ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the status of job burnout and work ability and to explore their relationship in hospitals employee. METHODS: Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) and work ability index (WAI) were used to measure burnout and work ability of 522 doctors and nurse in 10 hospitals in Yinchuan City. RESULTS: The results indicated that, there were remarkable differences between the doctors and nurses in the scores of MBI. The scores of DE and PA of the doctors were remarkable higher than those of nurses (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). However, in different hospitals, the scores of EE of the doctors in national hospitals were significant higher than those of doctors in private hospitals. But the scores of PA and WAI of the doctors in national hospitals were remarkable lower than those of doctors in private hospitals. In all, the Pearson correlation showed that there are significantly negative correlations between job burnout and work ability (r = - 0.113- - 0.494, P < 0.01). The multianalysis indicated that the variables of influence work ability included the factors of EE, PA, status of sleeping, ages and type of job. CONCLUSION: There are higher job burnout in hospital staff, even so, status of work ability can be improved with enhancing personal resource and achievement, adjusting job burnout and improving the status of sleeping maladjustment.
