Maslach Burnout Inventory is composed of emotional exhaustion subscale consisting of 9 items, depersonalization subscale consisting of 5 items and personal accomplishment subscale consisting of 8 items. The high scores on the subscales represent the burnout. In order to determine the statistical analysis methods used in analyzing the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for the analysis of compliance with the normal distribution, and Levene's test was used to determine the homogeneity condition of the data. According to the results of these tests, independent t test was used for the variables including gender, marital status, spouse's employment status and the organization the employee works for, while Kruskal Wallis test was used for the variables including task, age, educational background and professional experience. The study group was composed of 274 private hospitals staff. As a result of the study, while the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores of participants were normal, personal accomplishment scores were at the low level. Also, at least one significant difference was detected between demographic variables such as occupation, age, educational status and marital status subdimensions of the burnout. However, no significant difference was found between the variables, including gender, organization and spouse's employment status subdimensions of the burnout.
