“…The burnout scores of the caregivers in our study were higher than some other studies' scores as assessed by MBI (3,22,24). In one of them, 133 caregivers of patients with mental illnesses from a 2-year intervention program were evaluated.…”

“…It included 94 caregivers of depressive patients (22). Because of the fact that the Turkish version of the MBI is formed by 5 Likert items rather than the original 7 point Likert scale, we adjusted the scores with a coefficient for a correct comparison as done in a previous study (3,18,19). Exhaustion and depersonalization scores of our study were higher than the scores of caregivers in the intervention program (adjusted 7-point Likert MBI emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores in our study: 20.37 ± 11.41, 7.00 ± 4.75 versus 12.63 ± 12.30, 5.09 ± 5.74 in Angermeyer et al 's) (22).…”

Background/aim: To evaluate the burnout of schizophrenia patients' caregivers and to determine the possible relationships between sociodemographic characteristics, symptomatology, perceived social support, and the burnout profile of the caregivers. Materials and methods:Subjects included in the study are 76 schizophrenia patients, diagnosed according to DSM-IV-TR criteria, and their caregivers. A sociodemographic form, the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms, and the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms were applied to evaluate the severity of the symptoms. The Maslach Burnout Inventory for Caregivers and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were applied to the caregivers of the patients. The collected data were analyzed via Student's t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results:The burnout profile of the caregivers was highly correlated with the perceived social support of the caregivers and was also correlated with negative symptoms of the patients. Lower perceived social support was related to all subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Conclusion:Perceived social support is a major factor for caregiver burnout and it was highly correlated with all subscales in our study. We think that having social support provides caregivers with better feelings and so they provide better help to the patients. Appropriate approaches should be taken to intervene in the social and clinical factors that may exacerbate the burnout process.

“…V důsledku syndromu vyhoření se objevují limitace v sociálním životě pečovatele a nedostatek pozitivního náhledu na pečování (13). Pečovatel pociťuje úzkost a nemá dostatek energie ke zvládání náročné situace (15). Vzhledem k těmto nepříznivým doprovodným somatickým i duševním stavům, je nezbytné zaměřit se na prevenci zátěže a syndromu vyhoření u rodinných pečujících a identifikovat u nich konkrétní zátěžové faktory.…”

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
