Background: Caring for a family member is demanding and poses a considerable strain for the carer. Due to this long-term strain, the carer may develop burnout. Care divided between the family and a state institution seems to be ideal. Nevertheless, there are demands which pose a strain even for professional carers. Aim: The aim of the research was to ascertain the degree of burnout rate and differences between family caregivers and professional carers. Methods: A quantitative approach was taken: Burnout Measure (BM) questionnaire survey was conducted. The sample consisted of 50 family caregivers (42 women, 8 men) with average care length 5 years and 57 professional carers – workers from healthcare and social services (55 women, 2 men) from a care home Pohoda, OlomoucChválkovice and a care home for disabled people Nové Zámky with average work experience 12 years. Results: A higher burnout rate was found among family caregivers compared to professional carers (p < 0.001). Burnout was confirmed in 25 family caregivers and 2 professional carers. An increased risk for developing burnout was found in 13 family caregivers and 8 professional carers. Conclusion: Caring for a family member presents an excessive strain for the family caregiver and respite care or community services should be introduced to prevent developing burnout.
