Description
Background: The present objective was to verify whether burnout (emotional exhaustion [EE], depersonalization [DP] and low professional efficacy [PE]) is a risk factor for long-term sickness absence (LTSA;
30 consecutive days) from the teaching role.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study with two years of follow-up that investigated 509 elementary and high-school teachers. Burnout was identified by Maslach Burnout Inventory. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to adjust for possible confounders.
Results: The incidence of LTSA was 9.4%. High EE levels were associated with LTSA in the crude analysis, but the association lost statistical significance after adjustments (for sex, age, perception of work-life
balance, general self-rated health, chronic pain and depression). High DP levels were associated with this outcome, even after all adjustments (relative risk 1⁄4 1.80; 95% confidence interval: 1.05e3.09). Low
PE levels were not related to LTSA.
Conclusion: The results reinforce the need to improve teachers’ work conditions to reduce burnout, particularly DP, and its consequences.
