The health and working environment of bus drivers is compromised in low-middle-income countries like Pakistan which leads to burnout and excessive Road Traffic Crashes. Hence, this study delves into factors affecting their safe operations from health and work environment perspectives and measures their associated stress and Burnout level. In a study of four hundred and ninety-nine (499), 86% city and 14% transit bus drivers are surveyed through a questionnaire. Stress is estimated for city and transit bus drivers, using the Effort/Reward Imbalance Model (ERI) of Siegrist, and burnout is calculated using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). For the determination of important determinants, descriptive and regression analyses are conducted. Findings show that stress has emerged as a negative factor for the physical and psychological health of city and transit bus drivers. Results based on bus drivers' responses suggest that organisational awareness and emphasis on health and safety levels can significantly reduce driver stress and burnout. This study explores burnout and work-related stress of bus drivers in Lahore (Pakistan). City and transit bus drivers were interviewed through a questionnaire, containing three sections, using different subjective ratings based upon their past reliability. Results indicate that stress in bus drivers emerged as a physical and psychological health-damaging factor.
在巴基斯坦等中低收入国家，公共汽车司机的健康和工作环境受到损害，导致 burnout 和过度的道路交通碰撞。因此，本研究从健康和工作环境的角度深入探讨了影响他们安全操作的因素，并测量了他们的相关压力和 burnout 水平。在一项对 499 名（499）城市和 14%的过境巴士司机的调查中，通过问卷进行了调查。使用 Siegrist 的努力/回报失衡模型（ERI）来估计城市和过境巴士司机的压力，使用哥本哈根倦怠量表（CBI）来计算 burnout。为了确定重要的决定因素，进行了描述性和回归分析。研究结果表明，压力对城市和过境巴士司机的身心健康构成了负面影响。基于巴士司机的反应结果表明，组织意识和对健康和安全水平的重视可以显著降低司机的压力和 burnout。本研究探讨了巴基斯坦拉合尔的巴士司机的 burnout 和与工作相关的压力。通过问卷对城市和过境巴士司机进行了访谈，问卷包含三个部分，根据过去的可靠性，使用不同的主观评分。结果表明，巴士司机的压力是一个对身心健康有害的因素。
