Burnout of special needs and rehabilitation pedagogues in Koroška regoin and in Velenje

Vsak posameznik se v svojem življenju sreča s stresom. Nekateri med njimi ga prepoznajo pravi čas in lahko s preventivnimi strategijami preprečijo, da bi jih to privedlo do izgorelosti, drugi pa spregledajo znake in ne opazijo, da se z njimi nekaj dogaja, dokler ni že prepozno in potrebujejo pomoč, da po stopnji izgorelosti zopet zaživijo svoje življenje. V magistrskem delu je najprej na kratko predstavljen poklic specialnega in rehabilitacijskega pedagoga, večji poudarek pa je namenjen sindromu izgorelosti, izgorelosti na delovnem mestu, znakom in vzrokom izgorelosti pri posameznikih ter strokovnih delavcih (kamor sodijo tudi specialni in rehabilitacijski pedagogi). Nato je predstavljenih nekaj domačih in tujih raziskav ter navedenih konkretnih predlogov za preprečevanje in zdravljenje izgorelosti. Osrednji namen mojega magistrskega dela je raziskovanje izgorelosti specialnih in rehabilitacijskih pedagogov na Koroškem in v Velenju. Na podlagi rezultatov je ugotovljeno, da manj kot polovica specialnih in rehabilitacijskih pedagogov v tem delu Slovenije doživlja telesne znake, ki so povezani z izgorelostjo. Rezultati pokažejo tudi, da specialni pedagogi na tem delu Slovenije niso izgoreli, res pa je, da je bil vzorec udeležencev (pre)majhen.Everyone, at some point in their lives, faces with stress. Some individuals recognize it quickly enough, so they are able to make use of strategies to avoid suffering from the burnout syndrome, while others overlook early stress symptoms and do not notice what is happening with them until it is too late. They need help in overcoming the burnout in order to begin to live their lives again. In the beginning of the thesis the work of a special and rehabilitation pedagogue is presented, the main focus is, however, on a burnout in general and at a work place, its symptoms and causes among individuals and teachers, specifically special and rehabilitation pedagogues. Some Slovenian and foreign researches on the topic have also been presented, as well as suggestions for preventing and treating the burnout syndromes which could be used by any individual. The main purpose of my work was to identify the rate of the burnout syndrome among special and rehabilitation pedagogues in Slovene Carinthia and City Municipality of Velenje. The analysis results indicate that less than half of the participants show symptoms of a burnout. Despite the low participation rate, the results imply that the special pedagogues in this region of Slovenia tend to not be burnt out
