“…Previous studies have indicated the need to investigate the causes of burnout among young medical professionals as a growing trend. 19,20 In the case of young oncologists in Spain, along these lines, our study showed that the overall prevalence of burnout profile among young oncologists and residents was 25.1%, reaching a peak in the second year of training (35.7%). During the first year of residence, the trainees are assigned to different training rotations in the main specialties of general medicine.…”

Background: Young oncologists are at particular risk of professional burnout, and this could have a significant impact on their health and care of their patients. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced rapid changes in professionals' jobs and training, with the consequent physical and psychological effects. We aimed to characterize burnout levels and determinants in young oncologists, and the effects of the pandemic on their training and health. Methods: Two online surveys were conducted among oncology residents and young oncology specialists in Spain. The first addressed professional burnout and its determinants before the COVID-19 pandemic, while the second analyzed the impact of the pandemic on health care organization, training, and physical and psychological health in the same population. Results: In total, 243 respondents completed the first survey, and 263 the second; 25.1% reported significant levels of professional burnout. Burnout was more common among medical oncology residents (28.2%), mainly in their second year of training. It was significantly associated with a poor workelife balance, inadequate vacation time, and the burnout score. Nearly three-quarters of respondents (72%) were reassigned to COVID-19 care and 84.3% of residents missed part of their training rotations. Overall, 17.2% of this population reported that they had contracted COVID-19, 37.3% had scores indicating anxiety, and 30.4% moderate to severe depression. Almost a quarter of young oncologists (23.3%) had doubts about their medical vocation. Conclusions: Burnout affects a considerable number of young oncologists. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on causes of burnout, making it even more necessary to periodically monitor it to define appropriate detection and prevention strategies.

“…Personal accomplishment is positively correlated with dedication and internal investment dimensions, indicating that the two are related. The effort-reward imbalance for dedication is closely associated with increased probability of high emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment [33,17], is the most powerful predictor of emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment [34]. A study by, Colindres CV found that after adjusting the income return of low-income workers, the imbalance of employee effort-reward was reduced, and the degree and incidence of job burnout were also alleviated [35].…”

“…It is reported that work-family-con ict is an important factor affecting job burnout, especially working time con ict [15,16]. The imbalance between work efforts and work rewards also causes an increase in job burnout [17,18].Occupational stress is an inappropriate psychological pressure caused by employees in the work environment because their job requirements and ability requirements exceed their personal capacity, and it is more closely related to job burnout [14,9]. Xinjiang is one of the main coal mining regions in China, yet there are few studies on the relationship between job burnout and effort-reward imbalance, workfamily-con ict, and occupational stress among coal mine workers.…”

Background: Coal miners are prone to burnout symptoms due to their special working environment. There are no studies on the correlation between job burnout and occupational stress, effort-reward imbalance, and work-family-conflict.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1,346 coal miners were selected from 5 coal mining companies using stratified cluster sampling method. The Chinese version of the Job Burnout Scale, Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), Effort-Reward Inventory (ERI), and Working-Family-Conflict Scale were used to collect data from the coal miners. Correlation analysis and logistic regression methods were used to explore the factors affecting job burnout. Results: coal miners with different genders, ages, years of service, shift system, marital status, and type of work have different total scores and levels of job burnout (P<0.05). The effort-reward imbalance is associated with age, years of service, shift system and marital status (P<0.05). The occupational stress scores of coal miners of different genders, years of service, education, shift system and monthly income were different. Different shift systems, types of work, and work-family conflict scores were also different. The various dimensions of job burnout have varying degrees of correlation with the JCQ, ERI, and Working-Family-Conflict dimensions.Age, work demands, effort, work-family conflict and work-family conflict are risk factors for job burnout, and work autonomy is the protective factor. Conclusions:The detection rate of job burnout in coal miners in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is relatively high. Age, work demands, effort, and work-family conflict increase the incidence of job burnout, while work autonomy reduces job burnout.

“…In this context, there is evidence that religiosity/spirituality, faith, and belief (Esch, 2008a , 2010 , 2011a , b ; Doolittle et al, 2013 ; Kim and Yeom, 2018 ; Carneiro et al, 2019 ), meaningfulness (Daniel, 2014 ; Fragoso et al, 2016 ; Esch, 2019 ; Scanlan and Hazelton, 2019 ), and the sense of coherence, which consists of the components meaningfulness, manageability, and understandability, are associated with low levels of burnout or stress and can promote wellbeing and mental health (Van der Westhuizen et al, 2015 ). In addition, preliminary research suggests that community (Maslach and Leiter, 2008 ; Cicognani et al, 2009 ), value congruence (Lindblom et al, 2006 ; Asensio-Martínez et al, 2017 ), and effort–reward imbalance (high ERI ratio) are also negatively associated with burnout and stress (Basińska and Wilczek-Ruzyczka, 2013 ; Tang et al, 2018 ). Consequently, according to Esch ( 2019 ), from a healthcare perspective, the description of burnout needs to be expanded to avoid evasive or vague designations as it occurs in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11, Hillert et al, 2020 ; WHO, 2021 ), where burnout is defined as an “occupational phenomenon,” and to properly and holistically describe, diagnose, treat, and prevent burnout (Esch, 2019 ).…”

An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship Between Spirituality, Work Culture, and Burnout: The Need for an Extended Health and Disease Model

Apart from biological, psychological, and social factors, recent studies indicate that spirituality and work culture also play an important role in the onset of burnout. Hence, the commonly applied bio-psycho-social model of health and disease might not be sufficient to comprehensively explain and describe burnout. This study empirically investigates the relationship between spirituality (operationalized by perceived meaningfulness of work) and work culture (operationalized by sense of homeliness of the working environment) with burnout risk and work engagement. For this purpose, an anonymous cross-sectional data collection with fully standardized questionnaires and selected socio-demographic and work-related items was conducted among working adults (n = 439) from different industries via social media and local health service centers. For all scales and subscales, we found significant moderate to strong correlations. Furthermore, positive meaning within the perceived meaningfulness of work scale was the largest beta coefficient for burnout (β = −0.65) and work engagement (β = 0.62). Within sense of homeliness, the largest beta coefficient for burnout was needs fulfillment (β = −0.34) and work engagement emotional connection (β = 0.36). The strong associations suggest that the current health and disease model needs to be expanded to a bio-psycho-socio-spirito-cultural model to be able to sufficiently describe burnout. The perceived meaningfulness of work and a sense of homeliness should be adequately considered when examining the onset of burnout, describing burnout as a concept, and explaining work engagement.
