Abstract
Aim of the study was to assess the frequency of the symptoms of professional burnout, depression, anxiety and stress in nurses working in departments providing medical and rehabilitation services to patients with impaired functions of support and movement. Material and methods. We carried out an anonymous survey among the nurses working in two medical institutions in Novokuznetsk that provide medical rehabilitation services to patients with impaired neuromuscular, skeletal or movement-related functions. In order to detect the symptoms of burnout and to determine their severity we used the Maslach Burnout Inventory adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova. The extent of depression, anxiety and stress were assessed with the DASS-21. Results. The majority of the nurses showed symptoms of burnout varying from moderate to extremely high; psychoemotional exhaustion was present in 57.7 %, depersonalization in 76.9 % and reduced personal accomplishment in 57.7 %. The integral burnout index was moderate and high or extremely high in 69.3 % of the nurses. At the same time almost half (45.4 %) of the respondents had symptoms of depression and/or anxiety (stress) and their severity correlated with the extent of burnout. Conclusions. The nurses working in departments specializing in providing medical and rehabilitation services to patients with impaired neuromuscular, skeletal or movement-related functions belong to the groups of medical persons vulnerable to professional burnout, depression, anxiety and stress.
