“…Regarding the role of resilience, our outcomes demonstrated a direct negative effect on burnout symptoms of staff, which confirmed earlier findings among nurses (Mealer et al . 2012) yet were in contrast with a recent study among staff supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities (Nevill and Havercamp 2019). In that study, it was found that resilience did not reduce the risk of developing burnout symptoms.…”

“…2012). To the best of our knowledge, the single study among staff that took resilience into account found that it did not predict burnout outcomes (Nevill and Havercamp 2019), and, so far, no study has examined the potentially protective role of resilience with respect to the association between exposure to challenging behaviours and burnout symptoms of staff supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities.…”

BackgroundStaff supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities are at risk of burnout symptoms. Evidence suggests an association between exposure to challenging behaviours of individuals with intellectual disabilities and burnout symptoms of staff, but the protective role of staff psychological resources in this relation has been understudied.MethodWe investigated the association between exposure to challenging behaviours and burnout symptoms of staff and the direct and moderating effects of several psychological resources. Staff (N = 1271) completed an online survey concerning burnout symptoms (subscale Emotional Exhaustion of the Maslach Burnout Inventory), exposure to challenging behaviours and a range of potential psychological resources. We examined main and moderating effects with multilevel analyses. In order to control for the multiple comparisons, P values corrected for false discovery rate (PFDR) were reported.ResultsWe found a direct relation between exposure to challenging behaviours and increased levels of burnout symptoms in staff (b = .15, t(670) = 4.466, PFDR < .0001). Perceived supervisor social support (b = −.97, t(627) = −7.562, PFDR < .0001), staff self‐efficacy (b = −.23, t(673) = −3.583, PFDR < .0001), resilience (b = −.19, t(668) = −2.086, PFDR < .05) and extraversion (b = −.20, t(674) = −3.514, PFDR < .05) were associated with reduced burnout symptoms. None of the proposed psychological resources moderated the association between exposure to challenging behaviours and burnout symptoms of staff.ConclusionsOf the psychological resources found to be associated with reduced risk of burnout symptoms, staff self‐efficacy and access of staff to supervisor social support seem to be the factors that can be influenced best. These factors thus may be of importance in reducing the risk of developing burnout symptoms and improving staff well‐being, even though the current study was not designed to demonstrate causal relations between psychological resources and burnout symptoms.

“…Due to a large number of references screened and reviewed, on the one hand, and the multiple methodological approaches implemented in this review on the other hand, several studies were published during or after compiling this review. When checking databases for new publications up to November 2020, thirteen eligible studies were identified, and four new predictors in addition to the 261 predictors that we reviewed [89][90][91][92]. Due to time and resource constraints, these studies were not reviewed.…”

We aimed to review occupational burnout predictors, considering their type, effect size and role (protective versus harmful), and the overall evidence of their importance. MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase were searched from January 1990 to August 2018 for longitudinal studies examining any predictor of occupational burnout among workers. We arranged predictors in four families and 13 subfamilies of homogenous constructs. The plots of z-scores per predictor type enabled graphical discrimination of the effects. The vote-counting and binomial test enabled discrimination of the effect direction. The size of the effect was estimated using Cohen’s formula. The risk of bias and the overall evidence were assessed using the MEVORECH and GRADE methods, respectively. Eighty-five studies examining 261 predictors were included. We found a moderate quality of evidence for the harmful effects of the job demands subfamily (six predictors), and negative job attitudes, with effect sizes from small to medium. We also found a moderate quality of evidence for the protective effect of adaptive coping (small effect sizes) and leisure (small to medium effect sizes). Preventive interventions for occupational burnout might benefit from intervening on the established predictors regarding reducing job demands and negative job attitudes and promoting adaptive coping and leisure.

“…Caring for individuals with intellectual disability who present with co-morbid psychiatric disorders and problem behaviours, particularly aggression, may be associated with caregiver burnout, poor job satisfaction and poor retention of staff (Dawson et al 2016). Nevill & Havercamp (2019) completed sequential interviews with direct support caregivers, which revealed that aspects of mindfulness and problem-focused coping may help to promote a more stable workforce to support adults with developmental disabilities with complex needs.…”
