Abstract

The relevance of this work is in the fact that when identifying professional maladaptation and the systemic nature of the “emotional burnout” syndrome manifestations, actions must be developed for their prevention. Otherwise, there will be manifestations of young doctors' professional deformation, depersonalization phenomena, and a deterioration in the quality of life. All this can lead to the risk of outflow of young personnel from the profession. The reform of the medical personnel training system in Ukraine is underway: the time of internship training in a clinic is increasing, and the time for department training is decreasing. The first encounter of the internship doctor with practical activities leads to a number of stresses for them. Signs of professional maladaptation appear. This leads to the emergence of the “burnout” syndrome. All these factors may result in the outflow of young personnel from the profession. A study of the first-year interns' group (n=181) was conducted. A significant degree of emotional burnout symptoms development and a significant level of professional maladaptation manifestations were revealed. It is proposed to integrate mandatory courses for professional development of the personality with the formation of competencies for adaptation, prevention of emotional burnout, self-regulation of psycho-emotional states into the system of an internship doctors training. © 2021 The Authors.
