Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The relationship between alexithymia and occupational burnout has not previously been studied. We investigated the association between alexithymia and occupational burnout in a representative nationwide population health study.

METHODS

This study was a part of the Finnish Health 2000 Study. The nationally representative sample comprised 3322 employees aged 30-64 years. Alexithymia was measured with the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and occupational burnout with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. Sociodemographic and health-related variables including depression were treated as confounders in the logistic regression analyses, which were performed alternately with TAS-20 total score and the scores of the three TAS-20 factor scales as alexithymia variables.

RESULTS

Alexithymia and its three facets were significantly associated with occupational burnout even when controlled for confounding factors.

CONCLUSIONS

Even though both alexithymia and depression are associated with burnout, alexithymia may be an independent risk factor for occupational burnout.

摘要

目的

此前尚未研究过述情障碍与职业倦怠之间的关系。我们在一项具有全国代表性的人群健康研究中调查了述情障碍与职业倦怠之间的关联。

方法

本研究是芬兰2000年健康研究的一部分。具有全国代表性的样本包括3322名年龄在30至64岁之间的员工。采用20项多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）测量述情障碍，采用马氏职业倦怠量表通用版测量职业倦怠。在逻辑回归分析中，将社会人口学和与健康相关的变量（包括抑郁）视为混杂因素，分别以TAS-20总分和TAS-20三个因子量表的得分作为述情障碍变量进行分析。
