Особенности эмоционального выгорания у военных врачей с разными моделями доверительных отношений

Introduction. Although the scientific community is highly interested in studying burnout and trust issues in medical research, there is insufficient information on the relationship between the characteristics of professional burnout and trust in its broadest sense among medical professionals. This study focuses on manifestations of emotional burnout among military doctors with different models of trust relationships. Methods. The study used the following diagnostic tools: (a) the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI; K. Maslach & S. Jackson, modified by N. E. Vodop'yanova); (b) the questionnaire for Assessing Self-Trust by T. P. Skripkina; (c) the Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale, modified by S. G. Dostovalova. The sample comprised 41 military doctors. During the study, the sample was divided into three subgroups according to trust relationship models. Results. Specialists with a balance between self-trust and trust in the world had lower levels of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. Military doctors with higher levels of self-trust and trust in the world had the highest scores of exhaustion and depersonalization, consistent with theoretical ideas about the role of trust. The scores of professional burnout were lower among respondents who had high levels of self-trust and trust in the world. The lowest scores of depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment were obtained in the subgroup of military doctors with high levels of self-trust and trust in the world. The highest scores of depersonalization were obtained in the subgroup of military doctors with a higher level of self-trust, compared to the level of trust in the world. Military doctors with average levels of self-trust and trust in the world had the highest scores of reduced personal accomplishment. Discussion. Building trust relationships with themselves and the world helps military doctors to reduce the development of symptoms of professional burnout. The results of the study expand the knowledge of the relationship between trust and professional burnout in medical practice, especially among military doctors.
