Level Of Emotional Burnout Research Articles

Professional satisfaction of practitioners in psychiatry departments

The study was conducted to determine the indicators of job satisfaction of doctors working in psychiatry departments, to analyse the professional satisfaction of Polish, European and world psychiatrists and to identify ways to improve it. The study identified factors that influence the professional satisfaction of psychiatrists, compared it among psychiatrists in Poland, Europe, and the world, and developed a number of methods to improve this indicator. The results of the study showed that the level of professional satisfaction of psychiatric doctors is influenced by the following factors: salary level, working conditions, team relations, resource support of the work process, stress level, level of emotional burnout, sense of recognition and importance of their own work, work-life balance, and the degree of stigmatization of mental disorders in society. In terms of the number of practising psychiatrists in the country, the availability of psychiatric services and the level of the average annual salary of psychiatrists in Poland, Europe, and the world, the highest rates of professional satisfaction are recorded in the Scandinavian countries and Austria. Poland and Eastern European countries have lower scores, but the gradual increase in funding for psychiatry in Poland is leading to a positive upward trend. Ways in which this increase can be achieved include: increasing the staff of psychiatric units and optimizing administrative work to reduce workload, using cooperation and mentoring programmes to achieve a comfortable team environment, encouraging specialists to participate in training and mentoring programmes to enhance their professional development.

Features of emotional burnout of social workers

This article reveals the relevance of the study of the problem of prevention and correction of emotional burnout of social workers in the context of the professional characteristics of their activities. The concepts of emotional burnout syndrome are also disclosed, three main models of «mental (emotional) burnout» and corresponding methods of its assessment are described. At the same time, the indicators characteristic of the development of the analyzed burnout syndrome in the analyzed category of employees were revealed. It is noted that overcoming it is associated not only with the emotional well-being of employees, but also with the success of their professional work in general, which is important given the high social responsibility and importance of this activity. To confirm the theoretical provisions on the prevention and correction of emotional burnout, an experiment was conducted in which 45 social workers of the Leninsky district Medical Center aged 35–65, serving 856 clients per year, took part. V. V. Boyko’s method of diagnosing the level of emotional burnout was chosen as a diagnostic technique, in which the presence of severity in workers of three phases was assessed: tension, resistance and exhaustion. To reduce emotional burnout, a program based on the recommendations of V. I. Dolgova, G. Y. Goleva.

Coping behaviour and defense mechanisms of nursing staff depending on the level of severity of emotional burnout

Introduction. Health care professionals’ (HCP) occupational activity is associated with a highly intense psycho-emotional load. The purpose of the study is to identify the basic strategies of stress-overcoming behaviour in the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural spheres and the characteristics of defense mechanisms among nursing staff. Materials and methods. An online study of coping strategies and defense mechanisms (DM) was carried out using E. Heim’s questionnaire, and method “Life Style Index”. The respondents were divided into two subgroups depending on the severity of emotional burnout (EB). Research results are displayed as median, upper and lower quartiles, and extensive indicators. The comparison of indicators was carried out using the χ2 criterion, the relationship between characteristics was assessed using correlation analysis, and the structure of the DM was studied using the factor analysis. Results. Non-constructive and relatively adaptive copings predominate in the structure of cognitive strategies among HCP with an average and high level of EB. Adaptive copings predominate among emotional strategies in HCP with an average level of EB, and non-adaptive and relatively adaptive in HCP with a high EB level. Non-constructive copings were in the majority among HCP with a high level of EB. The dominant MD among HCP with an average level of EB are “denial”, “repression”, “reaction formation”, and “regression”, “intellectualization”, “reaction formation” in HCP with a high EB level. The distribution of the largest weight loads in the MD complex is not identical; the common feature is the presence of “regression”, “compensation” in the first factor, “repression”, “response formation” in the second, and “denial” in the third. Limitations. The study is one-stage, performed with the participation of one occupational group. Conclusion. Non-adaptive, relatively adaptive cognitive and behavioural coping strategies predominate in the structure of coping behaviour among HCP with different levels of EB. The combination of MD in HCP with different EB levels is a key subsystem of interrelated functioning protective mechanisms that ensure the preservation of mental homeostasis and the integrity of the individual.

