Abstract. The purpose of the study is to identify the dynamics of the psychophysiological state of EMERCOM of Russia specialists with signs of emotional burnout during a 10-day program of general health and medical and psychological rehabilitation.
Materials and methods of research. The sample included 41 specialists who were sent for medical and psychological rehabilitation (MPR) to the Siberian branch of the Centre for emergency psychological assistance of EMERCOM of Russia based on the results of a psychodiagnostic monitoring survey. According to the results of psychological diagnostics, the sample was divided into 2 groups: 1st – persons with the presence of developing symptoms and phases of emotional burnout – 29 people; 2nd – persons with the presence of the developed phases of resistance and exhaustion – 12 people. The research methods were: psychological interview, V.V. Boyko’s emotional burnout questionnaire; psychophysiological examination using the hardware complexes “Psychophysiologist” and “Reactor”, Martine’s test, etc.
Research results and their analysis. The prevailing structure of emotional burnout of specialists is both the emerging and the established phases of resistance. The implementation of a 10-day general health program of MPR leads to statistically significant shifts – within the same level – towards improving functional mobility and coordination of movements, reducing emotional excitability, improving the emotional state mainly in group 1 individuals – with developing symptoms and phases of emotional burnout – in contrast to group 2 individuals – with established phases, as well as to subjective improvement of well-being in both groups.
Indicators of functional mobility of the nervous system and motor-visual coordination of movements can be considered as the most sensitive to measures of medical and psychological rehabilitation of specialists with developing phases of emotional burnout. For specialists with existing symptoms and phases of emotional burnout, it is necessary to develop specialized correction modules and supplement the content of a 10-day general health program with methods that are specifically focused on the study of the psychological aspects of emotional burnout. This group of people may need an increase of the duration of the rehabilitation program, as well as of the number of sessions of individual psychological correction.
