Alanyazındaki araştırmaların sonuçları, işin doğası gereği psikolojik danışmanların tükenmişlik yaşadıklarını göstermektedir. Psikolojik danışmanların tükenmişliklerini önleyebilmek için, onu belirleyen değişkenlerin çalışılması önemli görünmektedir. Alanyazında bu konu farklı demografik ve psikolojik değişkenlerle çalışılmış ise de iyilik hali değişkeni ile ilgili Türkiye’de yapılmış çalışmaya rastlanamamıştır. O nedenle bu araştırmada psikolojik danışmanların iyilik hallerinin onların tükenmişliklerini yordayıp yordamadığı sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Bu amaçla okullarda çalışan toplam 147 psikolojik danışmana ulaşılarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği (MTÖ) ve İyilik Hali Yıldızı Ölçeği (İHYÖ) aracılığı ile veri toplanmıştır. MTÖ, duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarı olmak üzere üç alt boyuta sahiptir., İHYÖ ise sosyal, bilişsel, duygusal, fiziksel ve yaşamı anlamlandırma ve hedef odaklı olma (YAHOO) biçiminde beş alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde aşamalı regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Regresyon çalışması sonucuna göre iyilik hali ölçeğinin toplam puanı ile sosyal, bilişsel, duygusal ve YAHOO alt boyutlarının tükenmişliğin farklı boyutlarını yordadığı anlaşılmaktadır. İHYÖ’nün toplam puanı tükenmişliğin üç alt boyutunu da yordamaktadır. İHYÖ’nün alt boyutları açısından bakıldığında sosyal iyilik halinin duygusal tükenmeyi; duygusal iyilik halinin duyarsızlaşmayı ve YAHOO ile bilişsel iyilik hali alt boyutlarının ise kişisel başarıyı yordadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bulgular alanyazına göre tartışılmış, yeni araştırmalar ve uygulamalar için bazı öneriler sunulmuştur.

The Relationship Between Wellness and Burnout in School Counselors

Öz

The results of the studies in the literature show that counselors experience burnout due to the nature of their work. In order to prevent burnout in counselors, it seems important to study the variables that determine it. Although this issue has been studied with different demographic and psychological variables in the literature, no study has been found in Turkey regarding the wellness variable. Therefore, this study sought an answer to the question of whether the wellness of counselors predicts their burnout. For this purpose, a total of 147 school counselors were reached and data were collected through the Personal Information Form, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Well Star Scale (WSS). MBI has three sub-dimensions: emotional exhaustion, desensitization and personal accomplishment. WSS consists of five sub-dimensions: social, cognitive, emotional, physical and life meaning and goal orientation (LMGO). Stepwise regression analysis was used in the analysis of data. According to the results of the regression study, it is understood that the total score of the WSS and the sub-dimensions of social, cognitive, emotional and LMGO predict different dimensions of burnout. The total score of the WSS predicts all three sub-dimensions of burnout. When examined in terms of the sub-dimensions of the WSS, it is understood that social wellness predicts emotional exhaustion; emotional wellness predicts desensitization and the sub-dimensions of LMGO and cognitive wellness predict personal accomplishment. The findings are discussed according to the literature and some suggestions are presented for new research and applications.
