Abstract
Background: A consensual definition of occupational burnout is currently lacking. We aimed to harmonize the definition of occupational burnout as a health outcome in medical research and to reach a consensus on this definition within the Network on the Coordination and Harmonisation of European Occupational Cohorts (OMEGA-NET).
Methods: First, we performed a systematic review in MEDLINE, PsycINFO and EMBASE (January 1990 to August 2018) and a semantic analysis of the available definitions. We used the definitions of burnout and burnout-related concepts from the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) to formulate a consistent harmonized definition of the concept. Second, we sought to obtain consensus on the proposed definition using the Delphi technique.
Results: We identified 88 unique definitions of burnout and assigned each of them to one of the 11 original definitions. The semantic analysis yielded a semantic proposal, formulated in accordance with SNOMED-CT as follows: “In a worker, occupational burnout or occupational physical AND emotional exhaustion state is an exhaustion due to prolonged exposure to work-related problems”. A panel of 50 experts (researchers and healthcare professionals with an interest for occupational burnout) reached consensus on this proposal at the second round of the Delphi, with 82% of experts agreeing on it.
Conclusion: This study resulted in a harmonized definition of occupational burnout approved by experts from 29 countries within the OMEGA-NET. Future research should address the reproducibility of the Delphi consensus in a larger panel of experts, representing more countries, and examine the practicability of the definition.
Kind of Data
Three csv files. The first one (ResearchStrings.csv) presents the literature research strings applied to MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsychINFO, respectively.
The second file (DefinitionsIndexation&Citation_OriginaVsUniqueDef.csv) presents the statements of different definitions of occupational burnout identified within the systematic review, their references and the references of studies citing them.
Finally the third file (DefinitionsIndexation&Citation_UniqueDefinitionSummary.csv) presents the correspondence between these “unique” definitions and their “original” definitions.
Unit of Analysis
Number of citations per original and secondary definition of occupational burnout among studies included in the systematic review
