Nursing is reported to be a stressful occupation, and chronic stress is often associated with burnout. Many ways of reducing stress have been proposed. Of these, the Balint group method provides a forum in which health professionals can present and attempt to resolve stressful situations with clients, coworkers, or other professionals. Balint groups help health professionals improve coping with psychosocial stressors in a supporting and accepting group atmosphere. This article reports changes in professional self efficacy associated with reduced burnout in a group of 13 nurses working in community based primary care clinics. Results showed significant increases in awareness and ability cognitions after the Balint group and reduced emotional exhaustion and cognitive weariness. The ramifications of these findings are discussed.
据报道，护理工作是一项压力很大的职业，长期压力往往与职业倦怠相关。人们提出了许多减轻压力的方法。其中，巴林特小组方法提供了一个平台，健康专业人员可以在这个平台上与客户、同事或其他专业人员一起呈现并尝试解决压力情境。巴林特小组帮助健康专业人员在支持性和接纳性的小组氛围中提高应对心理社会压力源的能力。本文报告了在社区基层医疗诊所工作的13名护士组成的小组中，与职业倦怠减轻相关的职业自我效能的变化。结果显示，参加巴林特小组后，意识和能力认知有显著提高，情绪耗竭和认知疲劳有所减轻。本文讨论了这些发现的影响。
