THE FEATURES OF PSYCH-EMOTIONAL BURNOUT AMONG OPERATING ROOM NURSES
Abstract
In the course of professional activities, nurses are exposed to the adverse effects of production factors, and stress is one of the most frequent. Prolonged exposure to stress can cause the development of emotional burnout syndrome (EBS). The purpose of the work was to study the features of psychoemotional burnout of nurses working at the operating department. Materials and methods. Nurses of the operating department participated in the study. Questionnaires for evaluating CMEA were used by Boyko V.V. and the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire WHOQOL-26. Statistical processing of the results obtained was carried out according to generally accepted methods using MS Excel 2019 and Statistica 10.0. Results. The results showed that the professional activity of nurses contributes to the development of EBS. Almost half of the examined patients had a manifestation of emotional burnout syndrome, formed at least in one of the phases. The formed phase of «Resistance» was most expressed, followed by «Exhaustion» and «Tension». The analysis of the percentage ratio of qualitative indicators according to the WHOQOL-26 questionnaire showed that such indicators as «Microsocial support» and «Social well-being» had a «high» level. The highest percentage of the «increased» level was registered in the indicators «Quality of life» and «Self-perception». The leading indicator (in terms of percentage value) according to the results of the correlation analysis, which determines the dynamics of EBS development, was such indicator as «Health status» (38.5%), followed by «Microsocial support», «Quality of life» and «Self-perception». Regression analysis showed that, despite the high and average level of correlation closeness (0.4÷0.72), EBS was due to the influence of health quality indicators only for 10.7-22.7 % of the variable symptoms variance. Conclusion. Occupational stress, characteristic for medical workers, causes EBS increase, which leads nurses to a violation of the ability to perform professional duties qualitatively.
