Students interested in
stressful or DeoDle-oriented
careers will probably have
to contend with the potentially
dangerous emotional
problem of burnout, according
to Ruthann FoxHines,
a psychologist with
USC's Counseling and
Human Development
Centers.
Fox-Hines describes bumout
as a cluster of physical,
menta; and emotional
reactions resulting from
working in an emotionally
stressful situation. Nurses,
attorneys, teachers and
other helping professionals
, are most susceptible to

because of their frustration
about not being able to help
others as much as they
would like.
EFFECTS of burnout can
seriously hurt a worker's
effectiveness on the job,
according to Fox-Hines.
"Burnout can sometimes
cause a person toalmost hate
the people he is supposed to
be helping," she said.
Learning to deal with
burnout is the purpose of a
series of prevention
workshops Fox-Hines
i conducts. In the seminars,
she tries to help students

recognize burnout symptoms
in themselves. "The
earlier, the better, "she said.
Burnout symptoms range
from depression,
disillusionment and a sense
of hopelessness to emotional
exhaustion and physical
illness. These symptoms can
stem from internal and
external causes, Fox-Hines
said. Poor health habits and
perfectionism are examples
of internal sources of burnout,
she said.
"JOBS OH majors where
there are no choices and
very little flexibility are
external sources," said Fox
Hines. Another external
source of burnout is not
being acknowledged for the
good things a person does,
she said.
Fox-Hines said students
can cope with burnout in
several ways. They can
avoid the problem by
changing jobs or majors, she
said, or they can go to the
extreme and get physically
ill or turn to drugs or alcohol.
One of the most positive
methods of dealing with
burnout is using assertiveness
in changing a
situation, Fox-Hines said.
She advises good health
habits and stress
management as ways to deal
with burnout.

"ONE OF the best things
vou can do is to form a
support system, people ifi
your life to give you encouragement,"
she said.
Fox-Hines became involved
with burnout treatment
through personal
experience. "I overloaded
myself and ended up sick for
six weeks," she said. As a
result, she began reading
about burnout and went on to
get training in that area.
"The first person I applied
it (burnout treatment) to
was myself," she said.
She believes that teaching
burnout prevention is a good
way to help others.
"MY MAJOR goal is to
give a comprehensive picture
of what's Point* nn in
__ o O
stead of focusing on just one
tool." From the basic understanding
of burnout that
Fox-Hines teaches.a person
can go on to learn individual
aspects of burnout
prevention such as stress
management, relaxation
techniques and good
nutrition, Fox-Hines said.
