title: Predictors and correlates of burnout in residents working with cancer patients.
abstract: There are few studies which have investigated variables associated with the development of burnout among residents working with cancer patients. The aim of this study is to identify variables leading to residents' burnout in order to develop effective interventions. Burnout was assessed with Maslach Burnout Inventory. Person- (i.e., emotional-focused coping) and work-related (i.e., changes in lack of organizational support index) variables explain 28% of the variance in changes in emotional exhaustion. Training programs may be improved by adding specific modules for residents, about problem-focused coping in interviewing patients, and for supervisors, about effective team management.
