Abstract
Cilj istraživanja: Utvrditi prisutnost sindroma sagorijevanja medicinskih sestara te usporediti njegov intenzitet kod sestara u patronažnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti i zdravstvenoj njezi u kući. Nacrt studije: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje. Ispitanici i metode: Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzorku od 51 medicinske sestre. U istraživanju su sudjelovale 24 medicinske sestre iz patronažne zdravstvene zaštite Doma zdravlja Osijek i 27 medicinskih sestara iz Ustanova za zdravstvenu njegu u kući „Jadranka Plužarić“, „Spomenka Kurina“, „Terica Breber“ na području grada Osijeka, u vremenskom razdoblju srpnju i kolovozu 2016. godine. Kao metoda istraživanja korištena je anonimna anketa. Prvi dio je upitnik s općim sociodemografskim podatcima, a drugi dio je Upitnik intenziteta sagorijevanja na poslu. Upitnik je konstruiran u okviru aktivnosti Društva za psihološku pomoć (Ajduković M. i Ajduković D, 1994.). Rezultati: 38 medicinskih sestara je u kategoriji „bez znakova sagorijevanja“, a 13 čine medicinske sestre s „posebnim znacima upozorenja“. Od toga, 9 je iz ustanova za zdravstvenu njegu u kući i 4 iz patronažne zdravstvene zaštite. Medijan ukupnog broja bodova na Upitniku intenziteta sagorijevanja iznosio je 21, a prema kategorizaciji, statistički značajna razlika je pronađena u učestalosti navedenih kategorija (p<0,001). S obzirom na ostale najznačajnije varijable, nisu pronađene statistički značajne razlike. Zaključak: Uvidom u rezultate dobivene istraživanjem možemo zaključiti kako kod većine ispitanica nije prisutan sindrom sagorijevanja. Posebni znaci upozorenja utvrđeni su u većoj mjeri kod medicinskih sestara iz zdravstvene njege u kući, no statistički značajna razlika ne postoji.Study objectives: To determine the presence of the burnout syndrome among nurses and to compare the intensity of the mentioned syndrome among nurses working as health visitors with those in the domain of home care service. Study design: The study was cross-sectional. Participants and methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 51 nurses. The study involved 24 nurses from the Health Visitor Service Department in the Public Health Centre Osijek and 27 nurses from the Institutions for Home Care Service “Jadranka Plužarić”, “Spomenka Kurina”, “Terica Breber” in the area of the City of Osijek. The study was conducted in the period from July to August 2016. Anonymous survey was used as the research method. The first part of the survey contained questions about the general socio-demographic data, and the second part consisted of a Questionnaire on the burnout syndrome intensity. The survey was designed in the framework of the activities of the Society for Psychological Assistance (Ajduković M. and Ajduković D, 1994). Results: There were 38 nurses in the category of "no signs of burnout," and 13 nurses comprised the group with the “specific warning signs”. 9 of the latter group of nurses come from the institutions for home health service and the remaining 4 work in the health visitor service. The median value of the total number of points on the burnout intensity Questionnaire was 21. Based on the categorization, a statistically significant difference was found in the frequency of the above categories (p <0.001). With regard to the other most important variables, there were no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: After examining the results obtained from the survey it can be concluded that the burnout syndrome was not present among the majority of participants. Specific warning signs were found to a bigger extent among the nurses in home care service, but without a statistically significant difference.
