Abstract

Introduction/trial design: We report a cross-sectional study pursuing the sources of information that lead individuals to judge that they had burnout.

Methods: An online survey in 2023 involved 903 Australians who judged they had burnout. Participants nominated their key symptoms, consulted sources, and completed the Sydney Burnout Measure (SBM) and the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT).

Results: Participants' own knowledge and awareness were the most nominated sources, while only 29.5% of sufferers received a diagnosis from a health professional. Those who consulted a health professional returned higher SBM and BAT scores and rates of physical symptoms, sleep changes and loss of executive function, suggesting greater syndrome severity. Participants nominated more symptoms than the three currently thought to define a burnout syndrome, but none were universally nominated.

Conclusions: Study findings challenge the dominant triadic model of burnout and assist in understanding why a clinical diagnosis of burnout is complex.

倦怠是如何自我识别的？

引言/试验设计：我们报告了一项横断面研究，旨在寻找导致个体判断自己倦怠的信息来源。方法：2023年的一项在线调查涉及903名澳大利亚人，他们认为自己已经精疲力竭。参与者提名他们的主要症状，咨询来源，并完成悉尼倦怠量表（SBM）和倦怠评估工具（BAT）。结果：参与者自己的知识和意识是最被提名的来源，而只有29.5%的患者从健康专业人员那里得到了诊断。那些咨询过健康专家的人，他们的SBM和BAT得分更高，身体症状、睡眠改变和执行功能丧失的比例也更高，这表明综合症的严重程度更高。参与者提出的症状比目前认为定义倦怠综合征的三种症状更多，但没有一种得到普遍提名。结论：研究结果挑战了主导的倦怠三合一模型，并有助于理解为什么倦怠的临床诊断是复杂的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
