对“倦怠”的定义、现象学特征及其与抑郁症和其他临床症状的关系进行了综述。工作是让生活变得体面和有意义的不可或缺的方式,但由于各种原因,工作也可能是压力的来源。对工作控制不力、希望和期望受挫以及生活失去意义的感觉似乎是职业倦怠的独立原因,这个术语描述的是一种职业枯竭状态。它不是“工作压力”、“疲劳”、“疏远”或“抑郁”的同义词。职业倦怠比人们通常认为的更为普遍,可能会影响个人功能的方方面面,对人际关系和家庭关系产生有害影响,并导致对生活的总体负面态度。经验研究表明,职业倦怠和抑郁是两个独立的实体,尽管它们可能有几个“质”特征,特别是在更严重的职业倦怠形式中,以及在脆弱的个人中,他们从日常工作中获得的满意度较低。这些最后的问题需要进一步澄清,应该是未来临床研究的重点。(C)2002年,爱思唯尔出版。
The definition and phenomenological features of 'burnout' and its eventual relationship with depression and other clinical conditions are reviewed. Work is an indispensable way to make a decent and meaningful way of living, but can also be a source of stress for a variety of reasons. Feelings of inadequate control over one's work, frustrated hopes and expectations and the feeling of losing of life's meaning, seem to be independent causes of burnout, a term that describes a condition of professional exhaustion. It is not synonymous with 'job stress', 'fatigue', 'alienation' or 'depression'. Burnout is more common than generally believed and may affect every aspect of the individual's functioning, have a deleterious effect on interpersonal and family relationships and lead to a negative attitude towards life in general. Empirical research suggests that burnout and depression are separate entities, although they may share several 'qualitative' characteristics, especially in the more severe forms of burnout, and in vulnerable individuals, low levels of satisfaction derived from their everyday work. These final issues need further clarification and should be the focus Of future clinical research. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier B.V.
