U ovom istraživanju procenjivana su psihometrijska svojstva Maslaš upitnika za samoprocenu sindroma izgaranja na poslu za nastavnike (eng. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey MBI-ES). Prisustvo sindroma izgaranja, povezanost prisustva sindroma sa osobinama ličnosti, namerom za promenom karijere i radom u inostranstvu, procenjeni su u multicentričnom istraživanju koje je sprovedeno među nastavnicima zaposlenim na tri medicinska fakulteta na Zapadnom Balkanu tokom 2019. godine. Osobine ličnosti procenjene su korišćenjem Upitnika za procenu bazičnih dimenzija ličnosti Velikih pet plus dva (VP+2–70) (eng. Big Five Plus Two Questionnaire–70). U istraživanju je učestvovalo 246 nastavnika i saradnika zaposlenih ne medicinskom fakultetu, pretežno žena (61%). Trofaktorska struktura MBI-ES upitnika (iscrpljenost, cinizam i profesionalna efikasnost) je validirana primenom konfirmatorne faktorske analize. Analiza interne konzistentnosti ukazala je na pouzdanost skale (Kronbah alfa koeficijent od 0,785). Prevod i kulturološka adaptacija sprovedeni su prema internacionalno prihvaćenim principima. Sprovođenje istraživanja odobreno je od Etičkih komiteta svih medicinskih fakulteta koji su učestvovali u istraživanju. Većina ispitanika (85,6%) je prijavila umeren nivo sagorevanja. Agresivnost, neurotičnost i negativna valentnost bili su u korelaciji sa emocionalnom iscrpljenošću i depersonalizacijom, dok su ekstravertnost, savesnost, otvorenost i pozitivna valentnost bile povezane sa ličnim postignućem. Emocionalna iscrpljenost i depersonalizacija u modelu multivarijantne regresije bili su značajno povezani sa namerom promene karijere i radom u inostranstvu (p < 0,05). Ovo istraživanje je ukazalo je na odgovarajuća metrička svojstva srpske verzije MBI-ES. Prisustvo sindroma izgaranja, koje je prepoznato kao čest problem kod nastavnika i saradnika medicinskih fakulteta, direktno je povezano sa osobinama ličnosti i uticalo je na nameru promene karijere i rada u inostranstvu.

The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Maslach Burnout Inventory —Educators Survey (MBI-ES). The presence of burnout syndrome, its relationship with personality traits, intention to change career and work abroad were assessed in a cross-sectional multi-center trial conducted among educators at three medical faculties in the Western Balkans during 2019. Personality traits were assessed by the Big Five Plus Two questionnaire. In total, 246 medical faculty members, predominantly females (61%), were enrolled. The three-factor structure of the MBI-ES questionnaire (exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy) was validated. Analysis of internal consistency yielded a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.785, indicating scale reliability. Translation and cultural adaptation were made based on internationally accepted principles. The approval was obtained from the Ethics committees of all medical faculties that participated in the research. The majority of respondents (85.6%) reported moderate level of burnout. Aggressiveness, neuroticism, and negative valence were associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while extraversion, conscientiousness, openness, and positive valence correlated with personal accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in a multivariate regression model were significantly associated with intentions to change career and work abroad (p < 0.05). The present study provided evidence for the appropriate metric properties of the Serbian version of MBI-ES. Presence of burnout syndrome, which was identified as a common problem in medical academia, and directly linked to personality traits, affected intention to career change and work abroad.
