背景：认知功能和职业倦怠之间可能存在关联，但之前只有几项研究对此进行了研究，所有研究都使用了临床样本。目的：本研究旨在研究认知功能与职业倦怠症状以及社会和职业功能之间的关系。方法：对225名22-35岁的在职青年进行神经心理学测验，包括言语和视觉短期记忆、言语长期记忆、一般智力、注意力、精神运动加工速度和执行功能。采用Maslach职业倦怠调查问卷(MBI-GS)和考官评定的社会与职业功能评定量表(SOFA)测量职业倦怠。结果：MBI-GS得分越高，在言语工作记忆和一般智力测试中的表现越好。沙发越低，在评估语言注意力、记忆力和学习能力的测试中表现越差。结论：在具有代表性的年轻人人群样本中，自我报告的倦怠症状与认知功能障碍无关。然而，考官对社交和职业功能的评价较低与言语注意力、记忆力和学习方面的问题有关，这表明评估和提高社交和职业功能有困难的人的认知功能的重要性。
Background: There may be an association between cognitive functioning and burnout, but this has previously been investigated in only few studies, all using clinical samples. Aims: This study aimed at examining the relationship of cognitive functioning with burnout symptoms and social and occupational functioning in a population-based sample of young adults. Methods: Neuropsychological tests assessing verbal and visual short-term memory, verbal long-term memory, general intelligence, attention, psychomotor processing speed and executive functioning were administered to a population-based sample of working young adults aged 22-35 years (n=225). Burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout Survey-General Survey (MBI-GS) and social and occupational functioning with examiner-rated Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS). Results: Higher scores in the MBI-GS related to better performance in tests of verbal working memory and general intelligence. Lower SOFAS associated with poorer performance in tests assessing verbal attention, memory and learning. Conclusions: In a representative population sample of young adults, self-reported symptoms of burnout are not associated with difficulties in cognitive functioning. However, examiner-rated lower social and occupational functioning is related to problems in verbal attention, memory and learning, suggesting the importance of evaluating and enhancing cognitive functioning among those with difficulties in social and occupational functioning.
