Occupational stress and health of medical and educational workers: the status of the problem

Among the professions in which emotional burnout occurs most frequently (up to 90%), those working in a "person-to-person" system, or "helping professions", such as medical workers, teachers, psychologists, social workers, rescuers, and law enforcement officers, should be noted. Medical workers rank first among helping professions. The prevalence of emotional burnout syndrome is estimated at up to 99% in screening surveys of physicians of various specialties. Knowledge of the professional history is essential when constructing burnout prediction maps. It is crucial to promptly identify personal and work-related risk factors for the development of emotional burnout. This allows for a systematic approach to this problem and the planning of individualized burnout prevention strategies for both the specific organization and the individual specialist. Optimizing prevention strategies is a priority today, as severe burnout is difficult to reverse.
