“…This general pattern of a significant negative correlation between age and scores on the depersonalization subscale, and often on the emotional exhaustion subscale, but not on the personal accomplishment subscale is consistent with findings among other professional groups (Bartz & Maloney, 1986;Jackson, Barnett, Stajich, & Murphy, 1993;Lee & Ashforth, 1991;Price & Spence, 1994). There are two theories that are most often suggested to account for these correlations.…”

Previous research examining the links between age and burnout has found that there was a significant negative correlation between age and both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Two theories are often advanced to account for this: those who suffered from emotional exhaustion or depersonalization at a younger age may have left the job either on grounds of ill-health or to seek alternative employment; older workers may have learned how better to pace themselves in their work in order to minimize opportunities for burnout. The present study sought to evaluate these two theories. A sample of 340 Anglican clergy in England and Wales, who had all served one year in ordained ministry, completed a modified form of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, alongside a variety of socio-demographic questions, including age and years in ministry. The results show that it is chronological age, and not years in ministry, that is negatively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales of burnout. It is concluded that in order to reduce the incidence of burnout among clergy, particular strategies need to be introduced for the care and support of younger clergy.

“…On a personal level, they might adopt successful strategies from other medical professions, as described in the literature, such as dental educators [30] and the army's intensive-care nurses. [31] Instead of maladaptive strategies (using alcohol, smoking, or taking drugs) that will not resolve the problem, some proposed solutions that may be applicable for EPs include exercise, communication with other colleagues, regular rest and relaxation, and experiencing new hobbies or interests.

BACKGROUND:In Iran, few studies have evaluated emergency medicine as a career option. In the present study, we aimed to find out how Iranian emergency-medicine specialists view their specialty as a career. METHODS:Following a qualitative study, a Likert-scale questionnaire was developed. Iranian emergency physician specialists who had at least two years' job experience were contacted via email. A uniform link to a Web-based survey and a cover letter that explained the survey were sent to the recipients. We used the Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc analysis to determine the differences between demographic subgroups. RESULTS:A total of 109 eligible responses were received, a response rate of 72.63%. Of the responders, 57.8% were 30-40 years of age, 86.2% were male, 86.2% were single, 84.4% were faculty members and 90.8% had fewer than 10 years' job experience. The main problems occurring during the career of Iranian emergency physicians were: insuffi cient income, inadequate recognition of the specialty by the community, inadequate union support, insecurity in the emergency wards, overcrowding, job stresses and night shifts. Despite insufficiency of income, Iranian emergency physicians (EPs) did not care about the financial benefits of patient care. Academic activity had positive effects on the perspectives of Iranian emergency physicians regarding their careers. CONCLUSION:Iranian emergency physicians and leaders in emergency medicine should struggle to improve the present situation, aiming at an ideal state.

“…Numerous studies in the human service fields have identified a negative relationship between age and burnout (Bartz & Maloney, 1986;Jenkins & Ostchega, 1986;Rich & Rich, 1987;Rosenthal, Schmid, & Black, 1989). More specifically in education, many authorities feel the greatest risk of burnout occurs during the first 3 years of teaching (Cherniss, 1980;Hamberger, & Stone, 1983).…”

Although a great deal of attention has been focused recently on the problem of teacher burnout, very little has been done at the preservice level to prevent it. If, as many believe, burnout is most likely to occur in the first three years of teaching, steps should be taken during preservice training to help future teachers deal more effectively with the challenges and stress they will undoubtably encounter. The authors develop this rationale and identify four possible components of a burnout prevention curriculum, including 1) the development of realistic expectations, 2) the encouragement of detached concern, 3) a better understanding of classroom successes and failures, and 4) an introduction to various stress reduction strategies. F or MORE THAN A DECADE, many popular and professional periodicals have carried articles examining the growing and increasingly serious phenomenon of teacher burnout. Defined as a work-related stress syndrome, burnout is characterized by physical and emotional exhaustion, with negative effects upon motivation, attitudes, and personal relationships (Maslach, 1982). Large numbers of teachers in every area are affected (Cunningham, 1983;Gold, 1984), but according to the Office of Special Education Programs (Schrag, 1991), the attrition rate in special education is three and one-half times higher than what is found with regular teachers. In the context of critical shortages of special education teachers, attrition has significant implications for learners who have exceptionalities and for educational systems as a whole.
