Abstract

Burnout in Residential Care Workers [RCWs] is a continuing issue contributing to poor quality of care for children and young people [CYP], poorer outcomes for those CYP, poor health in RCWs, high turnover and absenteeism and high costs to organisations as well as local authorities. This systematic review was conducted in order to understand associations with and protective factors against burnout. MEDLINE, PsychoINFO, CINAHL, Web of Sciences, Scopus and ASSIA were searched for relevant articles. Two raters independently quality assessed the included articles. Ten articles met inclusion criteria out of 1113, including seven cross-sectional studies and three longitudinal studies. A broad variety of forty-two individual and organisational factors were identified as potential risk and protective factors against burnout. This systematic review provides preliminary evidence for target factors for early prevention and intervention for treatment of burnout in RCWs. Limitations of the included studies, considerations for future research and implications of the results are discussed.
