This study investigates differences in health (Somatic Symptoms, Anxiety / Insomnia, Social Dysfunction and Severe Depression) relating to professional burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment) suffered by prison staff, taking into account the workplace where they perform their activities (therapeutic vs. non therapeutic modules).
The participants consisted of 222 workers of both sexes, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years, working in different prisons in Spain (Educational and Therapeutic Modules, N = 1001; Non Educational and Therapeutic Modules = 121). The tools used were the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) of Goldberg and Hillier (1979) and the burnout Inventory of Maslach and Jackson (1981). A mean comparison was performed using Students t test along with a linear regression analysis, differentiating between Educational and Therapeutic Modules and Non Educational and Therapeutic Modules.
Significant differences were found between both clusters and predictive values of burnout factors for the different health levels in both prison models were identified. Possible explanations for the findings and the implications for intervention are discussed.
本研究调查监狱工作人员职业倦怠（情感耗竭、去个性化和个人成就感低落）所导致的健康差异（躯体症状、焦虑/失眠、社交功能障碍和重度抑郁），同时考虑他们开展工作的场所（治疗性与非治疗性单元）。
参与者为222名年龄在18至60岁之间的男女工作人员，他们在西班牙不同监狱工作（教育与治疗单元，N = 1001；非教育与治疗单元 = 121）。所使用的工具是戈德堡和希利尔（1979年）的一般健康问卷（GHQ - 28）以及马斯拉克和杰克逊（1981年）的职业倦怠量表。使用学生t检验进行均值比较，并进行线性回归分析，区分教育与治疗单元和非教育与治疗单元。
发现两个组群之间存在显著差异，并确定了两种监狱模式中不同健康水平的职业倦怠因素预测值。讨论了研究结果的可能解释及干预意义。
