[The Impact of Labor Conditions on Health Conditions of Traumatologists of Emergency Service].

The organization of emergency medical care varies from one country to another. However, the basic requirements applied to specialists in case of emergency curative diagnostic measures are common: fast feedback, professionalism, emotional stability. Therefore, the key characteristic of emergency medicine is to instantly react twenty-four hours per day. The medical workers of considered category are in condition of increased physical and mental loading. According the WHO concept, a negative impact of working environment is a key factor of development of professional burn-out syndrome. Despite that in publications there are enough data concerning prevalence of this syndrome among physicians, there is no common approach to establishment of causes of its development. The sociological survey was carried out using the technique of the Maslach's Burnout Inventory questionnaire concerning traumatologists of emergency medical care in profile departments of metropolitan medical organizations. It is established that emergency as a special operating mode is a key factor in development of professional burn-out syndrome. Its development results in both deterioration of mental and physical health of medical workers of the given category and negative impact on efficiency of their work.
