The work of a psychologist in a separate post of the search and rescue unit No. 3
A psychologist from the Russian Federation EMERCOM in the Republic of Tatarstan visited a separate post in order to conduct a monitoring psychological examination of the personnel. In order to determine their safety and increase their psychological stability, as well as their ability to recover from stress.
The diagnostic examination included several components: standardized questionnaires to identify stress levels and professional burnout, tasks to determine the level of attention and memory, as well as individual conversations.
During the survey, some more experienced employees demonstrated irritability, indicated a decrease in interest in extracurricular activities, and complained of sleep problems, which are signs of professional burnout syndrome.
For the psychologist, the data obtained became not just a report, but a signal to carry out delicate work with the staff. Practical steps were suggested: the introduction of regular short-term sleep and energy recovery programs and the repetition of self-regulation methods.
