P-465 Burnout Syndrome in Secondary School Teachers

Abstract Introduction Secondary school teachers (SST) are particularly affected by occupational stress and burnout because they are exposed to high psychosocial factors at work and organizational constraints related to difficult working conditions. Methods This survey aimed to assess the prevalence of BOS of SST and its relationship with sociodemographic and occupational parameters. This cross-sectional study involved a representative sample of 652SST. We used an individual questionnaire including socio-demographic and occupational parameters, the Karasek’s Job Content Questionnaire, and Maslach BO Inventory. BOS includes three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and loss of self-efficacy. The positive diagnosis of BOS is retained if the scores of the three dimensions are abnormal (high for the first two and low for the third). Results 625 people agreed to participate. The prevalence of job strain was 15.8%, isostrain 6.3 %, and sleep disorders 37.5%. 62.6% had a high emotional exhaustion, 16.3% high depersonalization, and 86.8% low personal accomplishment. 96,3% had at least one abnormal dimension of BOS:33.7% had one abnormal dimension, 55.8% two, and 6.7% three. There is no difference between men and womenThe prevalence of abnormal dimensions of BOS was significantly higher, in those living alone, and in those without regular physical or leisure activity.The multivariate logistic regression showed that job strain, isostrain, fatigue, sleep disorders, constituted a major risk factor of abnormal dimension of BOS. Conclusion SSTpresent a high risk of chronic stress and its consequences (BOS and chronic diseases). Health promotion and education actions must be carried out to sensitize the general population.
