The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory [18] | Burnout | Two components: emotional exhaustion and disengagement. Mean scores of each component are calculated (and reverse scoring applied when necessary). | Cut off scores of ≥2.25 for exhaustion and a score ≥ 2.10 for disengagement were used to predict problematic burnout [30], and burnout was indicated if both scores were above the given values. |
Smith’s Brief Resilience Scale [6] | Resilience | Smith’s Brief Resilience scale consists of 6 items, 3 of which are reverse scored. The overall score is average of the six items. | 1.0–2.99 indicate low resilience, 3.0–4.30 normal resilience and 4.31 to 5 high resilience |
