title: An examination of methodological issues in burnout phase research.
abstract: This study explores the impact of three operationalizations of burnout phase on the relationship between burnout and health care utilization of 238 employed adults. Burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory and health care utilization by insurance company records regarding these employees' health care costs and number of times they accessed health care services over a one-year period. Similar results were found for all three operationalizations of burnout phase. Burnout phase was also found to be related to experienced emotional strain under all three operationalizations.
