Abstrakt/ Abstract: 

Súhrn/ Background: Burnout has consistently been identified as an issue in health professionals, with paramedics in particular frequently noted to have high burnout rates.
Ciele/ Objectives: The current study aimed to describe the prevalence of total work burnout in paramedics and of three subcategories: persona1, workrelated and patient-related burnout.
Materiál a metodika/ Material and methods: This cross-sectional online survey presented the Copenhagen Burnout lnventory (CBI) to a national convenience sample (n=393) over a 5-week period from October-November 2021.
Výsledky/ Results: The primary outcome was prevalence of total burnout (%). Secondary outcomes were prevalence of subgroups of burnout and predictive factors. More than half (56.15%) of respondents were determined to have total burnout at the time of completing the survey; 46.4% had patientrelated burnout; 62.3% had work-related burnout; and 71.9% had personal-related burnout. Females, city work location, and having worked for 15-19 years as a paramedic were all predictive of total burnout.
Záver/ Conclusion: The study showed high prevalence of total burnout among this sample of paramedics.
