Burnout is a state of work-related emotional and physical exhaustion. Burnout is related to sleep complaints. By contrast, people with optimistic attitude seem to be less vulnerable to stress and burnout. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the relation between burnout, depressive symptoms, satisfaction with life, and sleep complaints.
A total of 2231 participants (age [years]: M=40.8; 1183 females and 1048 males) took part in the study. Participants completed a series of questionnaires such as the Tedium Measure, the Insomnia Severity Index, and the Satisfaction with Life-questionnaire. For statistical analyses, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) was applied.
Pessimism, emotional and physical exhaustion, depressive symptoms, and low satisfaction with life were interrelated. Emotional and physical exhaustion was related to sleep complaints, whereas sleep complaints were not related to depressive symptoms and pessimism. Satisfaction with life was related to low sleep complaints, though mediated via low emotional and physical exhaustion, and low pessimism.
Results suggest that among burnout symptoms emotional and physical exhaustion, but not depressive symptoms, are related to sleep complaints. Satisfaction with life, via low emotional and physical exhaustion, and low pessimism, further contributes to favourable sleep.
burnout 是一种与工作相关的情绪和身体疲惫的状态。 burnout 与睡眠问题有关。相比之下，乐观的人似乎不太容易受到压力和 burnout 的影响。因此，本研究旨在调查 burnout、抑郁症状、生活满意度和睡眠问题之间的关系。
共有 2231 名参与者（年龄[岁]：M=40.8；女性 1183 名，男性 1048 名）参与了研究。参与者完成了一系列问卷，如 Tedium Measure、Insomnia Severity Index 和 Satisfaction with Life-questionnaire。为了进行统计分析，应用了结构方程模型（SEM）。
悲观、情绪和身体疲惫、抑郁症状和低生活满意度相互关联。情绪和身体疲惫与睡眠问题有关，而睡眠问题与抑郁症状和悲观无关。生活满意度与低睡眠抱怨有关，尽管是通过低情绪和身体疲惫以及低悲观来介导的。
结果表明，在 burnout 症状中，情绪和身体疲惫，而不是抑郁症状，与睡眠问题有关。生活满意度通过低情绪和身体疲惫以及低悲观进一步有助于良好的睡眠。
