Abstract
Introduction. The nature of a nurse’s work in hospital wards makes the nurse exposed to various stress provoking factors that contribute to the emergence of the burnout phenomenon. This situation occurs due to prolonged stress and ineffective coping with overloads at work. Burnout is defined a as condition characterized by frustration and exhaustion appearing in people who take intensive care of others devoting so much energy, which results in the loss of energy and motivation to continue working with the previous intensity and commitment. The model of professional burnout syndrome is a three-stage process and includes emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of personal accomplishment. As a result of burnout there occurs the loss of professional commitment and decrease of satisfaction with the job which leads to a reduction in the quality and effectiveness of medical care provided. Therefore, actions are taken to prevent this phenomenon in the work environment, not only because of its effects on health and the effectiveness of work but also because of the safety and welfare of patients. Aim. The aim of this study was to determine and investigate the effect of environmental conditions on the level of the phenomenon of burnout among nurses at hospital wards. Material and methods.
