| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate whether burnout predicts new disability pension. It involved a population-based cross-sectional sample of 3125 employees in Finland. The data collection in 2000-2001 comprised an interview, a clinical health examination including a standardised mental health interview, and a questionnaire including the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Disability pensions and their causes until December 2004 were extracted from national pension records. The association between burnout and new disability pension was analysed with logistic regression models. Findings are discussed. Burnout predicts permanent work disability and could therefore be used as a risk marker of chronic health-related work stress. |
