To compare data obtained in a pilot study (2002) which evaluated the risk from exposure to stress and burnout in health care workers, the same three subjective questionnaires were administered: the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).

Abstract
To compare data obtained in a pilot study (2002) which evaluated the risk from exposure to stress and burnout in health care workers, the same three subjective questionnaires were administered: the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The evaluation considered 294 workers employed in eight units: two of the six previous units were reorganized in four subunits. Preliminary data showed that questionnaires' scores have a concordant trend in the different units, as observed in 2002, confirming the validity of the instruments adopted. Results indicated a decreased level of the perceived stress in all the units, especially in the Third Division. We can hypothesize that the new organization, workers turnover during the 5 years and the effect due to individual variables could have contribute to the observed variation. No significant associations, compared to 2002, between questionnaires'scores and task were found. Further evaluations, including measurement of objective parameters, will be carried out to complete the follow-up study and to determine which variables could have a role in the variation of the levels of stress and burnout's subjective perception.Pubblicazioni consigliate
