Personal, work and even client-related burnout are highly predominant among artisans and linked to their stress-related experiences. The present study aimed to ascertain the efficacy of a rational emotive behaviour therapy program in reducing burnout among building construction and mechanical trade artisans, using a randomized controlled trial design. One hundred and twenty-five building construction and mechanical trade artisans randomly assigned to either a treatment intervention or no-intervention group participated in the study. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was administered to participants at Time 1 (pretest), Time 2 (posttest), and Time 3 (follow-up). Results of repeated measures analysis of variance demonstrated a significant reduction in mean burnout among artisans in the treatment group after the 10-week REBT program. In contrast, the control group did not experience any significant mean burnout reduction. Furthermore, at follow-up, the mean decrease in burnout score among artisans in the treatment group was significantly maintained. In conclusion, the rational emotive behaviour intervention significantly reduced the burnout score of building construction and mechanical trade artisans and sustained it.

个人，工作乃至与客户相关的倦怠在工匠中非常普遍，并与他们与压力相关的经历有关。本研究旨在使用随机对照试验设计，确定合理的情绪行为治疗计划在减少建筑施工和机械行业工匠的倦怠中的功效。随机分配到治疗干预组或无干预组的一百二十五个建筑施工和机械贸易工匠参加了该研究。在时间1（前测），时间2（后测）和时间3（跟进）对参与者进行了哥本哈根倦怠量表的管理。重复测量方差分析的结果表明，经过10周的REBT计划后，治疗组中工匠的平均倦怠显着降低。相比之下，对照组的平均倦怠没有明显降低。此外，在随访中，治疗组中工匠的倦怠评分平均下降得以保持。总之，合理的情绪行为干预可显着降低建筑结构和机械贸易工匠的倦怠评分，并将其维持下去。
