“…Our findings are compatible with published studies that demonstrate an increased risk of burnout among women ( 23–25 , 36 , 46 ). In our study, the male sex of the employees also stood out as a significant variable for the higher PA subscale.…”

“…Our findings are compatible with published studies that demonstrated an increased risk of job burnout with increased age. Results of a study performed on the professional military personnel of the Serbian Armed Forces ( 46 ) showed that the highest level of burnout was measured on the subscales EE in military personnel aged 23–30 years of age ( p < 0.05). De Solana reported that being younger contributed to increased burnout levels ( 18 ).…”

IntroductionBurnout syndrome develops as a consequence of chronic stress among employees. The study objective was to examine what socio-descriptive characteristics of employees might be associated with the appearance of the occupational burnout and to evaluate the relationship between job burnout and the quality of life among security employees of the professional private security sector in Central Serbia.MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was performed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis and ANOVA post choc test was applied.ResultsA total of 353 respondents (330 male and 23 female) participated in the study. Female sex and older age were associated with a higher risk of total burnout and the development of emotional exhaustion while male sex, higher education, and managerial position were associated with higher personal achievement and lower risk of total burnout. Male sex, marital union, two or more children, and direct contact with clients were significantly associated with a lower quality of life of employees. A significant negative correlation was found between total burnout and the Physical Health Composite Score (PHC) score with a correlation coefficient (rs) of −0.265 (95%CI from −0.361 to −0.163); between total burnout and the and Mental Health Composite Score (MHC) score with a rs of −0.391 (95%CI from −0.480 to −0.301); and between total burnout and TQL score with a rs of −0.351 (95%CI from −0.445 to −0.258).ConclusionFemale sex and older age were associated with a higher risk of total burnout and the development of EE while a managerial position and higher education were protective factors in relation to the development of burnout. Male sex, marital union, two or more children, and direct contact with clients were significantly associated with a lower quality of life of the employees. Shift work significantly reduced the total quality of life, while managerial positions increased the quality of life.

“…Results of a study performed in the professional military personnel of Serbian Armed Forces ( 28 ) showed that the highest level of burnout was measured on the subscales Emotional exhaustion (EE) in military personnel aged 23–30 years of age ( p < 0.05) and anxiety increased with age ( p < 0.001). Total scores on the subscales EE and DP increased, while on the subscale PA decreased with the increase of the total score of Back Anxiety Inventory Scale ( p < 0.001).…”

Background: Burnout is a special a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity.Objectives: To evaluate the predictors of burnout among work staff in the seven private agencies for support and defense of persons and their property.Material and Method: We performed a multicentric cross-sectional study that involved representative sample of working staff from Agencies of Private Security in Central Serbia. Burnout was assessed using Maslach Burnout Inventory- (MBI)-Human Services Survey.Results: A total number of participants were 353 (330 men and 23 women). Measured level of burnout as assessed by high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment was 66.3, 82.4, and 13.4%, respectively. We identified that female gender, younger age, shorter work experience, working in shifts, working 12 h a day and more than 8–12 h a day as well as dissatisfaction with working conditions. Work in shifts, working 12 h a day and more than 8–12 h a day and dissatisfied with dissatisfaction with working conditions significantly increase the risk of total burnout.Conclusion: Our results showed that significant predictors for the development of burnout syndrome were female gender, younger age, shorter work experience, working in shifts, as well as dissatisfaction with working conditions.

“…Later, others differentiated the stressors into four groups based on the sources of risk in this profession [12]: management, the performance of tasks, the community, and the judicial system. These effects of the stress and stressors are not exclusive to the police profession but are faced by other related professions such as the armed forces and, in general, all the state security forces and corps [3,[13][14][15][16][17]. This is also the case with death anxiety, which has been able to develop in overflowing situations very close to death and which could interfere with professional development since it is not possible to identify it at the time [18].…”

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain, members of the State Security Forces and the Armed Forces have been mobilized to guarantee the security and mobility of the population and to support health institutions by providing personnel for care, creating field hospitals, transferring the sick and the dead, etc. The objective of this study was to determine the levels of burnout in these professionals using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale, both in its different subscales and its total value. The study was developed using a quantitative methodology through a simple random sample (n = 2182). An ad hoc questionnaire was administered including variables related to: (a) socio-demographic issues, (b) subjective perceptions about their working conditions and the need for psychological and psychiatric treatment, and (c) the Death Anxiety Scale developed by Collett–Lester, and the MBI. The results show high levels of burnout (28.5%) in all its subscales: emotional exhaustion (53.8%), depersonalization (58.0%), and lack of personal development (46.3%). The logistic regression verifies a series of predictive variables that coincide in each of the subscales. These data indicate the need to implement prevention and treatment measures for workers so that their, stress, and anxiety to which they are subjected during their professional activity does not become a norm that can have negative repercussions for them, especially given the risk of new pandemic waves.
