Abstract

Delo z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju je zelo zahtevno in povzroča različne profesionalne obremenitve, ki lahko privedejo do stresa in v skrajni obliki do izgorevanja. Raziskava proučuje doživljanje izgorevanja pri delu z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju in kako le-to vpliva na posameznikovo delo in življenjsko funkcioniranje. V raziskavi sem ugotovila, kaj je posameznike motiviralo, da so se odločili za izbiro svojega poklica, kateri dejavniki so jim povzročali profesionalne obremenitve pri delu z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju in kako so le-ti vplivali na življenje in delo posameznika. Ugotavljala sem, katere znake stresa oziroma izgorevanja posamezniki opažajo pri sebi. Zanimalo me je, če obstajajo razlike v doživljanju izgorevanja med tistimi, ki so na začetku svoje poklicne poti, in tistimi, ki že imajo večletne delovne izkušnje. Nadalje sem preučevala, ali obstajajo razlike med posamezniki, ki delajo z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju individualno oziroma skupinsko. Prav tako sem poizvedovala, ali je med strokovnjaki, ki so po svoji izobrazbi specialni in rehabilitacijski pedagogi, in tistimi, ki imajo drugačno izobrazbo, opravljajo pa delo specialnega in rehabilitacijskega pedagoga, kakšna razlika v doživljanju izgorevanja. Obenem sem preverjala, kako se posamezniki spopadajo z izgorevanjem in kdo jim pri tem nudi podporo. Za zbiranje podatkov sem uporabila deskriptivno metodo in tehniko delno strukturiranega intervjuja. Raziskovalni pristop je bil kvalitativen. Vzorec je sestavljal 10 delavcev, ki delajo z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju, so strokovnjaki različnih profilov in imajo na tem področju različno dolge delovne izkušnje. Ugotovila sem, da povzroča delo z osebami z motnjo v duševnem razvoju pri posameznikih podobne znake stresa/izgorevanja, vendar začetniki v tem poklicu tega ne občutijo. Posamezniki za spopadanje z obremenitvami uporabljajo podobne spoprijemalne strategije. To so različni osebni – gibanje, branje, delo na sebi, sprememba okolja in družabnost, ter socialni viri – podpora vodstva, sodelavcev in družine, intervizija in supervizija. Razlike v doživljanju stresa/izgorevanja so se pokazale le v primerjavi tistih, ki nimajo veliko delovnih izkušenj, in tistih, ki imajo že večletne izkušnje, saj so pri slednjih nekateri že doživeli občutek ugasnjenosti in popolne izgorelosti, zato je pomoč potrebna. Na temelju rezultatov raziskave sem osvetlila problem izgorevanja s subjektivne perspektive in podala napotke za učinkoviteje spoprijemanje s tem problemom na ravni posameznika in vzgojno-izobraževalnih ustanov (delodajalcev).

Secondary title: Experiencing burnout in working with people with mental disorders
Secondary abstract: Working with people who have intellectual disabilities is very difficult and causes different professional burden, which can lead to stress and in some cases also to burnout. This study examines how teachers, who work with people with intellectual disabilities, experience burnout and how it affects on their job and life functioning. In the research I found out teachers’ motivation for their occupation, factors which caused professional burdening while working with people with intellectual disabilities as well as their affects on individual’s life and work. I investigated which stress or burnout signs have individuals, who participated in the research, identified in themselves. The study also aims to examine whether there is a difference in experiencing burnout at work between beginning teachers in the early years of their career and experienced teachers who have many years of working experience. Furthermore, I studied if there are any differences between individuals who work with people with intellectual disabilities individually or in groups. Then I also inquired the difference between special education teachers and other professionals who have different education but work as special education teachers in experiencing burnout. Moreover, I examined how individuals manage burnout and who helps and supports them. The descriptive method of research and qualitative approach were used for this study. Semi-structured interviews were selected as the means of data collection. Research sample consists of ten employees, who work with people with intellectual disabilities and have different education and working experience in this particular field. I found out that research participants have similar signs of stress/burnout, except the beginning teachers who have no problems with stress/burnout. Individuals use very similar burnout coping strategies to overcome work-related stressors. Burnout coping strategies they use are different like exercise, reading, change of environment, sociability and social sources – support of leadership, co-workers and family, intervision and supervision. The differences in experiencing stress/burnout are evident between beginning teachers, who have little working experience, and experienced teachers, who have many years of working experience. Some of the latter already experienced the feeling of being burnout, which is why they need help. Based on the results of the research I explained the problem of burnout from subjective perspective and give effective burnout prevention strategies useful at the individual level and at the level of educational institutions (employers).
