Abstract
Introduction: The burnout syndrome is characteristic for people who face constant human interaction in their work. Health care professionals are listed in this category. Aim: The aim of this paper was to determine the scope of the burnout syndrome and to assess the degree of burnout among health care professionals. Material and Methods: The study was conducted among a population of 110 nurses and paramedics working in the Opole Province. The research tool used was an own questionnaire, the MBI Ch. Maslach burnout questionnaire and the PSS – 10 scale (Perceived Stress Scale). Results: The results show that passivity and uncertainty in dealing with people (33%) and low mental resilience (29%) are the main personality traits that influence the occurrence of burnout. Conclusions: Professional burnout occurs in all three dimensions of the syndrome, with varying degrees of severity, among health care professionals.
