Abstract		Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the burnout rate of radiographers working in oncology patient care. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional and targeted non- random sampling research was conducted from June 2018 to September 2018. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory supplemented with our own questionnaire for online data collection. In addition to demographic aspects, we collected data on job characteristics to examine the predictors of burnout. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. A two-sampled t-test, analysis of variance, the Mann- Whitney test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used at a 95% confi dence level (p=0.05). Results: We analyzed data of 72 radiographers working in oncology patient care (n=72) and 332 radiographers working in other areas of patient care (n=332). The value of emotional exhaustion (p=0.001) was signifi cantly higher in radiographers working in oncology patient care. Respondents who were single, provided monthly on-call duty and held university degrees showed signs of depersonalization (p=0.001). Having a second job, working over 40 hours per week and participating in on-call duty services had a negative eff ect on emotional exhaustion (p=0.001). The value of personal accomplishment (p=0.001) was signifi cantly better in respondents with more than one child in their household. The subjective assessesment of poor fi nancial status had a negative eff ect on all three dimensions of burnout (p=0.001). Conclusion: The mean values of emotional exhaustion in radiographers working in oncology patient care increased signifi cantly. The observed higher value of personal accomplishment demonstrates the positive feedback given by patients to radiographers.
