The article is devoted to the study of burnout, which is interpreted as the inability to perform professional duties at the proper level due to prolonged physical and/or mental overload. The main content of the study is to determine the possibilities of prevention of professional burnout of a social worker in order to ensure his physical and mental health.Scientific opinions and positions on the relevance, purpose, multifaceted nature, content of prevention, objective and subjective factors of prevention, differences in organizational and psychological and pedagogical influences of prevention, the specifics of social prevention and prevention. As well as the impact on the professional activities of social norms and deviations from norms, values, responsibilities. The causes of burnout can be differentiated by the nature of the determination. Among the main groups of determinants – social, medical, biological, psychological. The conducted survey among social specialists on the state of professional burnout revealed certain tendencies and regularities among them. This was evidenced by statistics relating to the factors influencing the professional burnout of the specialist, as well as their dynamics. The basis of professional activity should be to provide conditions for this. However, collective life, in addition to having advantages, is also endowed with negative features. Indicators of collective distress that have a direct impact on the professional burnout of an individual member of the team are identified. These include problems and / or lack of corporate culture; dissatisfaction with the psychological atmosphere prevailing in the team; presence of conflict situations, quarrels, intrigue; absence or problems of interpersonal communication in the team, division into groups; low level of mutual assistance and support, unwillingness to maintain friendly relations; no punishment for guilt, reaction to negative behavior of colleagues, control over subjective factors; lack of prospects for team development; lack of conditions for personal development and formation; lack of measures to prevent occupational burnout. For comparison, the experimental study involved people who did not suffer from burnout and people who survived the state of burnout. Thus, people who have experienced a state of burnout have much deeper psycho-emotional disorders. Their professional experience is characterized by significant negative experiences and beliefs. Positive corporate social ties have been disrupted in their lives, which can lead to disruption in other areas: family, personal, spiritual and emotional. That is, it causes a number of other shifts. Certain trends are evidenced by statistics on the assessment of the existing risks of burnout, which concern specialists in various fields: almost all recognized the fact of burnout to varying degrees; the vast majority of respondents assess the ability to perform professional duties generally well, but the lack of an absolute answer also indicates the risks involved; mostly the presence of risks of burnout is assessed indirectly. On the basis of statistical indicators of occupational burnout, their dynamics can be distinguished victim groups. Given the classification of propensity to burnout, prevention technologies can be used. In each of the three cases, the approach will be different. It is established that a special place is occupied by the subjective factor of professional activity. Professional burnout is caused by various factors: social and organizational conditions of functioning of collective, legislative and normative-organizational maintenance of process of work; individual and personal qualities of personality, stress resistance, motivation of activity; compliance of qualities and personality traits with the requirements of the chosen profession, professional competence; ability to work in a team, ability to take into account the opinions and positions of others, sociability; availability of life, professional experience; psychological compatibility of individual team members; ability to control the situation in the team by management; corporate culture, the presence of common interests and activities, interest in the development and prosperity of the team. Theoretical analysis and experimental study of problems related to burnout indicate the presence of risks in the professional activities of professionals from different social structures. That is, it depends not so much on objective factors as on the subjective attitude of the individual to himself and his mental and physical health. And the problem looks not so much psychological as psychological and pedagogical.

