To analyze the frequency of psychological signs of professional burnout and related deformations of professionally important personality traits in medical officers engaged in clinical and managerial activities.Methodology. The study was conducted in 2018-2019 at the research center of the Kirov Military Medical Academy (St. Petersburg). The object were the medical service officers (n = 203) engaged in clinical and managerial activitiesy, who arrived from the troops to apply for residency. The complex of psychodiagnostic methods included 50-point IPIP-version of “Markers of the big five” questionnaire by L. Goldberg; psychodiagnostic questionnaire “Deviance”, developed by the staff of the S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy; “Professional burnout” questionnaire by M.A. Dmitrieva and V.M. Snetkov; “Individual typological questionnaire” by L.N. Sobchik. To identify professionally important person qualities and their subsequent assessment, the officers underwent a survey. It was found out what personal qualities of managers, subordinates and colleagues are valuable (important), or, conversely, interfere with the professional activity. The results were systematized using content analysis.Results and Discussion. The conducted psychodiagnostic examination of medical officers showed that both managerial and clinical activities in the troops can contribute to emotional fatigue, increasing indifference, deformation of contacts with the military, a negative assessment of oneself and one’s professional capabilities. Professional burnout signs were found in 9.4 and 9.3 % of clinical specialists and medical platoon commanders (chiefs of unit medical service), respectively. Statistically significant interrelations are established between professional burnout indicators and such relatively steady traits as excessive propensity to risk, search of thrills, autoand hetero-aggression, inadequate self-assessment, isolation, internal conflicts. The higher need for external control and motivation in officers with more pronounced signs of professional burnout were established.Conclusion. The relevance of professional burnout screening of military doctors and medical units commanders is substantiated. Timely detection of adverse personality deformities caused by professional burnout and the development of measures to eliminate the negative states can play a positive role in maintaining the health and professional longevity of medical professionals.

The article explores motivational and personality predictors of burnout syndrome in sports coaches. The study involved 183 sports coaches of 20–63 years old (86.9% women; M=41.34±10.56 years), with professional experience for 13.83±9.98 years. Three components of professional burnout ― Emotional exhaustion, Depersonification and Reduction of professional achievements ― were measured with the adapted Maslach professional burnout inventory (Vodopyanova, et al 2008). Motivational aspects were measured with the adapted Ryan and Connell Professional Motivation inventory (Osin et al, 2017). Personal resources ― stress resistance, authenticity and coping strategies ― were measured with the adapted Connor-Davidson Stress Resilience Scale (Nartova-Bochaver et al., 2021), the Moscow Authenticity Scale (Reznichenko et al., 2021) and the adapted Proactive Coping Questionnaire adapted (Belinskaya et al, 2018). The results showed that amotivation and external motives of professional activity are linked positively and internal motivation linked negatively to professional burnout. Furthermore, the links between the types of motivation and the components of burnout in different combinations are mediated by stress resistance, authenticity, and coping skills that prevent burnout. The strongest link of motivation and personal resources was revealed for the Reduction of professional achievements; the weakest link was in the context of Depersonification of a sports coach. Burnout was also positively linked to age and negatively to coaches' experience. The data obtained can be used to form preventive interventions that reduce the burnout of coaches and increase their professional performance, mental health and subjective well-being.

The article deals with the results of the study on burnout syndrome among teachers with various work experiences in university. The aim of the study is the review of burnout psychological patterns among teachers with various work experiences in university. The main hypothesis of the study is based on the assumption that the teachers whose work experience in departmental universities is more than 10 years are more vulnerable to the burnout syndrome development. In order to attain the envisaged goals and to test the hypothesis there were used empirical methods: differential diagnosis of decreased functioning by A. Leonova and S. Velichkovskaya, diagnosis of professional burnout by K. Maslach and S. Jackson adapted by N.E. Vodop’yanova, technique for diagnosing the burnout syndrome level by V.V. Boiko. Group comparison of teachers with various work experiences in university has shown that long term professional activity leads to burnout syndrome development: the most part of examined teachers are characterized by high level of burnout syndrome which structure is observed in high intensity of resistance and exhaustion phases and such syndromes as inadequate emotional discrete response; resignation or depersonalization, emotional and moral disorientation; psychosomatic and vegetative disorders.
