The risk of burnout among social workers

Summary/Abstract: The job performed by social work professionals, including social workers, is a profession oriented on helping other people, so it can lead to both emotional and physical exhaustion, which increases the risk of burnout. Social workers, who provide a wide range of assistance, may experience some symptoms, ranging from physical fatigue through irritation and anger outbursts, to the lack of identification with the profession. Because these symptoms may announce a burnout syndrome, it is important to recognize them, to have knowledge about the sources of stress in the workplace and their effects, as well as to have knowledge about the mechanism of burnout and, what is essential, to be aware of how to prevent burnout and deal with a situation when specific symptoms occur.
