Abstract: (19 Views)
Introduction: Maintaining general health and preventing occupational burnout are two fundamental components of individuals' lives, and each can influence the other. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between occupational burnout and general health among the emergency medical technician (EMT).
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 150 EMT from Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2021, who were selected by simple random sampling method. The data collection tools included the "Maslach job burnout Scale" and the "Goldberg General Health Questionnaire". Data analysis was performed using descriptive tests and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: Based on the findings of the present study, the average age of participants was 35.14 ± 8.09 years. The average score for occupational burnout and general health was 57.98 ± 19.28 and 48.26 ± 10.97, respectively. The results of the Pearson correlation test indicated that occupational burnout had a significant relationship with general health (r = 0.613, p = 0.001).
Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, occupational burnout and general health among the EMT were in average level. Increasing occupational burnout scores exacerbate general health disorders among EMT. It seems that selecting students interested in the profession of pre hospital can enhance the situation of this feeling in individuals working in this field. Additionally, it is essential for prehospital managers to pay attention to the occupational burnout and general health in order to improve the quality of services provided by the EMT.
