过劳和抑郁有很多重叠之处你知道吗

Burnout and depression: Two entities or one?

过劳和抑郁是一回事吗？

Burnout and depression overlap considerably, according to the latest study on the subject led by psychology Professor Irvin S. Schonfeld of The City College of New York’s Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and his colleague, Renzo Bianchi, of the Institute of Work and Organizational Psychology, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland.

最新研究表明：过劳和抑郁有很多重叠之处。这份研究由心理学教授Irvin S.Schonfeld（来自纽约市立大学科林鲍威尔公民和全球领导学院），和他的同事Renzo Bianchi(来自瑞士纳沙泰尔大学工作与组织心理学研究所)。

The findings are based on a survey taken by 1,386 public school teachers, from pre-K to 12th grade across the United States, including New York, during the 2013-14 academic year.

研究采纳了2013-2014学年全美国（含纽约）1386位公共学校教师的调查，这些老师的来自幼儿园学前班至12年级。

Based on their responses to a burnout measure, the teachers were categorized as belonging to either a burnout or no-burnout group. Less than one percent of the no-burnout group met criteria for a provisional diagnosis of depression, whereas 86 percent of the burnout group met these criteria.

基于教师们对于“过劳”测试的反应，他们被分为过劳组合非过劳组。研究者们对教师们的抑郁状态进行临时测试，在非过劳组中，不到1%的人符合抑郁的标准，而过劳组中，86%的人符合该标准。

In addition, the teachers in the burnout group were about three times as likely to have a history of depression and almost four times as likely to be currently taking antidepressant medication. Teachers in the burnout group were also more than twice as likely to report a history of anxiety disorders. When burnout and depression were treated as continuous dimensions, they were very highly correlated.

此外，过劳组的教师们曾经有3次服用抗抑郁药物的阶段，并且几乎所有人都正在第4次服用抗抑郁药物。过劳组的教师们还反应他们至少有过两次抑郁症病史。当将过劳和抑郁视作连续相关、处于不同程度的状态，我们会发现二者关系非常密切。

“Our purpose was not to determine the prevalence of burnout or depressive symptoms in a representative sample of teachers,”explain Schonfeld and Bianchi.“Our analytic purpose was to determine the extent to which burnout and depression overlap, both dimensionally and categorically.”

“我们研究的目的并非要通过一部分富有代表性的教师，就断定过劳和抑郁是普遍现象。”Schonfeld和Bianchi解释道：“我们此项研究分析的目的是从程度和症状分类，测定过劳和抑郁的相关性。”

Entitled,“Burnout and Depression: Two Entities or One?”the study appears in the“The Journal of Clinical Psychology.”

这篇研究报道发布在《临床心理学杂志》（美国，本文发布于该杂志71卷，2015年12期）。
