Prerequisites for the formation of the «burnout syndrome» among rescuers EMERCOM of Russia in the Arctic region
Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the "emotional burnout syndrome" among the EMERCOM rescuers of Russia. A total of 226 rescuers were examined, which were divided into 4 groups depending on the length of their professional experience in the Arctic region (using the example of the Murmansk region) and in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation (using the example of Voronezh). To determine the prerequisites for the formation of "burnout syndrome", we used standardized psychological methods and a questionnaire designed to collect anamnestic information about health-preserving behavior. For statistical data processing, the Mann– Whitney U-test and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient were used.
The results of the study showed that in proportion to the increase in the length of service of the rescuers in the Arctic region, the average indicator for the main phases of "burnout syndrome" (at p < 0.001) increases: "stress", "resistance" and "exhaustion". However, given the peculiarities of health-preserving behavior and the extreme climatic conditions of the Arctic region, which negatively affect the psychoemotional state and somatic health of specialists, high scores for the phases of the "burnout syndrome" cannot directly judge its formation.
