 The objective of this study was to develop a new tool, the burnout assessment tool, BAT, which could accurately identify individuals suffering from burnout. The BAT consisted of four subscales, exhaustion, mental distancing, and emotional and cognitive impairment. The tool was tested on three different populations, each consisting of approximately 1,300 participants. The results showed that the BAT had high diagnostic accuracy when compared to existing tools, with the exception of the mental distancing subscale. This subscale had lower diagnostic accuracy than the others, but it still had acceptable levels of accuracy. Additionally, the BAT was able to accurately distinguish between individuals with mild or moderate burnout and those with severe burnout. These findings suggest that the BAT may be useful in both organizational surveys and clinical treatment settings. This article was authored by Wilmar B. Shofeli, Hans DeWitt, Yari J.
