TL;DR: The results indicate that negative life change events may promote burnout or aggravate it but positive events will buffer its impact.
Abstract: A sample of 54 males and 134 females, most of whom were in direct service positions of a counseling and social work nature, was given a battery of instruments, including a measure for burnout (an occupational form of excessive stress), life events, and items concerning satisfaction with work and life in general. The results indicate that negative life change events may promote burnout or aggravate it but positive events will buffer its impact. The outcome implies that reducing negative factors on the job is important but promoting positive events also plays a vital role in reducing the likelihood of its occurrence.

TL;DR: It is concluded that hypothetical staff burnout can be measured and postulate that these values can be used to quantitate the outcome of anti‐burnout programs.
Abstract: . Lewiston, N., Conley, J. and Blessing-Moore, J. (Children's Hospital at Stanford, Palo Alto, California) Measurement of hypothetical burnout in cystic fibrosis caregivers. Acta Paediatr Scand, 70: 935, 1981.-Three hypothetical phases of staff burnout were measured in a population of cystic fibrosis caregivers and a control population from other areas of specialty pediatrics. The cystic fibrosis caregivers displayed a higher level of emotional exhaustion, lower level of patient depersonalization, and an equal sense of personal accomplishment from the job compared to the controls. We conclude that hypothetical staff burnout can be measured and postulate that these values can be used to quantitate the outcome of anti-burnout programs.

TL;DR: The authors found that the average nurse extended her work breaks each week without authorization by over 25 minutes, and that nursing personnel most likely to lapse over into unauthorized break time (a) scored reliably higher on a dishonesty test measuring attitudes, values, and perceptions toward theft and (b) had significantly higher scores on a burnout scale than nurses who strictly adhered to their work break schedules.
Abstract: Based on anonymous survey responses from 31 nurses, results showed that the average nurse extended her work breaks each week without authorization by over 25 minutes. Moreover, nursing personnel most likely to lapse over into unauthorized break time (a) scored reliably higher on a dishonesty test measuring attitudes, values, and perceptions toward theft and (b) had significantly higher scores on a burnout scale than nurses who strictly adhered to their work break schedules. Implications of these findings are discussed.

TL;DR: The reports that are reviewed here will help nurse administrators recognize the signs of burnout in their staff and suggest some improvements that may alleviate the problem.
Abstract: A review of the literature has uncovered some initial research on the possible causes and manifestations of burnout among nurses and other helping professionals. Essential causal factors have not yet been identified. However, burnout appears to result from the interaction of personal and structural components, and the significance of each component varies greatly. There is a need for more systematic information about the natural history of burnout in specific work situations. Nurse administrators are urged to be alert for sings of burnout among their nursing personnel, to encourage systematic research that will provide objective evidence of the problem, and, especially, to be creative and daring in their efforts to combat the problem.
