The purpose of recent study is evaluation of the relation between occupational burnout and general health of operating room employees in the hospitals of Zahedan.
This is a descriptive-analytic study that gathered 120 of operating room employees of Zahedan hospitals together by census method. The data of this survey are collected by Meshach 22-clause occupational burnout questionnaire and Goldenberg 28-question general health questionnaire.
Results have shown that operating room employees suffer from depersonalization and then excitement exhaustion from the occupational burnout viewpoint and agitation with physical problems from the general health perspective. There is a positive meaningful relation between occupational burnout, general health and other subscales (P-V,./05./000). In monitoring of physical health standards, agitation health standards and personal unsuccessfulness in comparison with excitement exhaustion and depersonalization, it was cleared that women and men have more problems respectively. Besides, with growing up and depersonalization and personal unsuccessfulness feelings decreased meaningfully.
The high rate of agitation, physical problems, declining general health level of operating room employees and significant impact of occupational burnout in this issue reveals the necessity of attention and scheduling of hospital managers in order to decrease occupational problems of this group.
