Session

Medicine and Nursing

Description

Burnout is defined as "a multidimensional construct composed of emotional fatigue, depersonalization, and personal achievement that occurs in people who work any job" (Maslach, 1982). According to the WHO the symptoms of burnout are lack of energy or exhaustion, increased isolation from work, feelings of negativity associated with work and decreased professional effectiveness. The main aim of this research is to identify the risk of burnout, through three components, such as fatigue, depersonalization, and personal achievement to the nurses of the Main Family Medicine Center in Rahovec. In this research 51 nurses of Main Family Medicine Center in Rahovec responded positively to the questionnaire, with an average age of 41.31 years. Of the total number of nurses, 35.3% were male and 64.7% were female. Of the respondents, 72.5% had completed secondary education, 23.5% had university education, while 4.0% had a master's degree. A self-administered questionnaire called Maslach Burnout Inventory (C. Maslach, S. Jackson, 1981) was used to conduct this research. The data were analyzed with the statistical package for social sciences, SPSS, version 21. Based on the descriptive data we can conclude that nurses show no symptoms of burnout, have no loss of sensitivity, and are satisfied with their personal achievements. While by correlation we understand that we have a moderate negative correlation between the level of education and the fatigue component (r = -. 312 *, p = .026). Also, a moderate positive correlation was found between the fatigue component and the ward in which they work (r = .284 *, p = .044).
