The purpose of this study was: (1) to assess levels of burnout, work-related quality of life (WRQoL) and mental health symptoms among a sample of active workers living in Portugal; (2) to analyze differences in burnout, WRQoL and mental health symptoms by gender and shift work; (3) to analyze association levels among all variables under study; (4) to determine the predictive effect of burnout and WRQoL on mental health symptoms; and (5) to assess the mediating effect of burnout on the association between WRQoL and mental health symptoms. Eight-hundred and forty-one Portuguese active workers between 18 and 67 years of age participated in this study (Mean = 37.23; SD = 11.99). Results showed that women participants scored higher in burnout and mental health symptoms, and lower in overall WRQoL, than men; additionally, participants who worked in shifts presented higher mental health symptoms. Significant correlations were found for all variables and regression analysis demonstrated that 56% of the overall variance of mental health symptoms was explained by older age, shift work, lower WRQoL, and burnout (exhaustion and cognitive impairment). Finally, the mediation effect of burnout on the association between WRQoL and mental health symptoms was statistically significant. These findings are useful for health professionals and health managers who work in the field of occupational health in identifying variables affecting burnout, WRQoL and mental health symptoms.
（1）评估居住在葡萄牙的在职员工样本中的倦怠水平、工作相关生活质量（WRQoL）和心理健康症状；（2）分析倦怠、WRQoL和心理健康症状在性别和轮班工作方面的差异；（3）分析所研究的所有变量之间的关联程度；（4）确定倦怠和WRQoL对心理健康症状的预测作用；以及（5）评估倦怠在WRQoL与心理健康症状之间的关联中的中介作用。841名年龄在18至67岁之间的葡萄牙在职员工参与了本研究（均值=37.23；标准差=11.99）。结果显示，女性参与者在倦怠和心理健康症状方面得分高于男性，而在总体WRQoL方面得分低于男性；此外，轮班工作的参与者心理健康症状更严重。所有变量之间均存在显著相关性，回归分析表明，心理健康症状总体方差的56%可由年龄较大、轮班工作、较低的WRQoL和倦怠（疲惫和认知障碍）来解释。最后，倦怠在WRQoL与心理健康症状之间的关联中的中介作用具有统计学意义。这些发现对从事职业健康领域工作的卫生专业人员和卫生管理人员识别影响倦怠、WRQoL和心理健康症状的变量很有帮助。
