Abstract

Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the level of occupational burnout and the relationship between occupational burnout and characteristics of the work environment in a group of psychiatric nurses.
Material and methods. The study was conducted in a group of 100 nurses (94 women, 6 men) working in psychiatric wards in the Masovian Voivodeship. Variables were assessed using the proprietary sociodemographic questionnaire and the following questionnaires: Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ), Psychosocial Working Conditions, part III – Scale of psychosocial support, as well as the Scale of Psychosocial Risk, part D – Healthcare.
Results. All the results in the individual areas of occupational burnout were on an average level. Both the prevalence of psychosocial risks in the workplace and their stress induction were higher than the average score for indicators according to the standards for the health sector. The relationship between psychosocial factors and the areas of occupational burnout as well as received social support and the level of occupational burnout was revealed.
Conclusions. Occupational burnout in the group of psychiatric nurses relates primarily to the lack of commitment to relationships with patients and psychophysical exhaustion. The level of occupational burnout in psychiatric nurses depends on the characteristics of their work environment. Social support in the work environment reduces the risk of burnout in the group of psychiatric nurses. There is a need to identify the characteristics of the work environment that determine burnout in physiotherapists.

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.
