초록

In the present study, we conducted a meta-analysis with 36 relevant studies, composed of 9,729 participants, to examine the relationships between various coping strategies and 3 dimensions of burnout symptoms. Results revealed that problem-focused coping correlated negatively with 3 dimensions of burnout symptoms, whereas emotion-focused coping correlated positively with the 3 dimensions. Whereas seeking social support, reappraisal, and religious copings among emotional coping strategies were negatively related to burnout symptoms, acceptance was positively related to burnout symptoms. The results of moderation analysis suggest that types of vocation affected the relationships between coping strategies and burnout symptoms. We discuss the implications for future research and for the amelioration of burnout.
