Introduction Professional burnout is a phenomenon which may be generally defined as feeling tired of work, the lack of commitment to work, frustration and adopting a particular attitude to individuals who one is professionally related to. This phenomenon often concerns representatives of certain professions, including medical professions such as occupational therapists. The aim of the study was to find out what factors affect the level of professional burnout among occupational therapists. Material and methods The study was carried out in Poland. It included 97 professionally active occupational therapists. In the study, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was employed. Such independent variables as work experience, gender and place of employment were analysed. Results Occupational therapists under investigation manifested symptoms typical of professional burnout. From among the three subscales of MBI, the highest level was observed in the emotional exhaustion subscale. There exists a statistical correlation between work experience and one subscale of professional burnout. No statistically significant correlations were noted between professional burnout and place of employment as well as between gender and the level of professional burnout. Conclusions Over a half of the occupational therapists under investigation experienced a high level of emotional exhaustion, while in 30% of them, exhaustion was at a medium level. Simultaneously, a significantly low level of depersonalisation was revealed. The majority of the respondents manifested a high level of personal accomplishment.

Burnout or occupational exhaustion syndrome is a neuropsychological disorder resulting from chronic stress at work. Employees of private companies are highly exposed to this risk because of the overload of work in addition to the long daily working hours. We have therefore conducted a study whose aim is to assess the prevalence of burnout and its components, as well as to study socio-professional determinants among employees. We tested 102 employees aged between 22 and 60 years with an average age of 36.76 years ± 10.5 years. 77% were men and 24% were women. They were asked to complete freely and anonymously a general information sheet and the MBI questionnaire “Maslach Burn-out Inventory” in its French version with language adaptation. This consists of 22 items, evaluating three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA). A score was calculated and a rating in the degree of severity (low, moderate and high) was given for each of the dimensions, according to internationally accepted standards. The analysis of the results showed a high prevalence of burnout. Statistical analyses show that the rate of burnout in the age group over 40 equals 47.2% against 31.8% only among employees aged under 40. Similarly, the burnout rate among women is about the same as men (p=0.977). Emotional exhaustion (EE) is the most widespread component in exhausted subjects. It was found to be high for 14.7% of employees; while depersonalization (DP) or high cynicism affects only 3.9% of subjects. Significant links between depersonalization and gender as well as professional seniority are obtained. Concerning the level of schooling, the rate of burnout decreases when the school level increases but without significance (p = 0.474). The rate of burnout is high among executing workers followed by senior managers. However, this link remains statistically insignificant. Concerning seniority, we note that the prevalence of burnout increases with professional seniority and even in the meaningless position. We also observe a higher rate of burnout among employees with company seniority of less than 10 years in addition to the oldest, but without any meaning. Professional exhaustion or burnout exists strongly in Moroccan companies. In order to be able to adapt to the rapid development of the market and its increased demands, it is essential that business leaders prevent this pathology by improving the psychosocial work environment.

The aim of the research was to determine the level of professional burnout amongst academic teachers and to demonstrate its relationships with perceived stress and the sense of life satisfaction, as well as selected socio-demographic variables - such as age, gender, marital status and work experience; the title or degree held was an important element of the above analysis. The study included 67 persons (researchers and didactic employees) of one of the faculties at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University. Employed were the authors' self-designed socio-demographic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services (MBI-HSS), Perceived Stress Scale test (PSS-10) and Satisfaction with Life Scale test (SWLS). As a result of the research conducted, it was found that almost two-thirds of the surveyed research and teaching employees had a high level of having lost a sense of personal accomplishment, and not more than one-third also the same in the case of the other two dimensions of professional burnout according to MBI. A significant relationship was found between the self-reported burnout score and the level of the three dimensions of burnout according to the MBI. It was found that the higher the score on the PSS-10, the higher the level of all three dimensions of professional burnout according to MBI in the surveyed research and teaching staff. It was shown that the higher the score on the SWLS, the lower the level of all three dimensions of professional burnout according to MBI in the surveyed research and teaching staff. Almost two-thirds (62.69%) of the surveyed research and teaching staff had a high level of having lost a sense of personal accomplishment, and no more than one in three of the respondents in the case of the other two dimensions of occupational burnout according to the MBI. It might be concluded that the researchers have a significant percentage of professional burnout. A significant relationship was found between the self-reported burnout score and the level of the three dimensions of burnout according to the MBI among the research and teaching staff surveyed. We also confirmed the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction with all three dimensions of job burnout.

Mobbing behaviours at workplaces and occupational burnout have negative impacts on the working and private lives. Mobbing, irrespective of its intensity, represents one of the most significant stressors and often leads to an irreversible psycho-deterioration of an individual. Overcoming a stressful situation at work requires specifying the methods for coping with stress resulting in job burnout. Job burnout is a complex syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. The aim of these study was to analyze interrelationships between mobbing, coping with stress and job burnout among nurses. The study included 86 nurses of various specialties, who gave their consent to participate in the project, were examined. The average age of the nurses was 37.7 years, and the average job seniority was 12.6 years. The study were conducted in 2019-2020 in hospitals of Southern Poland. and was based on the following instruments: Sociodemographic survey, The Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ), COPE Inventory and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The presented studies showed a statistically significant and consistent relationship between the intensity of perceived mobbing in nurses and the results obtained on the scale of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. A relationship was found between the preference for some specific stress management strategies and job burnout level, also after adjustment for the mobbing intensity, age and seniority of the respondents, thus empirically confirming a multifaceted nature of the unfavorable phenomena related to the work of a nurse. It was found that there is interrelationships between mobbing, coping with stress and job burnout among nurses.
