“…We observed that exhaustion and cynicism covaried in a somewhat linear manner, while reduced professional efficacy demonstrated a non-linear relationship with them. Similar findings were reported in previous studies [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. The covariation of exhaustion and cynicism may result from a causal relationship.…”

“…Consistent with other empirical studies that apply person-oriented methods with other groups of heath care workers [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], we identified the engaged pattern as the most prevalent pattern (accounting for 43% of the care aide sample). Similar to the traditional engagement–burnout continuum defined by Leiter and Maslach (1998) [ 40 ], the engaged pattern represents one end point of the continuum, characterizing individuals with relatively positive work experiences.…”

The Complexity of Burnout Experiences among Care Aides: A Person-Oriented Approach to Burnout Patterns

et al. 2023

Care aides working in nursing homes experience burnout attributed to various workplace stressors. Burnout dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy) interact to form distinct burnout patterns. Using a person-oriented approach, we aimed to identify burnout patterns among care aides and to examine their association with individual and job-related factors. This was a cross-sectional, secondary analysis of the Translating Research in Elder Care 2019–2020 survey data collected from 3765 care aides working in Canadian nursing homes. We used Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess burnout and performed latent profile analysis to identify burnout patterns, then examined their associations with other factors. We identified an engaged pattern (43.2% of the care aide sample) with low exhaustion and cynicism and high professional efficacy; an overwhelmed but accomplished pattern (38.5%) with high levels of the three dimensions; two intermediate patterns—a tired and ineffective pattern (2.4%) and a tired but effective pattern (15.8%). The engaged group reported the most favorable scores on work environment, work-life experiences, and health, whereas the tired and ineffective group reported the least favorable scores. The findings suggest complex experiences of burnout among care aides and call for tailored interventions to distinct burnout patterns.

“…Various tools were used to assess the occurrence and characteristics of occupational burnout. The most frequently used scales were the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ] and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. The most common form of research was an Internet survey [ 2 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 25 , 26 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…High depersonalization was noted in the studies by Alvares et al [ 21 ] among 25% of nurses working in ICU and Sarabia-Cobo et al [ 2 ] among 21.8% of geriatric nurses. Mean values of personal accomplishment ranged from 29.8 ± 3.5 [ 24 ] do 38.74 ± 6.20 [ 26 ].…”

“…In a study by Wang et al [ 23 ] among nurses working in geriatric wards, the following were considered significant predictors: pay satisfaction, intrinsic motivation, turnover intention. It has also been shown that factors, such as: professional experience among older people [ 26 ], higher levels of agism, working in a for-profit facility reported [ 28 ], consideration of people with dementia as aesthetically unacceptable, the notion that there is a stigma in community structures towards people with dementia [ 29 ] have a significant impact on the burnout of geriatric nurses.…”

Occupational burnout is particularly common among nurses due to their work being associated with stress, showing understanding, compassion, and commitment, along with the simultaneous need to maintain the necessary emotional distance. The aim of this review was to assess the occurrence and characterization of burnout among nurses working within neurology, geriatric care, intensive care units and with patients infected with the novel COVID-19 virus. PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct the review. The search for literature was limited to articles meeting the inclusion criteria and published from 2017 to 2022 in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Wiley. A total of 768 articles from this category have been found. Ultimately, after in-depth analysis, 20 articles were included in the study. The group of respondents ranged from 49 to 3100 participants. According to the data, the percentages of nurses suffering from burnout in the presented research ranged from 14.3% to 84.7%, with the highest value of burnout among nurses who worked in the ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are certain factors among nurses that significantly affect the occurrence of burnout. These include, among others, working time, age, exposure to infection and contact with infected patients, lack of training on COVID-19 prevention, providing care to an increased number of COVID-19 patients per shift, lack of personal protective equipment, lack of support of administration, lack of pay satisfaction, intrinsic motivation and turnover intention.

Burnout produces negative effects on academic performance, and, in turn, feelings of inefficiency that are detrimental to students' psychosocial well‐being. The aim of this research is to determine the effects that self‐compassion and compassion toward others have on various burnout dimensions in a sample of medical students. A total of 235 medical students (61.7% women) aged between 16 and 32 years old (M = 19.82; SD = 2.37) belonging to a Colombian university participated. A cluster analysis to segment the population according to burnout was carried out along with nonparametric contrasts to identify differences in the levels of self‐compassion and compassion toward others between each profile. A series of regression analyses was designed to find out how each type of compassion was associated with burnout on each profile. The cluster analysis allowed us to identify three profiles. The low‐involvement profile (n = 51) is characterized by low depersonalization, intermediate levels of emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment and exhibits low levels of self‐compassion and compassion fatigue compared with the other profiles. The positive‐adaptation profile (n = 104) is characterized by low depersonalization levels, intermediate degrees of emotional exhaustion and high levels of personal accomplishment and exhibits the highest levels of self‐compassion and compassion fatigue compared with the other profiles. The high‐demand profile (n = 104) is characterized by intermediate depersonalization levels, medium–high levels of emotional exhaustion and high levels of personal accomplishment and exhibits intermediate levels of self‐compassion and low levels of compassion fatigue. Establishing profiles based on burnout allows students to be segmented and for precise knowledge to be acquired about the effects that both types of compassion have on the dimensions of burnout.
