What is Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI)
The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is a trusted tool for measuring severe fatigue. It helps experts spot exhaustion in both work and personal life settings. Unlike older scales that mix in attitude, the CBI focuses strictly on physical and psychological fatigue. It splits burnout into three specific domains to pinpoint exactly where the stress comes from. The assessment covers personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout. This smart setup lets you use it for anyone, not just care workers. Respondents answer 19 items using a simple frequency scale ranging from always to never. Since it is in the public domain, the CBI is free to use and easy to adapt for different workplaces. Scoring is straightforward because you simply average the points. It shows strong reliability across cultures, making it a top choice for checking employee health and planning practical support.
The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory can be scored using one main approach focusing on mean scores across three subscales. First, you convert frequency responses into numbers: Always is 100, Often is 75, Sometimes is 50, Seldom is 25, and Never is 0. Then, you calculate the average for Personal, Work related, and Client related burnout dimensions. If fewer than three questions are answered per scale, that score is invalid. It's a straightforward way to spot high burnout levels in staff without needing complex maths.
