The main study methods were clinical and psychological and experimental-psychological. Results. Psychodiagnostics made it possible to clarify the types of emotional states and self-attitudes that characterized the specificity of burnout. Psychodiagnostic examination confirmed the presence in the subjects studied the elements of existential crisis associated with both professional situations and the personality traits of the "burned out" persons.

Medical workers have become a most affected population group during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). They were the first to start fighting against an unknown infection and at that stage their psychoemotional state determined not only correct evaluations of a situation but also relevant planning regarding control over it. Our research aim was to reveal risk groups among medical workers regarding developing emotional burnout syndrome and peculiarities of reacting to stress in an emergency epidemic situation. We applied our own author’s anonymous online poll available at Google platform to examine psychoemotional state of medical workers. The poll had a built-in “Scale of perceived stress-10” that included two sub-scales; one of them measured a subjectively perceived level of the situation strain and the other, the amounts of efforts made by medical workers to overcome it. The poll was performed in November–December 2020; overall, 638 medical workers took part in it. They were of different age and sex and had different positions and working experience. We established great variability in individual levels of overstrain as per the stress perception sub-scale (Ех < 0; Ех = –0.59) with more “low” than “high” values as per this sub-scale (Аs > 0; Аs = 5.66). Having analyzed variability of values as per the stress overcoming sub-scale, we revealed that they were homogenous (Ех > 0; Ех = 3.98) with prevailing “high” values (Аs < 0; Аs = –6.97). Medical workers with their working experience being shorter than 5 years turned out to be a risk group with the most destructive reactions to long-term affecting stress factors at work and at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from them, high mental risks were also detected for workers who treated patients with COVID-19 as well as those who had previously had the coronavirus infection. The research allowed obtaining actual data on psychoemotional state of medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and determining potential risk groups regarding developing emotional burnout syndrome. We substantiated the necessity to constantly provide psychological trainings for medical workers with their focus on peculiarities of their reacting during the first meeting with destabilizing factors and with further adjustment of educational programs provided for potential risk groups.

Summary. One of the phenomena of personal deformation is emotional burnout (EB). Emotional burnout syndrome (EBS) can occur during studying in institution (university) and become an obstacle in its process. EBS affects up to 40% (students) of young people studying. Components of learning: social comparison and evaluation, dissatisfaction with the process and the result of learning, feelings of injustice in the assessment of knowledge, unjustified hopes, difficulties in communication are factors of emotional burnout. Aim. To determine the presence and influence of negative factors on the possibility of emotional burnout in students of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. A one-step (transverse) study was conducted. Social networks popular among students – Telegram, Instagram – were chosen to distribute the questionnaire. In particular, the survey form was sent in such chats as NMU, KT-18, LNTU students, conversations of students of NMU named after O.O. Bogomolets, National University “Lviv Polytechnic” and Borys Hrinchenko Kyiv University. Results and discussion. When analyzing the data according to the specialization of the higher educational institution and the year of study, attention is drawn to the increase in the percentage of students studying medicine, dentistry, pharmacy according to the years of study who force themselves to work (learn subjects) despite fatigue. These are the students of second grade – 8.33%, third – 23.86%, and fifth one 25%. The number of such students studying philology tends to decrease from 100% in the third study year to 25% in the fourth one. The number of third-year students who try to study despite fatigue, in the field of economics, philology and management and marketing is greater than among students who study in the field of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. 33.3%, 100%, 28.5% against 23.8%, respectively. Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that with each study year, the percentage of students who feel depressed due to learning difficulties, who feel tired and unwilling to study in senior grades, is growing. It was also detected that in senior grades among students who experience chronic fatigue, the use of psychoactive substances is highly spread. Among the surveyed students, there is a high percentage of probable risk of development of the syndrome of emotional burnout (SEB). It is specified that the percentage of probable risk of SEB increases with each year of study. It was found that medical students tend to feel chronic fatigue and the need for additional motivation to study earlier than other students. Computer science students were the least likely to develop emotional burnout.
