Introduction

The health sector has long been recognized to be

a very stressful work environment for teams that can lead to

“burnout”. Geriatric institutions are no exception to this obser-

vation; this state has deleterious effects on health care as on the

quality of care.

Objectives

Measure the burnout rate among caregivers in geri-

atric institutions and identify associated factors and coping

strategies specific to this population in order to provide the nec-

essary preventive measures.

Subjects and method A cross-sectional study, conducted among

caregivers exercising at the shelter for aged subjects of Manouba,

Tunisia. We used a pre-survey exploring the socio-demographic

data associated with two validated scales: the Maslach Burnout

Inventory assessing the level of burnout and the Brief COPE

assessing coping strategies.

Results

Thirty-one subjects were recruited. The prevalence of

burnout was 45.16%. Respectively 32.26%, 25.80% and 45.16% of the

respondents had high scores in dimensions emotional exhaustion,

depersonalization and personal accomplishment at work. The ana-

lytical study revealed that seniority in work increased the risk of

burnout. The coping strategies of caregivers in geriatric institution

facing burnout were mainly centered on emotion. The number of

years of experience has been associated with burnout in our study.

Conclusion

This work reaffirms that the population of caregivers

in geriatric institution is at risk of burnout and allows to identify

predictors. The establishment of individual and collectivemeasures

is essential for appropriate treatment references (In the body text, a

publication should be referred to by a consecutive number between

bracket)
