Burnout or Professional Burnout Syndrome in education workers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Teaching is recognized as one of the most demanding jobs due to the vast amount of information that teachers must assimilate, analyze and transmit on a daily basis. However, beyond this intellectual challenge, one of the greatest challenges lies in managing the interpersonal relationships necessary to impart knowledge effectively. Educators are constantly under pressure because of the vital importance of education in society. Working with people, whether colleagues, students or parents, adds an additional layer of complexity and emotional responsibility. This constant interaction can lead to the development of "Burnout Syndrome", also known as Burnout, which can have devastating emotional and psychological consequences for the individual. Burnout can lead to emotional disconnection from work, and even permanent separation from work. In the most severe cases, it can trigger clinical conditions that significantly affect the teacher's health. The purpose of this article is to show the influence of this syndrome, basing the research on a literature review on this topic under a qualitative methodology.
