| meta description | Burn-out is included in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an occupational phenomenon. It is not classified as a medical condition.It is described in the chapter: ‘Factors influencing health status or contact with health services’ – which includes reasons for which people contact health services but that are not classed as illnesses or health conditions.Burn-out is defined in ICD-11 as follows:“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one s job; andreduced professional efficacy.Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”Burn-out was also included in ICD-10, in the same category as in ICD-11, but the definition is now more detailed.The World Health Organization is about to embark on the development of evidence-based guidelines on mental well-being in the workplace. |
