Burnout and Demograpfic and Pychosocial Variables in Practising Physiotherapists

Summary/Abstract: The aim of studies was the evaluation of the level of burnout syndrome in a group of practicing physiotherapists with regard to sociodemographic variables, and social support from the supervisor, co- workers and families in stressful situations in the workplace. A study group consisted of 71 practicing physiotherapists. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and questionnaire were used. The high levels of burnout syndrome in terms of depersonalization and reduced sense of personal accomplishment were noted. Sociodemographic variables and characteristics related to the profession of physiotherapist had no significant effect on burnout syndrome factors. Social support from colleagues had a significant effect on emotional exhaustion (z = 2.021, p < 0.05) and depersonalization (z = 2.140, p < 0.05) and receiving social support from the supervisor in stressful situations at work had relationship with depersonalization (z = 2.021, p < 0.05). Social support from superiors in stressful situations in the workplace could be a buffer preventing the development of burnout syndrome in physiotherapists.
