RISK OF BURNOUT SYNDROME IN HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Burn out syndrome is the most common diseases caused physical disharmony and psychical exhaustion especially at workers in health and social services. It is usually connected with negative attitudes toward their job, their co-workers, and seniors depended on their help services. Methods: The research analysis of the risk of burnout syndrome in health and social service provided by seniors in Social Care Centres. The research is based on the dimensions of the standardized MBI questionnaire - The Maslach Burnout Inventory to identify the relationship between the dimensions of burn out syndrome and demographic and social aspects. Results: The research results have shown that there is strong correlation between the dimensions of burnout syndrome and level of practical experiences in the health care and social services (p=0,001). Workers working in social services for less than 5 years have shown a burnout score in a moderate sense of personal unfulfillment (63.1%) to a greater extent than those working in a social service facility under 10 years (27.4%). Discussion: We figured out that there are differences between three dimensions of burnout syndrome including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment/fulfillment and level of burnout in these dimensions (p=0.019) at workers in health care and social services.
