The Bridge Burnout Indicator distinguishes between 4 dimensions when mapping burnout. The first dimension is 'general tiredness’. People who score high on this have no energy and feel physically exhausted. The second dimension is ‘mental distance from work'. Clients who score high on this sometimes even withdraw physically and avoid contacts with others, such as colleagues. The third dimension is 'cognitive overload'. People with high scores on this dimension find clear thinking and learning new things difficult. The fourth and final dimension is 'emotional overload'. People with a high score on this dimension have a low tolerance limit and quickly feel frustrated and irritated, which can cause an extra violent reaction. These 4 scores together form a burn-out score.
