“…The examined subjects mean age was 33.8 years, with slightly lower mean values in males, as compared to females -36.3 years. Similar to other researches that involve nurse population, in this study female participants, have been found to prevail over males [22]. By choosing a traditionally female occupation, males can experience role conflict and consequent job dissatisfaction [23].…”

Job satisfaction is a complex psychological phenomenon and an extremely important factor in work quality and employees' work motivation. Considering that factors contributing to job (dis)satisfaction also affect the work motivation, the level of job satisfaction is used in this psychometric cross-sectional study as an indicator of work motivation among a sample of 71 intensive care nurses in one of the university hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia. The level of job satisfaction was assessed by an adapted and customized survey in Serbian language, based on famous Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Analyzing collected data, a high level of job dissatisfaction among participants of our study was founded. Considering obtained results in the light of the competent literary sources' allegations which suggest that job satisfaction level reliably indicate the level of work motivation at the same time, we concluded that work motivation in the observed sample was very poor at the moment of conducting this study, clearly indicating the need for a more comprehensive research of work motivation among Serbian nursing practitioners in future.

“…According to Karasek's model of work stress, nurses are among high cognitive and sensory demands and with a low degree of freedom at work [4,21], which has already been assessed in our study. Lack of autonomy, numerous duties, great meaning and commitment to work, less social support and lack of feedback at work in this study have also proven significant psychosocial risks of emergency nurses.…”

Background: Psychosocial risks represent a great challenge for safety and health protection at work in Europe. The purpose of this study has been to determine the relationships of psychosocial risks arising from work, stress, personal characteristics and burnout among physicians and nurses in the Emergency Medical Service (EMS). Material and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire survey which contained the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Results: A total of 88 physicians and 80 nurses completed the survey. Physicians demonstrated higher emotional (mean (M) ± standard deviation (SD) = 74.57±16.85) and cognitive (M±SD = 75.95±13.74) demands as compared to nurses. Both groups had high sensory demands and responsibilities at work, in spite of the low degree of their autonomy. The meaning of work, commitment to the workplace, and insecurity at work were high for both groups. Among all participants, stressful behavior and reactions were within the limits of low values (< 40) and coping strategies showed high values (> 60). Personal and patient-related burnout was high for both groups, where physicians were significantly affected by work-related burnout. The influence at work, degree of freedom at work, social support, sense of coherence, mental health, and problem-focused coping are negatively related to work-related burnout. Conclusions: Based on personal factors and coping styles, emergency physicians and nurses are representing a self-selective professional group that meets high work demands, great responsibility, strong commitment and insecurity at work. Burnout of physicians and nurses in the EMS tends to be ignored, although it has severe consequences on their mental and general health. Med Pr 2017;68(2):167-178

“…Analyzing the examined subjects' sex structure, females have been found to prevail over males, which is not unusual for researches involving the nurse population [26]. Regardless of established statistical signifi cance of subjects' distribution in our study, and gender relevance in job burnout development in some others [27][28][29], the participants' gender was not considered as a predictor of a higher frequency of job burnout in the observed sample, since nursing and other helping professions are predomi-served subjects are presented in Table 1.…”

“…In addition, statistically signifi cant diff erences have been also registered regarding the parentage of examined subjects: more than two-fi ft hs were childless. Almost all available and relevant job burnout studies report that this syndrome most frequently aff ects the population under 35 years of age (mean age of participants in this study was 33.8 years), single and childless, it may be easily concluded that signifi cant number of the subjects included in our study were at serious risk of professional exhaustion due to their sociodemographic characteristics [11,27,30].…”

Introduction:Professional burnout is a complicated state of mental, emotional and physical exhaustion, which mainly occurs among participants of so-called "helping professions". Regardless that intensive care units (ICU) have been recognized as one of the most stressful working environment in contemporary nursing, the burnout syndrome in the nursing profession is still under-investigated and neglected academic term in the scientifi c literature of Serbia and the surrounding countries. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of professional burnout among the intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, by using the inventory based on Freudenberger Burnout Scale. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study included 71 nurses who were employed in intensive care units of surgery, urology, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics, and otorhinolaryngology departments in University Hospital Center "Dr. Dragiša Mišović", which is one of fi ve University hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia, in July of 2017. Results: The statistical analysis of the data obtained in this study showed alarming results--burnout syndrome aff ected approximately one-third of the observed subjects, in form of manifested or severe job burnout. In the same time, another third of subjects were classifi ed in the category of burnout candidates. Conclusions: Burnout incidence in observed sample exceeds the mean incidence of job burnout among nurses in other European countries that has been reported in the literature. Notwithstanding some limitations of this study (non-standardized questionnaire that was used in this study and relatively small sample of study participants from only one health care institution), the authors strongly believe that the obtained results clearly indicate necessity of further research into the problem of burnout in the nursing profession.
