TL;DR: It is suggested that working in the community may be more stressful than working in in-patient services, however, there was no evidence to suggest that levels of stress are increasing over time, either in community-based or hospital-based staff.
Abstract: Background: This study examines whether the adoption of a more community based model in an inner city psychiatry service is accompanied by increasing "burnout", deteriorating mental health and decreasing job satisfaction amongst staff. Method. Questionnaires were sent annually for 3 consecutive years to all mental health staff working in three adult mental health sectors in inner London. Main outcome measures were the 12-item General Health Questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory and a general job satisfaction measure. Results: There was no significant change over time in the outcome measures, once confounding by job and demographic variables was examined. Being based in the community was associated with higher GHQ-12 scores (P = 0.02) when compared to in-patient staff over the 3 years. Conclusions: These results suggested that working in the community may be more stressful than working in in-patient services. However, there was no evidence to suggest that levels of stress are increasing over time, either in community-based or hospital-based staff.

TL;DR: A qualitative interview study was carried out, exploring mental health staff's views of their work and of its effects on them, finding that for most professionals, contact with colleagues was one of the major rewards of the job.
Abstract: Background: High levels of burnout and poor psychological well-being, but also relatively high levels of job satisfaction, have been found among mental health staff, especially those based in community settings Aims: In order to investigate the basis of these findings, a qualitative interview study was carried out, exploring mental health staffs views of their work and of its effects on them Method: A semi-structured interview was administered to a purposive sample of 30 professionals, including junior and senior members of each profession in both hospital and community settings Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using QSR NUDIST software Results: For most professionals, contact with colleagues was one of the major rewards of the job There was surprisingly little evidence of conflict or diffculties defining roles between disciplines, except for the social workers, for whom difficulty in defining roles in relation to other professions was a major preoccupation Reported stresses differed between community and hospital staff Community staff tended to find their contacts with patients highly rewarding, but also to feel burdened by a strong and uncomfortable sense of being constantly responsible for their clients' well-being and actions Ward staff, on the other hand, identified as central difficulties in their job lack of autonomy, responsibility and scope for developing an independent therapeutic role They felt demoralised by revolving door' patients and by violence and the need to restrain patients
