Abstract
The burnout syndrome is a disease of modern societies. The acquired data prove that health professionals are more prone to the disease than others. Global programs supporting health professionals with this syndrome are lacking. In most severe cases, this can result in a loss of a professional. The purpose of this study was to detect socioexistential, ethical and communication conditions for emotional burnout among healthcare professionals to develop recommendations that prevent the examined syndrome. The authors consider a health worker as a significant and continuously renewable health resource (from Public Health perspective) and as a compassionate person without professional patterns of empathy. The basic study material includes data obtained during interviewing and questioning of medical workers at the Belarusian State Medical University and Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education and content analysis of international interviews, medical chats and social networks. The principal methods include questioning, interviewing and content analysis.
