“…A recent national survey found that almost one in five frontline Australian drug and alcohol workers experience high stress levels, contributing to lower job satisfaction, and increased likelihood of leaving their job (Duraisingam et al, 2006). In addition, studies of frontline substance misuse workers in the UK and US have found high levels of psychological morbidity and burnout, suggesting greater vulnerability for these workers than other health professionals and a propensity for high turnover (Knudsen, Ducharme, & Roman, 2006Oyefeso, Clancy, & Farmer, 2008). …”

“…These were included as predictors in the classification analyses. Because the data collected on counselor background in the ORC lacks information about some variables found to be predictive of counselor turnover (Knudsen, Ducharme, & Roman, 2006;Knudsen, Johnson, & Roman, 2003) these will need to be addressed in the future.…”

Because work environment is central to understanding job performance, drug counselor perceptions of their programs and their skills were examined in relation to their attitudes about innovations training and its utilization. Latent profile analysis of measures on organizational climate and staff attributes for 1047 counselors from 345 programs defined three categories of counselors -labeled as Isolated, Integrated, and Exceptional. All had generally positive views of their professional skills, although the Isolated group scored lower on scales representing professional growth and influence on peers. They were less positive about the "climate" of programs in which they worked and were higher on stress. Program resources predicted the counselor groups, with the Isolated having more limited resources. Counselor categorizations also differed in terms of workshop training experiences, with the Isolated group of counselors reporting significantly less exposure, satisfaction, and program-wide use of workshop training.

The norms according to original authors are the following: a) the low EE (0-16), the moderate EE (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) and the high EE (≤28); b) the low DP (0-5), the moderate DP (6-10), and the high DP (≤11); c) the low PA (≤37) the moderate PA (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36), and the high PA (0-29), [28].

“…A study of burnout among substance abuse workers in the United Kingdom [21] revealed high emotional exhaustion and high depersonalization in this sample. A few studies have examined work-related predictors of burnout in substance abuse workers, and these have been limited to the addiction workforce in the United States [22,23]. Although numerous studies have been conducted on prevalence and pattern of psychological morbidity in different occupational groups and settings, studies of psychological stress among substance abuse professionals rarely describe the nature of burnout and psychological morbidity [24].…”
