Discuss burnout, including its symptoms, the characteristics of people who experience it, the jobs in which it usually occurs, and the ways the effects of burnout can be reduced

What will be an ideal response?

Answer will include that burnout occurs when workers are physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. When people become burned out, they experience emotional exhaustion, cynicism or detachment, and feelings of reduced personal accomplishment. Burnout may occur in any job, but it is a special problem in emotionally demanding helping professions, such as nursing, teaching, social work, childcare, counseling, or police work. Also, people who are more passionate about their work are more vulnerable to burnout. In order to keep caring people in the helping professions, it may be necessary to adjust workloads, rewards, and the amount of control people have in their jobs.
