520 |a Research studies by Selye, Sarason and Machlowitz indicate that the “burnout syndrome” is neither as novel nor as prevalent as popular journalistic writers suggest. This mailed questionnaire survey was made at the request of the American Bishops who are concerned about the health and welfare of the overburdened clergy. The data from the national sample of 4,660 Catholic priests (both diocesan and religious) reveal that a minority of 6.2% may be termed “candidates” for burnout. They fit this category because they report being regularly overworked and also experiencing a great deal of emotional stress. The men most likely to fit this definition are diocesan parish priests in their mid-fifties who exhibit a high incidence of tension, worry and anxiety, have more physical ailments than other priests, are overweight and do not get enough physical exercise or restful sleep. The comparative statistics of this study clearly demonstrate, however, that the great majority of American Catholic priests are in good health of mind and body.
