Burnout and Perceived Stress among University Coaches in Lithuania: Romualdas M alinauskas , et al . Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education, LithuaniaObjective To investigate the associations between burnout, gender, working experience and perceived stress among university coaches in Lithuania. Methods A random sample of university coaches (N=203) was investigated (136 male and 67 female coaches; 131 coaches, with 10 yr or more work experience, and 72 coaches with less than 10 yr job experience). Two questionnaires—the Coach Burnout Questionnaire (CBQ) and Perceived Stress Scale—10 (PSS‐10)—were used. The statistical hypotheses were tested by the independent samples t ‐test and binary logistic regression analysis. Results Statistically significant differences at the 0.01 level for burnout among coaches with 10 yr or more (burnout average score and standard deviation 2.28 ± 0.42), and coaches, who less than 10 yr job experience (1.97 ± 0.35) were found. No differences were observed between males and females with regard to burnout. The odds ratio (OR) of perceived stress for burnout was 1.92; 95% CI 1.01–3.64. Conclusions Significant association between burnout and job experience of 10 yr or more as compared to less than 10 yr among the university coaches was observed. High levels of perceived stress among university coaches are significantly related to burnout.
