Background: Burnout syndrome (BOS) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. This study aims to create the Korean version burnout syndrome scale (KBOSS) that conforms to WHO¡¯s definition of BOS and present the cut-off points for screening.
Methods: We developed the KBOSS based on WHO¡¯s definition of BOS. An online survey was conducted through a specialized online research company. We recruited 444 workers for this research. The validity of the KBOSS was assessed using factor analysis and Pearson¡¯s correlation. The KBOSS reliability was assessed using Cronbach¡¯s alpha coefficient. The cut-off points for each of the three dimensions were derived using the upper quartile score.
Results: The validity and reliability of the KBOSS were good. Regarding reliability, the scale¡¯s overall Cronbach¡¯s alpha was 0.813. Cronbach¡¯s alpha of each three-dimension was as follows: exhaustion, 0.916; cynicism, 0.865; and professional inefficacy, 0.819. The cut-off points of BOS three dimensions are exhaustion ? 21; cynicism ? 18; and inefficacy ? 15.
Conclusion: The developed questionnaire (KBOSS) can be a useful tool for screening of BOS.
