Budući da nema mnogo istraživanja profesionalnog sagorijevanja u kontekstu emocionalne regulacije, u ovom su istraživanju, na uzorku od 214 medicinskih sestara s 19 odjela KBC-a Rijeka, ispitani izravni i interakcijski efekti emocionalne inhibicije i ruminiranja kao komponenata emocionalne regulacije, te preopterećenosti i konflikta uloge i nejasnosti uloge kao komponenata percipiranog stresa na radnom mjestu, na tri komponente profesionalnog sagorijevanja (iscrpljenost, depersonalizaciju i percepciju smanjenog osobnog postignuća). Općenito, rezultati ovoga istraživanja pokazuju da svaka od varijabli percipiranog stresa na radnom mjestu značajno predicira neku od komponenata profesionalnog sagorijevanja, bilo samostalno, ili u interakciji s emocionalnom inhibicijom. Od varijabli emocionalne regulacije, ruminiranje samostalno predicira veću emocionalnu iscrpljenost, dok se emocionalna inhibicija nije pokazala samostalnim prediktorom ni jedne komponente profesionalnog sagorijevanja, već samo u interakciji s percipiranim stresom, odnosno s percipiranom preopterećenošću i konfliktom uloga.Because studies examining professional burnout in the context of emotional regulation are relatively rare, the present study examined the direct and interactional effects of emotional inhibition and ruminating, as components of emotional regulation, and workload and roleconflict, as well as role-ambiguity, as components of perceived stress at work, on the three components of professional burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and perceived decreased personal achievement) on a sample of 214 hospital nurses working in 19 departments of the Clinical Hospital Centre in Rijeka.
Generally, the results of this study show that each variable of perceived stress at the workplace significantly predicts some burnout components, whether independent or in interaction with emotional inhibition. Of the emotional regulation variables, only ruminating predicts higher emotional exhaustion, while emotional inhibition did not prove to be a significant predictor of any of the components of burnout, but only in interaction with one perceived stress component, that is perceived workload and role conflict
