Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of burnout syndrome and mobbing, to determine their mutual relationship, and to identify predictors related to the probability of occurrence of burnout syndrome in general nurses working in hospitals. Methods: The work is designed as a cross-sectional study. The research took place in 2018 and the sample included 250 general nurses. Statistical evaluation was performed by means of descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and logistic regression. Three standardized questionnaires were used-Maslach Burnout Inventory, Negative Questionnaire Act and SUPSO. Results: The research revealed burnout syndrome in the area of emotional exhaustion in 28.8% of nurses, of depersonalization in 15.2%, and in the area of personal accomplishment in 38.4%. 51.2% of nurses never experienced mobbing at workplace, one act of mobbing over the last six months was reported by 17.6% of respondents, two and more acts by 31.2%. Logistic regression revealed that the probability of occurrence of burnout syndrome in the area of emotional exhaustion is influenced by age, sex and by the size of an urban area, it is increased by anxiety and depression. In the area of depersonalization the probability of incidence increases with impulsiveness and dejection. In the area of personal accomplishment the probability of burnout syndrome incidence is increased by the lack of psychological wellbeing and activeness, by restlessness and impulsiveness. Though there were found significant relationships between all component parts of burnout syndrome and mobbing, multivariate logistic regression did not show the impact of any component part of mobbing on the probability of occurrence of burnout syndrome. Conclusions: The research revealed that the probability of burnout syndrome incidence is related to socio-demographic factors as well as to an individual's psychological states and perceptions. Direct impact of mobbing on the probability of burnout syndrome incidence was inconclusive.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by scaly patches affecting approximately 2-5% of the population. The disease has a negative impact on quality of life and, therefore, psoriatic patients often develop depression. Our work deals with quality of life and depression in psoriasis sufferrers and strives to determine the correlation between their quality of life and depression. Methods: The research took place in the University Hospital Olomouc in 2017 and used questionnaires WHOQOL-BREF and BDI-II. 50 patients with psoriasis were chosen randomly. To process the data we used Mann-Whitney test (the level of significance = 5%) and Spearman´s correlation coefficient (the level of significance = 1%). Results: The results proved that psoriasis has a significant impact on quality of life. The scores for the overall life quality as well as for individual domains were significantly lower in psoriatic patients than in the control group (p<0.001). The degree of depression in patients with psoriasis showed statistically significant correlation in all domains of the quality of life. We proved negative correlation in the overall quality of life (rs =- 0.691**), physical condition (rs =-0.499**), social relations (rs =-0.546**), overall health (rs =-0.396**), and environment (rs =-0.386**). Conclusion: With regard to the ascertained negative correlation between psoriasis and depression and lower quality of life of the sufferers compared to the healthy population, it is essential for healthcare professionals to pay attention not only to somatic manifestations of the disease but also to the patients´ mental health.

Background:Caring for a family member is demanding and poses a considerable strain for the carer. Due to this long-term strain, the carer may develop burnout. Care divided between the family and a state institution seems to be ideal. Nevertheless, there are demands which pose a strain even for professional carers. Aim: The aim of the research was to ascertain the degree of burnout rate and differences between family caregivers and professional carers. Methods: A quantitative approach was taken: Burnout Measure (BM) questionnaire survey was conducted. The sample consisted of 50 family caregivers (42 women, 8 men) with average care length 5 years and 57 professional carers -workers from healthcare and social services (55 women, 2 men) from a care home Pohoda, OlomoucChválkovice and a care home for disabled people Nové Zámky with average work experience 12 years. Results: A higher burnout rate was found among family caregivers compared to professional carers (p < 0.001). Burnout was confirmed in 25 family caregivers and 2 professional carers. An increased risk for developing burnout was found in 13 family caregivers and 8 professional carers. Conclusion: Caring for a family member presents an excessive strain for the family caregiver and respite care or community services should be introduced to prevent developing burnout.KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA syndrom vyhoření, rodinný pečovatel, profesionální pečovatel, zátěž, sociální opora KEY WORDS burnout syndrome, family caregiver, professional caregiver, burden, social support
