In the context of the increasing level of requirements, new re-forms and standards in the modern educational system, teachers experience a significant emotional burden. The professional activity of a university lecturer is accompanied by increased moral responsibility and, consequently, is characterized by a high level of emotional, and in the future, professional burnout. Some socio-psychological and professional features, as well as risk factors for professional burnout of higher school teachers, are noted. The results of the study of the diagnosis of professional burnout of medical university lecturers are presented. It is noted that in specialists who are lecturers and doctors at the same time, professional burnout is more pronounced than in lecturers who are engaged only in pedagogical activities. The factors that mostly cause the process of burnout of teachers are identified: work experience, age, dissatisfaction with work, stress resistance. The recommendations on the implementation of the skills of self-regulation of the emotional state, aimed at preventing the syndrome of professional burnout, are given.

Physicians’ communicative competence is of immense importance for their professional activity. The current study presumes that future doctors’ communicative competence correlates with their stress resistance which influences their professional performance of duties. The specific aim of our research was to conduct a thorough study of the communicative competence of future doctors with different levels of stress resistance. According to the analysis of the level of their stress resistance, seventy-seven senior students of the Donetsk National Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine were divided into three groups. Further, applying a set of appropriate psychodiagnostic methods and techniques, their communicative competence was evaluated. The results have proved that the research participants with a high level of stress resistance are more communicatively competent compared to the participants with average and low-level stress resistance. Our findings suggest that future physicians’ communicative competence, as it is closely connected with their stress resistance, needs more considerable attention of authorities in medical education. So, we speculate that introducing socio-psychological training sessions both to the curriculum and to the process of current physicians' professional development will contribute to the successful performance of future doctors’ professional duties under pressure, and their interaction with colleagues, patients, and their relatives.

Psychological readiness is a complex phenomenon that includes a variety of motivational and regulatory components, a system of cognitive patterns of future activities and working conditions, predictive assessments, as well as managing your own emotional reactions. In the professional field of «Man-Technique», the subject of labor, managing a complex technical system, must have a high level of stress tolerance and self-regulation, which gives particular importance to the problem of professional diagnosis and selection. Subjective criteria can catch the «subtle» emotional experiences, the nuances of cognitive-affective processes that simultaneously occur in the psyche of the individual. Objective criteria — often require a rather expensive research procedure. In this regard, diagnostic techniques that combine efficiency and short duration with validity criteria are most in demand. To test the assumptions of their effectiveness, a study was conducted of psychological readiness for professional activity among novice drivers, as well as among cadets-pilots of civil aviation who begin training flight training. Samples «Falling words», «Manifest words» study the perceptual mechanisms underlying the subject’s interpretation of the situation as potentially stressful, diagnosing perceptive alertness / protection. A professional who has a high willingness to interpret the received signals as stressful will recognize these words faster, which will be reflected in the objective criterion — a short signal recognition time. A comparison of the data with the results of the coping tests revealed that for novice drivers, perceptual vigilance prevails over perceptual protection. More experienced drivers often discharge suppressed emotions (usually hostility, anger), directing them to objects that are less dangerous or more accessible than those that caused negative emotions and feelings. The psychological readiness for training flights among cadets needs an additional study of perceptual and emotional components that will be used in self-regulation of resistance to emotional and psychological stress associated with upcoming professional activities.

The results of theoretical research identify the following specific features of spiritual intelligence development among future educators: awareness of self-realization, ability to forecast, professionalism, and capability of the person to self-regulation. Spiritual intelligence is represented as the highest form of intelligence of the teacher’s personality, which determines the structure of one’s values, is used for self-expression (which is the primary goal of pedagogical activity), and is a determining success factor in the process of forming a model of understanding the meaning of life by the followers. The spiritual intelligence of a teacher guides one’s ability for self-improvement and self-motivation for effective, humanistic-oriented pedagogical activity, and is the main mean of finding teacher's own “Me” within the framework of the professional activity. The core traits of the highly-developed spiritual intelligence of the teacher are seen in one’s ability to inspire others, to a deep self-awareness, to flexibility in making pedagogical decisions, as well as in one's capability of representing compassion and openness in relation to the learners. Spiritual and intellectual abilities and skills may have significant differences among people, depending on the individual characteristics of the individual, one’s spiritual beliefs, religious preconditions for one’s formation and development. The spiritual intelligence of the individual can be advanced throughout life, and this tendency may be referred to as the necessary prerequisite for the professional development of teachers and their achievement of a high level of pedagogical mastery.

In medicine, extreme conditions and occupational stress are caused by a high level of responsibility, constant tension, heavy workload, complex relationships with patients and colleagues, etc. Therefore, it is important to preserve the physical and mental health of medical workers in order to increase their adaptability and resistance to extreme factors and everyday stress. To improve the quality of health care, it is important not only to establish stress factors, but also to increase adaptability and stress resistance. The research objective was to outline possibilities for increasing adaptability in medical students based on the analysis of factors of professional stress in medical practitioners. Stress factors include time restrictions, gap between salary and labor effort, physical exhaustion, emotionally unbalanced patients, night shifts, high work rates, high level of responsibility for the life and health of other people, inability to think about anything else but work, and high demands that patients place on medical workers. The study revealed dependence between adaptability and stress tolerance in medical doctors. Age and work experience did not correlate with the level of organizational stress and adaptability. The profile of medical activity and position was found to affect these indicators to a greater extent than age. Specific stressors appeared at any age and career stage, but some practitioners were more vulnerable. 90 % of medical students already demonstrated a high level of organizational stress. Thus, although most of the stressors are unavoidable, it is still possible to outline some ways to increase the stress resistance and adaptability in medical students by developing their professional competencies.

The aim of this research is identifying differences in the development of learning skills of students of engineering and humanitarian orientation in the process of their training at the University. Learning skills, as the ability to carry out the process of acquiring subject knowledge in various fields, are recognized by world experts. The importance of learning skills has increased especially at the present time, due to the need for self-development of competence in the process of professional activity after graduation. In the course of the study, the main and supplementary learning skills, as well as the ability to self-regulate training activities and academic performance of students of technical and humanitarian orientation, who are at different stages of training, were diagnosed. The results of this study show that the learning skills of students in both directions develop sideways in the process of subject learning, but this process has different results and character in relation to their development. Thus, engineering students have a higher level of learning skills and self-regulation by the end of their studies, while humanities students have a higher level of exposure to supplementary learning. Basic learning skills are developed better among engineering students with higher abilities to self-regulate learning activities, while for psychology students, this relationship is not found. In addition, the academic performance of engineering students increases with a high level of development of knowledge-building abilities, control of additional learning skills and self-regulation of educational activities. Academic performance of students in the Humanities increases with a high ability to implement independent building of knowledge, a high level of control over the motivational and volitional sphere and learning goals, as well as the ability to evaluate results in the course of educational activities.
