| Sažetak | Uvod: Stres među zdravstvenim djelatnicima je ozbiljan problem zbog njihove odgovornosti za zdravlje i živote pacijenata. Kada zahtjevi posla premašuju sposobnosti pojedinca, dolazi do sindroma izgaranja: iscrpljenosti, distanciranja od posla i smanjene učinkovitosti. Mnogi u takvim situacijama traže podršku u vjeri, koja može pomoći u suočavanju sa stresom i promicanju duhovnog rasta.
Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi utječe li religioznost i religiozno suočavanje sa stresom pozitivno na prevenciju sindroma izgaranja kod medicinskih sestara/tehničara koji rade u bolničkom sektoru.
Metode: Ispitanici su bili medicinske sestre/tehničari koji rade u bolničkom sektoru. Istraživanje je provedeno u razdoblju od 01. srpnja 2023. do 30. rujna 2023. godine. Za provedbu istraživanja korištena su tri anketna upitnika ( upitnik o sociodemografskim podacima, RCOPE upitnik, Brief-COPE upitnik). Za potrebe diplomskog rada provedeno je presječno istraživanje.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 438 ispitanika, no analizirani su samo oni s najmanje 80% popunjenih odgovora, stoga je u RCOPE uključeno 219, a u Brief-COPE 208 ispitanika. Analizom rezultata RCOPE upitnika statistički značajna razlika između religioznih i nereligioznih ispitanika je utvrđena u 93 tvrdnje od njih 105. Prema dobivenim rezultatima može se utvrditi da religiozni ispitanici više uključuju religijske elemente u situacijama kad se suočavaju sa stresom poput molitve, oslanjanja na Božju ljubavi i brigu, priznanja grijeha, odlaska u crkvu, prepuštanja kontrole Bogu i slično. Analizom rezultata Brief-COPE upitnika statistički značajna razlika u odgovorima između religioznih i nereligioznih ispitanika utvrđena je u pet od 28 tvrdnji. Analiza Brief-COPE upitnika pokazuje da su nereligiozni ispitanici skloniji oslanjanju na aktivne strategije suočavanja i humor kao način ublažavanja stresa. Nereligiozni ispitanici također izražavaju svoje negativne osjećaje intenzivnije od religioznih ispitanika. Ipak, oba skupa ispitanika pokazuju sličnu razinu prihvaćanja realnosti situacije i sklonosti osjećaju krivnje.
Zaključak: Na temelju provedenih istraživanja može se utvrditi da postoji razlika u načinu suočavanja sa stresom između religioznih i nereligioznih ispitanika. Religiozni ispitanici češće koriste religijske strategije suočavanja, kao što su molitva i oslanjanje na duhovne elemente, što im pomaže u smanjenju rizika od sindroma izgaranja. S druge strane, nereligiozni ispitanici više koriste druge strategije, poput humora ili izražavanja negativnih emocija, te su skloniji
radu drugih aktivnosti poput odlaska u kino, gledanja televizije, čitanja, sanjarenja, spavanja, kupovine ili konzumiranju alkohola ili drugih opijata radi olakšanja u stresnim situacijama. Obje skupine pokazale su sličnu razinu prihvaćanja realnosti situacije i osjećaja krivnje. Rezultati ukazuju da religioznost može igrati bitnu ulogu u očuvanju mentalnog zdravlja i učinkovitom suočavanju sa stresom i njegovom prevencijom kod medicinskih sestara i tehničara u bolničkom sektoru. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Introduction: Stress among healthcare workers is a serious issue due to their responsibility for the health and lives of patients. When job demands exceed an individual's abilities, burnout syndrome occurs: exhaustion, detachment from work, and reduced efficiency. Many in such situations seek support in faith, which can help in coping with stress and promoting spiritual growth.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine whether religiosity and religious coping with stress positively influence the prevention of burnout syndrome among nurses/technicians working in the hospital sector.
Methods: The subjects were nurses working in the hospital sector. The research was conducted from July 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. Three survey questionnaires were used (a sociodemographic questionnaire, the RCOPE questionnaire, and the Brief-COPE questionnaire). A cross-sectional study was conducted for the purposes of the thesis.
Results: A total of 438 participants took part in the study, but only those with at least 80% of completed responses were analyzed. Therefore, 219 were included in the RCOPE and 208 in the Brief-COPE analysis. The RCOPE questionnaire results revealed a statistically significant difference between religious and non-religious participants in 93 out of 105 statements. The results show that religious participants are more likely to include religious elements in stress-coping situations, such as prayer, relying on God's love and care, confession of sins, going to church, surrendering control to God, and similar practices. The Brief-COPE questionnaire results revealed statistically significant differences between religious and non-religious participants in 5 out of 28 statements. The Brief-COPE analysis shows that non-religious participants are more inclined to rely on active coping strategies and humor as a way to alleviate stress. Non-religious participants also express their negative feelings more intensely than religious ones. However, both groups demonstrate similar levels of acceptance of the reality of the situation and feelings of guilt.
Conclusion: Based on the research conducted, it can be determined that there is a difference in how religious and non-religious participants cope with stress. Religious participants are more likely to use religious coping strategies, such as prayer and reliance on spiritual elements, which help them reduce the risk of burnout syndrome. On the other hand, non-religious participants tend to use other strategies, such as humor or expressing negative emotions, and
are more likely to engage in activities like going to the cinema, watching television, reading, daydreaming, sleeping, shopping, or consuming alcohol or other substances to relieve stress. Both groups showed similar levels of acceptance of the reality of the situation and feelings of guilt. The results suggest that religiosity can play an important role in maintaining mental health and effectively coping with stress, as well as in preventing burnout among nurses and technicians in the hospital sector. |
