Burnout: Its Impact on Child Welfare Workers and Their Spouses.

Jayaratne, Srinika; And Others

Social Work, v31 n1 p53-58 Jan-Feb 1986

Female child welfare workers and their husbands participated in a study of burnout and the effects of work stress on family relations. Results indicated that greater feelings of burnout in the workers were associated with their depression, anxiety, and irritableness. These individuals were also likely to report lower marital satisfaction. (Author/ABB)