Investigation of burnout and quality of work life of cardiac surgery nurses: A cross-sectional study.

The care processes of cardiac surgery patients are difficult, complex and stressful. Nurses, who have an important role in the care of these patients, may experience burnout or poor quality of work life may be affected because of difficult care processes, and professional difficulties. This study analysed burnout and quality of work life in cardiac surgery nurses. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 68 nurses in the clinic and intensive care unit of a university hospital's cardiovascular surgery department. Clinical nurses care for inpatients in this department, while intensive care nurses care for patients in the intensive care unit. The 'Sociodemographic and Descriptive Characteristics of Nurses Form', 'Maslach Burnout Inventory' and 'Nursing Work Quality of Life Scale' were used to collect the data. The mean score of emotional exhaustion sub-dimension of Maslach Burnout Inventory was 15.25 ± 5.08 (min: 7, max: 27), the mean score of the personal accomplishment sub-dimension was 17.48 ± 4.90 (min: 8, max: 27), and the mean score of depersonalization sub-dimension was 5.60 ± 2.70 (min: 0, max: 13). The mean scores of the emotional exhaustion sub-dimension (t: -2.380, p: .020, risk ratio [RR]: 1.67, confidence interval [CI]: [14.21, 18.82]) and the personal accomplishment sub-dimension (t: -2.604, p: .011, RR: 1.00, CI: [16.08, 19.92]) were higher in intensive care nurses. The mean total score of the nursing quality of work life scale was 107.20 ± 14.60 (min: 72, max: 149). A negative statistically significant relationship was found between the mean scores of emotional exhaustion (r: -0.243, p: .045) and depersonalization sub-dimension (r: -0.325, p: .007) of the Maslach Burnout Scale and the mean total score of the nursing quality of work life scale. In this study, it can be said that cardiac surgery nurses had moderate levels of emotional burnout, personal accomplishment and quality of work life, and low levels of depersonalization. At the same time, it can be seen that intensive care nurses have higher levels of emotional burnout. The increased emotional burnout and depersonalization in nurses decreased the quality of work life. This study provided an understanding of burnout and quality of work life of cardiac surgery nurses. Strategies can be developed to reduce burnout and improve the quality of the work life of cardiac surgery nurses. Particular attention should be paid to intensive care nurses who experience more burnout on several sub-dimensions. This may be a good approach to improving the quality of patient care.

Algorithm of complex therapy and prevention of emotional burnout in doctors-psychiatrists during the war and its effectiveness

Abstract. The purpose - to develop and determine the effectiveness of the algorithm of complex therapy and prevention of emotional burnout (EB) among psychiatrists during the war, to resolve the issue of its recommendation for wide implementation in the system of mental health care institutions. The research sample, which was formed in compliance with the principles of biomedical ethics and based on informed consent, included 120 psychiatrists who worked in the city of Kyiv in the period from February 24, 2022. During 2022, the persons under examination were divided into three groups: the first group included 37 persons (30.8%) – doctors with no signs of professional maladjustment (PMA), and a low level of EB; the second group consisted of 57 persons (47.5% ) with signs of professional PMA, and a moderate level of EB; the third group consisted of 26 persons ( 21.7%) and they were respondents with clinically established and pronounced PMA, and a high level of EB. As a result of the study, the personal, psychopathological, psychosocial, professional and emotional-interpersonal factors of the formation and progression of EB among psychiatrists during the war were established, and their interrelationships in its genesis, on the basis of which the basic principles of a comprehensive approach to the therapy and prevention of EB were formulated for psychiatrists (complexity, personalization, phasing and availability), the main goals of treatment and prevention measures are defined and 4 therapeutic strategies of diagnosis, therapy and prevention are proposed within the framework of providing specialized medical care to psychiatrists during the war. These are recommended to be implemented taking into account the degree PMA as a key descriptor of EB, and in accordance with the key vectors of pathological changes in the respondents. The implementation and further evaluation of the effectiveness of the mentioned measures proved their effectiveness in eliminating manifestations of EB and PMA, normalization of mental state with levelling of psychopathological symptoms, improvement of social and psychological adaptation and quality of life of psychiatrists. The results obtained make it possible to recommend this algorithm for wide implementation in the practice of mental health care institutions.

