Nevertheless, we consider that the strength of this study lies in the work carried out with a broad and multi-occupational sample of employees in at-risk occupations with face-to-face personal contacts, in jobs with very different characteristics, which allows our conclusions to be generalized.
A cross-sectional design was used on a multi-occupational sample of randomly selected university employees (n = 826).
A cross-sectional study was carried out on a multi-occupational sample of randomly selected university employees (n = 409).
Still, this is a broad and multi-occupational sample made up of workers with very diverse jobs, which reinforces the possibility of generalization.
The study population consisted of all employees of the University of Zaragoza working in January 2008 N=5,4933), in order to make up a multi-occupational group in jobs of a very different nature.
We recruited a multi-occupational group of workers in diverse positions; all employees of the University of Zaragoza who were employed as of January 2008 (N = 5,493) were used as the universal reference population.
With regard to study strengths, we refer to the broad multi-occupational sample of employees in a very diverse range of jobs who were at risk of developing burnout due to the nature of workplace personal contacts.
By using a multi-occupational sample of university employees, EFA and CFA were performed on different sub-samples, a ROC curve analysis was carried out with the MBI-GS as a standard criterion and a contrast of hypotheses was made for both models with respect to sex and occupation.
We consider that one strength of this study lies in the fact that the work was carried out with a broad and multi-occupational sample of university employees in positions with very different characteristics, which reinforces the possibility of generalising our conclusions.
In this article, we describe the design of an RCT and cost-effectiveness analysis of a multi-stage protocol roughly consisting of two interventions: an occupational intervention and a Graded Activity intervention.
Occupational hazards, I suppose.
