Emotional burnout syndrome was assessed via a questionnaire «Occupational burnout» including 3 scales: «Emotional exhaustion» (1), «Depersonalization» (2) and «Personal achievements reduction» (3). 3 groups of the examinees were identified: group 1 — senior officers (15), group 2 — doctors (40), group 3 — nurses and paramedical personnel (82). All the examinees underwent 8 weeks of psychologic rehabilitation based on training of stress-resistance, personality development and relaxation methods.
Results. Groups 1 and 2 demonstrated medium (scales 1 and 3) and high (scale 2) levels of emotional burnout syndrome, and the group 3 presented medium (scale 3) and low (scales 1 and 2) levels. All the groups responded positively on psychologic rehabilitation that decreased emotional exhaustion, increased responsibility for daily duties, improved and stabilized self-esteem.