The relationship between self-efficacy and emotional burnout levels of seafarers: the role of individual alienation – the case of Turkey

PurposeThe study aims to examine the factors that may affect the burnout levels of ship workers.Design/methodology/approachThe scope of the research consists of seafarers on ships docking at the ports of Zonguldak, Karadeniz Eregli, Eren and Filyos in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. The sample consists of officers, engineers, dynamic position operators, electricians, boatswains, able seamans, pumpmans and stewards working on ships. In this respect, a random questionnaire was used in the research method and a questionnaire was sent to 400 of these employees, representing the main sample, and 263 of them fully answered the online questionnaire.FindingsAs a result of the research, first of all, it is seen that the increase in the self-efficacy of the seafarers decreases their emotional burnout levels. In the second step, the strong self-efficacy of the seafarers reduced the level of individual alienation. In the third step, the increase in the individual alienation of the ship workers also caused an increase in the levels of emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueAs a result, it has been seen that there is a partial mediating role of individual alienation in the relationship between the self-efficacy of the seafarers and their emotional exhaustion. In other words, high self-efficacy is not the only reason for the decrease in emotional burnout levels among seafarers. At the same time, self-efficacy has an effect on the individual alienation levels of seafarers.

Investigation of Burnout Levels of Teachers Working in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners

The burnout levels of teachers who play an important role in education have an important value in conducting the education process well. Conducting the process of teaching Turkish to foreigners on a qualified basis is directly related to the burnout level of teachers. For this reason, the aim of this research is to determine the burnout levels of teachers working in teaching Turkish to foreigners within the scope of the Project on Supporting the Integration of Syrian Children into the Turkish Education System (PIKTES), in line with the departments they graduated, their terms of office, their genders, the periodicals they follow for teaching Turkish to foreigners, and the education they received outside of in-service training is to determine. The sample of the research consists of 218 teachers working in PIKTES (MEB, 2018). The Maslach Burnout Scale, which was adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992), and personal information form was used. According to the results of the research conducted with the relational scanning model, the burnout levels of female teachers are higher. Emotional burnout levels of participants who do not receive additional education services are higher. The burnout levels of teachers who graduated from Classroom Teaching and Turkish Language and Literature department/teaching are higher than Turkish teachers. The burnout levels of teachers with 1-2 years of experience are higher than those of teachers with 3-4 and 5-6 years of experience. Based on these results, various suggestions were made to provide a more qualified education-teaching environment.

PREVENTION OF PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT OF TEACHERS IN CONDITIONS OF MIXED LEARNING

PREVENTION OF PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT OF TEACHERS IN CONDITIONS OF MIXED LEARNING

Short-term memory depends on the level of emotional burnout

IntroductionEmotional burnout refers to a syndrome caused by chronic stress. The formation of emotional burnout may lead to persistent changes in cognitive activity and particularly in memory and attention.ObjectivesAs the power of human EEG-spectrum components varies significantly under cognitive testing, the aim of our study was to investigate the dynamics of changes of EEG parameters under a memory task depending on the severity of burnout.Methods42 healthy volunteers (students aged 18 to 24 years) participated in this study. EEG was registered over a period of 3 minutes during the rest state and 10 minutes during a verbal memory task. The spectral power density (SPD) of all frequencies from 0.2 to 35 Hz was estimated. The Mann-Witney criterion was carried out for the comparison of the independent data samples. The correlations were estimated using the Spearmen’s coefficient correlation. In order to determine the stages of burnout we used the test “Syndrome of emotional burnout” (by Boyko), adapted for students.ResultsWe observed variations in parameters of EEG during memorizing and retention phases depending on the intensity of the burnout. The intensity of the Exhaustion stage varied inversely with SPD in alpha3 (parietal and temporal regions), beta1 (parietal regions) and beta2 (parietal, right occipital and temporal regions) during the memorizing phase. The formation of the Exhaustion stage of burnout was accompanied by a decrease in alpha3 (parietal, left occipital and right temporal regions), beta1 (parietal, occipital and left temporal regions) and beta2 (parietal regions) during the retention phase.ConclusionsOur data indicate that short-term memory depends on the emotional state of subjects.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

