Symptoms of Burnout
The survey asked participants to rate how frequently they experienced symptoms related to burnout. The four choices were Never, Some Days, Most Days, and Every Day. The choices were given a corresponding numerical value, with Never=0, Some Days=1, Most Days=2, and Every Day=3. For example, if participants chose “Never,” their answer would be a 0 because they did not experience the symptom. There were four negative statements and five positive statements regarding the participants’ experiences at work (Table 8).
