Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Burnout traditionally studied in professional settings.
- Emerging research explores burnout in personal contexts like family.
- Divorce presents a significant life stressor potentially leading to burnout.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose and validate the Divorce Burnout Model (DBM).
- To identify sociodemographic and divorce-specific predictors of divorce burnout.
- To examine the relationship between divorce burnout and work absenteeism.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study design.
- Sample of 1,856 recently divorced Danish citizens.
- Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis to test the DBM.
Main Results:
- The DBM demonstrated a good fit to the data.
- For men, predictors of higher divorce burnout included fewer prior divorces, former spouse initiating divorce, no new partner, and higher conflict.
- For women, predictors included lower income, former spouse initiating divorce, no new partner, and higher conflict.
