%X Burnout is a work-related stress syndrome that is particularly prominent in human services occupations such as health care.1,2 The onset of burnout can be insidious, thwarting early recognition, but it is not an irreversible event. In contrast to depression, symptoms of burnout tend to resolve with an improvement in the work environment consistent with its close occupational alignment.2,3 Although burnout is not formally diagnosed as a clinical disorder, it was included in the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems as a result of its substantial personal health impact.4 DEFINITION AND MEASUREMENT OF BURNOUT Section: ChooseTop of pageAbstractDEFINITION AND MEASUREMEN... <<PREVALENCECONSEQUENCESRISK FACTORSPROTECTIVE FACTORS: RESIL...SOLUTIONSCONCLUSIONReferences The 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory¨CHealth Services Score was developed in the United States in the 1980s and is the most widely used and validated assessment tool for self-reported symptoms of burnout.2,5,6 The Maslach Burnout Inventory consists of three domains. High emotional exhaustion and depersonalization correlate with higher degrees of experienced burnout, as does diminished personal accomplishment.2,5 This triad is currently the most commonly cited definition of burnout. Maslach recommends analyzing the individual domain scores as continuous data where possible or as categorical data with defined cut-off scores (low, moderate, or high burnout) being an alternative.2,7 In addition, single-item measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization from the full Maslach Burnout Inventory have been validated as accurate proxy measures of burnout in larger surveys.8-13 The more recently developed Copenhagen Burnout Inventory is another occupational burnout measure that is being increasingly used.14,15 It is composed of three scales assessing personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout15 (Sidebar 1). The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was initially validated in the PUMA study (Project on Burnout, Motivation and Job Satisfaction), a Danish longitudinal study of burnout in human service sector employees.15 The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was developed to create an alternative questionnaire that was more applicable to a broader range of occupations, was more acceptable within the Danish sociocultural context, and remained in the public domain instead of requiring commercial distribution.15 The development of alternative measures to the Maslach Burnout Inventory should be welcomed because it encourages more
