“…Burnout is a stress phenomenon that shows the expected pattern of health correlates, such as headaches, gastrointestinal disorders, muscle tension, hypertension, cold/influenza episodes and sleep disturbances 3. Karasek's job demand–control–social support model predicts that workers with high-strain jobs, characterised by high demands in combination with little control and little social support in the workplace, are at high risk of disease 25.…”

“…Regarding organisational factors workload, effort reward imbalance, work conflicts, diminished resources, job insecurity and continuing rapid organisational changes have been implicated 23 Burnout has been also described as failure to cope with occupational stress in occupations requiring intensive communication and interaction with service recipients 3. Moreover, high job strain for white-collar men (workers in ‘management, business and financial occupations’ and in ‘professional and related occupations’) has been recently evidenced to increase the risk of mortality 4…”

ObjectivesProfessional burnout is closely related to work stress but less frequently associated with disturbed sleep. This study determines whether job strain and sleep disturbances are associated risk factors of burnout among financial workers.DesignObservational study.Participants1300 employees (725 female) of a financial company.Primary measuresSelf-reported questionnaires (Maslach Burnout Inventory, Job Content Questionnaire, Sleep questionnaire based on ICSD-3 classification), the Epworth sleepiness scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).ResultThe prevalence of burnout was 10.2% (9.0% moderate and 1.2% severe). 23.3% of workers were considered with high job strain, and 93.1% had a high level of job satisfaction. 16.8% of individuals had insomnia and 97% reported non-restorative sleep. The bivariate analyses demonstrate a higher risk of burnout in participants with insomnia (OR=14.7, 95% CI 9.8 to 21.9), non-restorative sleep (OR=9.9, 95% CI 5.1 to 19.5) and anxiety (OR=10.2, 95% CI 6.8 to 15.3). High job strain was associated with burnout (OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.6). This association was not maintained after adjustment for sleep parameters. Job satisfaction was another independent risk factor for burnout (OR=124, 95% CI 65 to 237).ConclusionsIn our sample of financial workers, job strain represents a burnout risk factor only if associated with insomnia. Insomnia can be considered as a relevant clinical marker that should be targeted in mental health prevention programmes at the workplace.

“…Burnout is a well‐recognized phenomenon of work‐related stress and is characterized as comprising the elements of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment (Maslach & Jackson, ). Burnout contributes to poor job performance, low productivity, high absence and job turnover, and can exert a negative effect on colleagues (Carod‐Artal & Vázquez‐Cabrera, ; Tennant, ). Many factors are known to contribute to burnout in nursing, particularly heavy workloads, intense pressure, shift work and lack of time to relax (Adriaenssens, Gucht, & Maes, ; Humphries et al, ).…”

Aim:This study aims to identify the role that spiritual climate has in reducing burnout and intentions to leave amongst clinical nurses.Background: Both shortages and the high turnover of nurses are challenging problems worldwide. Enhancing the spiritual climate amongst nurses can enhance teamwork, organisational commitment and job satisfaction and can play a role in reducing burnout and turnover intention. Methods:A total of 207 clinical nurses working at a tertiary university hospital were included in this cross-sectional, single-site study. Independent-samples t test and ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to explore the relationships amongst related factors. Results:Most clinical departments showed a moderate spiritual climate (60.24 ± 0.82) with high job burnout (33.62 ± 0.28) and turnover intention (2.37 ± 0.57). A good spiritual climate was correlated with high job satisfaction (r = 0.412, p < 0.01), low burnout and turnover intention (r = −0.423, p < 0.01 and r = −0.292, p < 0.01, respectively). Spiritual climate could also indirectly influence nurses' job burnout and turnover intention (R 2 = 10.31%). Conclusions: Different departments have different spiritual climates. The findings from this study indicate that spiritual climate may impact nursing burnout and turnover. Implications for nursing management: Using a spiritual climate scale provides health care decision-makers with clear information about staff spirituality wellbeing. Interventions to improve spiritual climate can benefit teamwork in clinical departments. K E Y W O R D S burnout, job satisfaction, nurses, spiritual climate, spirituality, turnover intention

“…Several studies carried out on Argentine workers show the existence of problems and symptoms that deteriorate mental health and quality of life, for example, chronic fatigue, symptoms of anxiety, tension, emotional distress, feelings of inefficiency and low personal fulfillment, among others (Castellano, Muñoz-Navarro, Toledo, Spontón, & Medrano, 2019;Medrano & Trógolo, 2018. Although there are undoubtedly contextual factors that help explain these results; work-related health problems represent a transnational and transcultural problem (Bakker & Demerouti, 2013;Carod-Artal & Vázquez-Cabrera, 2012). For this reason, in recent years, researchers from different latitudes started to show interest in the processes of recovery from work-related fatigue and stress, which occur during leisure time, as well as its effects on health, wellbeing and performance at work (Fritz, Yankelevic, Zarubin, & Barger, 2010;Moreno-Jiménez & Gálvez-Herrer, 2013, Sonnentag & Schiffner, 2019.…”

Título: Propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación en trabajadores argentinos. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio consistió en examinar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación para su uso en Argentina. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 505 trabajadores provenientes del sector público, privado y organizaciones no gubernamentales. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenciaron que un modelo de cuatro factores ─distanciamiento psicológico del trabajo, relajación, búsqueda de retos y control sobre el tiempo libre─ presentó un buen ajuste a los datos. Por lo tanto, el cuestionario mantiene la misma estructura que la escala original. Los análisis de confiabilidad mostraron que la escala posee una adecuada consistencia interna (α = .75 -.92) y fiabilidad de constructo (H = .88 -.93). Se examinó la validez test-criterio con medidas de burnout, work engagement y afecto, obteniéndose relaciones teóricamente esperadas. En conclusión, la escala posee adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para ser utilizada en el contexto argentino, permitiendo disponer de un instrumento confiable que permite profundizar el conocimiento sobre la recuperación y brindando una herramienta valiosa para la práctica profesional. Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire in Argentina. Five-hundred and five workers from public, private and non-governmental sectors participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor model has an acceptable fit to the data. Thus, as the original scale, the Argentinean validation maintains the four recovery experiencespsychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences and control over leisure time. Reliability analyses showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α ranging from .75 to .92) and construct reliability (coefficient H ranging from .88 to .93) for all sub-scales. Expected correlations with measures of work engagement, burnout and negative affect supported for criterion validity. Thus, the Recovery Experience Questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties for its use in Argentina, thereby providing a reliable instrument that allows deepening knowledge about recovery, and a valuable assessment tool for practitioners.
