In this article, I review the literature on burnout and resilience among clergy. The existing research shows that the factors related to clergy burnout include the quality of interpersonal skills, relationships outside the congregation, establishment of peer/mentor relationships, the existence of high role expectations, personal spirituality and the ability to set healthy emotional boundaries. Recent studies using positive psychology as a framework identify a number of personal and situational qualities that promote resilience in clergy. Based on these findings, I suggest interventions that should be made by faith groups to better support clergy and make recommendations for further research.
在本文中，我回顾了关于神职人员职业倦怠和心理韧性的文献。现有研究表明，与神职人员职业倦怠相关的因素包括人际技能的质量、会众之外的人际关系、同伴/导师关系的建立、高角色期望的存在、个人灵性以及设定健康情感界限的能力。最近以积极心理学为框架的研究确定了一些促进神职人员心理韧性的个人和情境特质。基于这些发现，我提出了信仰团体应采取的干预措施，以更好地支持神职人员，并为进一步研究提出建议。
