Summary:
Abstract
Introduction: Burnout is a situation experienced by many employees in key
positions, such as health professionals, resulting in mental and physical problems that
affect their quality of life. Especially in recent years, the escalation of the financial
crisis makes the problem of burnout obvious and proves the need to address the
problem.
Purpose: The aim of the research is to investigate burnout in the field of health
considering the views of health professionals themselves.
Method: The answers of 141 health professionals, private and public body were
collected for conducting the research. The questionnaire was the research tool used to
collect the data, which consisted of a) socio-demographic data, b) Maslach Burnout
Inventory (MBI), c) Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, d) Interpersonal Reactivity
Index (IRI), Brief Assessment of Psychological Skills (COPE), f) Improvised
questions about the possible impact of the financial crisis and the Index of Personal
Financial Difficulty.
Results: The results of the research showed that factors such as gender (p <0.05),
employer (p <0.05), age (p <0.05), years of service (p <0.05) and the department in
which they work health professionals (p = 0.040 <0.05), affects burnout and their
ability to cope with the difficulties they face in the workplace.
Conclusion: The special characteristics of the psychosynthesis of health professionals
as well as their constant burden in the long run affect the occupational exhaustion they
express.
