Abstract
The term „occupational burnout” is used to define mental an emotional exhaustion, especially due to a long term exposure to stress. Studies show that occupational burnout is typically found in such professions as: physicians, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists and social workers. In women, occupational burnout is manifested by emotional exhaustion. The objective of the study was to assess the level of life and job satisfaction among female physiotherapists, with particular reference to occupational burnout phenomenon. The sample included 30 female physiotherapists and the control group was composed of 30 female pharmacists. The research tools included Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LSQ) and Burnout Scale Inventory (BSI). Statistical analysis was based on arithmetic means, standard deviations (SD) and the significance of differences between the mean values obtained from each occupational group. Significance level was established using Student’s-t test. The results indicate differences in the global life satisfaction score between the study and control groups. The studied female physiotherapists were diagnosed with chronic fatigue, requiring prompt preventive measures.

Abstract

Aim of the study. Burnout is a phenomenon which affects many professions, which are based not only on disturbed man-labor relations, close interpersonal relationships, but first of all are based on specific approach to another human being, requiring patience, empathy and commitment. Despite many scientific studies there is no clear solution to the problem of burnout in medical professions, which is a problem underrated and extremely important, especially from the patient’s point of view.
Material and methods. Presented study was designed to determine the prevalence and the level of burnout among medical professionals: doctors, physiotherapists, nurses and midwives. Among 209 medical professionals, evaluation of the level of depersonalization, emotional exhaustion and a sense of their own achievements, using the original questionnaire: Burnout Questionnaire MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) by Ch. Maslach has been carried out.
Results. The results showed that the highest percentage of burn out in employees was noted among doctors and nurses. In addition, it was found that the severity of burnout cases among medical staff depends on the specific clinical department, age of the respondents and years worked in the profession.
Conclusions. Results of this study do not allow to definite unequivocal conclusions, however, these results are encouraging enough to continue studies in this field of study in a much wider population of representatives of various professional groups.
