HUMAN RESOURCES SITUATION IN PSYCHIATRY

Abstract

Nowadays, in all areas of health care, there is a lack of human resources nationwide. In some areas, lack of staff or lack of staff skills, dilution of skilled workers with less skilled workers affects quality provision to a greater extent. All forms of psychiatric care require well-prepared, permanent professional teams, in which the functioning of the workers is well-defined with professional boundaries. In the course of professional pre-qualification, they work not only with the acquired medical methods, but also with the so-called non-specific factors, their own personality. Lack or 'dilution' of professional teams not only prolongs care periods, generates additional costs, but also leads to increased use of their own personality, faster burnout. In terms of the lack of human resources, there is less and less talk about professional motivation, dedication and motivation, the presence and absence of which can be felt in patient care. One of the objectives of my questionnaire survey was to map the current situation in different areas of psychiatric care, as a secondary goal to evaluate the attitudes and subjective opinions of people working in different fields in relation to care.
