Sažetak
Background: The attitude of health care professionals towards job is determined by the degree of their ability to work with
addicts, educational and cultural factors, as well as the psychological profile of their personality, on which depend their emo tional
response in work with addicts.
Aim: To explore the therapist's relationship to job, whether that relationship has an effect on their affective status, and to what
extent that relationship can lead to the development of tension (anxiety) during the treatment of opiate addicts.
Subjects and methods: The sample consists of members of the multidisciplinary teams of the Institute for Addiction Disorders of
Canton Sarajevo (45 in total), of which 11 are physicians, 26 nurses/medical technicians, 4 psychologists and 4 social workers.
Employee Attitude Questionnaire (16 questions examining level of information, feelings of insecurity, fatigue, teamwork and job
satisfaction) and EMAS-S which has two subscales (for measuring cognitive worry factor and autonomic-emotional anxiety state
factor) were used.
Results: From baseline, 32 (71%) of respondents have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills at workplace, which is
proportional to their job satisfaction, reduction of anxiety and uncertainty. A large proportion of respondents 36 (80%) stated that
they felt more responsible in their work compared to the beginning of career, which was followed by a decrease in the score on
EMAS cognition and emotion subscale, what reflected positively on work efficiency. The degree of satisfaction at the end of the work
day, often and almost always, has 60% of respondents.
Conclusion: Employees who feel satisfaction at work, who improve their knowledge and work in a team, have a better attitude
towards work and less anxiety, and achieve better results when working with addicts.
