Features of emotional burnout in the context of training physicians using simulation technologies

The article presents a study on the formation of phases and the severity of symptoms of burnout syndrome among doctors who have completed advanced training programs using simulation technologies. The study involved doctors who participated in advanced training courses at the Educational and Accreditation Center – Medical Simulation Center of the S.P. Botkin Moscow Multidisciplinary Research and Clinical Center in 2024. All phases of burnout syndrome were identified in 71 (50%) of the respondents. Individual symptoms of burnout syndrome were identified in 140 of the 142 study participants; more common were such as "experiencing traumatic circumstances" (83/58.45%), "inadequate selective response" (82/57.74%), "reduction of professional duties" (79/55.63%). Compared with surgeons, anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians were more likely to have all three phases, with symptoms such as "emotional and moral disorientation" being more pronounced (p <0.05). The data obtained on the high incidence of burnout syndrome, the degree of formation of phases and the severity of individual symptoms among doctors studying advanced training cycles using simulation technologies allow us to identify the main areas of preventive work in the future.
