Burnout due to the
jobs
It is very hard to find a job that
is satisfying. In order to find good paying jobs, people have to go through a
lot of education and experience. In other words, most of the good paying jobs
are competitive, only few people pass interviews and other work requirements. People who get jobs are exposed to a lot of
stresses and they go through a lot of pressures which reduces their working
capacity.Sometimes the pace and pressure of occupation becomes more than a person can bear, resulting in burnout (Text book Edition 4 Page 460). It is common in healthcare fields due to the amount of work, responsibilities, and pressure. I have seen many nurses in the hospitals, who are stressed out and tired for the most of the time. Sometimes they have to do double shift which elevates the stress level greatly. Many times nurses don't take short breaks due to the large amount of work. If employees are stressed out, then it will also impact the company. The total profit of the company is likely to go down because the employees would work under pressure. In the health care field if nurses stop enjoying the work that they do, then they would not be able to provide a good service to the patients who need good care to make them feel better, and to deal with their diseases. Overall, the stress and burnout at the working place impacts everybody involved in the occupation negatively.
I have definitely seen burnout in some of my coworkers at the company I used to work for. This particular company showed no regaured for their employees--munipulating and pushing them to work all hours of the day and night. There were very few people I met who had been working for the company for more than one year, but one woman I worked with had been working for them for nine years and it really seemed like she was so burned out that she would even go out of her way to make her supervisor and the owners angry.
ReplyDeleteBurn out is a huge problem in the healthcare field! Nurses are pushed to their limits and working long hours. This may leave them feeling like they are "not helping" anyway, leading to a decrease in ability to give appropriate care. When caregivers feel like they are ineffective, it becomes a downward spiral.
