Merenje nivoa profesionalnog sagorevanja kod defektologa zaposlenih u obrazovnim ustanovama

Abstract

Prolongirani profesionalni stres može da dovede do mentalnih i fizičkih oboljenja kod pojedinca, što negativno deluje na kvalitet rada i odnose sa klijentom. Istraživanje prikazano u ovom radu je sprovedeno sa ciljem da se utvrdi nivo i rasprostranjenost sindroma profesionalnog sagorevanja kod defektologa zaposlenih u obrazovnim ustanovama u Republici Srbiji kao i da se utvrdi povezanosti specifičnih sociodemografskih varijabli sa sindromom profesionalnog sagorevanja ove populacije. Uzorak je činilo 46 defektologa zaposlenih u specijalnim osnovnim školama na teritoriji Republike Srbije. Profesionalno sagorevanje ispitivano je primenom instrumenta MBIEducators Survey (MBI-ES) i to kroz tri osnovne komponente sindroma profesionalnog sagorevanja: emocionalnu iscrpljenost, depersonalizaciju i percepciju ličnog postignuća. Rezultati pokazuju da, u odnosu na ukupan uzorak, na subskali EI najveći deo uzorka (43,5%) pokazuje umerene znake PS. Na subskali DE najveći procenat uzorka (67,4%) pokazuje blage znake PS, kao i na subskali LP (34,8%).

Occupational stress among special education teachers has been one of the main focuses of researchers over the World the last decade, the reason being that persistent job related stress in special education teachers can lead to mental and or physical illnesses.
