This study examined burnout dynamics among Ukrainian academic staff during the full-scale war. A cross-sectional study was conducted twice: the first wave in July 2022 and the second in January 2023. To assess the burnout syndrome as the final outcome, the self-reported Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services adapted for socioeconomic professions by Vodopyanova was used and correlated with different characteristics. The results showed a significant positive trend in emotional exhaustion among Ukrainian academic staff, with females being more sensitive to war-related factors. The results demonstrate that prolonged stressful situations associated with the ongoing war and constant changes in professional conditions lead to significant depersonalization dynamics among academic staff of both sexes. For male academic staff, factors such as age and academic position become less significant for depersonalization. However, university relocation and migration processes were significant factors affecting female academic staff's' perception of effectiveness and accomplishment in their professional activities. The alarming dynamic of burnout levels detected among Ukrainian academic staff urges the national and institutional levels to take prompt actions to enhance the academic staff's mental health in the workplace for preserving not only the quality of higher education, but also human capital in war times for postwar recovery in Ukraine.
本研究调查了全面战争期间乌克兰学术人员的职业倦怠动态。进行了两次横断面研究：第一次于2022年7月进行，第二次于2023年1月进行。为了评估职业倦怠综合征这一最终结果，使用了由沃多皮亚诺娃改编的适用于社会经济职业的自我报告式马氏职业倦怠量表，并将其与不同特征进行关联。结果显示，乌克兰学术人员的情感耗竭呈显著的积极趋势，女性对与战争相关的因素更为敏感。结果表明，与持续战争相关的长期压力状况以及职业条件的不断变化，导致男女学术人员都出现了显著的去个性化动态。对于男性学术人员而言，年龄和学术职位等因素对去个性化的影响较小。然而，大学搬迁和迁移过程是影响女性学术人员对其职业活动有效性和成就感认知的重要因素。乌克兰学术人员中检测到的令人担忧的职业倦怠水平动态，促使国家和机构层面迅速采取行动，以改善工作场所中学术人员的心理健康，这不仅是为了维持高等教育的质量，也是为了在战时保护人力资本，以便乌克兰战后能够恢复。
