Family and organization roles in disaster risk reduction: Burnout reduction on workers

Abstract

Research and theories on the role of families and organizations in reducing disaster risk are still limited to home and corporate efforts on the physical aspects of disasters risks. Psychological factors are yet rarely addressed by families and organizations. This psychological factor can be the cause behind by the failure of the workforce in the industry and health personnel in the healthcare institution in implementing safe and careful work procedures, increasing disaster risks and disaster impacts. In turn, this can be caused by burnout, a psychological problem in the worker or health worker. This paper develops a conceptual framework to describe what steps can be taken by families and organizations in reducing burnout to workers and health workers. The concepts of work-family conflict and psychological therapies are introduced to explain burnout interventions that families and organizations can manage in the context of disaster risks and disaster impacts reduction.
