Interconnection of Emotional Intelligence and Mental Burnout of Medicine Volunteers in the Conditions of Professionally Oriented Volunteering Activities
Abstract
State support, the allocation of grant funds, legalizing the concept of volunteering, increase the number of volunteers actualize exploratory activity in the study of this phenomenon. The development of professionally oriented volunteer activities helps in the professional development of the individual. However, there are various manifestations of mental burnout, which are reflected on the emotional level. The study of the emotional intelligence of volunteers reveals the possibilities of considering it as a factor in the onset of mental burnout and a resource for overcoming it.
Thus, the study of the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental burnout of medical volunteers in a professionally oriented volunteer activity is the aim of the study.
88 medical volunteers aged 18 to 23 years, studying at the Kursk State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, took part in it. Observation and conversation, as well as standardized psychodiagnostic research methods "Professional burnout" (PV) (Russian version of N. Vodopyanov, E. Starchenkov) and "Emotional intelligence Emin" (D.V. Lyusin) were used to collect data. The processing of the results was carried out using the methods of descriptive statistics, comparative (nonparametric H-Kruskal-Wallis test) and correlation types of analysis. Significant and highly significant correlations between indicators of emotional intelligence and mental burnout have been proven empirically. The average values on the scales included in the interpersonal emotional intelligence indicate the empathic nature of the volunteers, their understanding of the emotions of their wards and the knowledge of how to change the mood background if necessary. The implementation of volunteer activities implies control over emotions, their understanding and timely elaboration in order not to harm the beneficiaries, which helps to find contact and build adequate relationships. At the same time, this can contribute to excessive control and accumulation of emotions, and, ultimately, to their uncontrolled manifestation and mental burnout.
