Poklicna izgorelost vzgojiteljev predšolskih otrok - resnica ali utvara : diplomska naloga

Nikoloska, Biljana (author), Batistič-Zorec, Marcela (mentor)

Stres je naš vsakdanji spremljevalec. Omogoča nam, da se prilagajamo nenehnim spremembam. Problem nastopi, ko smo mu izpostavljeni daljše časovno obdobje. Takrat nas lahko privede do izgorelosti. Poklicna izgorelost nastopi postopoma kot odgovor na stalne pritiske na delovnem mestu. Telo nas opozarja z znaki, da ne zmore več. Ignoranca le-teh vodi v adrenalni zlom. Vzgojitelji predšolskih otrok opravljajo zahtevno delo, ki lahko povzroča stres in izgorelost. Načrtujejo, izvajajo in vrednotijo vzgojno-izobraževalni proces, hkrati pa so vpeti v nenehen intenziven odnos z otroki, njihovimi starši, sodelavci in ostalimi člani pedagoškega tima. Prav tako se morajo izobraževati v celotni profesionalni karieri. Vsi te dejavniki gotovo vplivajo na morebitno izgorelost. Pritisk predstavlja tudi ocenjevanje s strani okolice in zahteve staršev, zato vzgojitelji lahko podvomijo tudi v lastno učinkovitost. Namen diplomske naloge je osvetliti problem poklicnega izgorevanja in preveriti prisotnost znakov izgorelosti med vzgojitelji predšolskih otrok. Raziskavo sem izvedla med vzgojitelji predšolskih otrok v vrtcih v Ljubljani in okolici. Rezultati kažejo, da je v zadnjih 12 mesecih pri nekaj (17,6 %) anketiranih vzgojiteljih prisotna tretjina ali več znakov izgorevanja. Dobra polovica (56 %) ima občutek, da se jim obseg dela nenehno povečuje, medtem ko več kot četrtini (26,5 %) le včasih uspe v delovnem času in času, namenjenim pripravam, opraviti vse zadolžitve. Izkazalo se je, da večina vzgojiteljev ne dovoli, da bi jih občutek utrujenosti oviral pri delu in da raje ustrežejo drugim, kot rečejo ne. Stres pri večini anketiranih ni pretiran, kar potrjuje tudi dejstvo, da bi si večina (76 %) ponovno izbrala isti poklic.

• Title: Professional burnout of preschool teachers – does it truly exist

Abstract

Stress is something that very few of us escape - something that we probably all have to think about as it follows us every day. To a certain extent stress enables us to adapt to continuous life changes. However, problems arise when we are exposed to it for longer periods of time. In such cases, stress can lead to burnout. Occupational burnout develops gradually as an answer to continuous pressure in the workplace. It has a negative effect on the body and puts our health at risk. The body starts sending out warning signals to remind us of its burnout condition, and if we choose to ignore these signals, we can risk adrenal burnout. The work of preschool teachers is demanding and can lead to work-related stress and burnout. Preschool teachers plan, carry out and evaluate the educational process while being involved in a constant and intense relationship with children, parents, coworkers, and other members of the pedagogical team. At the same time, it is required of preschool teachers to participate in continuous professional learning during their entire careers. All these factors most definitely contribute to the eventual burnout. Among other factors of stress that may contribute to burnout among preschool teachers and make them question their own efficiency are also the requirements of parents and the environment which carefully monitors and assesses their teaching skills. The purpose of this graduation thesis is to expose the problem of occupational burnout among preschool teachers and to check for the presence of burnout signs that they might display. I have conducted this survey among preschool teachers working in kindergartens in and around Ljubljana. The survey found that some respondents (17,6 %) have shown more than a third of burnout signs in the last 12 months. More than half of the respondents (56 %) believe that their workload is constantly on the increase while more than a quarter of the respondents (26,5 %) believe that they only sometimes manage to carry out all their assignments during the working time. The survey results have shown that the majority of preschool teachers participating in the survey do not allow their feelings of tiredness to interfere with their work. On the basis of the survey results, it might be concluded that the majority of the respondents do not show major signs of stress, and that they would definitely choose the same profession again.
