Burnout syndrome (BOS) is a work-related constellation of symptoms characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. A cross-sectional survey was performed to study the prevalence of BOS among a randomly selected sample of 280 Italian Red Cross volunteers. A socio-demographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)-HSS were used to collect data. 241 volunteers participated (response rate: 86.1%). A significant proportion of the workers had BOS subscale scores in the highest tertile: emotional exhaustion 8.0%, depersonalization 35.9% and perceived lack of accomplishment 23.5%, respectively. Volunteers in emergency care reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion (p=0.004) and depersonalization (p=0.001), and lower level of personal accomplishment (p=0.042) than volunteers engaged in non-healthcare social and administrative duties. These findings support the opportunity of a set of administrative, organizational and individual preventive interventions for emergency volunteers' mental health.
burnout 综合征(BOS)是一种与工作相关的症状群,其特征为情绪衰竭、去人格化和个人成就感降低。进行了一项横断面调查,以研究随机选择的 280 名意大利红十字会志愿者样本中 BOS 的患病率。使用社会人口统计学问卷和 Maslach 倦怠量表(MBI-HSS)来收集数据。241 名志愿者参与(应答率:86.1%)。相当一部分劳动者的 BOS 分量表得分处于最高三分位数:情绪衰竭 8.0%,去人格化 35.9%和感知缺乏成就感 23.5%。从事紧急护理的志愿者报告的情绪衰竭(p=0.004)和去人格化(p=0.001)水平更高,个人成就感(p=0.042)水平更低,而从事非医疗保健社会和行政职责的志愿者则更低。这些发现支持为紧急志愿者的心理健康提供一系列行政、组织和个人预防干预措施的机会。
