Burnout and Stress in the Context of Professional Health in Military Personnel

The paper presents and discusses outcomes of a study on the social psychological correlates of professional health in armed forces personnel. The study revealed corre- lations between indicators of mental strain (burnout and stress symptoms), on the one hand, and personality traits and social demographical status of the subjects, on the other hand. The paper describes various approaches to the study of professional health, focuses on the concept of professional health itself, and shows how burnout and stress are related to job performance in individuals. The levels of burnout in the subjects were assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), while the general level of distress was measured with the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. Personality traits of the subjects were assessed with a number of psychological questionnaires.
