Burnout syndrome is a state of total exhaustion related to work conditions and stress from work. Recent findings suggest that logotherapy and the concepts of existential meaning and life fulfilment could provide a useful framework for explaining and potentially preventing burnout. This review article summarizes and reflects current knowledge concerning the relation between burnout syndrome and existential vacuum as a potential correlate. It also explores the risks of burnout and the need of better definition of this condition including more precise diagnostic criteria and internationally recognized measurement tools. Intensified research on relations between burnout and lack of existential fulfilment and meaning could help with future prevention and intervention design.
职业倦怠综合征是一种与工作条件和工作压力相关的全面疲惫状态。最近的研究结果表明，存在主义心理治疗以及存在意义和生活满足感的概念可为解释和潜在预防职业倦怠提供一个有用的框架。这篇综述文章总结并反映了关于职业倦怠综合征与作为潜在相关因素的存在真空之间关系的当前知识。它还探讨了职业倦怠的风险以及更好地定义这种状况的必要性，包括更精确的诊断标准和国际认可的测量工具。加强对职业倦怠与缺乏存在满足感和意义之间关系的研究有助于未来预防和干预方案的设计。
