“…However the meta-analysis by Wheeler, Vassar, Worley, and Barnes (2011) examined 84 studies finding that this scale shows reliability ranging from .50 to .91, and this variation may depend on whether the questionnaire was the English version or a foreign-language translation. Translated questionnaires (36 studies) showed lower reliability with a confidence interval ranging between .65 and .71.…”

Título: Lidiando con el burnout: Análisis de relaciones lineales, no lineales y de interacción. Resumen: Este estudio analiza la relación entre el afrontamiento centrado en la acción y en la emoción y las dimensiones del burnout (agotamiento emocional, cinismo y realización personal) comparando los modelos lineal, no-lineal y de interacción mediante análisis de regresión cuadrática. La muestra consistió en 202 profesores de universidad. Variables como el sexo o la edad no resultaron significativas al explicar la relación entre el afrontamiento y el burnout. Los resultados muestran relaciones significativas negativas entre el afrontamiento centrado en la emoción y el agotamiento y cinismo y positivas con la realización personal (modelo lineal). También muestran que niveles muy bajos o muy altos de afrontamiento centrado en la emoción disminuyen la realización personal de forma significativa (modelo no-lineal), y que el efecto combinado de estrategias de afrontamiento es significativo, de forma que cuando el uso de las estrategias enfocadas en la emoción es mayor que el de las enfocadas en la acción, el agotamiento aumenta y la realización personal disminuye. Estos resultados apoyan la idea de que para comprender la naturaleza flexible y adaptativa del afrontamiento y de que éste opera en un proceso combinado donde unas estrategias afectan a las otras, es de gran utilidad la aplicación de modelos nolineales y de interacción. Finalmente, se discuten las implicaciones prácti-cas para futuras investigaciones y para los programas de prevención y de intervención sobre el burnout. Palabras clave: Afrontamiento enfocado en la acción; afrontamiento enfocado en la emoción; burnout; relación lineal; relación no lineal; efecto de interacción.Abstract: This study analyzes the relationship between action-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion, cynicism and personal accomplishment) by comparing linear, non-linear and interaction models using quadratic regression analysis. The sample consisted of 202 college professors. Variables such as gender or age were not significant when explaining the relationship between coping and burnout. The results show significant negative relationships between emotion-focused coping and exhaustion and cynicism, and positive relationships with personal accomplishment (linear model). They also show that very low or very high levels of emotion-focused coping diminish personal accomplishment significantly (non-linear model), and that the combined effect of strategies is significant, so that when the use of emotion-focused coping is greater than the use of action-focused coping, exhaustion increases and personal accomplishment decreases. These results support the idea that in order to better understand the flexible and adaptive nature of coping and that it operates in a combined process where one strategy affects the other, the application of non-linear and interaction models are very useful. Finally, we discuss the practical implications for future research ...

“…According to the Dutch association, this global burnout score should be used as a tool for diagnosing work-related mental problems. quite recently, Wheeler, Vassar, Worley, and Barnes (2011) suggested that the emotional exhaustion subscale of the MBi may be used as a single global burnout factor in applied research settings to categorize individuals along a burnout continuum.…”

College student burnout has been assessed mainly with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). However, the construct's definition and measurement with MBI has drawn several criticisms and new inventories have been suggested for the evaluation of the syndrome. A redefinition of the construct of student burnout is proposed by means of a structural equation model, reflecting burnout as a second order factor defined by factors from the MBI–Student Survey (MBI-SS); the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory–Student Survey (CBI-SS) and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory–Student Survey (OLBI–SS). Standardized regression weights from Burnout to Exhaustion and Cynicism from the MBI-SS scale, Personal Burnout and Studies Related Burnout from the CBI, and Exhaustion and Disengagement from OLBI, show that these factors are strong manifestations of students' burnout. For college students, the burnout construct is best defined by two dimensions described as “physical and psychological exhaustion” and “cynicism and disengagement.”

“…[21][22][23][24][25] The most common measure of burnout is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), a well-validated, 26 widely-used self-survey measure. 27,28 The MBI comprises three scales: 1) emotional exhaustion (nine items), a state of chronic emotional and physical depletion; 2) depersonalization (five items), a sense of disconnection from coworkers and clients; and 3) diminished personal accomplishment (eight items), a negative sense of self-value and ability. 29,30 The MBI has been validated among both physicians 31 and nurses, 32 and has been found to accurately discriminate between populations of employees The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs or the United States government.…”

Using a Single Item to Measure Burnout in Primary Care Staff: A Psychometric Evaluation

et al. 2014

BACKGROUND: Burnout affects nearly half of all U.S. nurses and physicians, and has been linked to poor outcomes such as worse patient safety. The most common measure of burnout is the well-validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). However, the MBI is proprietary and carries licensing fees, posing challenges to routine or repeated assessment. OBJECTIVE: To compare a non-proprietary, single-item burnout measure to a single item from the MBI Emotional Exhaustion (MBI:EE) subscale that has been validated as a standalone burnout measure. DESIGN: Cross-sectional online survey. PARTICIPANTS: A sample of primary care providers (PCPs), registered nurses, clinical associates (e.g., licensed practical nurses (LPNs), medical technicians), and administrative clerks in the Veterans Health Administration surveyed in 2012. MAIN METHODS: We compared a validated one-item version of the MBI:EE and a non-proprietary single-item burnout measure used in the Physician Work Life Study. We calculated kappa statistics, sensitivity and specificity, positive predictive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), and area under the receiver operator curve (AUC). We conducted analyses stratified by occupation to determine the stability of the correlation between the two measures. KEY RESULTS: We analyzed responses from 5,404 participants, including 1,769 providers and 1,380 registered nurses. The prevalence of burnout was 36.7 % as measured on the single MBI:EE item and 38.5 % as measured on the non-proprietary single-item measure. Relative to the MBI:EE, the non-proprietary single-item measure had a correlation of 0.79, sensitivity of 83.2 %, specificity of 87.4 %, and AUC of 0.93 (se=0.004). Results were similar when stratified by respondent occupation. CONCLUSIONS: A non-proprietary single-item measure served as a reliable substitute for the MBI:EE across occupations. Because it is non-proprietary and easy to interpret, it has logistical advantages over the one-item MBI.
