  • Title: ["Burnout"--is it a disease or rather a consequence of (work-) stress?].
    Author: Koehler U, Koehler YL.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2014 Aug; 139(34-35):1731-4. PubMed ID: 25116025.
    Abstract:
    Burnout is a work related health impairment comprising three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and reduced personal accomplishment. Not least because of the highly frequented term "burnout" within the German speaking area, there is a rising interest in the connection of work related stress and psychological and somatic complaints. Burnout is not a disease in the proper sense but a physiological construct. Coherence between work related stress and the development of psychological and somatic diseases has been proven by many studies. However burnout requires a differential diagnostic categorisation. Therapeutic procedures and prevention measures should be initiated based on the forms and categorisation of work related stress.
