Features of frequency indices of the heart rate of teachers of yugra depending on the expressiveness of symptoms of the emotional burnout “resistance” phase

Abstract

The author has studied the interrelation of frequency characteristics of teachers’ heart rate variability and the degree of expressiveness of symptoms of the “resistance” phase of the emotional burnout syndrome. It was discovered that symptoms of the “resistance” phase among the examined teachers are the most significant. The author has found out that absolute values of frequency characteristics are 1,5–3 times higher than standard values, that is connected with adaptive mechanisms of an organism when living in the territory of Yugra. Absolute values of frequency indices of HF, LF, VLF and LF/HF at the stage of “maturity” of each symptom of the “resistance” phase are higher than similar indices at the stage of “immaturity”. It is especially expressed in LF/HF index, and these distinctions are reliably significant for each symptom (when р < 0,01 and р < 0,05 depending on a symptom). Thus, the index of LF/HF can be considered as a marker for assessing the development of symptoms of the “resistance” phase.
