Psychosocial stres from work nurses and social workers. Quantitative survey.
DOULOVÁ, Iva
This thesis deals with the psychosocial burden and burnout syndrome in social workers and nurses. It is focused primarily on the staff working in medical institutions for long-term patients and in residential social services for seniors. The objective was to determine if there is any difference in the perception of the burden and in the risk of burnout syndrome. The theoretical part outlines the issues of helping professions, job description of nurses and social workers. It also discusses the psychosocial burden, stress and burnout syndrome. In the practical part, the quantitative method of research was used, the technique of a questionnaire. The anonymous questionnaire contains a total of 35 questions and it is divided into two parts. The first part of the questionnaire focuses on the assessment of job psychosocial burden. The second part contains questions that should reveal to what extent the burnout syndrome occurs in the respondents. The first 5 questions are identification ones. The other questions are closed; the respondents had the opportunity to mark only one answer that was closest to their personal opinions. The practical part presents, in various graphs and tables, the results of the questionnaire survey. They were processed using the OpenOffice.org Calc program. The Excel 2007 MS Office program, a chi-square test, was used for the statistical evaluation of the data. By evaluating the results I found out that the set hypothesis H1, implying that nurses and social workers in medical institutions for long-term patients and in residential social services for seniors perceived the elements of psychosocial burden, was not confirmed. Hypothesis H2, that the risk is perceived more by the staff working in the field for more than 11 years, was not confirmed. Hypothesis H3, saying that the burnout syndrome threatens the staff aged above 41 working in the field, was not confirmed. In my thesis, I tried to present a certain look, a comparison of two professions that have much in common but also differ in many ways. The information can provide a stimulus and inspiration for further research; it may be a basis for further studies and research in this field, practical use, or it may be just a cause for reflection.