Introduction. The leading approaches to the phenomenon of the civil protection specialists’ readiness for professional activities are considered. It was revealed that the problem of the socio-psychological impact of the emergency situations on specialists who provide assistance under special conditions remains poorly investigated. Purpose. In this context, our goal is a systematic study of the civil protection specialist’s readiness to work under special conditions (in emergency situations). Methods. The basic structural components of the investigated concept are characterized and their generalized characteristics are given. A review of scientific publications in the interdisciplinary problem field, including the study of the psychological parameters of professional work under special conditions was conducted. The multifaceted pedagogical modeling allowed to identify causal relationships and factors, to predict the benefits and possible disadvantages of introducing innovations, and to increase the productivity of the work of the scientific and pedagogical team. Results. Pedagogical model of formation of civil protection specialists’ readiness for professional activities is created; normative preconditions, structure, components and operating conditions of the model are considered; its emergent properties are revealed. The model includes target, conceptual and theoretical, organizational and projecting, content, procedural and technological, result-evaluation components. In order to prepare the readiness of civil defense specialists for professional activity, it is appropriate to foresee: the establishment of a favorable atmosphere in which students and students feel free and comfortable; to intensify them, directing active collaboration with all participants in the educational process; to stimulate the interests of future specialists, to develop the need to study, contributing to success in vocational training; touch all aspects of the personality, involving emotions, feelings and feelings in the learning process; to stimulate cognitive, creative abilities, correlating them with real needs and opportunities; to promote awareness of each student and student that the learning outcomes are related to their personal interests; apply different forms of work (individual, group, collective), use methods that increase the activity of cadets and students, their independence, individuality, etc. A holistic analysis of the results of the implementation of the proposed model gives grounds for arguing that its application contributes to better preparedness, optimal adaptation of personnel to extreme, risky situations under special conditions of service activity, reduction of the level of mental losses among the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and successful overcoming of the negative consequences of crisis and extraordinary circumstances and situations. Conclusion. The research of the system of formation of professional readiness of civil protection specialists for professional activities in the dynamics of their professional genesis, including activities in extreme situations, was carried out, which made it possible to optimize the training of employees of various services of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in order to improve the measures and mechanisms of prevention and liquidation of the consequences of emergencies. A model was developed that reflects the main principles of forming the readiness of civil defense specialists for professional activity, pedagogical goals, tasks, priorities, peculiarities and conditions for the organization and implementation of this process. We recommend to use the developed model as a tool through which the leadership and professors of specialized higher education institutions will optimize the educational process in order to improve the quality of training of civil defense specialists.

The work focuses on the study of psychological readiness for change and psychological resilience among employees of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine. It is shown that in the conditions of reforming, readiness for changes is a psychological condition for successful professional activity and personal self-realization of the staff of the criminal executive service. The content of the concept of “psychological readiness” and “psychological readiness for change” is disclosed, the purposefulness of the study of psychological resilience as one of the factors of psychological readiness for change is substantiated. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the functioning of psychological readiness for changes in the context of psychological resilience of employees of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine. The PCRS (Change Personal Readiness Survey) method created by A. Rolnic, S. Heather, M. Gold, C. Hull (translation and adaptation by N. A. Bazhanova and G. L. Bardier) and questionnaire of human resilience (O. O. Rylska) were applied to solve empirical problems. The subjects were employees of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine, who were divided into groups according to the level of psychological readiness for change. The first group consisted of subjects with a high level of readiness for change, the second – with a low level. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the fact that, for the first time, the features of psychological resilience in workers of the Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine in the context of psychological readiness for changes were established. It was found that the employees of the Criminal-Executive Service with a high level of psychological readiness for change are distinguished by the greater severity of psychological resilience components, such as adaptation and self-development. It is proved that the groups of employees of the Criminal-Executive Service with different levels of psychological readiness for change show differences in the structure of interrelationships between the components of psychological readiness for change and the components of psychological resilience. In both groups, the growth of psychological resilience on the whole is accompanied by a facilitation of psychological readiness for change. At the same time, in the group with high level of psychological readiness for change, there are almost twice as many interconnections between these phenomena, which indicate a more active interaction between them in this group, in contrast to the low-level group in which this interaction is rather limited. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the subjects with different levels of psychological readiness for change demonstrate differences both in the indicators of psychological resilience and in the structure of interrelations between the components of psychological readiness for change and psychological resilience. Less pronouncedness of a number of components of psychological readiness for change and a certain deficiency of its interaction with psychological resilience can hinder both the successful professional activity of low-level group and their optimal functioning in the personality’s sense. The results obtained in the study can be used to develop programs for psychological support of the professional activities of the staff of the Criminal-Executive Service at the stage of its reformation.
