| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja: Glavni cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost prosocijalnih crta ličnosti sa simptomima depresije, anksioznosti i stresa u medicinskih sestara i tehničara (MST) zaposlenih u klinici za psihijatriju.
Nacrt studije: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje u Klinici za psihijatriju “Sveti Ivan“ u Zagrebu tijekom lipnja 2023. godine.
Ispitanici i metode: Ciljana populacija bili su MST-i zaposleni u psihijatrijskoj bolnici u neposrednom radu s pacijentima. Nije biran uzorak već je na sudjelovanje pozvana cijela dostupna populacija. Nezavisna varijabla bile su prosocijalne crte ličnosti mjerene pomoću Baterije prosocijalne ličnosti (engl. Prosocial Personality Batery; PSB). Ishod su bili simptomi distresa (depresije, anksioznosti i stresa) mjereni pomoću Ljestvice depresije, anksioznosti i stresa-21 (engl. Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale;DASS-21). Hipoteza je provjerena trima linearnim regresijskim analizama.
Rezultati: Uključene su 63 MST-a čiji je medijan (interkvartilni raspon) dobi iznosio 34 (24-42) godine. S rezultatima podljestvice DASS-21 za mjerenje depresije, statistički su značajno bile povezane crte prosocijalne ličnosti: osobna uznemirenost (PD) (r = 0,32; P = 0,01) i samoprijavljeni altruizam (r = 0,30; P = 0,02). S rezultatima druge dvije podljestvice DASS-21, anksioznošću i stresom, statistički je značajno bila povezana samo podljestvica za mjerenje specifične crte ličnosti osobne uznemirenosti (PD) (anksioznost: r = 0,54; P < 0,001; stres: 0,46; P < 0,001). Sklonost pomaganju bila je negativno povezana s anksioznošću (b = -0,29; P = 0,03).
Zaključak: Ovim istraživanjem djelomično je potvrđena hipoteza prema kojoj su jače izražene prosocijalne crte ličnosti povezane sa slabijom izraženošću simptoma depresije, anksioznosti i stresa kod MST-a zaposlenih u klinici za psihijatriju. |
| Abstract (english) | Objectives: The main goal of the research was to examine the association between prosocial
personality traits and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in nurses and technicians
(NaT) employed in a psychiatric clinic.
Study design: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the “St Ivan” Psychiatry Clinic in
Zagreb during June 2023.
Subjects and methods: The target population was NaT employed in a psychiatric hospital in
direct work with patients. A sample was not selected, but the entire available population was
invited to participate. The independent variable was prosocial personality traits measured
using the Prosocial Personality Battery. The outcome was symptoms of distress (depression,
anxiety, and stress) measured using the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The
hypothesis was tested using three linear regression analyses.
Results: 63 NaT were included whose median (interquartile range) age was 34 (24-42) years.
Prosocial personality traits that were statistically significantly associated with the results of
the DASS-21 subscale measuring depression were personal distress (PD) (r = 0.32; P = 0.01)
and self-reported altruism (r = 0.30 ; P = 0.02). Only the subscale measuring the specific
personality trait of personal distress (PD) was statistically significantly associated to the
results of the other two DASS-21 subscales: anxiety and stress (anxiety: r = 0.54; P < 0.001;
stress: 0.46; P < 0.001). Helplessness was significantly associated with anxiety (b = -0,29; P =
0,03).
Conclusion: This research partially confirmed the hypothesis according to which stronger
prosocial personality traits are associated with a lower prevalence of symptoms of depression,
anxiety and stress in the MST of employees in a psychiatric clinic. |
