Reference Assistance

[edit source]

Hi, this is a really good topic as I believe that a lot of people suffer from burnout due to current world situations that are ever changing. With the increase in the cost of living and the people’s yearly wages remaining unchanged but there being an increase in workload, I believe we might see a rise in job burnout in the near future.

I have provided you with a couple of references that I think might be helpful to your topic.

Maslach, C., & Leiter, M. P. (2006). Burnout. Stress and quality of working life: current perspectives in occupational health, 37, 42-49.

Leiter, M. P., Maslach, C., & Frame, K. (2014). Burnout. The encyclopedia of clinical psychology, 1-7.

Final chapter suggestion

[edit source]

Hi! This is such a great and important topic since it is such a broad issue in the mordern day world. We're definitely seeing burnout on the rise, but I do think going into why the brain goes into burnout biologically can be an important factor to include, such as talking about brain chemicals like serotonin and norepinephrine, how they play a role in burnot, and why it's important to monitor them. --Teermeej Hossain (discusscontribs) 15:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Helpful Resource

[edit source]

Hi, I came across this resource CETC - Secondary Traumatic Stress and Staff Well-being: Understanding compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout in therapeutic care - practice guide - CETC at work today. It states 'The term “burnout” was coined in the 1970s by the American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger. He used it to describe the consequences of severe stress and high ideals in “helping” professions'. It has some references at the end of the document that may be helpful to you. I'm working on compassion fatigue and the two concepts come up together a lot in the literature. U3055143 (discusscontribs) 08:03, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Context suggestion

[edit source]

Hi, You have a strong foundation of the layout of your chapter and it appears to flow very well. I would suggest including different contexts of burnout as there is 3 main domains, occupational burnout, individual burnout and organisational burnout. --GeorgiaFairweather (discusscontribs) 09:57, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I have changed some sentence structuring in the section 'what is the difference between burnout and stress' but I thought you could possibly use the bit I have turned into a sort of dialogue example into a case study example. I think this could really make the concept easier to understand, more relatable and impactful. Hope this helps :) - U3222363 --Sophia246 (discusscontribs) 10:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions for this chapter

[edit source]

Hello, some good work so far, Im looking forward to seeing it fleshed out. I would suggest perhaps giving some specific examples of where burnout is seen in the workforce. I have found a good article that examines burnout specifically in healthcare which may help narrow down the focus. It also provides some good preventative measures to burnout as well. Hope this helps! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7604257/ U3216389 (discusscontribs) 02:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, great work on the chapter and explaining burnout and clarifying the difference between burnout and stress! I noticed it seems you have explored burnout from a neurotypical perspective. An idea for further exploration and depth for the chapter could involve looking at burnout from mental illness and neurodivergency such as autism. You could look at what causes burnout in these instances and what could be done about it :) - U3222363 --Sophia246 (discusscontribs) 10:38, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter
  2. I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter.
  3. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations
  4. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section
  5. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Basic Overview
  2. Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Basic focus question(s)
  1. Insufficient use of psychological theory about this topic
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory
  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research
  1. Insufficient as a cohesive summary of what the best available psychological theory and research has to say about the topic
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Use serial commas[2] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    3. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:)
    4. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')
  3. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  4. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces
    3. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Figure captions use the correct format
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. References use correct APA style
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      4. Include hyperlinked dois
      5. "Retrieved from" is no longer used (APA style, 7th ed.)
      6. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
    7. Template material has been removed
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic
  2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Citations and links to non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the external links section
  5. Basic use of image(s)
  6. Basic use of table(s)
  7. Basic use of feature box(es)
  8. No use of quiz(zes)
  9. No use of case studies or examples
  10. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Also include links to related Wikipedia articles
  11. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
  1. ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
