    ABSTRACT Objective: Burnout is often seen in the service sector and in areas with stressful human interactions. In hospitals patient services employees are also one of the groups at risk of experiencing burnout syndrome due to the intense involvement of close personal relations. This study aimed to determine burnout levels of patient services employees in private hospitals. Method: The sample of this study included patient services employees from seven private hospitals located in Istanbul, Turkey.

On the other hand, there was not a significant relationship between burnout levels and marital status, number of children or tenure in patient service personnel. Moreover, it was found that the burnout level of patient services employees is low. Specifically, the score of the depersonalization aspect of burnout was found to be minimal. Conclusion: It was concluded that burnout is an important issue that needs to be prevented and overcome with patient service employees.
