Keywords:
burnout syndrome, nurses, stress control, job satisfactionAbstract
In the last ten years, burnout syndrome has become a significant psychosocial problem caused by unsuccessfully managed chronic stress in the workplace. Burnout syndrome is increasingly recognized among healthcare professionals, and it is estimated that burnout may affect 10–70% of nurses and 30–50% of doctors and medical assistants.
Objective of the research: To assess the degree of burnout syndrome in nurses at the workplace.
Material and Methods: The research was conducted on July 15, 2021. until 15.08.2021. by filling out the Maslach Burnout Inventory - MBI for burnout syndrome. The research included 120 nurses of all levels of education from Bosnia and Herzegovina, employed in private and public institutions. The paper presents a comparative cross-sectional study.
Results: Research results provide evidence of the potential need for system restructuring to include burnout prevention programs at work and indicate that nurses need greater control over their work, including a greater degree of involvement in clinical decision-making. By analyzing the data obtained from this research, we concluded that 27.5% of respondents suffer from burnout syndrome at work.
