这项探索性研究调查了83名在中西部州立监狱系统工作的精神健康和药物滥用工作人员的上层行政支持与职业倦怠之间的关系。通过单因素分析，笔者发现治疗人员的职业倦怠程度较低，而他们对高层管理人员的支持程度却存在较大差异。逐步回归分析表明，危险的行政支持和囚犯接触是最好的耗竭(倦怠)预测因子。对负责特别服务的副典狱长的支持感觉较弱，与较高的疲惫分数有关。一项基本内容分析还显示，治疗人员的疲惫可能来自一系列来源。对如何改善管理支持以预防职业倦怠进行了讨论，并对进一步研究提出了建议。
This exploratory study examined the relationship between upper-level administrative support and the burnout of 83 mental health and substance abuse staff working within a state prison system in the Midwest. After conducting univariate analyses, The author found that the burnout of the treatment staff seemed quite low, whereas their opinions about the supportiveness of high-ranking treatment managers varied considerably. Stepwise regression procedures indicated that danger administrative support, and inmate contact, in descending order of strength, were the best predictors of exhaustion (burnout). Weaker perceptions of support from the deputy warden of special services were linked to higher exhaustion scores. A basic content analysis also revealed that the exhaustion of treatment staff could emerge from a range of sources. Suggestions on how to improve managerial support to prevent burnout and recommendations for further research are discussed.
