Background.
Stigma related to mental illness can be an obstacle affecting the quality of life of people with mental illness.
Although mental illness in the workplace is a public problem globally, few studies have investigated the effect of stigma on job-related problems such as burnout.
Aim.
This study aimed to clarify the association between mental-illness-related stigma and burnout among nonprofessional occupational mental health staff.
Methods.
In this cross-sectional study, nonprofessional occupational mental health staff’s perceived mental-illness-related stigma was assessed using Link’s Devaluation-Discrimination Scale, and their burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory.
The association between stigma and burnout was analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis.
Results.
In total, 282 participants completed the questionnaire (response rate: 91.3%).
We excluded 54 nurses from the analysis to examine strictly nonprofessional occupational mental health staff.
Finally, 228 eligible respondents were surveyed.
Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that mental-illness-related stigma was significantly associated with a high degree of depersonalization, which was one of the burnout dimensions.
However, the impact of stigma over the depersonalization domain of burnout was minor.
Conclusion.
The results suggest that higher perceived mental-illness-related stigma is associated with more severe burnout.
It is important to take measures against mental-illness-related stigma to avoid burnout among occupational mental health staff.
