How to use the BAT in practice?
Before you use the BAT in practice, it is important to have some rules of thumb in the
keep mind.
Rule of thumb 1. No diagnosis of burnout
BAT sets no diagnosis of burnout, but is a measure of burnout symptoms.
Therefore, we always refer below to "the degree of burn-out 'rather than to' burn-
out 'in itself. The manual is about to read next.
"Of course there can only and exclusively on the basis of the BAT no burnout
be diagnosed. This requires comprehensive assessment with
including a case history and diagnostic interview by a dedicated
trained professional. The BAT can be a valuable tool in
individual his assessment process. "
BAT Manual - Version 1.3, p. 94
A rule of thumb 2. The lumbar l of differ versions of the BAT
BAT can be used both for individual purchase groupwise
decrease. Whether you decrease the BAT individually or in a group, you can
also choose between two versions:
• Work-related version of the BAT
This version is specifically aimed at ' Workers'. The questions refer whatsoever
specific to their workplace.
• Overall, context-free version of the BAT
This version is specifically aimed at ' those currently not working
to be'. Because they are absent for long periods of work, they have no or
binding hardly any more. Except for the scale 'mental
distance 'statements refer not in the workplace.
In addition, questions about the secondary symptoms always context-free.
4
Rule of thumb 3. BAT measuring burnout symptoms
BAT measuring burnout symptoms and not the causes or consequences. For this
are other questionnaires - eg. The Energy Compass ( found in
Appendix 1 of this manual) or Short Psychological Inventory to Monitor
hazards ( SIMPH; Notelaers, White, Van Veldhoven & Vermunt, 2007).
In addition, BAT is not suitable for making a differential diagnosis. Through
Just to take the BAT no distinction can be made between burn-
Out on the one hand and depression, enthusiasm, workaholism, and other perceptions
work on the other. Before you need to use separate questionnaires that
Measuring concepts like the 4DSQ (Terluin, 1996), Uwe (Schaufeli & Baker, 2004)
DUWAS (Schaufeli et al., 2011).
1. completing the BAT
Completing the BAT is simple and takes up to 5 minutes. BAT
a paper-and-pencil "questionnaire, so no online tool. You can of course itself
choose to integrate BAT in your digital environment and program
as an online tool which allows participants automatically get to see their score.
Depending on the goal you have in mind (eg. Support for diagnosis,
use in groups, etc.), it may be desirable for certain terms in the BAT (e.g.
' Burnout Assessment Tool ' or ' exhaustion) not to mention. As in the manual
Indeed, this can be described by the respondent (s) have a negative connotation
calls.
"Due to the fact that the term 'burnout' among respondents usually
evokes a negative connotation, this term is not included in the title of the
questionnaire. Instead, it is the neutral 'research work perception "(or
'Mental perception "for general release) is used."
Therefore you will find in this manual a fill-in version of the BAT without
indication of the title or names of the dishes.
5
1.1. Instruction
There are two instructions depending on the version used. The difference between
both is in reference to the work.
Work-related version
The following statements relate to * how to experience your work and how you
thereby feels. Please indicate how often each statement applies to you by
always tick the most appropriate answer.
* Note: You can also choose 'you' instead of 'you'.
General release
The following statements relate to * how you feel. Please indicate how
often each statement applies to you by getting the most appropriate response
tick.
* Note: You can also choose 'you' instead of 'you'.
1.2. scoring
The statements in both versions are assessed in the same way:
Never Rarely Sometimes Often Always
1 2 3 4 5
1.3. The questions
The BAT contains 5 dimensions, in the form of sub-scales.
• Four core dimensions each with four shells ( exhaustion, mental detachment,
cognitive disorder, emotional disturbance) which separately or together counted
can be interpreted.
• One secondary dimension consisting of two scales ( psychic
stress symptoms and psychosomatic stress symptoms) which ever
aggregated and as a single unit to be interpreted.
6
Figure 1: The structure of the BAT
How many bowls you decrease depends on the goal you have in mind. In the
guide we read about.
"The BAT total score can be used to determine the degree of burnout
set, while the scores for the four core dimensions, possibly supplemented with
Secondary symptoms may further refine this. such
Differentiation will be particularly important for individual diagnostic use
BAT. "
Wish you so only the degree of burnout 2 fix, you have enough to
the average score combined for the four core dimensions. Do you want a lake
differentiated image, you can also make a separate assessment for each
the five dimensions (four core dimensions and one secondary dimension).
2 Technically, this concerns "the degree of burnout symptoms, but to make as simple as possible this manual, we talk about" the degree of burn-out '

