“…A systematic review by Cooper et al [10] showed that individual demographic factors such as being married, older, more educated, and having a sense of optimism had a buffering effect on burnout. In Japan, Tanaka et al [11] reported that burnout was related to feelings of criticism and hostility towards residents among long-term care facility employees.…”

AimThe aim of our study was to investigate factors associated with burnout of nurses and care workers in nursing homes and geriatric hospitals in Japan. The use of Buddhist priests, the major religion in Japan, was also explored.MethodsQuestionnaires for nurses and care workers were sent to 10 care facilities. The survey questions included basic demographic information, the Japanese Burnout Index and the Japanese version of the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care Of Dying Scale Form B. They also asked questions about use of Buddhist priests for tasks such as helping to manage the anxiety or distress of patients, families, and staff, or providing sutra chanting.ResultsIn total, 323 questionnaires were returned, of which 260 were used for analysis. Only 18 (6.9%) answered that they had any religious beliefs, which was relatively low compared to 27% from governmental survey data. In total, however, 71% expressed a need for Buddhist priests to help with anxiety or distress among patients. A positive attitude towards providing end-of-life care was a protective factor against depersonalization. It was, however, also related to lower feelings of personal accomplishment.ConclusionCare homes and geriatric hospitals may want to consider calling more on religious resources as a support for staff and patients.

“…Demand has been conceptualized in quantitative and qualitative ways. Under the quantitative conceptualization of JDRM, greater amount of work (e.g., frequency of work and duration of being in a position) may result in more burnout (Bennett, Michie, & Kippax, 1991; Bria et al, 2012; Cooper et al, 2016). Under the qualitative conceptualization of JDRM and JCT, burnout depends on the type of experience volunteers have.…”

“…Extant literature has focused primarily on volunteers’ actual experiences and motives to volunteer (Demmer, 2004; Bria, Băban, & Dumitraşcu, 2012; Cooper et al, 2016; Khamisa, Peltzer, & Oldenburg, 2013; described in “Volunteering Factors and Burnout” below). Of which we are aware, no existing models have included factors associated with marginalized identities (e.g., ethnicity, gender nonconformity, sexual orientation).…”

Understanding factors associated with burnout among HIV/AIDS volunteers has long-ranging implications for community organizations and prevention. Using a cross-sectional sample of Latino gay/bisexual men and transgender people (N=309), we assess potential correlates of burnout identified by multiple theories, including factors associated with volunteering (experiences, motives) and contextual factors (stigma, sense of community). Reporting negative volunteering experiences was positively associated with burnout, while being motivated by personal HIV/AIDS experiences and having a greater sense of GLBT community was negatively related to burnout. The study highlights central challenges and opportunities to retain volunteers from marginalized communities.

“…13,21 Some authors believe that by not mitigating the effects of burnout on nursing home health-care aides, vulnerable older adults in residential care are at risk. 22 The literature includes numerous studies on interventions to prevent or decrease burnout in elder care nursing staff. 13,19 Some studies on training interventions address the importance of training in helping caregivers cope with the difficulties and challenges of caring for persons with dementia, [23][24][25][26] but others suggest that training is ineffective.…”

Aim As the number of persons with dementia has increased so has the need for both specialized care and long‐term care centres. Professional caregivers working in these centres encounter specific problems, including stress, burnout, and feelings of dissatisfaction, each which can affect the quality of care. Due to the nature of their work, they are more likely to experience stress, which may lead to burnout syndrome. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess the results of a practical training programme with regard to burnout among direct care professionals in a nursing home for people with dementia. Methods A practical training programme was conducted for caregivers at the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Nursing Home in Cuenca, Spain. The programme used a dynamic, interactive methodology to provide training related to concepts and strategies for dementia care. Weekly 2‐h sessions were held over 9 months, from April 2016 to January 2017, with the post‐test administered in February. Pretest and post‐test measures were taken for a sample of 36 caregivers. An anova was used to analyze the differences in means before and after training. An ancova was also performed to determine the effects of the intervention. Results The results revealed a significant difference between pre‐ and post‐intervention emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores. Personal accomplishment scores improved, but the changes were not significant. Conclusion A practical training programme for direct care professionals working with dementia patients can decrease burnout levels.
