Članek obravnava pojav stresa in poklicne izgorelosti pri šolskih svetovalnih delavcih to doslej pri nas še ni bilo sistematično znanstveno raziskano. Osnovni cilj raziskave, ki je potekala v letu 2011, je bil ugotoviti, kako šolski svetovalni delavci zaznavajo stres v odnosu z učenci, starši, učitelji, ravnatelji in drugimi delovnimi obveznostmi. Raziskavo smo opravili na populaciji svetovalnih delavcev v osnovnih šolah na področju severovzhodne Slovenije. Na podlagi rezultatov študije smo ugotovili, da je delo svetovalnega delavca v osnovni šoli v celoti (splošno) gledano dokaj stresno. Podrobnejša analiza rezultatov pa je pokazala razlike pri zaznavanju stresa glede na starost: mlajši svetovalni delavci zaznavajo stres bolj intenzivno kot starejši. This article deals with the occurrence of stress and occupational burnout in school counsellors, a topic for which no systematic scientific studies have been carried out so far. The main goal of the study carried out in 2011 was to determine how counsellors perceived stress in their relationship with students, parents, teachers, principals, or with regard to other work commitments. The study was conducted on a population of school counsellors in elementary schools in north-eastern Slovenia. The results of the study showed that the work of counsellors in elementary schools as a whole (in general) was quite stressful. A more detailed analysis of the results showed differences in the perception of stress with regard to age, as younger school counsellors perceived stress more intensely than older counsellors.
