Abstract
The objectives of this cross-sectional analytical study were to explore work burnout and to analyze related factors in 133 dental nurses under the Office of the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Public Health in Songkhla province. The self-administered Thai version of Maslach Burnout Inventory (TMBI) was postal sent. The TMBI composed of personal information and 3 parts of work burnout which were emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA). The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test). Then multiple logistic regression was used to analyze associations among related factors and each part of work burnout.
The response rate was 73.7%. The dental nurses had moderate level of EE (mean=19.4, SD=12.68) and PA (mean=35.5, SD=9.53), while DP was low level (mean=4.7, SD=4.45). For EE, having only a diploma of Public Health (2-year Dental Public Health curriculum) had higher EE level than bachelor’s degree (adjusted OR=3.89, 95% CI=1.16-13.00). Having occasional or frequent tiredness after work had lower EE level than who having regular tiredness which adjusted OR were 0.03 (95% CI=0.00-0.14) and 0.14 (95% CI=0.03-0.72), respectively. For DP, single dental nurse had higher DP level than the married one (adjusted OR=3.39, 95% CI=1.27-9.09), while who having occasional tiredness after work had lower DP level than the one with regular tiredness after work (adjusted OR=0.26, 95% CI=0.08-0.87). Finally, dental nurses aged 21-38 years had higher level PA than 39-59-year-old one (adjusted OR=2.58, 95% CI=1.06-6.27).
