Abstract

An anonymous questionnaire for 223 listeners of pre-certification cycles in 2018 revealed a high incidence rate of burnout syndrome among primary health care physicians with the highest rates among emergency medicine doctors. In the rating structure of stressors for emergency medicine doctors in the first place was a low salary – (5.42±1.2) points; in family doctors and physicians – excess of bureaucratic tasks – (6.78±2.2) and (6.22±3.2) points, respectively. Advantage in overcoming the burnout syndrome 67.6 % of primary health care physicians provide a discussion in the family or circle of friends; exercise, as a means of overcoming stress, was selected by 41.9 %. The survey by the technique of Boyko V. revealed the formation of a resistence phase in 87.2 % of respondents with a dominant symptom “expanding the scope of “saving”emotions” – (30.2 ± 10.4) points. Answers to the block of questions, about the motivational factors of training in pre-certification courses, as well as its role in overcoming the burnout syndrome, demonstrated the tendency of most listeners to consider the growth of professional level as a preventative factor in overcoming the syndrome in modern conditions. Therefore, postgraduate training can be considered as a factor in increasing the effectiveness of a complex of preventive measures to overcome the burnout syndrome in primary care doctors.
