BURNOUTSYNDROME FROM PASTTO PR

Abstract

The burnout syndrome has represented a subject of great interest for both medicine professionals, and those in the sphere of psychology. For years, scientists have carried out researches meant to reveal the main causes and characteristics of this modern ailment, but many of the issues arisen remain unresolved. At present, work has become a segment taking up more than half a day. Most times, pressed by their superiors, people grow mentally and physically exhausted, the permanent stress giving birth to various medical conditions that are hard to combat. Unfortunately, the recommendations given by specialists are frequently ignored. Because of this, the symptoms of the burnout syndrome affect increasingly more people, regardless of the age range they belong to or their profession. Even if the human resource is finite, it should be exploited very gently. The era we live in, demands that we are productive, while health-related aspects (rest, sport and so on) are deemed less important. The numerous researches have shown that there are certain categories especially affected, as permanent pressure and long work spans are among the main causes for exhaustion. However, there are also certain professions that, despite not requiring an intense physical or mental effort, are predisposed to creating an environment favourable for exhaustion.
