FEATURES OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VITALITY AND EMOTIONAL BURNOUT OF EMPLOYEES OF REHABILITATION CENTERS WITH DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

This article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying the relationship between resilience and emotional burnout in rehabilitation center employees with varying lengths of service. The study surveyed 1,664 rehabilitation specialists for people with disabilities, divided into four groups of 416 respondents with professional experience ranging from 1 to 5 years, 6 to 15 years, 16 to 25 years, and over 25 years. The study utilized methods developed by E.A. Rylskaya, A.A. Nesterova, and A.V. Makhnach to study resilience as a personality trait, as well as V.V. Boyko's method, adapted by E. Ilyin, for assessing the level of emotional burnout. It was found that the dynamics of resilience among rehabilitation center employees do not follow a linear positive trend; with professional experience, some indicators increase, while others decrease. Resilience has a negative correlation with emotional burnout, but the nature of these relationships varies across different periods of rehabilitation center employee professional development. While a lack of adaptive abilities during the period of adaptation to professional activity can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction with one's own self; a lack of meaning in life can lead to a feeling of being trapped; an external locus of control can lead to a reduction in one's achievements; and low activity can lead to emotional detachment, during the period of professional mastery, not only negative but also positive relationships are observed between burnout symptoms and indicators of resilience, and its regulatory role is diminished. It is concluded that the obtained empirical data must be taken into account when developing and implementing preventive programs aimed at blocking the process of destructive professional development in rehabilitation center employees.
