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.

An Examination of the Stress Experiences International Students Face in American Universities| Chapter 3 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol.8

 The pressure sources and levels of global understudies learning at American colleges were explored corresponding to their group standing, orientation, and English language familiarity. The exploration results demonstrated that the main stressor for female understudies was "Worries about the future (graduation, business, marriage, etc.)". Though, the main stressor for guys was connected with "Scholarly weights (grades, troublesome classes, exorbitant schoolwork, etc.)." A massive distinction among guys and females was seen concerning an "Lacking direction program for rookies at the college". It was likewise found that male understudies had a higher normal than female understudies. With respect to "Insufficient direction program for rookies at the college," a reasonable distinction was seen among first year recruits and seniors. This finding showed that first year recruits had a far more noteworthy requirement for direction than seniors. It was found that the connection between feelings of anxiety and English language capability was at medium level, unfavorable and critical. It was found that the feeling of anxiety didn't fundamentally change concerning orientation. The feeling of anxiety of rookies was viewed as higher than senior and graduate understudies at a critical level. The outcomes were deciphered as far as predominant writing and Singles Counseling Theory. A few ideas were proposed to guiding focuses, worldwide workplaces, English preliminary projects and teachers of colleges.

American and South Korean Cultural Contexts: Present and Future Implications | Chapter 3 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 5

 In many ways, the cultural surroundings of South Korea and the United States are drastically dissimilar. The goal of this research is to look into the origins of these distinctions, as well as their consequences for today's societies and any future developments. Because of the different ideologies that each nation was established on, Korea has become a very high-context society, whereas the United States is a very low-context culture. While the results of the GLOBE Study for these countries confirm a lot of what we'd expect from low- and high-context civilizations, The findings suggest that South Koreans are willing to abandon some of their old methods in favour of a more equitable society, and that the two cultures' acceptance of comparable idealised cultural norms will lead to a gradual convergence of even such widely disparate civilizations.
