Psychological testing for identifation the risks of professional burnout of medical employers

Professions related to medicine (doctors, paramedics, nurses, etc.) are professions that are characterized by the intensity and intensity of a psycho-emotional state, as well as an increased risk of professional burnout. If we talk about doctors who combine medical and administrative (chief doctors, deputy chief doctors, etc.) or medical and teaching (teachers of medical universities) activities, then they have a double burden and responsibility: they fall into the risk group for the development of professional burnout both as doctors and as health care professionals. and as teachers. Therefore, along with medical examinations for the timely detection of somatic diseases, it is important to periodically undergo tests to diagnose professional (emotional) burnout. However, when passing professional burnout tests in institutions, some employees may not answer questions quite honestly, because they want to present themselves in a better light and are afraid that they will have difficulties with the HR department. As additional methods to clarify the severity of psycho-emotional stress and, indirectly, emotional burnout, we can recommend psychological testing methods — tests to assess the level of anxiety, depression, neuroticism, and quality of life, which can also be used for self-diagnosis, in which the percentage of false positive responses is minimal. The article discusses several tests for assessing psycho-emotional status, which can be used to analyze the severity of anxiety, depression, and asthenia, which often accompany professional emotional burnout.
