    Author: Chan K, Chen M.
    Journal: J Pastoral Care Counsel; 2019 Dec; 73(4):232-237. PubMed ID: 31829120.
    Abstract:
    A quantitative survey was conducted among a convenience sample of 164 church ministers in China to test a model relating experience of stress, clergy burnout, and clergy health. Results indicated that respondents experience relatively low levels of stress and burnout. The burnout score was 2.73 on a seven-point scale. Stress from family was a significant predictor of overall burnout. The experience of emotional exhaustion was a significant predictor of the occurrence of adverse health symptoms.
