Вплив емоційного вигорання на поведінку персоналу

The article is devoted to «emotional burnout syndrome» and «professional burnout syndrome». The similarities and differences between these concepts are considered. The author presents models of professional burnout caused by stress and overwork, emotional burnout caused by stress and overwork, and imbalance in the employee’s personal life. Two groups of emotional and professional burnout symptoms are described – physical and behavioral. Attention is paid to the characterization of behavioral manifestations in the presence of two syndromes, under the influence of the depressive triad (low mood, inhibited intellectual activity, motor inhibition). In particular, the manifestations of incorrect, erroneous thinking in personnel (maximalism, overgeneralization, unfounded conclusions, selective perception, conclusions based on emotions, exaggerated sense of responsibility, personalization) are characterized. The author identifies and describes the dynamics of burnout, which includes six stages, according to G. Freudenberger’s research, whose views are shared by modern researchers on this problem. The desire to be liked and to join the team forces the employee to push himself in order to increase personal effectiveness; then he begins to feel external pressure on himself; then the employee begins to ignore his own needs and loses touch with himself; the employee worries fails and forces himself to work even harder and more, but physically and psychologically is no longer capable of practical work, so he begins to blame himself. Accordingly, the types of employees who have experienced professional burnout are characterized: «The Overachiever,» «The Taskmaster,» «The Perfectionist,» «The Micromanager,» «The Competitor,» «The People Pleaser,» «The Ruminator.» An attempt has been made to outline measures to prevent professional burnout by the company’s management and employees. Among the means of preventing and combating professional burnout on the part of the employer are moderate deadlines and indicators of planned productivity; resource support for the implementation of tasks; formation and maintenance of a favorable moral and psychological microclimate in the team; material and moral incentives, according to individual results, etc. The means of preventing and counteracting professional burnout at the employee level include self-knowledge and self-determination, horizontal career, etc. Keywords: emotional burnout, professional burnout, behavior, stress, staff, depressive triad, employee type.

A significant part of the students indicate that the leading motivational factor influencing the implementation of health preservation is a regular and systematic study of the theoretical foundations of a healthy lifestyle.

Models for Organising the Education of Ukrainian Children Who Have Fled the War in Lithuanian Municipalities: Psychological, Material, and Linguistic Support

This article presents the situation of the education of Ukrainian refugee children in Lithuania. It analyses the political and practical actions taken by the Lithuanian state when, after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, schools unexpectedly received a large number of children from Ukraine who had not come of their own free will, having fled the war. This article presents how Lithuanian municipalities have acted and the decisions taken to strengthen the psychological microclimate and devise a suitable model of language education. The aim of this study was to describe the experience of different regions of Lithuania in integrating Ukrainian war refugee children into educational institutions in terms of psychological, material, and linguistic support. Semi-structured group interviews (n = 12) were carried out with municipal education department staff, the staff of pedagogical qualification centres, and school managers (n = 206) who have worked on the integration of war refugee children in their municipality. The interviews were analysed using thematic content analysis. The results were divided into the following groups: (1) psychological needs of the children, (2) physical needs of the children, (3) the chosen model of Lithuanian language education, and (4) support measures for the integration of the children. The study shows that the quick but timely decisions taken in Lithuania to recruit teachers from Ukraine have helped to resolve the traumatic situations regarding the integration of children.

The linguistic and communicative aspect of the professional communication of doctors

Implementation of the process of speaking is impossible without communication, that is, the sequence of transmission and reception of information. Approximately half of the doctor's working time is spent on meetings, telephone conversations, communication with patients and colleagues. The ability to speak is his professional duty. A doctor, who knows how to speak creates the impression of an expert in his field, inspires trust in patients, which is a guarantee of successful treatment results.
 A high level of development of professional communication skills will largely determine the effectiveness of a doctor's work, his ability to logically and reasonably express his opinions, establish relationships with colleagues, and create a positive social and psychological microclimate in the team. At the same time, mistakes made in professional communication can hinder the effective performance of a doctor's duties and negatively affect his career. The basis of conflicts that reduce the creative potential of medical personnel is a low level of communicative competence caused by the lack of knowledge about communication and the corresponding communicative skills.
 The main goal of this work is a comprehensive consideration of the linguistic and communicative aspect of the professional communication of doctors. The methods of work involve the study of the mentioned phenomenon of linguistic and communicative skills of doctors, systematization, and correction of the acquired knowledge.

