Définition Burnout et recommendations du traitement du burnout
Il y a plusieurs définitions, mais pas de consensus.
Notre définition: Burnout is a work-related stress reaction leading to a persistent, negative state of mind in "normal" individuals that is primarily characterized by exhaustion, which is
accompanied by distress, a sense of reduced effectiveness, decreased motivation, and the development of dysfunctional attitudes and behaviours at work, Burnout shows on the somatic level by
dysregulation of neuroendocrine stress regulation mechanisms which may present with vegetative symptoms. This physiological condition develops gradually but may remain unnoticed for a long time
by the individual involved. It results from a misfit between the person an the job concerning six strategic areas: workload, community, support, values, fairness and control. When an imbalance
exists in one or more of these areas, the individual‘s resources no longer suffice to deal with the circumstances at work. Often burnout is self-perpetuating because of increasingly inadequate
coping strategies that are associated with the syndrome.
