Burnout was recognised by the World Health Organization in the ICD-11 as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterised by three dimensions: energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from work, and reduced professional efficacy.
Burnout is distinct from depression, though the two can co-occur. While depression is pervasive across all life domains, burnout is specifically linked to work contexts. Key risk factors include excessive workload, lack of control, insufficient reward, breakdown of community, absence of fairness, and values conflicts. Recovery requires both individual coping strategies and organisational changes.
Burnout is a state of chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. The WHO recognised burnout in ICD-11 as an occupational phenomenon characterised by three dimensions: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one's job or feelings of negativism or cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. It is distinct from clinical depression, though the two can co-occur.
Burnout is measured across three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion (feeling emotionally drained and depleted by work), Depersonalisation (developing cynical or detached attitudes toward work and colleagues), and reduced Personal Accomplishment (feeling ineffective and lacking a sense of achievement). High burnout is indicated by high scores on exhaustion and depersonalisation, combined with low scores on personal accomplishment.
Recovery from burnout involves both individual and organisational strategies. Individual approaches include setting boundaries, prioritising rest and recovery, seeking social support, practising stress management techniques, and considering therapy. Organisational factors are equally important: workload management, autonomy, recognition, fairness, community, and values alignment all play crucial roles. Professional help from a therapist or counsellor can provide structured support for recovery.
