The influence of shift work on emotional exhaustion in firefighters

Abstract: Purpose – With the demand for continuous services increasing, organizations have relied more upon shift work to adapt to the needs of consumers However, relatively little research has adequately explored the effects of different types of shifts on emotional exhaustion, particularly as they relate to work‐family conflict and social support In this paper based on the conservation of resources (COR) model of stress, a mediated model where shifts that demand more resources related to the work‐family interface will be more likely to lead to emotional exhaustion is argued The paper aims to address this issueDesign/methodology/approach – A study of 168 fire service personnel from departments working on three different shift systems is conducted The participants complete survey measures of emotional exhaustion, work‐family conflict, support, and demographic controlsFindings – The paper suggests that more demanding shifts, those that lead to less time spent off the job in continuous blocks, are associated wi

A Log-Linear Analysis of Variables Associated With Self-Mutilation Behaviors of Women With Histories of Child Sexual Abuse

Abstract: This study was an exploratory analysis of variables differentiating child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors who self-mutilate from those who do not. Women with histories of CSA (N = 84) were placed into two groups based on the presence or absence of self-mutilating behavior. A log-linear logit analysis was conducted to compare participants on several psychological, demographic, family-of-origin, and abuse-related variables. The model that best fit the data indicated that self-mutilators were more likely to have experienced physical or physiological abuse in their families of origin and have a history of eating disorders and currently were more depressed and dissociated.

Quality of Study Rating Form: An Instrument for Synthesizing Evaluation Studies

Abstract: The Quality of Study Rating Form (QSRF) incorporates principles of meta-analysis to rate key features in an evaluation study. An Explanation for Criteria outlines the QSRF's sections regarding study quality, treatment effect size, and identification of treatment and client type. To measure QSRF's reliability, fieldwork methods students independently rated important features of evaluation studies and computed indices of study quality and treatment effect size. Evaluators, who review research, and eclectic practitioners, who weigh evidence regarding potentially useful treatments, may discover useful applications for QSRF.
