Study of the Relationship Between Self-Efficacy, General Health and Burnout Among Iranian Health Workers

Moreover, studies have demonstrated a relationship between burnout and general health [13–15].…”

Investigation and Study on Job Burnout of Psychological Counselor

“…Psychological counselors should distinguish the role differences between work and life, correctly understand the relationship between the two, and reasonably deal with them [12].
