Burnout in the identification of a human being is helpless like that famous frog in a saucepan, where the water temperature rises gradually. The frog doesn’t notice to jump out before it’s too late. So it’s burnout, too, is progressing.

the health department said Tuesday in Helsinki held health days, the how burnout can be identified. Burnout Assessment tool is called summarize, that the burnout is a combination of the inability, unwillingness and lack of energy to perform work.

Finnish institute of occupational Health research professor Jari Chevron according to the most important single character is constantly worsening fatigue. It is summed up with the kind of fatigue, where the working week Friday, the tired determination is Sunday still tired.

the health department it is known that Finland has not so far been a good method työuupuneet could describe their symptoms and experiences. Information finns burnout from are from the year 2011. They are obsolete information that is collected in the bad proved by the method.

Now let’s try it again and in new ways. Tuesday presented a research project to test new methods of burnout assessment. Cognitive disabilities as well as emotional control disorders not previously obtained condition information.

Cognitive interference means, for example memory, that feeling, that no other between the simpler things. Emotional management disorders are raivoamiset or surprise you into tears burst out of. Surprising they are that they often come from the person himself unexpectedly.

Burnout is yes studied a lot, but its identification has so far been difficult so in the workplace as a health clinic, too.

the People is a known entity, where the work – and kotiminää is difficult to distinguish from each other. Once it was thought that työuupuminen has been a direct result of the work done, fellas and drudgery on the block. Later eye turned to the fact that home life and their troubles come, according to jobs.

the research, professor Jari Chevron, according to this moment is that the burnout caused mainly work-related things. Work happens to come home. And work exhaustion issue then becomes trouble in the home, when this can’t participate in housework or family hobbies.

Sometimes things happen, of course, overlap other reasons. Private life can strike in times of crisis, when business is tight. Now home life the role of can be more real images, because also this thing is designed to explore.

It is known already that the work of a large number of very busy are burnout predictive factors. But still the biggest factors are jobs, bureaucracy and role conflicts. In practice, therefore, broken systems, or unclear responsibilities are stressful even more than a hefty amount of work.

what is Interesting is that burnout in the fight against more can even be good for you. Finnish institute of occupational health data according to their own work challenges increase appears to reduce burnout risk, as long as it makes a voluntary basis. Many hands are at work full, but the tasks are frustrating.

Then you can help the organisation of the work, for example, so that the throw yourself in, say, the job processes. At best, poorly motivated the work in addition to get the stick to work, that inspire. And work from a maybe to do also with people who appreciate this to do.

If not too tired, not tired of it either

Burnout often so far that the solution sought in the workplace or the whole industry to change. A new career is of course heavy, if not too lazy.

in Order to so far not have to, advise experts to follow above all their own free time. Therefore, the time when not supposed to do paid work.

the Main questions are, is it enough energy to make spare time for those things which you actually want to do as well as how the circle takes work. At the stage when you actually note that you have to haggle my beloved hobby because of work, was not yet deep in the swamp. Then I have to go to work.

And it is talking about. The rush and the consequent overstretching is easy to talk to your supervisor. The fact that the work is too little or the job you are tasked with, require more courage. But talk they should.

Finnish institute of occupational Health research professor Jari Chevron recalls health day, that each should take care of that situation to drive in the point that is the fatigue becomes constant.

Chronic fatigue the following memory-offs and tunneryöpyt lead to mental withdrawal and even kyynistyy of. They are people hedging means. The kind of ”let be”-the feeling is the same devilish, as the situation may continue and get worse for a really long time, until one morning no longer get out of bed.

That’s burnout.
