“…Studies have reported a marked increase in perceived stress levels and deterioration in the health of parents during the recent pandemic. This was especially true for mothers, who are considered more vulnerable to negative changes due to the need to combine maternal and professional roles (Ertek et al, 2022). The findings from our own study revealed that women with the shortest length of service, higher education, and mothers with more young children under their care experienced a particularly heavy emotional burden.…”

“…The findings from our own study revealed that women with the shortest length of service, higher education, and mothers with more young children under their care experienced a particularly heavy emotional burden. Lack of sufficient resources to protect young workers from the "reality shock", higher expectations of those with higher education in relation to the outcomes of their work, and caring for children when at risk of spreading the SARS-CoV-19 virus to members of one's own family were cited as reasons for these observations (Büyükbayram and Gül, 2022;Ertek et al, 2022). The following study examined the associations linking seniority, motherhood, and marital status with OBS symptoms and overweight and obesity (body mass index, BMI) in women working in emergency notification system centres (Załuski and Makara-Studzińska, 2022a).…”

“…Among women exhibiting signs of severe emotional exhaustion and overweight, mothers raising children were the most common group. The relationship between OBS and motherhood is explained by the occurrence of the work-home conflict (Ertek et al, 2022;Gupta and Srivastava, 2021). Being in a partnership-based relation was less likely to coincide with high rates of overweight and obesity compared to living alone.…”

The article presents an overview of emotional burdens that are typical of social professions, along with their causes, protective factors, and health implications. Particular attention is given to the demands associated with social interactions occurring between those helping and those asking for help, which are expressed by interpersonal communication. The subject matter is discussed using examples from the work environment of health care workers and staff at emergency call centres. The results of own research are compared with the findings of other current studies. The introduction presents information on the sources of emotional burden experienced by health care employees, taking into account the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The requirements associated with interpersonal communication are discussed using the concept of emotional labour. In the following part, the adverse consequences of emotional labour ‒ such as occupational burnout syndrome and health problems ‒ are discussed. They are illustrated with the results of our own study. The problems identified fall within two main domains. First, relationships linking emotional labour to the levels of empathy, work engagement, and professional burnout are examined. The second issue encompasses the predictors of job burnout including the demands of the work environment, marital status, and childcare burden, as well as personal resources in the form of the levels of perceived stress, generalised self-efficacy, and active hobbies. Negative changes pertaining to the levels of helplessness, burnout, and overweight and obesity relating to work during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented. The final part includes a summary and conclusions.

Bu çalışma, aile sağlığı merkezlerinde görev yapan aile hekimi ve aile sağlığı çalışanlarının Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde mesleki tükenmişlik, işten ayrılma niyeti ve pandemik kaygı durumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Kahramanmaraş ili merkezinde bulunan Aile Sağlığı Merkezinde çalışan 386 aile hekimi 355 aile sağlığı çalışanı olmak üzere toplamda 741 sağlık personeli oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, 392 sağlık personeli ile yürütülmüştür. Veri toplamak için Pandemi Tutum Ölçeği, İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Ölçeği ve Mesleki Tükenmişlik Ölçeği olmak üzere 3 ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın hipotezlerinin testinde korelasyon analizi ve çoklu regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, katılımcıların pandemi ile ilgili bireysel olarak olumsuz tutumlarının ve pandemide olumlu örgütsel tutumlarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Kişisel başarı hissi ve duyarsızlaşmanın orta, duygusal tükenme ve işten ayrılma niyetlerinin ise düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda pandemide olumsuz bireysel tutumun tükenme ve işten ayrılma niyetini artırdığı ve olumlu örgütsel tutumun ise tükenme ve işten ayrılma niyetini azalttığı saptanmıştır. Pandemi gerçeği, toplumun sağlık personeline ve onların sağlıklı, mutlu ve özverili bir şekilde çalışabilmesine olan ihtiyacı daha belirgin kılmıştır. Bu nedenle özellikle pandemi sürecinde daha da artan iş yükünün dengeli ve adaletli olmasının sağlanması ile tükenmişlik ve işten ayrılma niyetinin azaltılabileceği söylenebilir.
