As a result of limited budgets, many treatment programs are forced to operate for extended periods at or beyond their capacity. The resulting pressure and stress on treatment staff can be taxing and lead to serious problems, including job burnout. Although the concept of burnout within other social service professions has been broadly researched, less attention has been given to burnout among drug abuse treatment staff, especially among corrections-based drug treatment staff. The goal of this article is to extend this area of research by exploring the impact of individual factors and organizational factors on burnout. Findings revealed that although a number of factors were related to staff burnout, younger counselor age, lower adaptability, poorer clarity of agency mission, and higher stress were most significant. Ways in which treatment programs might address these issues affecting staff burnout are discussed.
由于预算有限，许多治疗项目被迫长时间在满负荷或超负荷状态下运作。由此给治疗工作人员带来的压力和紧张可能会让人不堪重负，并导致严重问题，包括职业倦怠。尽管其他社会服务行业的职业倦怠概念已得到广泛研究，但药物滥用治疗工作人员，尤其是惩教机构药物治疗工作人员的职业倦怠问题却较少受到关注。本文的目的是通过探讨个人因素和组织因素对职业倦怠的影响来拓展这一研究领域。研究结果显示，尽管有许多因素与工作人员的职业倦怠有关，但最显著的因素是咨询师年龄较小、适应性较低、机构使命清晰度较差以及压力较大。文中还讨论了治疗项目解决这些影响工作人员职业倦怠问题的方法。
