description Introduction. Burnout is recognized as an important individual and social problem. Occupations at increased risk of burnout include: doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, policemen and emergency service workers. Aim. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of selected socio-demographic variables on the level of occupational burnout in neurological and neurosurgical nurses. Material and Methods. The research was carried out on a group of 206 nurses employed in thirteen neurological and neurosurgical centres in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. By means of a diagnostic survey, the level of occupational burnout was assessed using a questionnaire survey. Results. When analysing the impact of socio-demographic variables on occupational burnout, the following results were obtained for: gender (0.939), age (0.071), workplace (0.239), marital status (0.657), education (0.330), distance to the workplace (0.773), years of experience (0.013) and position held (0.552). Only work experience in the profession had a statistically significant, low correlation with the results of the level of occupational burnout (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The examined group of nurses showed a low level of occupational burnout. The vast majority of nurses felt satisfied with their work. There was no significant influence of socio-demographic variables on the level of occupational burnout. (JNNN 2021;10(4):162–167)
