Abstract

Introduction. The article deals with the problem of professional burnout of teachers in connection with the effectiveness of pedagogical activity, its features, and the role of awareness in its prevention. Materials and methods. The study involved 88 teachers of various lengths of service and specialties. In addition, a group of medical workers (96 people) participated. We used the Maslach burnout test, the Lazarus and Folkman Coping Strategies Test, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Short Form Survey (SF-12), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). We applied Student’s t-test and regression analysis for processing. Results. It has been established that there is a relationship between the level of professional burnout and the effectiveness of pedagogical activity. It has been determined that pedagogical workers, in comparison with medical workers, show more signs of professional burnout, which is expressed both in specialized scales and in the level of perceived stress. Pedagogical workers with a high level of burnout rely on different strategies of coping behavior than medical workers; they have a lower level of mindfulness. Factors preventing the development of burnout in teaching staff, the problem-solving planning strategy, a high level of mindfulness, and the presence of family relationships were identified. Conclusion. The results obtained in course of the study will be used to adapt a training program to reduce professional burnout.
