Association Between Burnout and Insomnia in U.S. Air Force Pararescue Personnel: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Recently, a growing number of studies have examined burnout and its impact on health. In particular, burnout has been shown to have an influence on sleep, which has clinical and organizational implications. Surprisingly, no published studies have examined the relationship between burnout and insomnia in a military sample. The United States Air Force (USAF)Pararescue personnel are an elite combat force who are specially trained to conduct both first line combat and full spectrum personnel recovery. Thus, these individual are at high risk of exposure to psychological stressors and trauma, as well as burnout and insomnia. We examined the association between burnout and insomnia in this population, as well as moderators of this association. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 203 Pararescue personnel (Mean Age=32.1 years; 100% Male; 90.1% Caucasian) recruited from six bases in the US. The survey included demographics questions, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II), and Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory Support (DRRI-S).
