“…Continuous work strain leads to emotional exhaustion, physical fatigue and cognitive weariness, which is attributed to burnout symptoms (2,3). The impact of occupational stress on physicians and other social professions has been investigated in a large amount of surveys (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies relating to the management of patients with burnout syndrome in primary care.…”

“…Rates in some of the other German states, such as Berlin (2011: 5.8%) [11] or Saxony-Anhalt (2013: 6.4%) [7], are even higher. Actually, German teachers have a better physical health status and show more beneficial behavioral patterns in comparison to the general population [4,8]. However, several analyses have also revealed variances for subgroups of the profession in health-related components, e.g., for principals and teacher [12], part-and fulltime employed teachers [13], sick and healthy teachers [14] or teachers of different school types [10].…”

“…Since the legal implementation of financial deductions in the same year, early retirement rates have been declining and are currently at 13%. However, chronic illnesses and long-term sick leave are conversely rising especially in the eastern region of Germany [7,8]. Long-term sickness leave is defined as not being able to work for at least 42 days a year due to health problems.…”

Objectives: Limited research on the health situation of teachers on long-term sick leave is available. The aim of this study has been to describe the health status of female teachers on long-term sick leave (LSFT) in comparison to working female teachers (WFT) and to determine predictors for their state of mental health (MH) and cardiovascular fitness (CF). Material and Methods: Twenty-eight LSFT and 300 WFT (average age: 53±5 years old) participated in a screening diagnostic inventory. Mental health, CF, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), health behavior (smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity) and disease burden (DB -number of medical diagnoses) were analyzed for the purpose of characterization of the health status. The multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for the state of MH and CF. Results: Adverse values for the MH but also for CF, BFM and the DB (median of medical diagnoses: LSFT: 5; WFT: 2) among the LSFT in comparison to the WFT were confirmed. Additionally, the part of smokers among LSFT (25%) was higher (WFT: 8%). In contrast, the WFT (61%) were much more affected by an elevated BP (LSFT: 26%). Disease burden proved as the strongest predictor for MH of the female teachers. Age, BMI and DB proved as predictors for CF. Conclusions: Health-related differences between long-term sick leave and working teachers were particularized and a link between physical and mental health among teachers was quantified. Therefore, health-related concepts for teachers should equally focus on physical and psychological aspects. The relevance of regular well-structured occupational health check-ups should be brought to the attention of the profession to prevent diseases and early retirements. Funding: the data of the sample was collected as part of the project "In teaching profession healthy and motivated until retirement -ways of preventing and personnel development" ("Im Lehrerberuf gesund und motiviert bis zur Rente -Wege der Prävention und Personalentwicklung"), project manager: Reingard Seibt, D.Sc. The project was funded by the German Statutory Accident Insurance (Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung -DGVU) within the series "My next occupation -personnel development for occupations with limited duration of work" ("Mein nächster Beruf -Personalentwicklung für Berufe mit begrenzter Tätigkeitsdauer") (code FP 314).

“…Las enfermedades mentales y psicosomáticas son más frecuentes en los maestros que en otros profesionales y presentan un mayor número de malestares como agotamiento, fatiga, dolor de cabeza y tensión cuyo origen de estos padecimientos es muy inespecífico (Scheuch, Eva y Seibt, 2015).…”

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la prevalencia y comorbilidad entre síndrome de burnout, la depresión y la ansiedad, si se manifiestan por separado el uno del otro o están estrechamente entrelazados de forma que refleje el mismo fenómeno. Se realizó un estudio transversal que incluye 459 (61 por ciento mujeres) maestros. El burnout se evaluó con el Maslach Burnout Inventory para educadores. La depresión y la ansiedad se evaluó con los Inventarios de Beck de Depresión y Ansiedad. Las tasas de prevalencia del burnout (20.8 por ciento), depresión (10.6 por ciento) y ansiedad (30.9 por ciento) son altas. La comorbilidad entre ellos es de 19.7 por ciento. Los maestros con burnout presentan incremento en depresión y ansiedad. Además, el agotamiento emocional fue significativamente asociado con la ansiedad y la depresión más que con la despersonalización o realización personal.Palabras clave: Profesores, síndrome de Burnout, ansiedad y depresión. Abstract Comorbidity between burnout syndrome, depression and anxiety in a Elementary School teachers sample, State of MexicoThe aim of this research was to examine the prevalence and comorbidity between burnout syndrome, depressive and anxiety, whether manifest themselves separately from each other or are so closely intertwined as to reflect the same phenomenon. A cross-sectional study involving 459 (61 por ciento female) Mexican schoolteachers was conducted. Burnout syndrome was assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators. Depression and anxiety was assessed with the Inventories Beck Depression and Anxiety. Prevalence rates of burnout (20.8 por ciento), depression (10.6 por ciento) and anxiety (30.9 por ciento) are high. Comorbidity among them is 19.7 por ciento. Teachers with increasing burnout experienced increases in depression or anxiety. In addition, emotional exhaustion was significantly associated with anxiety and depression than with depersonalization or personal accomplishment. Our results are consistent with findings showing qualitative and quantitative symptom overlap of exhaustion, depression and anxiety.
