The paper deals with the complexity of the burnout of employees in nursing care. The research was focused on the identification of the most common variables that lead to the burnout of health professionals, and the examination of the phenomenon of burnout in Slovenia. We used a non-experimental quantitative research method with a descriptive category of survey. As an instrument for the collection of primary data, we used two survey questionnaries: the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI). For the collection of data on psychosomatic disorders, we used the psychosomatic
disorders checklist. In addition, a structured interview was conducted with the respondents. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the burnout components are not distributed normally (emotional exhaustion: Z = 6.862, p = 0.000; depersonalisation: Z = 1.857, p = 0.002 and reduced personal fulfillment: Z = 1.030, p = 0.239), whereas the distribution of burnout does not deviate significantly from the normal (Z = 1.030, p = 0.239). The result of individual components of exhaustion was calculated as the average of responses that fall under each component, whereas the result of the full scale fatigue was calculated as the sum of all the components of exhaustion.
