Designing a professional burnout correction program based on life-purpose orientations in wartime conditions

Abstract

The article discusses the results of the theoretical and experimental study for the determining features of a professional burnout correction program based on life-purpose orientations in wartime conditions in the country. It is shown that the process of formation of values is social in nature, it is closely related to the nature of the activity and mediated by communication. In the process of life, life-purpose orientations act as a regulator of behaviour and actions of the individual. Determining the discrepancy between life values and goals with the opportunity of their implementation in professional activities made it possible to identify the main causes of psycho-emotional exhaustion and the conditionality of the relationship between burnout and value-semantic (value-meaning) sphere of a person. An analysis of the burnout factors showed their regulatory influence on the implementation of professional activities and the features of the impact on the value-semantic sphere of the employee. The main directions of research into the relationship between life-purpose orientations and burnout under wartime conditions have been identified. It also has been established that emotional exhaustion acts as an intermediary between professional burnout and life-purpose orientations. It is shown that high rates of emotional exhaustion and the “core” of burnout significantly reduce the ability to control one's own life, can increase anxiety due to a sense of responsibility for one's relatives and the inability to correct the situation. The relationship between the indicators of lifepurpose orientations on all scales with burnout indicators was revealed. The distribution of subjects by gender and age made it possible to see different trends in the formation of the meaning of life and burnout, which can become the basis for further research. The features of the design of a program for the prevention and correction of professional burnout and life-purpose orientations of employees in wartime conditions are determined based on the results of the study.
