Sažetak
The aim of this study was to investigate work-related burnout (defined by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and perception of reduced personal achievement) and mental health (defined as resistance to stress, subjective quality of life and the expression of general psychopathological disturbances), and compare the level of burnout and mental health among nurses from various hospital wards. The participants were 123 nurses from non-psychiatric and 51 from psychiatric wards. Results for the entire sample indicate high levels of emotional exhaustion and moderate depersonalization and personal achievement among participants. Nurses are satisfied with their life, moderately resistant to stress and do not have pronounced psychopathological disturbances. The participants employed in non psychiatric wards achieved high scores on the scale of emotional exhaustion and moderate results on the scale of personal achievement and depersonalization. The participants employed in the psychiatric wards achieved moderate results on the scale of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievement. Nurses from non-psychiatric hospital wards have higher emotional exhaustion and higher personal achievement than those from psychiatric wards. There were no statistically significant differences in burnout and mental health considering partner and parental status in the overall sample. In psychiatric staff, longer work experience is associated with a higher level of depersonalization and a higher level of general psychopathological symptoms. On the other hand, in non-psychiatric staff, longer work experience is associated with a higher level
of personal achievement and higher stress resistance. The results implicate that there are some differences between psychiatric and non-psychiatric nurses and their connection with the length of work experience that should be considered in planning burnout-related interventions.
