Selan, Žiga (author), Vuga Beršnak, Janja (author)

Pandemija, ki jo je povzročil virus SARSCoV-2, Sloveniji ni prizanesla, nasprotno, terjala je dolgotrajen in izčrpavajoč odziv zaposlenih v nekaterih kritičnih poklicih. Ti so bili v obdobju pandemije, upoštevajoč omejitve in potrebe po povečanem obsegu dela, izpostavljeni vrsti dejavnikov, ki so zaznamovali njihovo zdravstveno počutje in splošno dobrobit. V članku predstavljamo – s pomočjo kvantitativnega merskega instrumenta pridobljene – samoocene zaposlenih v kritičnih poklicih (zdravstveno osebje, policisti/-ke, pripadniki/-ice Slovenske vojske) glede njihovega občutenja stresa, obremenitev in depresije, in sicer v izbranem obdobju pandemije, t.j. med marcem 2020 in junijem 2022. Raziskava pokaže, da je 30% anketirancev/-k v kritičnih poklicih občutilo depresijo. Nadalje, rezultati kažejo povezanost med depresijo in dejavniki pandemije (r = .567, p = < 0.01) pri vseh preučevanih poklicih.

Abstract

The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus did not spare Slovenia. On the contrary, it called for a long-term and exhausting response from employees in certain critical professions. During the pandemic, noting the restrictions and need for a greater volume of work, they were exposed to a series of factors that affected their health and general well-being. In the article, we present self-assessments obtained with the help of a quantitative measurement instrument of employees in critical professions (medical personnel, police officers, members of the Slovenian Armed Forces) with regard to their feelings of stress, strain and depression during the selected period of the pandemic, between March 2020 and June 2022. The survey shows that 30% of respondents in a critical profession felt depressed. Further, the results show a correlation between depression and pandemic factors (r = .567, p = < 0.01) in all professions under study.
