Perceived Academic Workload and Its Impact on Burnout among Architecture Students |Chapter 1 | Language, Literature and Education: Research Updates Vol. 5

Student burnout can be defined as a state of emotional exhaustion that students experience in the learning process, due to psychological pressure, academic workload, or other psychological factors, as well as a tendency towards personality breakdown and a feeling of decreased personal achievement. In architecture education, students may face different challenges related to workloads, practical training, and concerns about stress-induced fatigue. The research aims to study the relationship between academic workload and its role in student stress, fatigue, and burnout. A survey was conducted with 63 fourth-year students in the Department of Architecture at the College of Engineering at Al-Mustansiriya University. An academic workload scale was constructed based on previous studies, along with a modified burnout scale according to the nature of the architecture department. The research presents a discussion of the academic workload as an important factor that affects students and how they perceive the nature of the curriculum and cope with the psychological pressures generated from it in architectural education. It also defines burnout in architectural education. The data was statistically analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling with the Smart-PLS4 program and statistical analysis using SPSS v.28 for the study variables. The research confirms the complex nature of the concept of academic workload and highlights the need to distinguish between perceived quantitative (Actual time investment and curriculum design) and qualitative (teaching style, learning environment and personal traits) workload and their impact on students' burnout. The results identified the dimensions of academic workload that affected the levels of fatigue among architecture students. It showed that all dimensions of academic workload influence burnout, with teaching methods and learning environment having the most impact on burnout, followed by course management, and personal characteristics ranking last. The study recommends that the Department of Architecture periodically review students' academic workload, psychological well-being and introduce effective curriculum design to minimise burnout and enhance their learning outcomes.

Exploring Personality Types and Burnout among School Teachers: A Study in Rasht, Iran | Chapter 5 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 7

 The present study investigated the relationship between John Holland’s personality types (realist, investigative, conventional) with burnout among female and male teachers at first duration of high school (guidance school) and second duration of high school (secondary school). Burnout is emotional exhaustion which is a result of continuous reaction task to chronic emotion- al and interpersonal stress triggers that are defined by the help of three aspects, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of success (sense of incompetence).  For this purpose, 327 persons were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. In order to gather information, Meshach burnout questionnaire and John Holland’s job-personality questionnaire were used. This research is a kind of correlation that in this method, personality traits and (dependent) criterion variable of burnout will be predicted from (independent) predictor variable and method of gathering information is field type. Descriptive and inferential statistic methods were utilized to analyze the data. It was worth mentioning that Pearson correlation coefficient r, linear regression and the analysis of multivariable variance (MANOVA) were used to measure the relationship between predictor and criterion variables. Obtained results by the investigation of relations showed that there was a reversed relationship between personality types and the degree of burnout, with correlation coefficient of r = (–2.24), respectively, in the level of (p = 0/01). The relationship between realist, investigative and conventional personality types with burnout which was calculated by (r = –1.15, r = –1.84, r = –2.19) respectively, was significant and reversed. It was necessary to say that among demographic variables (gender, age, precedent, education and teacher’s marital status) there was just a significant relationship between gender, personality type and the degree of burnout in the level of (p = 0/05). It showed that from the view point of gender there was a significant difference between burnout. The degree of burnout in male teachers was more than female, and there were no significant differences in other demographic variables. The most important application of this study is that everybody will be employed according to his/her job-personality type to avoid any physical and mental damages arising from working. This study has determined that people who scored high in the personality constructs of extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness tend to have higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. In addition, individuals who scored high on the personality construct of neuroticism were shown to have a positive correlation with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.

Exploring Burnout Factors among General Surgeons in India: A Survey-Based Analysis | Chapter 9 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 The prevalence of burnout among healthcare providers has been on the rise in recent times. Despite numerous studies and surveys highlighting these elevated levels of burnout, none have specifically investigated its primary cause. To address this gap, researchers conducted an online survey targeting 800 general surgeons across India, gathering 221 unique and complete responses for analysis. 49.77% of the general surgeons indicated that insufficient work-life balance and high workload were the primary reasons for experiencing burnout. While many expressed dissatisfactions with compensation and medical infrastructure, they also expressed belief in having sufficient opportunities for learning and skill development in their field. Further research is warranted to explore burnout in other medical specialties.

