Abstract

An analysis of the emotional burnout syndrome in paramedics shows that this phenomenon is multifactorial and is directly related to high emotional stress, physical tension, social isolation and internal demands on oneself. It is important to develop and implement support and recovery mechanisms for these professionals, including regular psychological counseling, the creation of a social support system and the prevention of overload, in order to minimize the risk of burnout and improve the quality of medical care.
