The following meta-analysis, published in European Psychiatry, estimates the level of burnout in mental health professionals and identifies specific determinants of burnout in that population. Increasing age was found to be associated with an increased risk of depersonalization but also a heightened sense of personal accomplishment. Work-related factors such as workload and relationships at work, are key determinants for burnout, while role clarity, a sense of professional autonomy, a sense of being fairly treated, and access to regular clinical supervision appear to be protective.
