目的职业倦怠是一种因工作压力无法缓解而引起的疾病，不应被误认为是抑郁综合征。在这一验证性因素分析研究中，这一论断的有效性进行了检查。方法在瑞士和法国招募了5名就业人员样本（N = 3，113）。倦怠症状进行了评估与Shirom-Melamed倦怠测量，Maslach倦怠量表（MBI）-一般调查，和MBI的教育工作者。用PHQ-9测量抑郁症状。结果在所有5个样本中，与倦怠成分相关的潜在因素平均与潜在抑郁因素的相关性更高，甚至与PHQ-9中删除的疲劳相关项目也是如此。二阶因子分析表明，潜在的抑郁因素和潜在的因素有关的倦怠的组成部分是反映了同一个总体因素。结论本研究表明，倦怠-抑郁的区分是人为的。
Objective It has been asserted that burnout-a condition ascribed to unresolvable job stress-should not be mistaken for a depressive syndrome. In this confirmatory factor analytic study, the validity of this assertion was examined. Methods Five samples of employed individuals, recruited in Switzerland and France, were mobilized for this study (N = 3,113). Burnout symptoms were assessed with the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)-General Survey, and the MBI for Educators. Depressive symptoms were measured with the PHQ-9. Results In all five samples, the latent factors pertaining to burnout's components correlated on average more highly with the latent Depression factor than with each other, even with fatigue-related items removed from the PHQ-9. Second-order factor analyses indicated that the latent Depression factor and the latent factors pertaining to burnout's components were reflective of the same overarching factor. Conclusions This study suggests that the burnout-depression distinction is artificial.
