DIFFERENCES IN JOB BURNOUT BETWEEN HOSPITAL PHYSIOTHERAPISTS AND PHYSIOTHERAPIST WHO WORK AT PATIENT'S HOME IN 2016. YEAR: A CROSS-SECTOINAL STUDY IN SPLITSKO-DALMATINSKA COUNTY

Uvod: „Burnout“ je posljedica dugoročne izloženosti profesionalnom stresu. Sindrom je određen trima komponentama; emocionalnom iscrpljenosti, depersonalizacijom i osobnim uspjehom koje se mjere MBI upitnikom. Simptomi izgaranja uključuju mentalnu i fizičku iscrpljenost, praćeni psihosomatskim poremećajima i emocionalnim problemima. Najčešće je prisutan među takozvnim pomagačkim zanimanjima koje obilježava komunikacija s osobama kojima je potrebna pomoć druge osobe, a među njih spadaju sve medicinske struke pa tako i fizioterapeuti. Cilj istraživanja: Utvrditi postojanje razlike u iscrpljenosti poslom između bolničkih i patronažnih fizioterapeuta u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji u 2016. godini. Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno na fizioterapeutima u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji, točnije u Splitu u razdoblju od lipanja do rujna 2016. godine putem standardiziranog anketnog upitnika o sagorijevanju (Maslch Burnout Inventory). Istraživanje je bilo potpuno anonimno i dobrovoljno. Ukupno je sudjelovalo 60 fizioterapeuta, i to 30 iz Kliničkog bolničkog centra Split te 30 iz Ustanova za zdravstvenu njegu i rehabilitaciju u kući na području grada Splita. Rezultati: Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju da ne postoj značajna razlika u ukupnoj iscrpljenosti poslom, kao ni kod pojedinačnih komponenti (emocionalna iscrpljenost, depersonalizacija, osobni uspjeh) između bolničkih i patronažnih fizioterapeuta. Također ne postoji značajna razlika u iscrpljenosti u odnosu na dob ili spol fizioterapeuta. Zaključak: Iscrpljenosti poslom je prisutna kod fizioterapeuta u obe skupine, ali ne postoji razlika između bolničkih i patronažnih fizioterapeuta. Potrebna su detaljnija istraživanja koja će pridonijeti boljem razumijevanju ove problematike tj. faktora koji utječu na pojavu sindroma sagorijevanja i načina na koji ga se može spriječiti.Background: Burnout is a consequence of long-term exposure to professional stress. The syndrome is determined by three components; emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal success which are measured by the MBI questionnaire. Combustion symptoms include mental and physical exhaustion, followed by psychosomatic disorders and emotional problems. It is most often present among the so-called assisting professions that are marked by communication with people who need help from another person, including all medical professionals, as well as physiotherapist. Research objectives: The aim of this study is to identify the existence of differences in job burnout between hospital physiotherapists and physiotherapists who work at patient's home in the Splitsko-dalmatinska County in 2016. Methods: The study was conducted on physiotherapists in the Splitsko-dalmatinska County, precisely in Split, in the period from June to September 2016 through a standardized Maslch Burnout Inventory. The research was completely anonymous and voluntary. A total of 60 physiotherapists participated, of which 30 were employed in Clinical Hospital Center Split and 30 were working for various the Institutions for health care and rehabilitation at home in Split. Results: The results of this research have shown that there is no statistically significant difference in job burnout between hospital physiotherapist and physiotherapists who work at patient's home. There is also no statistically significant difference in exhaustion physiotherapists of different age and sex. Conclusion: Work exhaustion is present in both groups of physiotherapists, but there is no difference between these two groups. More detailed studies should be made in order to contribute to a better understanding of this problem ie factors affecting the occurrence of combustion syndrome and the ways in which it can be prevented
