Le Health & Safety Executive Indicator Tool (HSE-IT) est un questionnaire standardisé couramment utilisé pour évaluer le stress lié au travail dans les organisations. Bien que la validité du HSE-IT ait été bien documentée et que des relations significatives aient été observées entre ses échelles et plusieurs résultats liés au travail, il n’existe à ce jour aucune preuve concernant les relations entre le HSE-IT et le burnout chez les travailleurs de la santé. Afin d’étudier les relations entre les sous-échelles du HSE-IT et les dimensions du burnout telles que mesurées par le Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) dans un échantillon de professionnels de la réadaptation italiens employés dans des institutions de soins de santé, un questionnaire transversal anonyme a été administré à un échantillon de professionnels de la réadaptation italiens comprenant des physiothérapeutes, des ergothérapeutes, des techniciens en réadaptation psychiatrique et des thérapeutes en psychomotricité du développement.

The Health & Safety Executive Indicator Tool (HSE-IT) is a standard-based questionnaire commonly used to assess work-related stress in organizations. Although the HSE-IT validity has been well documented and significant relationships have been observed between its scales and several work-related outcomes, to date there is no evidence concerning the relationships between the HSE-IT and burnout among healthcare workers.To investigate the relationships between the HSE-IT subscales and burnout dimensions as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals employed in healthcare institutions.An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals including physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychiatric rehabilitation technicians and developmental psychomotor therapists. Associations between the HSE-IT and the MBI were analysed with multiple linear regression models.A total of 432 rehabilitation professionals completed the questionnaire and 14% of them showed high levels of burnout risk. Significant differences in the HSE-IT scores were found between workers at high risk of burnout and workers at low risk of burnout. Hierarchical regressions showed an association between the HSE-IT scales and the MBI factors: emotional exhaustion was associated with ‘demands’ and ‘role’, and both depersonalization and personal accomplishment were associated with ‘control’ and ‘role’.This preliminary study showed the HSE-IT subscales are sensitive to burnout risk as measured by the MBI. The association found between the HSE-IT ‘demands’, ‘role’ and ‘control’ subscales and the MBI dimensions is significant but small. These findings might inform targeted burnout prevention.
