Emotional Disonnance, Burnout, and In-role Performance Among Nurses and Police Officers
The articles touch on two studies -101 police officers and 108 nurses tested the suggestion that "emotionally demanding" connections with recipients can result to emotional dissonance that may in turn, lead to impaired performance and job burnout. Additionally, the authors foresee that "emotional dissonance" would be unconstructively related to in-role performance in terms of its association with burnout.

The article centers on a present study that looks at the connections of "posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms" to "subclinical cardiovascular disease" in police officers.
