title: [Burnout in alcohol and drug withdrawal treatment. Comparison of 2 different departments over the course of 18 months].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The study aimed at comparing burnout in staff members at residential drug and alcohol detoxification wards with and without teamsupervision.
  
  
  METHODS
  4 times in a period of 18 month all staff members (n = 44) were assessed for burnout using a german version (Checkliste Burnoutmerkmale) of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI, Maslach u. Jackson 1986) to asses the severity and the CBE (Checkliste Burnoutentstehungsmerkmale) for associated burnout risc-factors.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no statistical differences between the mean scores of the 3 different wards due to extreme SDs. The interpersonal differences among staff on the 4 occasions were remarkably. On repeated measurements the intraindividual changes were high. Higher scores were correlated with high workload (seen as frequent admissions).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Work-related variables (admissions) turned out to be of more importance than supervision in times of chronic staff-shortage.
