2.2.5 Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)
The MBI, which was originally developed by Maslach and
Jackson15, is a self-report instrument to evaluate the
intensity and frequency of perceived burnout. The validity and
reliability studies of the scale in the Turkish population were
conducted by Ergin et al.16. It consists of 22 items
and the scores are ranged on a 5-point Likert-type scale. It has three
subscales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and professional
accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion assesses feelings of being fatigue
and emotionally overwhelmed by work. Depersonalization assesses the
extent to which an individual responds impersonally and lacking toward
others they care for, provide service to, or instruct at work. Personal
accomplishment evaluates the perceived personal competence and
achievement. The scores range from 0 (never) to 4 (always) for the
emotional exhaustion (0-48) and depersonalization (0-30) subscales,
while the lower personal achievement subscale scores, which is
independent of the other subscales, indicate a higher degree of
experienced burnout.
