avje delovno aktivne populacije | health of the working-age population 204 ue. This problem should be addressed by leadership of every healthcare institu-
tion to ensure the quality of service and preserve nurses’ mental health at the
same time.
Conclusions
Everyday professional demands can become a burden and lead to burnout.
Nursing practice is associated with many situations that might cause a trou-
bled conscience. Stress of conscience can contribute to burnout. Further re-
search in the area would help identify early symptoms of burnout. The authors
have drafted a protocol of a quantitative research study, which will be conduct-
ed among nurses working in two ICUs in the University medical centre Mar-
ibor, currently in the process of obtaining the appropriate permissions. The
study is currently in the process of obtaining all necessary permissions before
beginning actual data collection. The authors will use a Slovenian version of
the SCQ. With our findings we wish to encourage changes which might help to
reduce occupational burnout caused by a troubled conscience, and thus to im-
prove the mental health of nurses in the ICU.
