About

In our Research the goal is to examine the level of stress and burnout among social care workers and their causes and effects after COVID-19 pandemic. We would like to examine the migration from work trend and its socio-demographic causes in the light of COVID-19 pandemic among social care workers in Hungary. We would like to analyze the extent of stress and burnout at work after COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the resulting turnover intentions in Hungary among social care workers. Our goal is to validate on hungarian population the Turnover Intention Scale (TIS-6), to measure fluctuation and migration.

Full description

A number of stress factors have been identified that affect nurses' burnout and job change, but there is little domestic research on the topic among social workers in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic.

As a result of our research, we expect that higher fear of COVID-19 is associated with lower job satisfaction, increased workplace anxiety, burnout, and increased turnover intentions.
