The inventory has 22 items, which are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale with anchors of 0 (never) and 4 (always). The MBI has three subscales: emotional burnout (9 items), desensitization (5 items), and low personal success (8 items

The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of internal consistency and concurrent validity was 0.91 for the original scale
