Abstract: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-… Show more
“…Higher means indicate greater burnout. The MBI–SS demonstrated good reliability (subscale αs > .80), and convergent validity against other measures of student burnout (Maroco & Campos, ). In the current sample, the total scale reliability was good (α = .89).…”
Objective
Self‐compassion is an adaptive emotion‐regulation strategy characterised by self‐kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. This cross‐sectional study examined the mediating role of self‐compassion in student psychological health.
Method
An international sample of 306 tertiary students completed measures of self‐compassion, well‐being (satisfaction with life, flourishing, and positive affect), and distress (stress, negative affect, burnout, and depression).
Results
Correlational analyses indicated that higher self‐compassion was associated with higher well‐being and lower distress. A series of multiple regression analyses indicated that self‐compassion mediated the relationships between stress and depression, negative affect and depression, burnout and depression, and aggregate distress and aggregate well‐being.
Conclusion
Overall, the findings suggest that self‐compassion may be a useful addition to interventions aimed at mitigating student distress and improving student well‐being.

Introduction:Burnout is a psychological syndrome, characterized by a state of high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization and low personal accomplishment, which leads to erosion of personal, professional and health values. This study reports the incidence of burnout in Portuguese Healthcare professionals. Material and Methods: Burnout in Portugal's health professionals was assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory -Human Services Survey, using a zero (never) to six (always) ordinal scale, on a sample of 1 262 nurses and 466 physicians with mean age of 36.8 year (SD = 12.2) and 38.7 (SD = 11.0), respectively. Participants came from all national districts (35% Lisbon, 18% Oporto, 6% Aveiro, 6% Setúbal, 5% Coimbra, 5% Azores and Madeira), working in hospitals (54%), Families' Health Units (30%), Personalized Health Units (8%) and other public or private institutions (8%).Results: Analysis of MBI-HSS scores, stratified by district, revealed that both types of professionals had moderate to high levels of burnout (M = 3.0, SD = 1.7) with no significant differences between the two groups. Vila Real (M = 3.8, SD = 1.7) and Madeira (M = 2.5, SD = 1.5) were the regions where burnout levels were higher and lower, respectively. Burnout levels did not differ significantly between Hospital, Personalized Health Units and Families' Health Centers. Professionals with more years in the function were less affected by Burnout (r = -0.15). No significant association was observed with the duration of the working day (r = 0.04). The strongest predictor of burnout was the perceived quality of working conditions (r = -0.35). Discussion: The occurrence of the burnout syndrome in Portuguese health professionals is frequent, being associated with a poor working conditions perception and reduced professional experience. The incidence of the burnout syndrome shows regional differences which may be associated with different and suboptimal conditions for health care delivery. Results suggest the need for interventions ARTIGO ORIGINAL
“…It was considered as a psychological syndrome specific to professionals performing human services or support tasks for other people (Maroco and Campos, 2012). Burnout is associated with negative organizational outcomes such as reduced job performance, absenteeism, turnover intention, lower career satisfaction, and reduced quality of service (Hultell and Gustavsson, 2010;Volker et al, 2010;Adekola, 2012).…”
Burnout is a psychological syndrome that reduces people's motivation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. People whose jobs are related with human interaction are usually exposed to burnout. In the literature, three dimensions of burnout were defined as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. In this study antecedents (cynicism, role ambiguity, role conflict and organizational justice) and consequences (job satisfaction, organizational commitment) of burnout were determined in logistics sector which has never been analyzed before in Turkey. Sample size of the study was 420 and judgment sampling method was used. As a result, it was found that antecedents of burnout except organizational justice are positively correlated with burnout factors, and burnout is negatively correlated with its consequences.
