The relevance of the problem of emotional burnout among mental health professionals is related to the specifics of working conditions (the negative impact of professional workload and subjective difficulties due to the use of suboptimal coping strategies of behavior and attitude, especially in difficult conditions of military conflicts, when a person’s professional activity can become a powerful negative factor).

The purpose of the study: to assess the state of emotional burnout and its components in narcologists during the war, to analyze its determinants (personal and professional).

59 narcologists from various psychiatric care institutions in Ukraine were surveyed. The survey was administered after obtaining prior informed consent to participate in the study via the REDCap platform.

A comprehensive approach was used: sociodemographic: "Questionnaire of sociodemographic indicators in mental health workers during the war", psychometric and psychodiagnostic methods: "Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire" (ProQOL-5), questionnaire for measuring burnout (BAT-1 and BAT-2), questionnaire K. Maslach, S. Jackson, methodology for diagnosing socio-psychological adaptation by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, questionnaire "Coping strategies" by R. Lazarus. The results obtained were subjected to statistical processing using descriptive and inferential statistics. Student’s t-test assessed the reliability of differences between groups. The assessment of correlations was calculated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Based on the results of the study, the presence of various stages of emotional burnout syndrome (EBS) was established in 93.22% of the surveyed narcologists and certain features were identified. In 6.78%, no manifestations of EBS were detected.
