Burnout can present as persistent work-related exhaustion, reduced mental efficiency, and emotional distancing from one’s job. The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess core burnout symptoms and commonly associated complaints.
The measure includes 32 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. It supports a structured review of burnout-related experiences over a recent period and can be used in clinical, occupational health, or organizational settings as part of a broader assessment.
Interpretation of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) should consider the individual’s work context, co-occurring stressors, and relevant medical or mental health factors; results are not diagnostic on their own. When elevated scores are observed, follow-up evaluation may be indicated to clarify functional impact and guide appropriate intervention planning.
