Results of the study indicated: (a) greater burnout was associated with diminishing social support; (b) of the six types of social support, social integration and opportunity for nurturance were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion, reliable alliance was a significant predictor of depersonalization, and social integration was a significant predictor of low sense of personal accomplishment; (c) of the six types of social support, deficits in guidance, reassurance of worth, social integration, and attachment were associated with high risk for burnout; (d) the social support received from family/friends was significantly greater than the social support received from either supervisor or coworkers; (e) male counselors experienced greater depersonalization than female counselors; as age increases all three dimensions of burnout diminish; as years of experience increase emotional exhaustion decreases; as client contact hours increase a low sense of personal accomplishment increases; analyses could not be completed on ethnicity and private vs. public agency due to inadequate sample of non-white subjects and private practice subjects; (f) there was no evidence of a buffering effect even though a main effect was found for occupational stress and social support with regard to low sense of personal accomplishment. This research has implications for counseling faculty, supervisors in agencies, and clinicians/coworkers with regard to improving the training of rural counselors. Improvements in training may have a beneficial effect on recruitment and retention of counselors in underserved rural areas. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
