“…These findings support our contention that depersonalization has a different meaning for men than for women. As Lemkau, Rafferty, Purdy, and Rudisill (1987) suggested, depersonalization among men may reflect a more task-oriented self-concept. Therefore, men may be, more often than women, inclined to respond to patients in a nonpersonal, objective way, independent of the degree of stress experienced, and it may not occur to them to resort to depersonalization as a coping sfrategy.…”

“…Therefore, men may be, more often than women, inclined to respond to patients in a nonpersonal, objective way, independent of the degree of stress experienced, and it may not occur to them to resort to depersonalization as a coping sfrategy. In contrast, among women a depersonalizing style may serve as a coping mechanism (Lemkau et al, 1987). Because this way of responding to people strains the female self-concept, it may result in reduced personal accomplishment.…”

In the present study, burnout symptoms (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) were hypothesized to occur among male and female nurses who are low in communal orientation and feel they invest more in their relationships with patients than they receive in return. Communal orientation refers to the desire to give and receive benefits in response to the needs of and out of concern for others. Furthermore, it was expected that the perception of imbalance would be more strongly related to depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment among women than among men. The sample consisted of 194 full time working nurses (48.5% males, 51.5% females). Burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The results show that the burnout syndrome is more widespread among: (a) subjects, particularly women, who perceive an imbalance in their relationships with patients; (b) subjects low in communal orientation; and (c) subjects who both perceive an imbalance and are low in communal orientation. The results are discussed in the context of theoretical and practical implications.

In this study, a distinction was made between tenure in the job in general and tenure within the same department.…”

One of the leading models on antecedents of subjective well-being and stress at work is the job Demand-Control-Support model. Be it to a lesser extent, this model has also been applied to the study of burnout. In this study we tried to extend this model with work-home interference, which can be considered an additional stressor. 2075 Belgian nurses divided over 14 hospitals participated in this study. The results of hierarchical regression analyses showed a strong additional effect of work-home interference on each of the three dimensions of burnout, after controlling for the dimensions of the job Demand-ControlSupport model. However, mediational analyses showed that the effect of workhome interference on depersonalization was partly mediated by emotional exhaustion and that the effect on personal accomplishment was partly mediated by emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.

This study examines sex differences in level and sources of experienced stress, as well as in antecedents and consequences of stress, in physicians. Two hundred and twenty‐eight female and 1859 male physicians completed questionnaires anonymously. Female and male physicians reported similar levels of overall stress and similar sources of stress. There was an indication that economic concerns were more important for male physicians. Female physicians practised medicine for a shorter period of time and earned less income. Male physicians worked more hours per week, had more patients and fewer days off. However, female physicians generally had more negative attitudes about health care and were less satisfied with the practice of medicine.
