Healthcare professionals are prone to experience burnout-a psychological syndrome resulting from chronic stressors at work. Some individual differences, like self-compassion-the non-judgmental observation of one's own pain and failure, while understanding that these are part of being human-can protect against burnout.
We administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Stressful Life Events Scale to a sample of healthcare professionals (medical residents, nurses, and physicians) in Lebanon ( = 93).
The sample demonstrated a high degree of Emotional Exhaustion ( = 27, SD = 11.79), average levels of Depersonalization ( = 9.46, SD = 6.35), and Personal Accomplishment ( = 34.95, SD = 6.58), and moderate levels of Self-compassion ( = 3.25). All burnout components were significantly and inversely associated with self-compassion, with the strongest association found between Emotional Exhaustion and Self-compassion ( = -.37, < .001). Self-compassion significantly explained burnout, above and beyond sociodemographic and occupational variables (Emotional Exhaustion: = .11, (1.85) = 12.71, < .01; Depersonalization: = .07, (1.85) = 6.73, = .01; Low Personal Accomplishment: = .11, (1.85) = 11.29, < .01).
Burnout is prevalent in the sample, yet self-compassion may be a possible protective factor.
医疗保健专业人员容易出现职业倦怠——一种由工作中的慢性压力源导致的心理综合征。一些个体差异，比如自我同情——对自身痛苦和失败进行不带评判的观察，同时明白这些是人类生存的一部分——可以预防职业倦怠。
我们对黎巴嫩的93名医疗保健专业人员（住院医师、护士和医生）样本进行了马氏职业倦怠量表、自我同情量表和应激性生活事件量表的测试。
该样本表现出高度的情感耗竭（均值=27，标准差=11.79）、中度的去个性化（均值=9.46，标准差=6.35）和个人成就感（均值=34.95，标准差=6.58），以及中等程度的自我同情（均值=3.25）。所有职业倦怠成分均与自我同情显著负相关，情感耗竭与自我同情之间的关联最强（相关系数=-0.37，p<0.001）。自我同情显著解释了职业倦怠，超出了社会人口统计学和职业变量的影响（情感耗竭：β=0.11，t(1.85)=12.71，p<0.01；去个性化：β=0.07，t(1.85)=6.73，p=0.01；低个人成就感：β=0.11，t(1.85)=11.29，p<0.01）。
职业倦怠在该样本中普遍存在，但自我同情可能是一个潜在的保护因素。
