TL;DR: The aim of the study is to assess the differences in the professional quality of life between nurses, midwives and doctors.
Abstract: Aim The aim of the study is to assess the differences in the professional quality of life between nurses, midwives and doctors. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods A total of 297 participants were surveyed: 165 nurses, 101 doctors and 31 midwives. We used ProQol questionnaire with three subscales (compassion satisfaction -CS, burnout- B, compassion fatigue-CF and own questionnaire (social-demographics data). Results Burnout and CF were average in a group of nurse and midwives, low in group of doctors. In group of nurses, a relationship was observed between compassion satisfaction and: job seniority (p < .01), basic place of work (p < .01), self-assessment of work situation (p < .01), as well as between burnout and: job seniority (p < .05), form of employment (p = .03), basic place of work (p = .002), self-assessment of work situation (p < .01). In group of midwives was only the relationship between the self-assessment of work situation and: CS (p < .01) and burnout (p < .01) were shown.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between job related role stressors and three components of burnout, among professional truck drivers who are based in the Netherlands, and they were surveyed with a time-lagged design (interval of two months).
Abstract: Professional truck drivers are prone to both physical and psychological stress. Such stress can lead to burnout. Drawing on Job Demands Resources literature and stress research, we investigate the relationship between job related role stressors and three components of burnout, among professional truck drivers who are based in the Netherlands. They were surveyed with a time-lagged design (interval of two months). In the first wave, the different potential causes of burnout were measured (role conflict, role ambiguity, quality of sleep, and the perceived emotional intelligence of the dispatcher). In the second wave, the three elements of burnout were measured: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. The results of our study indicate that role conflict relates positively to all three components of a burnout. The emotional intelligence of the dispatcher—as perceived by the truck drivers—was negatively related with the three components of a burnout. Finally, the quality of sleep had an impact on depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. Theoretically, several job specific role stressors are confirmed to play a role in truck driver burnout. However, the top three role stressors all appeared to be related to the trucking industry, instead of a particular employer, and they may therefore require national policy measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between the cultural intelligence (CQ) of cabin crew members and the level of job burnout which they experienced, and found that the negative effect of CQ on burnout was particularly strong for cabin crew with greater job tenure than those with lower job tenure.
Abstract: The job of cabin crew is considered to be a highly stressful job. In particular, cabin crew members who must deal with foreign passengers and a team of foreign coworkers are more prone to develop job burnout from their cross-cultural encounters. Therefore, having cross-cultural competence, which can help them to deal effectively with such situations, is crucial to preventing the problem of burnout. Cultural intelligence (CQ) was proposed in this research as a cross-cultural competence, essential for cabin crew members. The objective of the research was to examine the relationship between the CQ of the cabin crew members and the level of job burnout which they experience. Survey data were collected from a sample of 320 Thai cabin crew members, from seven non-Thai national airlines. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results supported the negative relationship between the CQ of cabin crew members and their job burnout. The moderating effect analysis also showed that the negative effect of CQ on burnout was particularly strong for cabin crew members with greater job tenure than those with lower job tenure. The results not only provide additional insight regarding the contribution of CQ to employee wellbeing in the airline industry, but also suggest some moderating conditions that could make CQ particularly essential for cabin crew members. Lastly, this research also provides recommendations for airline companies regarding interventions to prevent the psychological stress of their cabin crew.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 psychiatric nurses in Turkey to determine the relationship between professional quality of life and psychological resilience in psychiatric nurses and found that there was a correlation between CS and burnout, CS and resilience, and in burnout and compassion fatigue.
Abstract: Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between professional quality of life and psychological resilience in psychiatric nurses in Turkey. Design and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 psychiatric nurses in Turkey. Data were collected using the Professional Quality of Life Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Findings Correlations were observed between compassion satisfaction (CS) and burnout, CS and resilience, and in burnout and compassion fatigue (CF). Implications for practice Actions to improve resilience, prevent burnout, and reduce CF should be implemented.
