Психоемоционално състояние на работещите в кардиологична клиника

Abstract

Introduction: Psychosocial risks and stress at the workplace are among the greatest challenges to occupational safety and health.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the socio-psychological factors affecting the psycho-emotional state of the employees at the Cardiology Clinic.

Materials and Methods: Forty-seven people working at the Cardiology Clinic at St. George University Hospital in Plovdiv were examined. The psychometric diagnostic method - Self-Diagnostic Diagnostic Test for Personality and Neuroticity (Assoc. Prof. N. Masoshov, 1982) was used for the purposes of the study.

Results: The prevalence, frequency and severity of stress among the staff at the Cardiology Clinic was significant, with a tendency to increase. The reason was the existence of a number of stressful factors of organizational, professional and social nature that add stress to the already existing level of stress.

Conclusions: Prolonged exposure of workers risk to etiological factors could lead not only to neurotic disorders but also to certain socially significant (mainly psychosomatic) illnesses.

Despite the positive nature of the results obtained, every opportunity should be used to reduce mental stress by creating optimum conditions for calm and creative work environment, emphasizing also the considerable need for self-discipline and self-control of the employees themselves in terms of protecting their health
