Prominent work-related psychosocial risk factors affecting the onset of burnout are high job demands, low job control, tense social relationships at work, injustice at work, and low rewards. The most frequently reported stressors are quantitative and emotional demands at work and private relational conflicts, with similar patterns for women and men. Multiple stressors, including work and non-work stressors, are considered important in the onset of SED. Cognitive impairments such as problems with memory and executive functions are other commonly reported symptoms. The prevalence of mental and somatic symptoms is high irrespective of gender, age or education. Mental symptoms such as burnout, anxiety and depression, and somatic symptoms such as nausea and headaches are reported frequently in patients with SED. SED is characterized by pronounced physical and mental exhaustion as a consequence of at least six months of identifiable stressors. In Sweden, stress-induced exhaustion disorder or exhaustion disorder (SED) (SED F43.8A, ICD-10-SE) is classified as an illness and the diagnosis is used in Swedish healthcare practice. ĭefinition of burnout varies between countries. Burnout may lead to impaired quality of life for the individual through withdrawal, isolation and discrimination. Work-related stress and burnout are common throughout Europe, have an increased risk for long-term sick leave, and increasing costs for society.
