EMOTIONAL BURNOUT AND SIGNS OF DEPRESSION IN MEDICAL STUDENTS
Abstract
The article is devoted to emotional burnout and detection of early signs of depression in medical students. Medical students are in a critical period of physical and mental development. They are most susceptible to emotional burnout due to a large amount of educational information, night shifts, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, although the students themselves underestimate this state in themselves, and refer to fatigue, bad mood. Given that most medical students will become doctors and specialize in a particular profession, they experience more psychological stress and academic pressure than students at other universities. The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of susceptibility to emotional burnout and depression. On the basis of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Bashkir State Medical University, a survey was conducted using standard psychodiagnostic methods: signs of depression were assessed using the Beck Depression Scale, emotional burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire, adapted for Russia by N. E. Vodopyanova and the system index of burnout syndrome. 60 students of the medical university of the 3rd year of the pediatric faculty took part in the survey, the average age was 20 +2.3, boys – 19 people, girls – 41. Results were obtained that helped to identify signs of emotional burnout and mild to moderate depression. It is necessary to study the characteristics and factors influencing medical student burnout and develop possible solutions to prevent medical student burnout. Through this, medical students can better adapt to the environment and serve in their future careers.
