care service for 24 hours a day in emergency trauma aid department in one of the central public
clinics in Moscow, Russia. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was
applied to measure burnout. The physicians under study were in-depth interviewed additionally.
The questions concerned the conflicts (personal and workplace), their causes, work satisfaction,
opportunities for professional progress, ways to compensate occupational stress. The respondents’
answers were scored and correlated to each other. Collectively, the findings of this survey indicate

form of emotional exhaustion (the first stage of burnout), 70% of them are under the risk of its

prevalent among Russian physicians who provide emergency care service for 24 hours a day and
