“…In the case of mean comparisons, it was found that correctional officers who experienced a burnout (model A) and burnout + PD (model B) showed: riskier frequencies of alcohol consumption (higher) and physical activity (lower) in the case of model A, and a riskier frequency of alcohol consumption (higher), overweight rates (higher) and social support (lower) for model B. In short, it is important to highlight some relevant findings of this research for what concerns this: first, that both a higher level of alcohol consumption and the fact of being overweight (and other health issues) were related to more psychosocial hazards at work, especially among workers belonging to high-risk professions such as prison-related ones [28,33,79]; and secondly, that other studies have related job stress and burnout to lower rates of social support, and have remarked the importance of strengthening co-workers’ support as a way of coping with adverse factors at the workplace [16,20].…”

“…According to the evidence, workers in different industries that experience burnout symptoms normally require the occupational implementation of programs and/or complex organizational strategies [6], in order to improve their way of coping with several comorbid factors, such as job stress [24,25], chronic fatigue and sleep problems [26], addictive behaviors [27,28], and different mid/long-term health complains [29,30].…”

“…Finally, some studies have documented worrying rates of prevalence of different addictive behaviors within this workforce, which seem to be related to the presence of work stressors, violence and burnout at the workplace. Some of the addictive behaviors are alcohol consumption, smoking and abuse of psychotropic drugs [28,53].…”

Introduction Correctional employees typically work under adverse conditions that may enhance the occurrence of different negative psychological states. Burnout constitutes a high-risk phenomenon that may affect people’s physical/mental health and welfare, especially in vulnerable occupational groups. Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize the burnout profile of correctional officers, and to associate their burnout profile with health issues and lifestyle factors. Methods The full sample was composed of 219 Colombian correctional officers with a mean age of 30.18 years. A questionnaire composed of three sections was employed: demographic data, burnout, and health information. Results A high proportion of participants reported burnout indicators, also significantly correlated to their health indicators and lifestyle factors. Cluster analyses were used in order to characterize the burnout/age (model A) and burnout/age/psychological disturbance (model B) profiles of correctional officers. Furthermore, significant differences were found when comparing frequencies of alcohol consumption and physical exercise (lifestyle indicators) and perceived social support of officers depending on their profile. Conclusions the discussion focused on the negative impact of burnout on health, and on the importance of strengthening occupational programs aimed at reducing the impact of hazardous working conditions that contribute to the development of burnout, and to the arise different mid and long-term health complains among correctional workers.

“…Nevertheless, some similar associations of predictors with burnout were identified in other occupational studies. Thus, alcohol use was shown to have a positive association with burnout in intensive care physicians [6], community pharmacists [7], prison employees [8], priests [9], and similar association was found in a populations-based sample [10]. Since data on firefighters on such association were not published before, findings from the latter population-based study assume that such association is not specific for firefighters and can be found in many other occupations.…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of burnout in Kazakhstan firefighters with regard to position and to identify predictors of faster burnout in order to plan future preventive strategies.MethodsData on demographics, lifestyle, fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)), SF-8 health-related quality of life (HRQL) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) emotional exhaustion (EX), cynicism (CY) and professional efficacy (PE) were obtained from 604 (94% men, median age 27 (interquartile range (IQR) 12) years) firefighters from all 18 fire departments of the city of Almaty. Associations between predictors and burnout EX, CY and PE dimensions were tested using multivariate logistic regression analyses.ResultsBurnout scores were low in this sample, including EX (0.6; IQR 1.55), CY (1.2; IQR 1.8) and PE (4.8; IQR 2.4). The highest median EX score (1.5 (IQR 2.0)) was in managers as opposed to the lowest in drivers (0.4 (IQR 1.4)), (p < 0.01). The greatest CY difference was between managers (2.1 (IQR 2.2)) and trainees (0.4 (IQR 1.1)) (p < 0.001). Age, work duration, education or fatigue were not associated with EX or CY in adjusted models. Better HRQL predicted lower EX and CY burnout, whereas alcohol never-use and language barrier predicted high CY. Male sex and no university degree predicted high PE burnout.ConclusionsFirefighting managers are at risk for higher burnout, irrespective of age and work duration, and the targeted intervention to combat burnout should include better uniform, mitigation of language barrier, general health improvement and less alcohol.

“…Bolat et al reported that smoking urologists experienced higher levels of burnout than non-smoker urologists [25]. Campos et al revealed that prison employees with alcohol consumption had higher burnout levels than sober ones [26]. The prevalence of smoking habit among the bank employees participating in the study was 41.0%.…”

Background/Aim: Burnout is a syndrome of physical exhaustion, prolonged fatigue, and helplessness reflected by negative attitudes on work, life, and other people around. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between burnout and working conditions in the banking sector, which has intense emotional demands. Methods: The research group consisted of 1183 individuals working in 138 different branches. A data form questioning the working conditions and sociodemographic characteristics of the participants that may be related to the burnout level was filled with face-to-face interviews. Burnout level was determined using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. This was planned as a cross-sectional research. Results: Higher levels of burnout was determined in those who thought that their family income was insufficient, who had to work more than 8.5 hours per day, who were exposed to physical or mental violence, those with chronic diseases and finally, workers who thought they dealt with too many customers in a day. Conclusion: It appears that the burnout levels of the employees can be reduced by arrangements at corporate and individual levels in addition to the regulations that can be realized within the legislation.
