Meaning at work has been proposed as one of the key drivers of professional burnout in healthcare, but few studies have simultaneously measured this relation.
In this cross-sectional analysis of 1637 individuals at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, burnout was measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory work-related subscale.
Meaningful work was measured using items adapted from the Work as Meaning Inventory. The prevalence of work-related burnout increased with each level of diminished meaning at work. From the highest ("always") to the lowest ("never") level of meaning at work, the prevalence of burnout was: 13, 26, 57, 84, and 94%, respectively.
Work-related burnout was inversely proportional to reported meaning at work in an academic medical center.
工作意义被认为是医疗保健领域专业倦怠的关键驱动因素之一，但很少有研究同时测量这种关系。
在对阿肯色大学医学科学分校的 1637 名个体进行的这项横断面分析中，使用哥本哈根倦怠量表的与工作相关的子量表来衡量倦怠。
有意义的工作使用改编自工作意义清单的项目进行衡量。与工作相关的倦怠的患病率随着工作意义的降低而增加。从工作意义最高（“总是”）到最低（“从不”）的水平，倦怠的患病率分别为：13%、26%、57%、84%和 94%。
在学术医疗中心，与工作相关的倦怠与报告的工作意义成反比。
