Maslach Burnout Inventory Manual

Violence in relation to mental illness is largely perceived by professionals and society as one perpetrated by people with mental illness. Mentally ill people do experience violence themselves from a variety of sources that may range from fellow service users to the general public to even the professionals in whom they may invest trust to care for them. However, the impact such violence may have on their lives is rarely subject to the same rigour that has been shown while investigating the factors that may predict violence by people with mental illness. This study attempted to elicit the experiences of six existing service users of mental health services at the Maudsley Hospital by running a focus group. These service users had experienced violence as perpetrators, victims or witnesses within the mental health service. Grounded theory approach was used to analyse the transcript, which identified 21 categories and six themes: (i) 'imbalance of power (exists in the mental health system), (ii) violence has p...

Stresses experienced by psychiatrists and their role in burnout: a national follow-up study.

Objective: General adult psychiatrists are required to assess risk of violence as frequently as forensic psychiatrists. Yet most of the literature on risk assessment has originated from forensic settings, has been written by forensic psychiatrists, is applicable to forensic patients but may not apply to general psychiatric settings. Because the patient population and the nature of risk assessed may differ between the two settings, there is a need to consider the relevance of systems of assessment of risk of violence specific to the context of general adult psychiatry.Methods: We searched the literature on the way risk has been conceptualized in different disciplines using Medline database from 1993 to 2003. Keywords used were violence and risk management and risk assessment. Additional papers were identified from cross-references and personal knowledge of authors.Results: Seven hundred and nine key papers were identified. We identified three common key concepts that define risk: Uncertainty, weighing up t...

Application of risk assessment for violence methods to general adult psychiatry: a selective literature review

Objective: We aimed to elucidate causative and protective factors associated with burnout in New Zealand psychiatrists, to identify signs and symptoms of the burnout syndrome, and to identify any difference in the perspectives of psychiatrists who scored high versus low on the emotional exhaustion (EE) subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).Method: Twelve participants were randomly selected, six from each group of psychiatrists (high versus low EE). A face-to-face interview based on a semi-structured questionnaire was carried out with each participant. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcriptions were manually analysed by two independent reviewers using a grounded theory approach for qualitative analysis.Results: Major features of burnout were changes in appearance, behaviour and mood. Causes of burnout identified were external, internal and interpersonal factors, and changing work environment. Protective factors associated with burnout included supportive relationshi...
