PROFESSIONAL HEALTH REDUCTION AMONG TEACHERS AT MODERN SCHOOL

Abstract

The article reveals the problem of age reduction of professional health in teachers. It is associated with determinants who cause the phenomenon of emotionally professional burnout in teachers of a different educational profile, of different ages and with different work experience.  A certain problem was studied in the plane of emotional exhaustion, which generates inconsistencies between personal capabilities, resources and professional duties.

 This reduction syndrome (decay of forces) originates with the problems of personal interaction with students and includes the genesis of a negative attitude to everything that directly or indirectly concerns pedagogical activities. To confirm the arguments, the author organized and conducted his own study of an announced problem. It was conducted in 2020, teachers of educational institutions of the city of Lutsk took part in it.  A total of 75 people and aged 30 to 60 years old.

For diagnosis, we used three techniques, they allowed to determine the levels of burnout in the following indicators: emotional depletion, depersonalization, reduction of personal achievements, personal satisfaction. According to the results, we found that a long, permanent stay under the press of negative situations generates response senses, which negatively affects the physical and mental health of the teacher.

So, starting from the age of 35-36 years and later, their progress is noticeable in our respondents. The paradoxicality of the situation is that with a small work, the conditions of pedagogical labor are already encouraged to destroy mental health. Despite the fact that every year the teacher acquires the experience of cooperation with students and should, in our opinion, to acquire skills to skillfully respond to negative challenges and cannot communicate communicative interaction towards a high level of emotional tension. The preservation of this trend encourages the growth of the levels of emotional decline, depersonalization, the fall in the level of personal pleasure and reduction of their own achievements, which are indicators of the reduction of professional health.
