Constantly exposing individuals to high levels of stress can have a lot of health consequences. This is mainly caused by an individual not being correctly prepared, or due to the lack of appropriate support or skills required, in order to cope with requests or demands. This leads to growing problems not being solved soon enough, and the person ends up in a state of high emotional tension. All internal bodily systems become exhausted, which can result in illness and diseases. Due to problems coping with difficult or new tasks at work, self-esteem is lowered, which can adversely affect both the employee and the employer, which in turn affects the entire workplace. For that reason, the aim of this article is to communicate the research results of the professional burnout phenomenon, based on the analysis of selected literature concerning the subject.

Narażenie ludzi na utrzymujący się wysoki poziom stresu może wywoływać wiele konsekwencji zdrowotnych. Spowodowane jest to przede wszystkim tym, że człowiek nie jest przygotowany lub nie ma odpowiedniego wsparcia czy umiejętności do radzenia sobie z postawionymi przed nim wymaganiami. Prowadzi to do tego, że narastające problemy nie zostają na czas rozwiązane, a człowiek znajduje się w stanie wysokiego napięcia emocjonalnego. Następuje pobudzenie całego układu wewnętrznego jego organizmu, co powodować może wystąpienie wielu chorób. Ze względu na problemy z radzeniem sobie z trudnymi lub nowymi zadaniami w pracy obniża się poczucie własnej wartości, co niekorzystnie może wpływać zarówno na pracownika, jak i na pracodawcę, a co z kolei odbija się na całej organizacji. Stąd też celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja wyników badań dotyczących zjawiska wypalenia zawodowego opartych na analizie wybranej literatury przedmiotu.

Objectives: Adapting to stress over time is a process involving various cognitive and emotional assessments; it also depends on the objective situation related to working conditions, as well as on individual factors. The aim of this paper is to outline the dynamic nature of stress experienced by workers employed on oil rigs over a period of 20 years. The presented research is part of a larger project and concerns subjective stress. Material and Methods: Longitudinal studies included the analysis of data regarding the period of 1993–2014. They concerned 167 Polish oil rig workers, all men; the average age at the beginning of the study was 29 years. Each employee was surveyed at least 4 times over a period of 20 years at intervals of 4–6 years in the workplace. The subjective level of stress at work (based on the Subjective Job Evaluation Questionnaire) and the level of declared stress (based on the Stress Survey) were examined. Results: Oil rig workers show different adaptations to stress over a long term, depending on their subjective perception of stress. Baseline stress levels can vary from person to person over the years. The first group was characterized by high initial stress, but the stress decreased systematically over 20 years (“stress resisting”). Employees from the second group were characterized by low initial stress, but declared a systematic increase in stress in the same period (“stress sensitizing”). Finally, employees from the third group adapted to stress in a flexible way, with subjective stress being most strongly associated with objective stress (“flexible group”). Conclusions: The presented prospective study showed differences between the subjective levels of stress depending on the distinguished groups over 20 years, i.e., between-group and intra-group variability. The method of prospective research shows that the perception of stress at work is a dynamic process and it changes over time.

Objectives Employees of uniformed services (EoUS) were screened for cardiovascular risk factors. Material and Methods A total of 1138 EoUS (age M±SD 49.9±6.0 years) and 263 controls (age M±SD 54.4±9.7 years) under the care of the cardiology clinic in Gdańsk, Poland, were included in the study. Medical history and blood samples were collected, and a physical examination was performed. Ten-year cardiovascular risk of death was calculated using the systematic coronary risk evaluation (SCORE) risk algorithm for high-risk countries. Results Significantly higher values of mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, mean total cholesterol level and mean BMI were recorded among the EoUS compared to controls (M±SD 141.7±11.6 mm Hg vs. 135.5±11.0 mm Hg, p < 0.001; 90.1±5.9 mm Hg vs. 84.5±6.8 mm Hg, p < 0.001; 6.01±0.76 mmol vs. 5.44±0.87 mmol, p < 0.001; 29.3±4.7 vs. 29.0±4.1, p < 0.001, respectively). Smoking cigarettes was most frequently reported by the youngest group (20–39 years old) – 47.7% and it was significantly higher in the entire EoUS group compared to control group (35.5% vs. 16.7%, p = 0.001). The occurrence of observed risk factors (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg, total cholesterol concentration >5 mmol, smoking,) was significantly higher among EoUS compared to controls (92.1% vs. 57.8%, p < 0.001; 89.0% vs. 66.9%, p < 0.001; 35.5% vs. 16.7%, p < 0.001, respectively). In the male group, the mean calculated ten-year risk of fatal cardiovascular events, the percentage of high calculated risk, and very high risk were higher in the EoUS group compared to controls (M±SD 4.44±3.49 vs. 4.23±3.86, p = 0.001; 23.7% vs. 20.2%, p = 0.007; 7.4% vs. 6.5%, p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusions The prevalence of all identified risk factors was found to be higher among employees of uniformed services when compared to the control group. The presence of these risk factors within the population of uniformed service employees results in a greater risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

