This study examined causes of burnout in doctors, nurses and social workers caring for patients in HIV/AIDS units. There were 84 participants at Time 1 (1990) and 134 at Time 2 (1991). The results focus on the longitudinal subsample of 32 who participated in the study at both times. Path analysis was used to explore relationships between burnout at Time 2 and age, hours per week in HIV/AIDS work, and external coping style at Time 1. Older age was related to lower levels of burnout at Time 2. Hours per week in HIV/AIDS work was related to levels of burnout. Participants using an external coping style were more likely to score highly on burnout at Time 2. Where possible, management should avoid recruiting young, inexperienced staff without addressing burnout issues. Workshops to teach staff internal coping skills are recommended. Units might promote the psychosocial achievements of staff, shifting away from the traditional cure-based achievement measures. |
