Esgotamento emocional de professores Ucranianos no contexto de uma invasão em grande escala
O magistério é considerado uma profissão emocionalmente desafiadora que pode levar ao esgotamento emocional do educador. Os fatores que podem ser considerados preditores significativos do esgotamento emocional foram generalizados. Sugere-se que os seguintes fatores estejam entre os principais grupos de sintomas de esgotamento emocional de um professor: físico, sociopsicológico, emocional, comportamental e intelectual. O objetivo do estudo foi determinar a manifestação do esgotamento emocional entre os educadores universitários na era pós-pandemia sob a lei marcial e descobrir a relação de causa e efeito. Foi realizada uma pesquisa voluntária com 177 educadores de quatro universidades localizadas na região central da Ucrânia, a uma distância de mais de 200 km da linha de operações militares diretas. Foram aplicados o "Diagnóstico do Nível de Esgotamento Emocional" de Boyko e o questionário dos autores. O estudo revelou que 13% dos educadores desenvolveram a síndrome do esgotamento emocional, e a síndrome está em fase de criação em 34,46%. Na estrutura da síndrome do esgotamento emocional, a fase dominante é a resistência. As fases de exaustão e estresse são menos pronunciadas. Entre os sintomas dominantes do esgotamento emocional estão a resposta emocional seletiva inadequada e a redução das tarefas profissionais.

Emotional burnout of Ukrainian teachers in the context of a full-scale invasion
Teaching is considered an emotionally challenging profession that can lead to the emotional burnout of an employee. Factors that might be considered significant predictors of emotional burnout have been generalized. The following are suggested to be among the primary groups of symptoms of a teacher’s emotional burnout: physical, socio-psychological, emotional, behavioral, and intellectual. The purpose of the study was to determine the manifestation of emotional burnout among university educators in the post-pandemic era under martial law and to find out the cause-and-effect relationship. A voluntary survey of 177 educators at four universities located in the central part of Ukraine, at a distance of more than 200 km from the line of direct military operations, was carried out. Boyko’s “Diagnostics of the Level of Emotional Burnout” and the authors’ questionnaire have been implied. The study revealed that 13% of educators have developed the syndrome of emotional burnout, and the syndrome is in the creation stage in 34.46%. In the structure of the syndrome of emotional burnout, the dominant phase is resistance. The exhaustion and stress phases are less pronounced. Among the dominant symptoms of emotional burnout are inadequate selective emotional responsiveness and a reduction in professional duties.

Se han generalizado los factores que podrían considerarse predictores significativos del desgaste emocional. Se sugiere que entre los principales grupos de síntomas del desgaste emocional de un profesor se encuentran los siguientes: físicos, socio-psicológicos, emocionales, conductuales e intelectuales. El propósito del estudio era determinar la manifestación del agotamiento emocional entre los educadores universitarios en la era pospandémica bajo la ley marcial y averiguar la relación causa-efecto. Se realizó una encuesta voluntaria a 177 educadores de cuatro universidades situadas en la parte central de Ucrania, a una distancia de más de 200 km de la línea de operaciones militares directas. Se han aplicado el "Diagnóstico del nivel de agotamiento emocional" de Boyko y el cuestionario de los autores. El estudio reveló que el 13% de los educadores han desarrollado el síndrome de desgaste emocional, y el síndrome se encuentra en la etapa de creación en el 34,46%.
