Abstract

The amount of burnout symptoms among 736 nurses (mean age=31. 1, 18 to 74) was examined in relation to support resource and job stress. The amounts of burnout and job stress were assessed by the Japanese-translated MBI and NJSS, respectively. To evaluate the support resources, the subjects were asked to identify confidants with whom they talked about his or her own job stress. The nurses who had the confidants on the outside of their workplace showed significantly higher score of emotional exhaustion than those who had only on the inside, when the levels of stress associated with interpersonalenvironment inside their workplace was high. The nurses who had the confidants only on the outside of their workplace and those who had no confidants showed significantly higher score of depersonalization than those who had on the inside, when the levels of stress associated with interpersonal environ mentinside their workplace was moderate. These results suggest that seeking social support only outside their workplace related to the high degree of the burnout, when the interpersonal problem inside their workplace was stressful.