The manifestation of professional burnout among university teachers under pandemic conditions

Relevance. The relevance of this study focuses on the ways to work effectively under stressful situations. After all, the COVID-19 pandemic is a stressor, and burnout syndrome is directly linked to the stress caused by the pandemic. Education is particularly specific, since within the "human-human" professions, an important aspect is the social connection between those involved and the support inherent in the educational process. As education has been completely reorganised into distance education, an important part like belonging to society is neglected. This has a negative impact on both the emotional and mental component of the personality. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate burnout syndrome amidst the pandemic. The object is professional burnout as a key mechanism of productivity and efficiency. The subject is a manifestation of professional burnout among university teachers under the conditions of COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology. The study involved the following research methods: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation, argumentation) and practical (mathematical statistics, methodology: Diagnostics of professional burnout by K. Maslachand and S. Jackson (adapted by N. Vodopyanova); Diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout by V. Boyko; Definition of mental burnout by A. Rukavishnikov). Results. In the course of disclosing the subject, the immediate advantages and significant disadvantages of distance education were identified. The causes of burnout, the stages of its development and a number of techniques to minimise the manifestations of professional burnout were also highlighted. Conclusions. According to the study, teachers today need to work on decreasing their levels of emotional exhaustion and detachment, and on increasing their "reduction in personal achievement". Substantial work should be done to reduce employees' stress levels and train them in self-regulation skills to manage their emotions effectively. The findings will be of use to all those involved in education, namely teachers, psychologists, administrators of educational institutions and ministers. Keywords: students; personality; professional burnout; teachers; educational sphere; COVID-19 pandemic

Research of the emotional state of young tutors working with children with autism spectrum disorders

Introduction. The work of specialists involved in psychological, medical and pedagogical support of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has an impact on the emotional state of educators, often causing professional burnout. It is widely discussed in the literature among educators with a long work experience. The authors consider it relevant to isolate and investigate the initial symptoms of burnout. Materials and methods. The study involved 14 tutors, women aged 24 to 30 years, working in resource classes for children with ASD and 14 teachers of inclusive classes. Research methods: questionnaire survey, psychological testing. The authors used the “Methodology for diagnosing the level of emotional burnout” (Boyko, 1998), “Scale of psychological well-being” by K. Riffe in adaptation of T.D. Shevelenkova, T.P. Fesenko (2005), Clinical questionnaire for identifying neurotic states by K.K. Yakhin, D.M. Mendelevich (1998). Statistical processing was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 program. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney criterion (p≤0,05) was used to compare indicators. Results. All tutors noted significant fatigue after the working day, half of them also experienced psychological discomfort, difficulties in communication, less optimistic assessment of their abilities. According to V.V. Boyko’s test, the phase of tension is formed in three tutors, it is in the stage of formation in eleven; the phase of resistance – in three, and it is in the stage of formation in nine; the phase of exhaustion – in one tutor, it is in the stage of formation in four. The most pronounced symptoms are “Dissatisfaction” and “Emotional disorientation” – in 71.4%. Eight teachers (57.1%) felt the presence of problems hindering their psychological well-being and emotional comfort. Eight out of fourteen revealed painful symptoms on the scales of vegetative disorders, neurotic depression, and anxiety. Comparison of indicators in the groups of tutors and teachers of inclusive classes showed reliable differences in many parameters (p≤0.05), but the tutors of inclusive classes also showed forming symptoms of tension and vegetative disorders. Conclusion. The results obtained in the study of tutors with less than three years experience of work with children with ASD indicated the presence or formation of their suboptimal functional state of the body, which requires timely detection and correction with the participation of psychological and medical specialists.

