Abstract

Introduction and objective: Job burnout is a phenomenon that results from unmanaged chronic workplace stress, which is directly related to the stressful nature or workplace, as well as experiencing chronic emotional strain and is characterized by high emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low professional efficacy. Emergency Medical Teams are just such a workplace. Paramedics functioning in a state of prolonged, permanent stress begin to lose motivation to continue their work with their previous commitment. The purpose of this study is to answer the question of whether the paramedics surveyed feel professionally burned out, and how stress affects the performance of professional activities and health behaviour.

Material and methods: The study was conducted from May 2019 to September 2019 among 238 (223 males and 15 females) paramedics of the outgoing Emergency Medical Service from the Mazovian province. The study used standardized tools in the form of questionnaires: Link Burnout Questionnaire - LBQ and Health Behavior Inventory Questionnaire - IZZ.

Results: The study showed high levels of psychophysical exhaustion in our sample of paramedics.

Conclusions: The problem of professional burnout among paramedics requires wider recognition as well as the development of preventive measures to minimize its negative effects. It is necessary to consider the education of paramedics on the subject in question, as well as extending increased psychological support to this professional group.

波兰医护人员工作倦怠的样本--工作经验、年龄和健康行为的作用。
导言和目的:工作倦怠是一种因工作场所长期压力得不到管理而产生的现象,它与工作场所的压力性质或工作场所的压力直接相关,也与经历长期的情绪紧张有关,其特点是情绪高度衰竭和人格解体以及职业效能低下。急救医疗队就是这样一种工作场所。医务辅助人员在长期、永久的压力状态下工作,会开始失去继续投入工作的动力。本研究的目的是回答这样一个问题:接受调查的辅助医务人员是否感到职业倦怠,以及压力如何影响职业活动的表现和健康行为:研究于 2019 年 5 月至 2019 年 9 月在马佐夫省即将离任的紧急医疗服务部门的 238 名(男性 223 名,女性 15 名)辅助医务人员中进行。研究使用了问卷形式的标准化工具:链接倦怠问卷(LBQ)和健康行为调查问卷(IZZ):研究结果表明,在我们的护理人员样本中,心理生理疲惫程度较高:医务辅助人员的职业倦怠问题需要得到更广泛的认识,并制定预防措施,以尽量减少其负面影响。有必要考虑对辅助医务人员进行相关教育,并为这一职业群体提供更多的心理支持。
