Abstract
Professional burnout and parental burnout are two specific syndromes. Both of them share the same construct: an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion, distancing strategies from the exhausted role (as a worker or as a parent) and a loss of the sense of effectiveness in this role. Even if they both share the same pattern, some risk factors and some consequences, they seems to have specific antecedents and impacts on the individual. This longitudinal study aims to discuss our comprehension of professional burnout and parental burnout with an investigation of their risk factors and consequences, in order to see which one are shared or are specific to one burnout. With our data we investigated the association between changes in risk factors with changes in parental and/or professional burnout, and the association between changes in parental and/or professional burnout with changes in outcomes. After analysis, as expected, a change in risk factors for parenthood only predict change in parental burnout and a change in occupational risk factors only predict change in professional burnout. However we found no association between common risk factors and any type of burnout. In the same fashion, we found that a change in professional burnout predicts significantly changes in job satisfaction, turnover intentions, sleep disorders, depression and somatic complains. On the other hand, a change in parental burnout predicts change in parenthood satisfaction, neglectful and violent behaviors towards one’s child(ren). Finally, a change in both types of burnout will predict changes in counter-productive behaviors and in suicidal thoughts and desire to leave. To that extent we conclude that parental and professional burnout are two distinct syndromes, with specific risk factors and consequences. Furthermore, they seems to share the same construct, and to share consequences. Further studies should focus on retesting the association between common risk factors and both types of burnout, the impact of parental burnout on one’s child(ren), and designing specific intervention for parental burnout.
