“…12 However, it is noteworthy that, in a study developed in Cameroon , to identify the determinants of burnout in nurses, the average age of the professionals was 29.75 years and the age range ranged from 20 to 55 years. 13 Regarding the marital status and number of children of the participants, this study differed from the results found in a cross-sectional study on the prevalence and predictors of burnout syndrome in intensive care nurses, in which 62.6% 71.4% reported having no children. 14 It is noteworthy that, for some researchers, having children is considered a reason for professional balance, which enables better coping strategies for conflicting situations and occupational stressors.…”

Objective: to evaluate the risk of Burnout Syndrome in nurses working in mental health. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study with 23 nurses who work in a psychiatric hospital and in Psychosocial Care Centers. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory instrument. Pearson's chi-square test was used to associate the variables. Results were presented in tables and figures. Results: it was found that 60.9% of professionals had low emotional exhaustion; 65.2%, low depersonalization and 47.8%, high professional achievement. It is noteworthy that, although professionals do not have Burnout Syndrome, 47.8% demonstrated a high risk for its development. Conclusion: it was evidenced that mental health nurses had a high risk for Burnout Syndrome and showed significant associations with some predictors and symptoms of this condition. RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar o risco de Síndrome de Burnout em enfermeiros que atuam na saúde mental. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal e analítico, com 23 enfermeiros que atuam em um hospital psiquiátrico e em Centros de Atenção Psicossociais. Coletaram-se os dados por meio de um questionário validado e do instrumento Maslach Burnout Inventory. Utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson para se associar as variáveis. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de tabelas e figura. Resultados: constatou-se que 60,9% dos profissionais apresentaram baixa exaustão emocional; 65,2%, baixa despersonalização e 47,8%, alta realização profissional. Destaca-se que, apesar de os profissionais não apresentarem a Síndrome de Burnout, 47,8% demonstraram um alto risco para o seu desenvolvimento. Conclusão: evidenciou-se que os enfermeiros da saúde mental apresentaram um elevado risco para a Síndrome de Burnout e demonstraram associações significativas a alguns fatores preditores e sintomas desse agravo.

“…Of the 26 articles, a total of 20 studies used the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), MBI-HSS, MBI, or the MBI emotional exhaustion subscale to measure burnout. Two studies used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory [74, 85], one study used the burnout subscale of the ProQOL [83], and one study used first-hand coding by an observer according to the Exhaustion-Disengagement Model [84], which uses job demand and resources to identify exhaustion and disengagement. One study used the Executive Burnout Scale, which was developed in Nigeria as a culturally-sensitive tool to measure burnout [68, 95].…”

Systematic review of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa

et al. 2019

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.

“…The broad social epidemiological patterns indicate that pre-health care students experience more depressive symptoms (McLuckie et al, 2018;Rotenstein et al, 2016) and higher levels of burnout than their counterparts in other disciplines (Fang et al, 2012;Rodriguez Zivic et al, 2013) even before they commence health care studies. This is often a combination of rigorous academic commitments (Read et al, 2017;Cusimano et al, 2018;Queen and Hess, 2018), intensive preparations for competitive entrance examinations (Schubert, 2016;Mbanga et al, 2018), and time-consuming extracurricular activities (Dumbili and Williams, 2016;Cheney et al, 2017). As these students commence health care studies, some are unable to sustain their college lifestyle due to the burgeoning rigor of health care studies (Hallin et al, 2015;Tomassini et al, 2016;Sahoo and Mohammed, 2018).…”

Stimulating Intrinsic Motivation in Millennial Students: A New Generation, a New Approach

There has been a fundamental change in health care pedagogy to address the demands and challenges posed by the present generation of millennial students. There is also a growing recognition of the role of intrinsic motivation as a catalyst in a positive learning experience. The term intrinsic motivation refers to energizing behavior that comes from within an individual and develops due to an inherent interest in the activity at hand. However, stimulating intrinsic motivation in the present generation of millennial health care students is a daunting task, considering their diverse and disparate nature. In addition, the inherent generational differences between educators and students, and an increasing emphasis on technological tools have resulted in a dichotomy in the educational environment leading to the development of a greater incidence of burnouts among students. Hence, numerous innovative techniques have been introduced in health care education to enhance the levels of intrinsic motivation in these students. Unfortunately, most of these approaches have only been moderately successful due to their limited ability to address the unique educational expectations of millennial students. The cumulative evidence suggests that specific approaches to stimulate intrinsic motivation should aim at nurturing the learning efforts of students, bridging the generational barriers between educators and students, and ameliorating the stress associated with health care education. Hence, the specific aim of this narrative review is to suggest empirically proven curricular strategies and institutional reforms to enhance intrinsic motivation in health care students belonging to the Millennial Generation.
