Abstract
The purpose of this work was to carry out a comparative assessment of indicators of psychosocial functioning among psychiatrists in terms of the presence and severity of professional maladjustment (PM) and emotional burnout (EB) in them, in order to further determine therapeutic tactics —rehabilitation work with this contingent. The study sample were 120 psychiatrists who worked in Kyiv between February 24, 2022 and the end of the year. Examined were divided into three groups: the first group — 30.8 % (37 people) — doctors without signs of PM, and with a low level of EB; the second group — 47.5 % (57 people) — persons with signs of PM and a moderate level of EB; the third group — 21.7 % (26 people) — respondents with clinically defined andpronounced PM and a high level of EB. The psychosocial component of PM and EB was evaluated according to the parameters of social-psychological adaptation/maladaptation and quality of life.
Psychiatrists without signs of PM with a low level of EB have indicators of social and psychological adaptation within the normal range, doctors with individual signs of PM with a moderate level of EB are mostly on the borderline of norm/maladaptation, and psychiatrists with a formal PM and high level of EB are characterized by low adaptation and pronounced socio-psychological maladaptation
Psychiatrists with signs of PM are characterized by a significant deterioration of quality of life in all key areas, and the greatest decrease in quality of life is observed in doctors with clinically defined PM and pronounced socio-psychological maladjustment. Indicators of quality of life revealed significant inverse correlations with the expressiveness of psychopathological symptoms, the closest in the field of subjective well-being / satisfactions, less close — in the sphere of fulfilling social roles, and the least dense — in the sphere of external living conditions.
The identified regularities should be considered in developing treatment and rehabilitation measures for psychiatrists with manifestations of PM and EB.
