“…Pond and Geyer (31) explained this by the fact that mature people often perceive that they have fewer employment opportunities and alternatives and therefore reconcile with their work situation. In our study, older respondents mostly had higher rank, as was the case in the study by Selič et al (27), and were better paid, though individual-level data on wages were not collected. In Slovenia in general, higher educational level and the number of years of service bring greater salaries and promotions among public servants.…”

“…Stressful life events at work were found to be associated with feelings of poorer health, depression, and mental strain (35,36). Therefore, the Slovenian Armed Forces should pay special attention to the physical and psychological impact of stress, and the response of an individual who fails to adapt to or demonstrate resilience toward a particular stressor (27).…”

“…The background questionnaire created for this study included demographic data (age, sex, education, and years of service) (27). The self-rated health scale was used for rating respondents' past health using a self-administered questionnaire, separately for each year from 2005-2007, and also for assessing their current health in separate categories: mental and physical health, financial situation, and current life situation.…”

“…In our previous study, we explored key psychological factors in the members of the Slovenian armed forces who reported poorer bio-psycho-social well-being and more burnout, and therefore had reduced working effectiveness and motivation (27). The present analysis specifically analyzed the predicting factors of absence from work due to illness in professional soldiers of the Slovenian Armed Forces.…”

543www.cmj.hr Aim To assess whether demographic characteristics, selfrated health status, coping behaviors, satisfaction with important interpersonal relationships, financial situation, and current overall quality of life are determinants of sick leave duration in professional soldiers of the Slovenian Armed Forces.Methods In 2008, 448 military personnel on active duty in the Slovenian Armed Forces were invited to participate in the study and 390 returned the completed questionnaires (response rate 87%). The questionnaires used were the self-rated health scale, sick leave scale, life satisfaction scale, Folkman-Lazarus' Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and a demographic data questionnaire. To partition the variance across a wide variety of indicators of participants' experiences, ordinal modeling procedures were used.Results A multivariate ordinal regression model, explaining 24% of sick leave variance, showed that the following variables significantly predicted longer sick leave duration: female sex (estimate, 1.185; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.579-1.791), poorer self-rated health (estimate, 3.243; 95% CI, 1.755-4.731), lower satisfaction with relationships with coworkers (estimate, 1.333; 95% CI, 0.399-2.267), and lower education (estimate, 1.577; 95% CI, 0.717-2.436). The impact of age and coping mechanisms was not significant. ConclusionLonger sick leave duration was found in women and respondents less satisfied with their relationships with coworkers, and these are the groups to which special attention should be awarded when planning supervision, work procedures, and gender equality policy of the Armed Forces. A good way of increasing the quality of interpersonal relationships at work would be to teach such skills in teaching programs for commanding officers.

The human resources economic implications of nursing burnout amongst nurses working in retirement homes have become a critical concern within the healthcare industry. As the backbone of care provision in these settings, it is crucial to understand the consequences of burnout on the workforce’s well-being and organisational sustainability. This study aims to investigate burnout among nurses working in retirement homes in Slovenia. The reasons for burnout vary across countries and regions, so gathering data specific to this population is essential. Through surveys conducted among 253 nurses and medical technicians, factor analysis revealed three factors for burnout: emotional exhaustion, reduced personal fulfilment, and impersonality. This research aims to pave the way for reducing workplace stress by creating new opportunities for better working conditions. To achieve these goals, executive management in retirement homes should gain proficiency in the four elements of the quality management cycle: planning, execution, evaluation, and continuous improvement. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was conducted to collate the empirical findings with those from Croatia.
