Burnout Measure: Short Version

If you would like to determine your burnout level, then take the short version

of Malach-Pines (2005) Burnout Measure.

Please use the following scale to answer the question: When you think about your

work overall, how often do you feel the following?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

never almost never

rarely sometimes often very often

always

Tired  ________ Disappointed with people ________ Hopeless ________ Trapped ________ Helpless ________ Depressed ________ Physically weak/Sickly ________ Worthless/Like a failure ________ Difficulties sleeping ________ “I've had it” ________

In order to calculate your burnout score add your responses to  the 10 items and divide by 10 .

Now that you have taken the measure and determined your overall burnout score,

what does it mean? According to Malach-Pines (2005), if you scored between 0 and

2 you have little or no burnout. A score of 2 to 3 indicates that you are at risk

for burnout. Unfortunately, a score of 3 or higher means that you are burned out

with high burnout being in the 4 to 5 range and very high burnout in the 5 or

higher range. If you are burned out you may want to use some of the strategies

discussed in this chapter for dealing with burnout or consult a counselor for more

assistance.
