Abstract

Introduction. Modern life in conditions of full-scale war makes people more and more vulnerable. The fast rhythm of life is an inevitable companion of any goal-oriented and prosperous person in his career. Intense work in wartime mode and constant time pressure, the desire to do as many things as possible at the same time, increasing time requirements, exhaust the capabilities of the nervous system, which are not unlimited. Issues of prevention and management of stress at work are becoming more and more relevant, since the socio-economic and political situation changes quite quickly in war conditions, the requirements for the efficiency of any professional activity increase, and the neuro-psychological and informational loads increase. As a result, a long-term stress reaction occurs due to the effect on a person of chronic professional stress, which today is considered as a syndrome of "professional burnout". In this regard, the syndrome of "professional burnout" should be considered as a factor that leads to the deformation of the personality of a professional.
The hypothesis of the scientific research consists in the study of the problems of professional burnout of scientific and pedagogical workers of higher education institutions in the conditions of war and the development of recommendations on ways to solve them.
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the peculiarities of professional burnout of scientific and pedagogical workers of higher education institutions in the conditions of war and ways of solving them.
The methodology of scientific research is general scientific research methods: comparison, expert analysis, grouping method, systematic approach. One of the effective methods for preventing the syndrome of "professional burnout" in the field of "people-to-people" professions is a properly organized and content-filled educational environment of a higher education institution in wartime conditions.
Conclusions and prospects for further research. The study defined the concept of "professional burnout". The main problems affecting the formation of the "professional burnout" syndrome of teachers of higher education institutions are characterized. The syndrome of "professional burnout" is revealed as a dynamic process and the stages of development are highlighted. The question of the influence of the peculiarities of the educational environment in the conditions of war and in general professional activity in the field of "person-to-person" professions on the development of professional burnout syndrome is highlighted.
