title="Motives of choosing a profession and a level of nurses\’ professional burnout",
abstract=" Introduction.  Motives of human activity and endeavoring are very different. Every one of them has its results. Also, motives of choosing a nursing as a profession by young people are different. Someone who would like to work as a nurse, only to earn money for a living, would have enough very quickly. Resigning, this person would be surprised where are such mad people who want to work in such a way, come from.   Aim of the study.  The aim of a work was answering the following questions: \„what motives were reasons of choosing a job by questioned nurses?\” and \„is there a relation between motives of a job choosing and a professional burnout?\”.   Material and methods.  Working nurses from Bydgoszcz and Elbląg (361) were a part of a research. For this research, a personal questionnaire and a Maslach Burnout Inventory were used.   Results and conclusions.  Received results confirm a relation between motives of a job choosing and a professional burnout. People who have chosen \„a will of helping the others\” and \„a need of being useful\” as a motive, had a lower level of a professional burnout in global aspect and in individual aspects. People who have chosen a nursing \„because of lack of the other possibilities\” were emotionally exhausted much more. The ones who wanted to get \„a possibility of a independent activity\” got the higher results in depersonalization. The most often picked motives of a profession choosing, were \„a will of helping the others\” and \„a need of being useful\”. There is a relation between motives of a job choosing and a nurses\’ professional burnout.  Nursing Topics 2010; 18 (2): 207-211",
