DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2022-1-170-180
During the period of an epidemiologically unstable situation in the world, the risk of emotional exhaustion and a decrease in the professional activity among medical workers increases. The relevance and social significance of solving this problem is due to the fact that the burnout syndrome has a complex form and is interpreted heterogeneously from the point of view of root causes and final outcome. In this turn, it is necessary to find out some psychological means and methods. The purpose of the article is to explore a personal resource of overcoming a professional burnout by medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been proven that doctors who possess resilience as one of the personal resources are distinguished by personal qualities that can help to adapt and withstand difficult social situations. The personal resources to overcome the professional burnout by health workers are characterized such categories as dominance, expressiveness, high standard behavior, courage, practicality, diplomacy, nonconformism, high self-control and tension. The health workers sown in this sample are autonomous, independent, firm and resilient. Intransigence, independence and a certain amount of stubbornness can be personal resources to overcome professional burnout, as it reflects the active and independent position by employees. The features of professional burnout by medical workers during a pandemic have been identified. It is found, that a high level of resilience in the structure of personal resources is a factor in overcoming professional burnout among doctors.
