Summary

Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine the degree of burn-out in nurses working in departments that care for of seniors. This research attempted to reveal the relationship between the intensity of burn-out and between some factors such as

– age,

– sex,

– subjective feelings,

– education, and

– marital status of respondents.

Methods:
The group included 98 nurses from the Internal Clinic of the University Hospital in Ostrava, nurses from the Long-term care institution in Klokočov and from the Department of gerontopsychiatry of the Psychiatric Clinic in Opava. A standardized Maslach Burn-out Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was chosen for data collection, complete with identification data. Evaluation was made using Chi-quadrate test and Fisher exact test. Statistical tests were evaluated at a significance level α = 0,05.

Results:
Our study confirmed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between nurses´ emotional exhaustion and their subjective feeling about their jobs. Burn-out was confirmed in 81 % of nurses who themselves had reported that they found their job very stressful. The research showed that age, family background, length of experience and level of education does not affect the incidence of burn-out in nurses.

Conclusion:
Burn-out impairs quality of life, affects quality of client care, leads to deteriorating relationships with colleagues and the social environment in general and also has significant economic implications. The basic prerequisite for preventing burn-out is primarily knowledge and awareness that burn-out exists.

Key words:
burn-out, nurses, geriatric departments, Maslach Burn-out Inventory.