1.4. Interpretation
While completing the BAT takes only 5 minutes, requires
correct interpretation of course more time.
As mentioned above, you may, depending on your goal, different scores
calculate and interpret. The manual is about following explanation.
"The average scale scores of the BAT scales are calculated by the
scores on scale all the items by adding to one another and dividing by the number of
Items from which the respective shell is made. If scoring categories
are used: 1 'never', 2 'rarely', 3 'sometimes', 4 'often' and 5 'always'. Which
means that the value of the scale scores ranging from 1 t / m 5. Due to the
BAT score on all items or counting and dividing by 23 the total score
obtained, which also lies between 1 and 5. The same applies to 10
secondary symptoms. "
In essence, you must calculate an average score every time - which always between 1 and
5 is - before you can interpret it. On the basis of the fictitious respondents
X, Y and Z we explain this below.
Step 1. The average score (s) calculate
• If you want to determine the degree of burnout, So you take the total score on the
four core dimensions
O First you count on every score on each question
respondent X Y Z
Total score (TOTAL - NUCLEAR) 55 60 75
11
O Thereafter we divide this by the number of questions - in this case 23 - and
We conclude on two decimal places.
respondent X Y Z
Average (TOTAL - NUCLEAR) 2:39 2.61 3:26
• If you want a more differentiated picture, you need for each
five dimensions to separately calculate an average score
O You hereby follows the same steps as above. First you count the score
each question for the relevant dimension and v ubsequently share your
that score by the number of questions that dimension.
Dimension Mental Exhaustion emotional cognitive Secondary

distance disruption disruption symptoms
Number of 8 4 or 5 * 5 5 10
questions
Note: * The global version of this dimension BAT has only four questions.
O Take for example the dimension exhaustion
• Then we add the score of each question in this dimension.
respondent X Y Z
Total score (EXHAUSTION) 20 25 28
• Because depletion contains eight questions, go so each score parts
by eight.
respondent X Y Z
Average (EXHAUSTION) 2:50 3:13 3:50
Step 2. Interpreting the average score (s)
You can average score (s) you calculated in step 1 in various ways
interpret. You can choose standard or limits 3.
3 More information about the distinction between norms and values can be found in the manual BAT under Part III: Practical Use
12
• Choose for standards then compare your score (s) the average Flemish
or Dutch workforce. There are thereby four categories: low,
medium, high and Very high. "Low" means that the corresponding score
with the 25% lowest scoring Flemish or Dutch workers, and 'high'
that it corresponds to the 25% highest scoring employees.
O Standards are interesting because they provide information about how the score
of an individual or a group is related with respect to a certain
reference and therefore are often interesting for example. Organizations
wanting to know if they 'scored better or worse than the norm.
O The disadvantage However, they do not know or really score
is "problematic". So you can eg. High scores relative to
Flemish average worker without a problem this score
forms.
• Choose for limits then compare your score (s) in patients with
severe burnout symptoms.
O Limits are therefore of interest because they indicate when one
"Problematic" scores: score one too high or not? They therefore play
an important role in individual clinical diagnosis.
O Based limits are three categories,
analogously to a traffic light: green ( no risk of burn-out) Orange
(Risk of burn-out) or red ( very high risk of burn-out).
For the work-related version of the BAT are there standards ( Flanders &
Netherlands) and limits ( Flanders) available. For the overall
version of the BAT there are only limits ( Flanders) available. Others
norms and values are under development.
• Standards employed in Flanders

• In concrete terms this means that respondent X, as regards the extent
burnout to the Flemish population
average scores, where respondent Y and Z, relative to
Flemish population, high to score. That is to say,
Y and Z belong to the group of 25% highest scoring working
Flemings (and thus 75% of the Flemish workers lower
scores).
2. Want to define a differentiated picture, then we look at Table 1

• In concrete terms this means that respondent X concerning exhaustion
to the Flemish population average scores,
while respondent Y and Z with respect to the Flemish
labor force high to score. In other words, 75% of the
Flemish workers have a lower score.

• Standards for workers in Netherlands
The standards for the Netherlands you interpret in the same way as for Flanders
just so you compare this with the Dutch population (see Table 2).

• In concrete terms this means that respondent X in the green zone
is so no risk On burnout, respondent Y
contrast is in the Orange zone, and it passes a
risk burnout, while respondent Z in the red zone
and is therefore a very high risk runs on burnout.

BAT can be used both for individual purchase groupwise

also choose between two versions:

• Work-related version of the BAT

specific to their workplace.

• Overall, context-free version of the BAT

This version is specifically aimed at ' those currently not working

distance 'statements refer not in the workplace.

In addition, questions about the secondary symptoms always context-free.

Rule of thumb 3. BAT measuring burnout symptoms

are other questionnaires - eg. The Energy Compass ( found in

Appendix 1 of this manual) or Short Psychological Inventory to Monitor

hazards ( SIMPH; Notelaers, White, Van Veldhoven & Vermunt, 2007).

In addition, BAT is not suitable for making a differential diagnosis. Through
