Abstract
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of an occupational stress training package with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on job burnout of Tam Kar employees.
Material and methods: The research method was a three-stage, three-group semiexperimental design. To this end, the statistical population including all the employees who worked in the technical departments of Tam Kar Company in Isfahan and in terms of the level of stress in middle and higher levels, using purposive sampling, 60 employees were selected and randomly divided into three groups (20 for each group). Geldard (1989) burnout inventory (GBI) was used for data collection. Experimental group 1 received eight 90-min sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy training, and experimental group 2 received job stress coping training in ten 90-min sessions. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used to analyze the data with the help of a statistical software package in social sciences (SPSS) version 22.
Results: The results showed that coping with job stress training and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy were equally effective in reducing the employees' burnout (P ≤ 0.05) and this effect continued at follow-up.
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of burnout and psychopathologic symptoms among industry staff, coping with job stress training and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy training can be suggested to reduce burnout syndrome in the industry.