Objectives The study has aimed to identify the relations between the supplementary person–organization fit (P–O fit) and the perceived stress among managerial staff, with special regard to the mediating role of the effort–reward balance. Material and Methods The study sample consisted of 715 middle-level managers, aged 25–64 years old, employed in large companies. To measure the selected variables, the authors used the Questionnaire of Effort–Reward Imbalance (ERI), Perceived Stress Scale – 10 (PSS-10), and Person–Organization Fit Questionnaire. Results The regression analysis revealed that the perceived effort–reward imbalance partially mediated the negative relationship between the supplementary person–organization fit and stress. Conclusions The results suggest that even when the characteristics of the manager and organization are highly congruent, the managers will experience stress if their work involves heavy effort or when this effort is not compensated properly.

Objectives The analysis of the relationship between stress at work and results of cognitive functions amongst women, at peri- and post-menopausal age, performing intellectual work. Material and Methods The study group included women, aged 45–66 years old, employed as intellectual workers. Research instruments were: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; computer tests of the CNS Vital Signs; the Subjective Work Characteristics Questionnaire, and a questionnaire designed by the author. The results were statistically analyzed. Results Nearly a half of respondents experienced high stress at the place of work; 1/3 – on the average level, on a low level – every fifth. The largest number of respondents experienced stress caused by social contacts. Among a half of the women, stress was caused by the lack of awards at work, followed by the lack of support. Slightly fewer of them experienced stress caused by the feeling of psychological load related to the complexity of work or the feeling of uncertainty caused by the organization of work. Every third woman experienced stress due to the sense of responsibility or the lack of control. The smallest number experienced stress caused by physical arduousness, the sense of threat and unpleasant working conditions. The examined women obtained the best results with respect to simple attention, the worst results – with respect to the reaction time. The results concerning the remaining 9 cognitive functions were ranked in the middle of the aforementioned results. The intensity of stress at work and factors which caused this stress, negatively correlated with simple attention of women in the early peri-menopausal period, while positively correlating with the psychomotor and processing speed of women in the late peri-menopausal period. Among the post-menopausal women, negative correlations were observed between the majority of cognitive functions and the intensity of stress at work, and the majority of factors which caused this stress. Conclusions Cognitive functions of the examined women remained within the range of average evaluations, and were correlated with stress-inducing factors at the place of work.

People working in the legal professions are particularly vulnerable to work-related stress. So far, studies conducted mainly in the United States show that lawyers are experiencing mental health problems, and this applies to every third person working in such professions. However, there are still no analyses of the health and well-being of Polish lawyers. This article presents a part of the results of a nationwide survey on the well-being of representatives of this professional group, which aimed to fill this gap. The main research problem concerned the determination of the level of stress experienced by Polish lawyers. Our goal was also to determine how much time lawyers spend engaged in their work (what is the quantitative workload) and how it relates to their perceived stress at work. It was also important to analyse the stress experienced by lawyers in the context of the stage of professional career development, the legal profession, and the field of law practiced by them. The results of the research (N = 1,779) indicate that the level of stress perceived at work by Polish lawyers is high, regardless of the legal profession they work in or in what field of law they practice, both at the beginning of their careers and by experienced professionals. The heavy workload, which constitutes a serious risk factor for the deterioration of their health, is also a source of concern.

Osoby pracujące w zawodach prawniczych są szczególnie narażone na stres związany z pracą. Badania na ten temat, prowadzone do tej pory głównie w Stanach Zjednoczonych, pokazują, że prawnicy mają problemy ze zdrowiem psychicznym i dotyczy to co trzeciej osoby pracującej w takich zawodach. Wciąż jednak brakuje analiz zdrowia i samopoczucia polskich prawników. W artykule przedstawiono fragment wyników ogólnopolskiego badania na temat samopoczucia przedstawicieli tej grupy zawodowej, które miało wypełnić tę lukę. Główny problem badawczy dotyczył określenia poziomu stresu doświadczanego przez polskich prawników. Naszym celem było również ustalenie, ile czasu prawnicy faktycznie poświęcają na wykonywanie swojej pracy (jakie jest ilościowe obciążenie pracą) i jak się to wiąże z poziomem postrzeganego przez nich stresu w pracy. Ważna była również analiza stresu, jakiego doświadczają prawnicy w kontekście etapu rozwoju kariery zawodowej, wykonywanego zawodu prawniczego oraz praktykowanej dziedziny prawa. Wyniki badań (N = 1779) wskazują, że poziom odczuwanego stresu w pracy przez polskich prawników jest wysoki, niezależnie od zawodu prawniczego, w którym pracują czy w jakiej dziedzinie prawa praktykują, zarówno na początku kariery, jak i przez doświadczonych specjalistów. Niepokojące jest również duże obciążenie pracą, które stanowi poważny czynnik ryzyka pogorszenia stanu ich zdrowia.