Суб’єктивна оцінка стану здоров’я педагогічними працівників з різними рівнями професійного вигорання в умовах соціальної ізоляції та воєнного стану

The aim of the study is to analyze data on the state of health of teachers with different levels of occupational burnout who were in different social conditions of life (social isolation and martial law). Materials and methods. To achieve the goal, the method of V. V. Boiko «Diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout» (1998) and a specially developed questionnaire «Subjective assessment of the state of health, life activities and working conditions of teachers» were used, with the help of which an anonymous survey was conducted general secondary education institutions in the city of Sumy during the period of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in 2021 (85 people) and during martial law in April 2023 (106 people). Results. The proportion of the group of teachers with a low level of occupational burnout increased and was 2.22 times higher than the similar group of teachers during the period of social isolation (30.97±3.35)%, t=8.04, p≤0.001), which may indicate a possible decrease in the influence of professional stressors and an actualization of the feeling of uncertainty, constant anxiety, fear for one’s own life and the lives of loved ones, which is due to the military situation in the country. In conditions of social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, average (48.24±3.36)% t=9.54, p≤0.001) and low (41.18±3.31)% t=7.83, p≤0.001) levels of occupational burnout prevailed. Under the conditions of martial law, the manifestations of occupational burnout changed: the proportion of the group of teachers with a low level of occupational burnout increased and was 2.22 times higher than the similar group of teachers during the period of social isolation (30.97±3.35)%, t=8.04, p≤0.001), which may indicate a possible decrease in the influence of professional stressors and an actualization of the feeling of uncertainty, constant anxiety, fear for one’s own life and the lives of loved ones, which is due to the military situation in the country. If during the period of isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a high level of occupational burnout significantly prevailed among teachers under the age of 40 (55.56±5.38)%), then during the period of martial law, a high level of occupational burnout was mainly registered among teachers of the older age group (up to 50 – (42.86±4.81)%). In general, (76.02±3.09)% of the surveyed teachers defined their health status as satisfactory, (16.29±2.67)% as unsatisfactory, and only (7.69±1.93)% of respondents as excellent. Among the interviewees in the group with unsatisfactory self-assessment of health, teachers of the age groups «under 50» and «over 50» predominated (36.11±3.47)% and (30.56±3.33)%, respectively) compared to the groups «up to 30» – (8.33±1.99)% and «up to 40» – (25.00±3.13)%, which can be explained by the natural accumulation over the years of functional abnormalities and chronic pathology. The leading complaints, regardless of social conditions and levels of occupational burnout, were complaints of headaches, palpitations, sleep disturbances, and increased blood pressure. Conclusions. The established results of the study require further improvement of the assessment of the components of mental health among teaching staff in conditions of martial law and the development of hygienic recommendations for the prevention of occupational burnout in various social conditions of the labor process.

The Problem of Professional Burnout among Workers of Social and Pedagogical Sphere in the Conditions of Implementation of Information and Communication Strategy of Education

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the problem of professional burnout among social workers in the postmodern society. The concept of the “emotional burnout” and the “professional burnout” is generalized as a common state of exhaustion in the physical and mental sense, which is caused by intense and steady stress. It is noted that burnout syndrome manifests itself in a depressed state, accompanied by feelings of fatigue and devastation, feeling of futility of his professional activity, rejection of activity both professional and domestic. To achieve the goal, a general scientific method of theoretical analysis of philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical scientific literature was used in the study. To achieve the goal, the study used the general scientific method of theoretical analysis of philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical scientific literature. The realities and prospects of implementation of strategic objectives of the Communication Strategy of the Ministry of Education and Science for 2023-2030 (On approval of the Communication Strategy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for 2023-2030, 2022) were substantiated, which should undoubtedly correlate with the effectiveness of the work of a socio-pedagogical worker, to prevent the strengthening of the trend of professional burnout, in particular: the formation and implementation of public policy to ensure decent working conditions of the specialist of socio-pedagogical sphere to ensure the sustainable functioning of the areas of education and social work during wartime; implementation of updated digital educational environment; development of digital competencies to ensure stable communication in the context of socio-pedagogical interaction. In the context of the theoretical study of professional burnout among social workers, causing a syndrome of professional burnout. It is expressed in a reduction to a minimum of self-control, rejection of oneself as a professional, dysfunctional dynamics of the workplace, extreme activity, degradation in social and personal communication, feeling of loneliness both at work and outside of it. The analysis of methods of professional burnout is presented and the diagnosis of professional burnout among social workers is considered: the methodology of Agapova (2004) (based on the diagnosis of emotional burnout level according to Boyko) (enables systemic and detail analysis of the degree of severity of twelve symptoms of burnout syndrome, taking into account the components that they relate to); the methodology “Psychological burnout” in the work of the system “human – human” (developed by Vodopyanova, Starchenkova, 2008). Guided by the development of K. Maslach and S. Jackson, it allows to investigate the main components of a psychological burnout syndrome, such as: exhaustion emotionally, loss of personality, leveling of professional abilities.