How a 12-Hour Shift System Affects the Quality of Performance in Law Enforcement: A Critical Review | Chapter 1 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

The aim of this study is to review existing data sources to identify what we know about the prevalence of 12-hour shifts in nursing and the impact on both staff and administration personnel in the police. Police work is a 24/7 operation and the issue of police scheduling is of utmost importance in achieving appropriate service area coverage at all times on all days. Specifically, this study aims to address the following questions: What is the prevalence of 12-hour shifts in policing? How much internal variation in shift length is there in policing? What impact does shift length have on the quality of policing and staff experience? To simulate a 12-hour shift rotation and measure the difference in performance if any. This study has reviewed three data sources on 12-hour shifts to explore the potential impact of 12- hour. Significant reductions in neurobehavioural performance during shift work and particularly night work have long been recognised. A 2022 survey of SAPS (South African Police Service) members found that 70% of respondents said they were overworked and 60% of respondents said they were underpaid. There are conflicting reports of the effects of 12-hour shifts on performance, alertness, and safety. Furthermore, research suggests that older shift workers have more sleep disruption and maladaptation to shift work. When this is combined with longer hours at work there may be considerable reductions in performance for older compared with younger workers. Henceforth, 12-hour shifts aren't suitable for everyone or in all circumstances as heavy lifting and other physical labour may make a job unsuitable owing to the risk of ergonomic injuries and exhaustion.

Examining Burnout Experiences among Employees in Health Systems | Chapter 5 | An Overview on Business, Management and Economics Research Vol. 7

 Objective: Burnout is a prevalent issue in healthcare. However, investigations into experiences of burnout among mainly administrative health systems’ personnel have not been conducted. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate burnout experiences among health systems’ personnel in administrative positions who do not medically treat patients as part of their daily work.

Methodology: This is a mixed-methods study measuring burnout using an 18-question burnout scale and by conducting 23 semi-structured interviews. Mean responses and a correlation analysis of the survey results were conducted. Interview transcripts were coded using ATLAS.ti 22.

Findings: The quantitative results show low burnout scores. However, the interviews show that all administrative personnel had experienced burnout or stress, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, workload, and volatility drove burnout. Recognizing employees, promoting a strong work/life balance, and self-care practices may alleviate burnout.

Implications: Similar to nurses and physicians, administrative health systems’ personnel are susceptible to burnout. Therefore, health systems’ leaders should cultivate strategies to mitigate and prevent burnout among administrative personnel. Additionally, this study uses interviews to obtain a context for survey results, unlike previous studies. Leaders should recognize not only clinicians but also administrative employees for their work to alleviate burnout. Additionally, leaders should promote work/life balance, especially among remote workers and attempt to reduce workload to mitigate burnout.

Originality: This research is unique because it focuses on experiences of burnout among health systems’ employees who do not treat patients as part of their daily work. Previous studies have focused on mainly nurses and physicians. However, this study shows that non-patient-facing health systems’ employees can also suffer from burnout.

A Cross-sectional Study on Measurement of Experienced Burnout among Health Care Professionals in Saudi Hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Chapter 13 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 6

The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence and causes of burnout among health care professionals (HCPs) in four Saudi Arabian hospitals.

Burnout is a mental disease induced by the breakdown of coping mechanisms used to deal with work stress as a result of extended exposure to psychological elements. Employees, patients, and healthcare systems could all be affected by burnout. Since the 1980s, burnout has been connected to indices of personal distress, such as physical exhaustion, insomnia, a rise in marriage and family issues, and even an increase in the use of alcohol and other drugs.

The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey was used as the basis for our research (MBI-HSS). Emotional Execution (EE), Depersonalization (DP), Low Personal Accomplishment (PA), and Involvement are the four components of burnout assessed. For the medicine subgroup, the total score was determined using procedure 1 from the Maslach Burnout Inventory, 4th edition.

The study's key findings suggest that doctors and nurses are at the greatest risk of burnout, and that burnout is more common among those who work in emergency rooms and inpatient wards. Saudi and married physicians were more likely to describe emotional execution and poor involvement in their work, whereas young and inexperienced nurses were more likely to report emotional execution and low involvement in their work. In addition, the study revealed that doctors and men were unable to use adaptive stress-coping mechanisms.

