Occupational burnout syndrome among teachers in the light of voice emission disorders


Abstract

The article presents the results of the research on occupational burnout syndrome and the experience of subjective voice complaints by teachers (n = 112). The research procedure used the VHI (Voice Handicap Index) test to measure voice disability and the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) test to assess the level of occupational burnout. There are statistically significant correlations between burnout syndrome (depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, perceived lack of achievement) and VHI test results. Experiencing burnout syndrome may be associated with increased voice difficulties.
