Abstract | Cilj istraživanja je bio utvrditi razlike u intenzitetu stresa, učestalosti simptoma stresa i razini sagorijevanja između studenata psihologije na Hrvatskim studijima i ostalih studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu te utvrditi jesu li spol, godina studija, broj nepoloženih ispita, status veze i razina socijalne podrške značajni prediktori sagorijevanja i stresa. Istraţivanje je provedeno na 728 studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, od čega je 225 studenata psihologije Hrvatskih studija, te 503 studenata ostalih studija. Sudionici su ispunili upitnik sociodemografskih varijabli, socijalne podrške, Oldenburški upitnik sagorijevanja, Upitnik za samoprocjenu intenziteta simptoma stresa te Listu za procjenu izvora stresa i njihove stresnosti kod studenata. Podaci studenata psihologije su prikupljeni metodom papir-olovka, dok su podaci za ostale studente prikupljeni online upitnikom, koji je proslijeđen sudionicima putem društvenih mreža. Rezultati istraţivanja su pokazali da studenti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu imaju umjereno povišenu razinu sagorijevanja, kao i umjereni intenzitet stresa, te doživljavaju simptome stresa na mjesečnoj razini. Značajnim prediktorima razine neangaţiranosti su se pokazali broj nepoloţenih ispita, podrška nastavnika i kolega s fakulteta te status veze, dok su za razinu iscrpljenosti to bili također broj nepoloţenih ispita i podrška nastavnika, kao i godina studija, spol i podrška roditelja. Ispitivanjem razlika između studenata psihologije i ostalih studenata, utvrđeno je da se statistički značajno razlikuju s obzirom na dimenzije sagorijevanja (neangaţiranost i iscrpljenost) te simptome i intenzitet stresa, na način da studenti psihologije postiţu niţe rezultate na navedenim varijablama, ali je veličina efekta tih razlika jako mala.

Abstract (english) | The aim of the study was to determine differences in stress intensity, frequency of stress symptoms and level of burnout between students of psychology at the Centre for Croatian studies and other students at the University of Zagreb and to determine whether gender, year of study, number of failed exams, relationship status and level of perceived social support were predictors of burnout. The research was conducted on 728 students at the University of Zagreb – 225 students of psychology at the Centre for Croatian studies and 503 students of other studies. Participants completed sociodemographic questionnaire, social support questionnaire, Oldenburg burnout inventory, Questionnaire for self evaluation of stress symptoms intensity and List for evaluation of stress sources and their stressfulness among students. Data from psychology students were collected by paper-pencil method, while data from other students were collected by online questionnaire, which was forwarded to the participants through the social networks. Research findings suggested that students at the University of Zagreb have moderately increased level of burnout, moderate stress intensity, and they experience stress symptoms monthly. Significant predictors of disengagement were number of failed exams, social support from teachers and colleagues, and relationship status, while the predictors of exhaustion were also number of failed exams and social support from teachers, as well as year of study, gender and social support from parents. Examination of differences between psychology students and other students showed that they differ significantly in level of burnout, stress symptoms and intensity, in a way that psychology students have lower results on these variables, but the effect size of these differences is very small. |