Conflictological competence: Attitude component

It is substantiated the understanding of the conflict as a necessity of development, built into the educational process. It is proposed to interpret the conflict as an actualized collision of contradictions, in which the parties with different values, guidelines, motives cannot stay unchanged, and pose a threat and mutually determine, interact with each other. The «attitude» model of conflict competence of the teacher is presented as a tool for minimizing the destructive influence, with the possibility of constructive use of conflicts. There are presented the components of the «attitude» model of conflictological competence, which determine the readiness and ability of the teacher to implement knowledge and skills in conflictology (interact in a situation of threat to resolve contradictions, instead of avoiding, redirecting energy to less threatening objects): reflexivity, ability to establish interaction, time orientation, independence of values and behavior of the subject, adaptation, dominance, escapism, values of self-improvement and flexibility of behavior, selfsensitivity and spontaneity, self-esteem, self-acceptance (attitude towards yourself), attitude to other people, and interpersonal sensitivity. The term «subjective attitude» in the structure of teacher’s conflict competence is proposed to be understood as the latent mental potential of reactions, experiences, and human actions, which is actualized in the construction of the current communicative situation, in connection with the individual's evaluative perceptions of the environment and ownself. The development of conflictological competence of the working teacher is proposed to be studied in the context of socio-psychological conditions (processes) occurring among the teaching staff (small group): individual perception of the group, psychological microclimate, cohesion, and attitude to their role in a small group (teaching staff), subjective perception of management style, personality type of the head of an institution, the importance of work in the educational institution as the only source of satisfaction of material needs. There are given the results of empirical research of psychological processes in small groups and the attitude component of the conflict competence of the teacher, and there are established the connections of teachers’ attitudes with their subjective perception of the pedagogical staff. It is found that teachers mainly assess the socio-psychological climate as favorable, characterize the predominance of a high level of group cohesion in teams with a tendency to collectivist type of group perception and democratic management style. Respondents are characterized by an average level of reflexivity, increased selfperception (self-esteem and self-perception block), the desire for dominance with a slight decrease in adaptability, and lack of trust in the world around and other people. It is found a tendency in respondents to separate from the social environment, the expression of individualism as a factor of success in professional activities, which can contribute to the multiplication of contradictions, but blocking the willingness to recognize them. That is, the favorable socio-psychological working conditions for teachers and their orientation to collectivism set the framework of humanistic perception of a person as the basis of the subject and object in professional pedagogical activity. But teachers themselves show opposite tendencies: on the one hand, they give importance to collectivism, and find themselves as a part of the educational environment as such; on the other hand, their self-realization in professional activity is achieved under the condition of domination, individualism, and separation from the group, which testifies to the importance of self-authenticity for the teacher. There are identified approaches to the development of working teachers’ conflictological competence, taking into account the peculiarities of the small group processes

Psychological Microclimate of Student Groups, Studying in Different Instructional Formats

The article discusses psychological microclimate of a student group under different instructional formats (teaching and learning face-to-face, online, or blended). The main objective of the study was to explore factors that contribute the microclimate formation in connection with the changes that the formal postsecondary education undergoes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred and sixty-six students of several higher education institutions in Rostov-on-Don, Russia took part in the study. To fulfill the study objective, data about various individual characteristics of participating students and their subjective rating of the psychological microclimate in the respective student groups were collected by means of psychological testing and subjected first to the ANOVA and then to the multiple regression analyses. ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences across instructional formats either in the microclimate scores or in the respondents’ psychological characteristics. The follow-up multiple regression analysis explored models of joint contribution of the predictor variables to the formation of the microclimate in student groups. Specifically, it found that the relationship between the microclimate and emotional tone is negative, whereas generosity and leadership inclinations are positive predictors of the psychological microclimate in student groups. Better understanding what factors determine dynamic interactions among students in various instructional formats could be instrumental in optimizing microclimate in students group, undoubtedly affected by rather dramatic changes in all aspects of our social lives, caused by the current epidemiological situation in the world. Psychological microclimate in a group is, in turn, capable of seriously impacting on students’ learning performance and psychological wellbeing.

Conflict Management in Health Care Institutions

Conflicts negatively affect the teamwork atmosphere. They lead to a deterioration of the psychological microclimate and reduce employability and deteriorate workers’ health. The authors noted that conflicts arise from different points of view, interests, manners, and management styles of conflict parties. Thus, an essential skill of any health care leader is the ability to prevent conflicts, reduce their negative consequences, resolve disputes, and create an atmosphere of mutual intelligibility. This study is devoted to conducting theoretical and practical research on conflict management in healthcare to form proposals for reducing the conflict level in healthcare institutions. The research uses methods of a systematic approach, sociological survey, testing, questionnaires, systematization, comparison, and logical generalization. The practical analysis of the conflict management process was carried out in the municipal non-profit enterprise of the Sumy Regional Council «Regional Diagnostic Center in Shostka». The study sample consists of ten doctors and ten nurses. This study conducted the following questionnaires: «Are you a conflicted person?»; «Assessment of patients’ conflict personality»; «Assessment of personality conflict»; «Assessment of balance in conflicts and propensity to nervous breakdowns», K. Thomas’ test «Identification of behaviors in conflict situations», A. Asinger’s methods of diagnosing aggression in the relationship. The findings showed that nurses are characterized by a higher level of personal conflict than doctors. Besides, in most conflict situations, health professionals prefer cooperation as a tactic of negotiation in conflicts. However, a third of conflict situations are characterized by the parties’ «opposition». The results showed that the most common conflict situations are the doctor-doctor and nurse-nurse. Conflicts between doctor-patient and nurse-patient occurred approximately equally. 75% of respondents indicated an average level of aggression. Based on the obtained results, to prevent and reduce the number of conflicts in health care institutions, the authors emphasized the importance of counseling and psychological work to resolve disputes, creating conditions for positive psychological relations between health professionals and patients, active use of information, communication, social-psychological, organizational technologies of conflict management.
