  "summary": "Measuring exhaustion can make a difficulty visible. It is not enough to establish a diagnosis or determine what management should change.",

      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Christina Maslach, Wilmar B."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Why the overlap with depression complicates interpretation",
      "point": "Renzo Bianchi, Irvin Sam Schonfeld and Eric Laurent (2015, Clinical Psychology Review) examine the overlap between burnout and depression and question how clearly the two can be distinguished."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that a high score calls for stress management training, or that a reassuring average score removes the need to intervene."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The limits of questionnaire-based prevention",
      "point": "Neither review evaluates a prevention protocol in organisations in Berne, so neither establishes how effective such a protocol would be."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Berne",
      "point": "As part of SHR’s « Risques psychosociaux » programme, a Berne-based team in the federal administration, public health, telecommunications or precision industry could test a follow-up register of work difficulties identified through a collective discussion, without recording individual health data."
