Background:
Burnout among prison police is an occupational health issue in the field of public health. Although burnout has been a hot issue for decades, there has not been a focus on the specific group of prison police. This study explores the burnout status and its influencing factors among prison police.
Methods:
The Maslach Burnout Questionnaire-General Survey (MBI-GS) was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 1,024 prison police.
Results:
It indicates that emotional exhaustion, negative detachment, and self-efficacy were the most significant dimensions of the burnout among prison police officers. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender (-0.201, P = 8.8958E-11 <0.05), workload (-0.441, P = 1.6287E-9 <0.05), whether they have direct contact with supervisory subjects (-0.394, P = 2.1449E-39 <0.05), and a sense of organizational support (-0.298, P = 3.7182E-7 <0.05) were risk factors for burnout in prison police.
Conclusions:
Burnout among prison officers can be reduced through preferential treatment of prison police, sound organizational mechanisms, and self-improvement of prison police.