The relationship of clinical and psychological characteristics with the syndrome of emotional burnout and neuropsychic maladjustment of summer camp counselors

Emotional burnout and professional maladaptation are quite common problems for many professionals who work with people, especially teachers. It is known that the phenomena under consideration can not only be related to each other, but also lead to serious problems with somatic and mental health, and can also provoke poor-quality, negligent performance of their duties, which, in turn, can lead to even greater negative consequences. To date, in the scientific literature there is practically no analysis of the connection between emotional burnout and neuropsychic maladjustment with other clinical and psychological characteristics of summer camp counselors. At the same time, the initial results of research into the level of burnout and work maladjustment indicate a fairly wide distribution of these phenomena. The purpose of our research was to study the relationship between the clinical and psychological characteristics of children's camp counselors and the level of their emotional burnout and neuropsychic maladjustment. The study involved 81 counselors from different children's camps with 24-hour stay. All employees completed a package of methods aimed at studying emotional burnout, neuropsychic maladaptation, motivation, personality structure, reflexivity, anxiety, communication skills, and emotional intelligence. The article presents the results of a study of correlations between indicators of emotional burnout, the level of neuropsychic maladaptation with other clinical and psychological characteristics of children's camp teachers. These phenomena are associated with a number of personal characteristics: anxiety, emotional intelligence, communicative competence, personality structure. In particular, counselors with a low level of burnout and a low level of maladjustment were characterized by sociability, trustfulness, emotional stability, an adequate reaction to conflict situations and a low level of anxiety. The results obtained are partially confirmed by our previous research and make a new contribution to the understanding of those factors that influence the state of counselors in terms of human capital. However, we also identified some contradictions in the data, such as the lack of a statistically significant connection between emotional burnout and the level of motivation. This indicates that motivation may play a less significant role in the formation of burnout among summer camp counselors compared to other professional groups, such as teachers. Of particular interest is the conclusion about the connection between the level of emotional burnout and neuropsychic maladjustment. There is a high level of maladaptation among counselors with a high level of burnout, which indicates a connection between these phenomena.

Особенности формирования синдрома эмоционального выгорания у медицинских работников в период пандемии коронавируса

Aim. Identification of the features of the psycho-emotional state of nurses of a multidisciplinary clinic, COVID hospital and outpatient clinic during an unfavorable epidemiological situation of coronavirus infection. Design. A prospective cohort study in parallel groups. Materials and methods. In 2020–2021, a study was conducted on the psychoemotional state of nursing staff working in medical institutions in Samara. All the subjects were divided into groups according to their place of work: the 1st group included nurses working in COVID hospitals (n = 39), the 2nd group represented nurses who worked in a multidisciplinary clinic (n = 41), the 3rd group consisted of nurses performing their professional duties in an outpatient clinic (n = 39), the 4th group (control) included people not related to medicine, mainly economic and technical specialties (n = 160). The analysis of the psycho-emotional state was carried out on the basis of the results of the Maslach Burnout questionnaire, designed to assess and identify the state and degree of formation of phases of emotional burnout. Results. The indicators of emotional burnout in nurses working in the COVID hospital and in the polyclinic were significantly higher than in the control group, as well as in the nurses group of the multidisciplinary clinic. An extremely high level of emotional burnout was observed only in nurses working in the “red zone”, and they also more often had a high level of emotional burnout than in other groups. In the conditions of a polyclinic, the degree of emotional burnout in nurses was also significantly higher than in a multidisciplinary hospital. Conclusion. Increased stress and the presence of signs of professional burnout are primarily noted when nursing staff work in a COVID hospital, to a somewhat lesser extent — in those working in an outpatient clinic, and nurses of a multidisciplinary clinic are even less susceptible to them. The data obtained confirm the expediency of continuing scientific research on the psychoemotional state of nursing staff during periods of unfavorable epidemiological conditions for timely preventive measures aimed at preserving the health of this category of medical workers. Keywords: stress, emotional burnout, medical staff, nurse, COVID-19.

