Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslach and Jackson (1982) did study burnout, but their research did not specifically conclude that nurses showed the greatest degree of depersonalization and physicians the greatest dissatisfaction with their sense of accomplishment. Their work was more broadly focused on the development of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the conceptualization of burnout across various professions, not making such specific comparative conclusions between nurses and physicians.
