  • The physicians burnout, its unintended consequiences [!], barriers in seeking help, and the questions of solutions [Elektronski vir]
    Rakovec-Felser, Zlatka
    The professional staff in human service institutions is often required to spend time in intense involvement with other people. Frequently, the medical staff-patient interaction is centred on the ... patient's current problems (physical, but also psychological or/and social) and is therefore charged with feelings of anger, embarrassment, fear or despair. In this article we follow the job burnout as a consequence of a disturbed balance between give and take at all three levels of social exchange - at an interpersonal, medical team, and an organizational level. Burnout phenomenon is seen not only as the problem of individuals but also as the problem of social environment in which they work. We describe its possible kinds of manifestations and present the research data of burnout prevalence among physicians, nurses and medical students around the world, its consequences for individual's well-being as well as the obstacles to seek help for oneself in a time.
