Summary/Abstract: Numerous studies prove that stress and burnout have become a significant problem among people who have everyday contact with other people at work. For years, research on the threats of excessive stress and occupational burnout has focused on healthcare sector and the circle of medical professions. In addition to the well-recognized working conditions of doctors, nurses, midwives and physiotherapists, relatively few analyses have so far been conducted among employees of the pharmaceutical sector – an industry accompanying healthcare and closely cooperating with it. Among the professions whose representatives are exposed to constant stress, one can point out independent managers, scientific and medical representatives and pharmacists. The aim of the undertaken research was to determine the degree to which the level of experienced stress affects the appearance of occupational burnout among people employed in pharmaceutical companies and in pharmacies. Seeking answers to the research questions related to both groups, three standardized tools were used: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Mini-COPE Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).
