Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	For considerable time, there has been growing concern about work stress and its impact on radiographers and other healthcare professionals. At the same time, studies have recognized that some personal traits may prevent work-related tension from becoming stress-related health problems. The present study examined the relationship between occupational stress and burnout in hospital-employed radiographers and whether personality hardiness moderated the stress-burnout relationship. The specific hypotheses of the study were: (1) burnout would correlate positively with occupational stress and that an inverse relationship would exist between personality hardiness and burnout; and (2) hardiness would be a moderator for stress, that is, personality hardiness would reduce the stress-burnout relationship, particularly at higher levels of stress. Ninety-five registered radiographers employed at eight hospitals in Connecticut completed three questionnaires that assessed sources of stress, personality hardiness and burnout. A hierarchical (forward) linear regression indicated that both stress and personality hardiness were significant predictors of burnout. As hypothesized, burnout was positively associated with higher levels of occupational stress and negatively correlated with higher levels of personality hardiness. To test the second hypothesis, a hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the stress-hardiness interaction. No evidence of an interaction was found, thus the study did not provide support for the stress buffering effect of hardiness. Additional analyses revealed that one of the three dimensions of hardiness, commitment to work, was the only variable to account for significant amount of variance across levels of burnout. Implications of these results were discussed in terms of recent changes in healthcare services and how hardiness training, work support and coping strategies could be resources for managing work stress and burnout.
