Botiakova V. Cardiovascular risk factors in family doctors with burnout syndrome.

Noncommunicable diseases (hereinafter - NCDs) cause 41 million deaths each year, that are 74% of all deaths worldwide, including 17 million deaths from NCDs each year under the age of 70 (WHO, 2022). Among all NCD deaths, 77% occur in low- & middle-income countries, that makes the level of cardiovascular diseases’ death the highest among NCDs (17.9 million deaths annually (WHO, 2022). The modification of cardiovascular risk factors makes it possible to significantly reduce cardiovascular morbidity, as well as mortality in persons with already diagnosed and/or undetected CVDs (Katerenchuk, I.P., Tsyganenko, I.V., 2017). It should be mentioned, that scientists also provide confirmation of the existence of a relationship between burnout syndrome and sleep disorders, impaired immune function, systemic inflammation, psychosomatic diseases, mental adaptation disorders, severe consequences for cardiovascular diseases, and unhealthy lifestyles, that indicate a large-scale impact of burnout syndrome on a person's health (Ivanchuk, A.O. et al., 2020; Melamed, S. et al., 2006; Prib, H. et al., 2019). According to the ICD-11, burnout syndrome (code – QD85) is interpreted as a syndrome conceptualized as the result of exposure to chronic stress at the workplace, with which the individual could not successfully cope, and is characterized by 3 signs: a) feeling of loss of energy or exhaustion; b) increased mental distancing in relation to work or an existing feeling of negativism or even cynicism in relation to work; c) a sense of inefficiency and a lack of accomplishment (ICD-11, 2019). The purpose of the study was to improve preventive measures of burnout syndrome by modification of lifestyle and optimization of working conditions based on the study of risk factors of burnout syndrome development in family doctors.