Conclusion: The study stressed the relevance of work environment elements and suggested that in public hospitals, a lack of participation in work is a concerning predictor of burnout. With a coaching leadership style that includes instructional and emotional support, hospital management could consider reducing challenging responsibilities and increasing rewards.

Determination of Occupational Burnout among Private Dental Practioners in Bengaluru, India | Chapter 2 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 Introduction: Dentistry is a tremendously rewarding career, but it is also a very difficult one that requires a high level of concentration and precision. Because of the various causes of stress encountered throughout their professional careers, dentists appear to be prone to professional burnout, anxiety disorders, and clinical depression.

The goal of this study was to measure the amount of burnout and physical weariness among private dental practitioners.

Materials and Methods: In Bengaluru, a cross-sectional study was conducted on private dental practitioners. A questionnaire with 22 items from the Maslach Burnout Inventory as well as demographic information was given out. A likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 was used to calculate the response rates. The p value, cronbach's alpha for each question (>0.700 = high consistency), correlation coefficient, frequency, and variable comparison were all calculated.

The survey indicated that 11.3 percent of individuals had a significant level of burnout. Females in the age groups of 25 and 25-35 were also heavily influenced. General practitioners have a higher rate of burnout than specialists. Backache and headache accounted for 48 percent and 44.7 percent of physical tiredness, respectively, followed by neck pain at 34 percent and hand and wrist disorders at 23.7 percent, according to the study.

Conclusion: Dentists are vulnerable to interpersonal stress as health care providers due to the demanding nature of their jobs and close closeness to their patients. Burnout was found to be moderate to high in the study group, and it is suggested that dental professionals pay special attention to the danger of burnout.

Relationships of Work Environment and Burnout among Perioperative Nurses in Spain | Chapter 8 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 Background: Several international studies have found a connection between burnout and the working environment of nurses. However, there has been a scarcity of research on perioperative nurse burnout and the characteristics of their working conditions in Spain to date.

The aim of this study was to look into the impact of organizational variables in the perioperative nurse's work environment on the three dimensions of burnout: emotional fatigue, depersonalization, and personal achievement.

Methods: We used a self-report questionnaire to collect data on a socio-demographic, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index in a cross-sectional, quantitative, prospective sample with 130 surgical nurses in a tertiary hospital in Spain. Study: Organizational factors, explanatory variables, and burnout dimensions were studied using a univariate and bivariate analysis, followed by a multivariate regression to determine the influence of the NWI-PES factors on burnout.

The level of general burnout was moderate to strong, according to the findings. In this study, emotional exhaustion was recorded by 43% (56) of nurses, depersonalization by 21% (28), and a reduction in personal accomplice by 53%. (69). The job climate was deemed unfavorable since only one out of five factors were favorable (Nursing foundations of quality care). Three organizational variables were found to be correlated with all three dimensions of burnout in multiple regression analyses: "Nurse manager capacity, leadership, and encouragement of nurses," "Staffing and resources adequacy," and "Nursing foundations of quality care."

Conclusions: Burnout affects about one-third of perioperative nurses in each of the three burnout subscales, with Emotional Exhaustion being the most affected, accompanied by Depersonalization and Personal Accomplishment.

Three organizational factors were found to play a significant role in predicting burnout among perioperative nurses in this research. We advise hospital administrators to put measures in place to change these organizational factors. In addition to approaches in the workplace, which have a significant impact on burnout: Promoting positive leadership styles, providing adequate support, and fostering a positive work environment could improve perioperative nurses' psychosocial health and reduce burnout.

Assessment and Investigation of Burnout among Instructors Working at ESOGU Preparatory School | Chapter 1 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 6

 In workplaces where human contact is salient and very necessary, burnout is a problem to be taken seriously. The aim of the study is to investigate burnout among instructors working at the preparatory school of ESOGU and to find out what factors influence their burnout levels. The research included 28 teachers working at this institution. The results of the study showed that their perceived level of stress in the workplace was the only major contributor to burnout among the instructors. With the exception of that one, demographic profiles, educational history and other work-related variables appeared to have a small or no major influence on the burnout rate of instructors. Almost all decisions are taken in the sense of the present research, preparatory school, with the participation of all instructors and administration, and it can also be said that there is always a shared understanding among the parties mentioned above. Therefore, it can be claimed that, despite being exposed to the factors listed as the main causes of burnout in the literature, this collaboration can lead to negligible levels of burnout among these instructors.
