Although burnout in various fields of social work has been explored in some depth, there is a dearth of research on the gerontological social worker's experience with burnout. This article reports a national survey of burnout among 1,196 social workers who work with elderly people and who belong to either the National Association of Social Workers or the Gerontological Society of America. The extent to which these social workers experience the three components of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) is reported. The significant client, organizational, and personal factors associated with burnout among gerontological social workers are identified, and implications for social work practice are discussed.
尽管社会工作各个领域的职业倦怠已得到一定程度的深入研究，但针对老年社会工作者职业倦怠经历的研究却十分匮乏。本文报告了一项针对1196名老年社会工作者职业倦怠情况的全国性调查，这些社会工作者隶属于美国社会工作者协会或美国老年学学会，且从事与老年人相关的工作。报告了这些社会工作者经历职业倦怠三个维度（情感耗竭、去人格化和个人成就感）的程度。确定了与老年社会工作者职业倦怠相关的重要客户、组织和个人因素，并讨论了其对社会工作实践的启示。
