CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVELOPMENT OF EMOTIONAL BURNOUT SYNDROME IN FAMILY DOCTORS AND THEIR CORRECTION METHODS.

OBJECTIVE

The aim: Among the adverse psychological changes associated with medical work, a significant place belongs to the emotional burnout syndrome, which significantly affects a doctor's social functioning. The purpose of the study was to determine the behavioural activity types and to study the muscular sensitivity threshold of family doctors with the formed emotional burnout syndrome.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Materials and methods: We examined 83 female family doctors with diagnosed emotional burnout syndrome. The treatment was carried out with the help of the Taiji-Quan eastern wellness system.

RESULTS

Results: The analysis of indicators of the behavioural activity revealed before treatment in 72,5% of women in the intervention group and in 69,8% of women in the control group (p>0,05) signs of the high probability of type A behaviour. After a three-month course of treatment, the percentage of manifestations of type A behaviour in women in the intervention group decreased from 72,5% to 40,0% (p 0,05). When examining the features of muscular tone at the beginning of treatment, it was found that 69,9% of women in the intervention group and 65,1% of the control group had a high degree of muscle blocks (p>0,05). After treatment, the percentage of women with a high degree of muscle blocks decreased to 37,5% (p 0,05) in the control group.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions: The taiji-Quan treatment made it possible to significantly reduce type A behaviour and to decrease the amount of "muscle blocks".
