Ispitan je sindrom profesionalnog sagorijevanja među medicinskim sestrama/tehničarima i
njegovateljicama/
njegovateljima u domovima za starije osobe u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji. Ukupno je sudjelovalo 436
ispitanika (240 iz Hrvatske i 196 iz Slovenije). Istraživanje je uključivalo analizu demografskih
podataka poput dobi, bračnog statusa, obrazovanja i radnog staža te njihovog odnosa sa sindromom
profesionalnog sagorijevanja. Za ispitivanje razine profesionalnog sagorijevanja primijenjen je
validirani upitnik The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI). Rezultati su pokazali visoku razinu
sindroma profesionalnog sagorijevanja u objema državama s gotovo polovicom ispitanika u kategoriji
visokog intenziteta. Demografske varijable nisu iskazale jasan značajan učinak na varijablu
profesionalnog sagorijevanja. Analize nisu pokazale značajne razlike između Hrvatske i Slovenije u
pogledu izraženosti intenziteta sindroma sagorijevanja. Istaknuta je važnost problema sindroma
profesionalnog sagorijevanja među zdravstvenim radnicima u domovima za starije osobe te potreba za
daljnjim istraživanjem kako bi se bolje razumjeli faktori koji doprinose tom fenomenu kao i potreba
za većim uzorkom ispitanika pojedinih potkategorija istraživanih varijabli.This study examined the syndrome of professional burnout among nurses/technicians and caregivers in nursing homes
in Croatia and Slovenia. A total of 436 respondents participated in the study (240 from Croatia and 196 from Slovenia).
The study included an analysis of demographic data such as age, marital status, education and length of service, as well as
the respondents’ attitude towards the professional burnout syndrome. A validated questionnaire, The Oldenburg Burnout
Inventory (OLBI), was used to assess the level of professional burnout. The results showed high levels of professional
burnout syndrome in both countries, with almost half of the respondents being in the high-intensity category. Additionally,
demographic variables did not have a clear significant impact on the professional burnout variable. Analyses did not
show significant differences between Croatia and Slovenia in terms of burnout syndrome intensity. The importance of the
professional burnout syndrome problem among healthcare workers in nursing homes was highlighted, as well as the need
for further research in order to better understand the factors contributing to this phenomenon, and the need to include a
larger sample of respondents within specific subcategories of the researched variables
