Analysis of the Stress of Health Workers of Psychiatry Clinic and Dermatovenerology Clinic

Abstract

Abstract Stress at a workplace represents stress caused by the job of a person, which occurs when the demands of the workplace are not in accordance with the needs of health workers. Two basic types of pathological stress at workplace are: burnout syndrome at work and technostress. The set goals were to assess the level of stress among health workers employed by the Psychiatric Clinic and the Dermatovenerology Clinic, and compare the results obtained, and identify a group of health workers exposed to the highest level of stress within the studied healthcare institutions. A total of 93 respondents were included in the study, of which 43 were from the Dermatovenerology Clinic and 50 from the Psychiatric Clinic. In the process of collecting data from respondents, the questionnaire used is modified version of “The Workplace Stress Scale”. The most important is to note that there is no correlation between night-shift work and stress level, as well as gender, or level of education, even though many studies in the world indicate a connection between these factors - which is marked as an increased risk of stress. Starting from the goals of the work, it is concluded that employees at the Dermatovenerology Clinic are more exposed to stress than employees in the Psychiatric Clinic. The level of education, gender, age, shift work does not affect the level of stress. The factor that most affects the level of stress is personal income and a short deadline for executing the given actions.
