[The burnout syndrome--an overview].
Burnout denotes an occupational health concept of emotional and physical exhaustion, depersonalization und decreased personal accomplishment. Prevalence rates range from 10% to 50%, depending from profession, assessment tools and population. Generally, both women and men are equally affected by burnout. Poor sleep is specifically associated rather with emotional and physical exhaustion than with depressive symptoms. Treating burnout focuses on change of work-related conditions and of dysfunctional cognitive-emotional structures.
