The present research expands this idea by investigating how verbally formulated action–effect ... -

Utbrenthet og mestringstro blant psykologer
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-08)Utbrenthet som en stressreaksjon til økende krav i arbeidslivet, seg selv og samfunnet generelt har i de siste årene kommet mer på agendaen, både som forskningstema og i media. Utbrenthet som fenomen i samfunnet ser ut til å ha økt og det tandrere til å være relatert i større grad til yrker som omhandler følelser og hvor sosial nærkontakt med andre mennesker er mer sentralt (Kvam, 2020). Forskning ... -

Utfordringer på doktorgradsveien. Faktorer som kan forebygge eller øke stress hos doktorgradsstudenter
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-08-01)Av doktorgradsstudenter på norske universiteter, er det en fjerdedel som ikke fullfører innen normert tid. Det er lite forskning på hvorfor det er slik i Norge. Å øke gjennomstrømningen vil være nyttig for stipendiaten og har samfunnsøkonomisk gevinst. Denne studien har sett på faktorer som kan virke inn på engasjement og utbrenthet hos norske doktorgradsstudenter. Økt engasjement og mindre utbrenthet ... -
