Here, we investigated the central auditory processing and attentional control associated with both recovery and prolongation of occupational burnout. We recorded the event-related brain potentials N1, P2, mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3a to nine changes in speech sounds and to three rarely presented emotional (happy, angry and sad) utterances from individuals with burnout (N = 16) and their matched controls (N = 12). After the 5 years follow-up, one control had acquired burnout, half (N = 8) of the burnout group had recovered, and the other half (prolonged burnout) still had burnout. The processing of acoustical changes in speech sounds was mainly intact. Prolongation of the burnout was associated with a decrease in MMN amplitude and an increase in P3a amplitude for the happy stimulus. The results suggest that, in the absence of interventions, burnout is a persistent condition, associated with alterations of attentional control, that may be amplified with the prolongation of the condition.

职业倦怠中的听觉异常检测和非自愿注意力分配——一项后续研究

在这里，我们调查了与职业倦怠的恢复和延长相关的中枢听觉处理和注意力控制。我们记录了与事件相关的脑电位 N1、P2、错配负性 (MMN) 和 P3a 到语音的 9 种变化和 3 种很少出现的情绪（快乐、愤怒和悲伤）来自倦怠个体 ( N  = 16) 和他们的匹配对照（N  = 12）。经过 5 年的随访，一名对照组出现倦怠，一半（N = 8) 倦怠组已恢复，而另一半（长期倦怠）仍有倦怠。语音的声学变化的处理主要是完整的。倦怠的延长与 MMN 幅度的降低和快乐刺激的 P3a 幅度的增加有关。结果表明，在没有干预的情况下，倦怠是一种持续存在的状况，与注意力控制的改变有关，这种状况可能会随着病情的延长而加剧。
