Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the long-term burnout levels of healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in Slovenian nursing homes during the fifth wave of the pandemic; to compare the results of similar facilities in 2020 and 2013; and to examine the correlation between demographics and burnout and fatigue among HCPs.

Material and methods: The study used a descriptive, correlational cross-sectional method.

Results: In the fifth wave, HCPs suffered more from emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment than in the first wave of the pandemic and in the spring of 2013. The HCPs caring for COVID-19 patients and younger women had higher rates of burnout and fatigue than other occupational groups. There is a strong positive correlation between burnout and fatigue.

Conclusions: There is an urgent need to address the problem of fatigue and burnout with administrative measures. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2023;36(3):396-405.

长期医护人员的职业倦怠经历及职业倦怠与疲劳的相关性:一项横断面研究。

目的:本研究的目的是分析在第五波大流行期间在斯洛文尼亚养老院工作的医疗保健专业人员(HCPs)的长期倦怠水平;比较2020年和2013年类似设施的结果;并检验人口学特征与医务人员职业倦怠和疲劳之间的相关性。材料和方法:本研究采用描述性、相关性横断面方法。结果:与2013年春季和第一波疫情相比，第五波疫情中医护人员情绪衰竭、人格解体和缺乏个人成就感的情况更为严重。照顾COVID-19患者和年轻女性的医护人员的倦怠和疲劳率高于其他职业群体。倦怠和疲劳之间有很强的正相关关系。结论:迫切需要采取行政措施解决护士的疲劳倦怠问题。中华医学杂志，2009;36(3):396- 396。
