“…The majority of studies assessed burnout using the MBI. Among those that used the MBI, burnout scores were variously reported as (1) percentage of participants with high burnout on each subscale [58, 72, 81, 87, 99, 106, 116], (2) percentage of participants with high burnout on each subscale and total score [55, 66, 101] (3) percentage of participants with high total burnout [91, 105], (4) percentage of participants with high burnout on emotional exhaustion subscale only [71], (5) total and individual burnout as a continuous scores [59], (6) total burnout as continuous score [69, 78, 110], (7) individual burnout as continuous score [60, 64, 70, 73, 75, 76, 82, 88, 90, 104, 108, 109, 112, 115, 117], or (8) both individual burnout as continuous sores and percentages of participants with high burnout [56, 57, 61, 77, 96]. Furthermore, included studies used four different versions of the MBI to assess burnout including the MBI, MBI-HSS, Abbreviated MBI, and MBI-GS.…”

Background Burnout is characterized by physical and emotional exhaustion from long-term exposure to emotionally demanding work. Burnout affects interpersonal skills, job performance, career satisfaction, and psychological health. However, little is known about the burden of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods Relevant articles were identified through a systematic review of PubMed, Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), and PsycINFO (EBSCO). Studies were selected for inclusion if they examined a quantitative measure of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa. Results A total of 65 articles met our inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Previous studies have examined burnout in sub-Saharan Africa among physicians (N = 12 articles), nurses (N = 26), combined populations of healthcare providers (N = 18), midwives (N = 2), and medical or nursing students (N = 7). The majority of studies assessed burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The highest levels of burnout were reported among nurses, although all healthcare providers showed high burnout. Burnout among healthcare providers is associated with their work environments, interpersonal and professional conflicts, emotional distress, and low social support. Conclusions Available studies on this topic are limited by several methodological challenges. More rigorously designed epidemiologic studies of burnout among healthcare providers are warranted. Health infrastructure improvements will eventually be essential, though difficult to achieve, in under-resourced settings. Programs aimed at raising awareness and coping with burnout symptoms through stress management and resilience enhancement trainings are also needed.

“…Department of Labor, 2017). Occupational well-being is described as engagement with an occupation that challenges individuals to perform at their highest abilities, engage deeply in their work, evolve in their skills and knowledge, and experience a sense of belonging and social connection with others (Buitendach & Moola, 2011; Saaranen, Tossavainen, Turunen, & Vertio, 2006; Wilcock, 2007). Occupational well-being plays a fundamental role in the overall well-being of individuals.…”

“…The ways in which individuals describe and experience occupational well-being, similar to overall well-being, are dependent on several factors, including culture, social identities, and the type of occupation (Buitendach & Moola, 2011; Keifer, 2008; Saaranen et al, 2006). Keifer (2008) also added trauma as a significant predictor of the ways of which individuals define and experience overall well-being.…”

Purpose: While researchers have established that sexual assault may adversely affect successful employment and academic achievement, little is known about the barriers and facilitators of occupational well-being from the perspective of sexual assault survivors. This study assessed the barriers and facilitators of occupational well-being. Design: Constructivist grounded theory. Method: Digitally recorded, semistructured interviews were used to collect data. Data were collected from 22 adult female sexual assault survivors. Analysis consisted of coding, creation of data matrices, and within and across case analysis. Findings: Theoretical saturation was achieved after interviews with 22 participants. Barriers to occupational well-being were mental health symptoms and diagnoses, substance abuse, inflexible attendance policies, and workplace bullying. Facilitators to occupational well-being were personal coping strategies, and organizational and social support. Conclusions: Sexual assault has significant effects on the occupational well-being of women. The work or academic environment can exacerbate the harms of sexual assault or facilitate healing in sexual assault survivors. To facilitate the occupational well-being of sexual assault survivors, workplaces and academic institutions can adopt a trauma-informed approach, create policies that allow for time off to deal with sequela of sexual assault, implement anti-bullying programs, and make resources for gendered violence available.
