BURNOUT: How dangerous could it be?

-
The term burnout is commonly used in the context of fatigue at work but the latest findings from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) reveal that symptoms can also occur to a person if unable to perform normal daily routines.


UKM Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Health Program Lecturer, Dr Shazli Ezzat Ghazali said, his party detected the symptoms of burnout through the negative effects of the environment experienced by students of institutions of higher learning (IPT). He said the special study was conducted on 159 respondents who were trapped on campus during the Movement Control Order (PKP) using tools developed according to the suitability of the situation.


"Studies show that students experience four characteristics that contribute to the symptoms such as pessimism (bad suspicion) towards residential colleges or institutions of higher learning, fatigue due to activities or tasks arranged, insufficient feelings and problems experienced during the PKP period. The results show that 37.6 percent of the 159 students who were trapped when PKP was detected to have symptoms of burnout."

Apart from that, he said, the results of the study from March to April on the respondents aged between 20 to 25 years revealed that the group of students had other psychological issues.


"Other effects experienced include mental health problems such as psychosomatic, anxiety, insonmia, social dysfunction and depression by 24 percent as well as loneliness (64 percent). Following the study, several interventions were conducted by researchers to overcome this psychological problem, including using technology in creating a process of socialization according to new norms."

"For example, creating a WhatsApp group to express feelings of stress, loneliness and fatigue due to the burnout process earlier. In addition, planning in creating activities that comply with the SOP is also developed to reduce the issue of silence such as gathering with a social distance of one meter during food distribution as well as the daily needs of students," he said.

    MCO really brings a lot of bad impacts as well despite saving this country from this pandemic. So many things that I didnt know before could happen just because of staying at home.

By: Nur 'Inayah It’s a confusing time for all of us, but more so for children and pets who may not be able to fathom why life is on pause. One dejected dog who’s stuck indoors is especially upset by the lockdown. Three-year-old dog Big Poppa was snapped looking crestfallen as he watched two children play outside from his balcony. A picture of the dejected dog was shared by owner Rashida Ellis, 38, a costume designer from Atlanta, Georgia, on Twitter. It has since blown up online, attracting the likes of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and even Ellen DeGeneres. She tweeted: ‘Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building. He just watches them from the patio.’ The tweet has more than 600,000 likes, with many wishing they could play with Big Poppa. Maisie Williams wrote: ‘Not being dramatic but I would literally die for Big Poppa,’ meanwhile Ellen used the opportunity to remind people the importance of social distancing. ‘Stay insid

Petua Membuka Semula Pejabat Anda dengan Selamat

Oleh: Nur 'Inayah Buka sekarang? Buka kemudian? Ketika perdebatan berleluasa untuk memulakan semula ekonomi, satu elemen kritikal tidak ada dalam perbincangan. Peramal kejayaan atau kegagalan kita tidak banyak berkaitan dengan perniagaan ketika membuka pintu pejabat. Menjaga pekerja dan pelanggan dengan selamat dan sihat semasa berniaga dalam pandemi yang berterusan tidak hanya bergantung pada tingkah laku seperti memakai topeng, melakukan pemeriksaan suhu, mencuci tangan, dan menjauhkan diri sejauh enam kaki. Ini akan bergantung pada membuat kita semua melakukan perkara-perkara ini, setiap masa, untuk jangka masa yang lama. Majikan sebagai fasilitator.  Perkara ini tidak boleh diserahkan kepada HR, atau diserahkan kepada perunding. Majikan mesti berdiri di hadapan pekerja dan menunjukkan keikhlasan dan komitmen mereka terhadap dasar baru. Pemesejan moral.  Melaksanakan kes moral untuk mengubah tingkah laku dengan menceritakan kisah rakan, keluarga, atau pelanggan yang terkena damp
