Analysis of the effect of psychological flexibility and tension response on the risk of occupational burnout
Objective To analyze and explore the causes of burnout among medical workers,to establish a burnout risk prediction model for medical workers,and to provide clues for burnout intervention among medical workers.Methods A stratified sampling method was adopted,and 1,873 medical workers were studied.Relevant data were obtained by using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire(AAQ),Occupational Stress Revision Scale(OSI-R),and Occupational Burnout Inventory(MBI-GS).A combination of Bayesian network modeling and Generalized Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the possible roles of psychological flexibility and stress response in the occurrence of burnout,explore the potential path relationships,and analyze the relationship of the pathways.The combination of Bayesian network modeling and generalized structural equation modeling was used to analyze the possible roles of psychological flexibility and tension response in the occurrence of burnout and to explore the potential path relationships,based on which a risk model was established and the risk of burnout was predicted for individuals.Results The positive detection rate of burnout in medical workers was 65.57%;occupational tension in medical workers was positively correlated with burnout(r=0.45,P<0.01),psychological flexibility was negatively correlated with burnout(r=-0.48,P<0.01),and psychological flexibility was negatively correlated with occupational tension(r=-0.52,P<0.01).Occupational tension reaction played a partial mediating role between psychological flexibility and burnout of medical staff,and the mediating effect accounted for 23.50%;The burnout status of medical staff directly depended on their psychological flexibility and occupational tension reaction.Conclusion The tension response mediates the relationship between psychological flexibility and the occurrence of burnout;as psychological flexibility decreases,the risk of burnout increases,and as the tension response emerges,the risk of burnout increases twofold.The research findings can provide corresponding references for preventing burnout and promoting psychological health among medical workers.
