“…Specifically, and consistent with previous studies on adult job burnout (Baird & Jenkins, 2003; Mealer et al, 2009; Mitani et al, 2006) and our first hypothesis, this study also found that PTSD symptom severity was an important risk factor for adolescents’ academic burnout in the posttraumatic event context. A possible explanation is that, after trauma, people need to spend much individual resources (i.e.…”

“…Nevertheless, many studies have focused on the association between PTSD symptom severity and job burnout in adults (Baird & Jenkins, 2003; Mealer et al, 2009; Mitani, Fujita, Nakata, & Shirakawa, 2006); generally finding a positive association between these (Boudoukha, Altintas, Rusinek, Fantini-Hauwel, & Hautekeete, 2013; Rojas-Flores et al, 2015). One potential explanation for this pattern is that PTSD itself is a kind of emotional distress that is characterized by increased hyper-arousal states; people with more serious PTSD symptoms may be experiencing higher emotional tension and vigilance (Sullivan & Elbogen, 2014), and thus this type of person may be more likely to feel emotional exhaustion.…”

Background: Previous studies indicate that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and control beliefs can affect burnout and their unique role in this situation has been examined, but fewer studies have examined their combined role in adolescent’s academic burnout following traumatic events. Objective: This study examined the combined effect of PTSD symptom severity and control beliefs on academic burnout among adolescents, and assessed the moderating role of primary and secondary control beliefs in the relation between PTSD symptom severity and academic burnout. Methods: Seven hundred and forty-five adolescents were investigated using self-report questionnaires, and a series of regression equations examined the impact of PTSD severity and control beliefs on academic burnout. Results: PTSD symptom severity is associated positively with academic burnout, while primary and secondary control beliefs have a negative relation with academic burnout. In addition, primary control beliefs buffer the positive effects of PTSD symptom severity on academic burnout. We found that the positive relation between PTSD symptom severity and academic burnout in the low primary control beliefs group is more intense than that found in the high primary control beliefs group. Conclusions: PTSD symptom severity is a risk factor, whereas primary and secondary control beliefs are protective factors in academic burnout. In addition, PTSD symptom severity and primary control beliefs have a combined effect on academic burnout in adolescents following natural disasters.

“…A number of studies have also shown similar effects, including linkages between trauma exposure and both general psychopathology and PTSD symptoms, as well as a deterioration in physical health (e.g. Alexander & Klein, 2001;Blaney, 2009;Chamberlin & Green, 2010;Hill & Brunsden, 2009;Marmar et al, 1999;Mitani et al, 2006;Sterud et al, 2006;Ward, Lombard & Gwebushe, 2006).…”

“…QI is most successful when it is integrated into everyday work rather than added to existing work (10,21,53), especially in underresourced systems (23). Integrating QI and PHEP into routine public health practice may reduce burnout, a well-documented phenomenon in overworked professionals (20,41,45).…”

Quality improvement (QI) methods have been used in many industries to improve performance and outcomes. This chapter reviews key QI concepts and their application to public health emergency preparedness (PHEP). We conclude that for QI to flourish and become standard practice, changes to the status quo are necessary. In particular, public health should build its capabilities in QI, enhance implementation, and align incentives to facilitate use of QI.
