Abstract

Stres in izgorelost se v današnjem času pogosteje pojavljata tako med posamezniki kot tudi v poklicnem svetu. Za enega izmed bolj stresnih poklicev velja policijski poklic. Z opravljanjem številnih nalog se policisti izpostavljajo nevarnim in nepredvidljivim situacijam, zato so posledično bolj podvrženi stresu in v primeru neustreznega zdravljenja se lahko razvije izgorelost. Izgorelost je stanje telesne, duševne in čustvene izčrpanosti, ki je posledica dolgotrajnega stresa. Nastane zaradi preobremenjenega dela, nesposobnosti doseči želene rezultate oziroma kadar posameznik ni zmožen slediti delovnim zahtevam. Zaradi tega je ključnega pomena pravočasno odkrivanje oziroma ugotavljanje odstopanj pri vsakem zaposlenem. Nezmožnost obvladovanja lastnih občutkov ima lahko na dolgi rok večjo škodo, zato se v policiji zavzemajo za razne delavnice in psihološko podporo policistom. V primeru neustreznega zdravljenja se lahko razvije PTSM, kateri lahko sledi zloraba alkohola in drog. V obdobju koronavirusa, ki je Slovenijo doletel leta 2020, so v večji meri nadzorni varnostni organi morali opravljati terensko delo in tako niso imeli možnosti dela od doma. Policisti so v času epidemije koronavirusa poleg vsakdanjega rutinskega dela morali upoštevati dodatne ukrepe za uspešno zajezitev okužbe. Ti so se v zelo kratkem času neprestano spreminjali. Delo v tem času je za policiste pomenilo večji obseg dela na terenu in posledično večjo dovzetnost za okužbo s covidom-19. Med tem časom je bila ključnega pomena tudi komunikacija z ljudmi, saj so bili zaradi stanja in ukrepov v državi nerazumevajoči. V zaključnem delu smo s pomočjo pregleda literature predstavili še ostale posledice stresa in izgorelosti pred časom epidemije. Prav tako smo se osredotočili na posledice izgorelosti in kako se le te kažejo v zasebnem življenju. Da bi ugotovili obremenjenost z delom v času epidemije in okoliščine, ki privedejo do izgorelosti, smo opravili intervju z dvema policistoma iz Policijske postaje Ljubljana Center.

Secondary title:	Burnout of police officers during COVID-19
Secondary abstract:	Stress and burnout are becoming increasingly common occurrences, both among individuals and in the professional world. The police occupation is considered to be one of the more stressful occupations. By performing a variety of tasks, police officers are exposed to dangerous and unpredictable situations. As a consequence, they are more prone to stress, which can lead to burnout if left untreated. Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion resulting from prolonged stress. It is caused by overwork, an inability to achieve the desired results or when an individual is unable to keep up with the demands of their job. For this reason, it is essential to detect or identify deviations from duties for each employee in a timely manner. Failure to manage one's feelings can have a greater detrimental effect in the long run, which is why the police force is advocating participation at various workshops and providing psychological support for police officers. If such feelings are not addressed properly, PTSD can develop, possibly leading to alcohol and drug abuse. During the covid-19 pandemic, which hit Slovenia in 2020, the supervisory security bodies had to do more field work and were thus not able to work from home. In addition to performing their daily routine work, police officers had to observe additional measures to successfully contain the spread of infection. However, these measures were changing nearly every week. Working during this time meant a higher volume of field work for police officers and consequently a higher susceptibility to infection with covid-19. Moreover, communication with people was also crucial, as they were unsympathetic due the state of affairs and the measures taken in the country. For the final part, we reviewed the related literature to present other implications of stress and burnout that had been observed before the time of the pandemic. We also focus on the consequences of burnout and how they manifest themselves in private life. To establish the workload during the covid-19 pandemic and the circumstances leading to burnout, we interviewed two police officers from Ljubljana Centre police station.
