Due to the nature of the profession the individual often experiences chronic stress which can be emotionally draining and poses the risk for burnout. Maslach and Jackson define burnout “as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion and cynicism that occurs frequently among individuals who do ‘people-work’ of some kind” (p. 99).