The article deals with the emotional burnout and identification of early signs of maladaptation in medical university students. The causes of emotional burnout among students of secondary vocational medical education can be various, including overload with academic assignments and exams, lack of social support, problems with personal life, financial difficulties and constraints in interaction with other students and teachers.The authors conduct a comparative study of the student groups of 1st (50 people) and 2nd (26 people) year of secondary vocational education and applicants in 2022 (370 people) and 2023 (321 people) admission to a medical university. To describe the main psychological characteristics of persons belonging to those groups, as well as to identify the relationship between the level of empathic abilities and the severity of character accentuations with the likelihood to occur for symptoms of emotional burnout in the learning process, on the basis of the Russian University of Medicine, applicants were surveyed and students were tested within the framework of secondary professional medical education using the following psychodiagnostic methods. The severity of the symptoms of emotional burnout was assessed using the method “Diagnosis of the level of emotional burnout” by V. Boyko; the features of the processes of empathy were studied by the method of V. Boyko “Diagnosis of the level of empathic abilities”. The features of the personal sphere, professional prospects and values are also studied using the methods of Shmishek-Leonhard, FPP and DDO by E.A. Klimov

Professional sustainability of volunteers in context ecological approach under the conditions of war

The article reveals the peculiarities of volunteering, which contributes to the development of the employee's professionalism, and also contributes to the development of such values as tolerance, tolerance, an active life position, and responsibility. The purpose of the article is to characterize the volunteering of employees in the context of professional growth. Involvement of volunteers in various activities and programs changes their value priorities, in both directions, from the values of personal life (love, happy family life, productive life) to the value of self-realization and moral responsibility (interesting work, material status, honesty, tolerance, etc.). Among the empirical methods of research, the following were used: V. Boyk's "Diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout", M. Rokych's "Value orientations" method and O. Kokun's "Professional sustainability" method. According to the above-mentioned methods, the following components of the professional sustainability of volunteers are highlighted: emotional, motivational, social and professional components. Emotional exhaustion of volunteers is caused by psychosomatic and psychovegetative disorders, which is characterized by psychophysical fatigue of a person, desolation, leveling of one's own professional achievements, communication breakdown, development of cynical attitude towards the victims and development of psychosomatic disorders. In the majority of all subjects, personal detachment (depersonalization) is observed when performing professional duties and activities in general. Conclusions. Personal qualities that need to be developed and improved play an important role in this process. One of the important factors is the formation and development of civic competence of volunteers. thus, participation in volunteer activities allows for the development of a valuable component of civic competence, which is realized through the manifestation of the civic values of an individual.

Преимущества и риски перфекционизма курсантов образовательных организаций высшего образования МВД России

Introduction. The article deals with the nature of perfectionism, the content of which reflects both its positive and negative consequences. The advantages of perfectionism involve the students' efforts to perfection, self-organisation, and adaptive behaviour. The risks of perfectionism include deep-seated feelings of a person oriented to social approval, conformity to exaggerated standards, avoidance of failures, and overrated level of demands to oneself. This determines negative emotional feelings, anxiety, and stressful states. The aim of the research is to determine the features of perfectionism of cadets with high and low levels of perfectionism and to analyse the risks of its high indicators.
 The research is based on a sample of 73 people. They were divided into two groups according to the values of perfectionism: with high (n=34) and low (n=39) level.
 Research methods. The research involved general scientific research methods aimed at data collection, analysis, systematisation and generalisation, as well as empirical methods (testing, interviews). The research was carried out with the help of psychodiagnostic methods: perfectionism questionnaire (N. G. Garanyan, A. B. Kholmogorova), method of diagnosing the level of emotional burnout (V. V. Boyko).
 Results. The results of the empirical study on the methods used are described and analysed. The results of the study showed reliable differences between the groups with high and low levels of perfectionism, reflecting the presence of significant emotional problems.
