摘要:Introduction. Occupational burnout is a multifaceted phenomenon and a problem often encountered among medical
personnel. An example of such a group are workers of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The aim of the present
study was to make an attempt to assess the level of job burnout among professionally active employees of the EMS and
to compare the different occupational groups (paramedics, nurses of the system, doctors of the system) according to four
analyzed factors.
Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was performed using an on-line questionnaire. Four factors impacting
the level of burnout were analyzed: 1) attitude to work; 2) workload; 3) contact with the patient; 4) attitude to stress). The
minimum possible result on the scale is 36 points and the maximum – 252. Data were analysed by means of the Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient, the Spearman correlation, the Ramsey RESET test, the Chow test, VIF statistics.
Results. The average score for occupational burnout was 131.0 points (SD ± 31.47). The tool’s reliability measured by means
of Cronbach’s alpha was 0.910). Both nurses and doctors obtained higher results throughout the scale (βstand.0.147 and 0.215).
Significant differences were shown between the group working only in the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS)
teams and the other services (land EMS, emergency rooms, etc.) at the level of p < 0.000.
Conclusions. EMS employees encounter varying degrees of threat by occupational burnout. Doctors working in the system
are shown to have the highest level of burnout, while paramedics the lowest. Among all the jobs analyzed, the lowest level
of occupational burnout has been demonstrated by employees of HEMS.
