Burnout. So psychiatrists and psychologists call it. Basically defined as the mental illness suffered by an individual who is up to Compañon of the profession that professes. Thus defined, it is conceivable that any god who work nine to five is accused of having a burn out thereof. If we are more judicious definitions, we can see that the thing goes to greater and includes three psycho-physical dimensions: feeling of not being able to offer more of yourself, suspicion / skepticism toward work and colleagues, and feeling of inefficiency and not be developed work properly.
Could I now plan to carry out a statistic about the spread of this disease among university faculty, and so we got more of a surprise. Instead, I made a quick and simple experiment, and I typed into Google that "faculty burnout." Overall, 4859 potential links where it is subject, of which at least 50-60% is meaningless garbage. Despite that, the rest are a negligible amount to at least allow us to deduce that the problem exists and its size is beyond the character of mere anecdote. Some figure the prevalence among university faculty around 40% -50%, which is an outrage.
might wonder now what we actually have reason to be burned? For as in pharmacy, there will be everything. Consider as a case of analysis of the teaching staff and therefore stable job with life, which basically does what you want, do not have to answer too much to anyone, and that its work program to their own devices. His only known liabilities are providing eight hours of class per week, and fulfill their hours of attention to students. In this light, it is difficult to find reason to be burned, in the sense of the syndrome or the more standard to which I referred at the beginning: Compañon be up to everything and everyone. Ergo some burning, to have any. I
psychiatrist, the truth, I'm sorry. But otherwise I'm in college to the spot. Really. Fortunately, I have wanted to laugh as always, a spree as usual and my attitude to life is more or less the same as ever.
But friends, the University and everything that surrounds me is enough of a time now. Honestly. If you think of it, this evil that affects many of us is shaped by a number of contributing factors such as: the lack of social recognition that we, the damned the Bologna process, the general attitude of our students, which makes us consider what Heck we do while we kind of witch hunt is started by the hand of rating agencies in their different facets, and also hand quality units and university advocates the transformation of every activity we do in a will necessarily be competitive, that keeps us from giving priority to reflect the result, the service model of patronage in which the university is being transformed, the impudence and shamelessness of those who run the roost ... and a thousand more.
All this and much more likely to deflate the desire, at least to me. You become a cyclothymic body, which passes mental periods of saturation with the university with others where ilusionarte still get something. Flat times, of course, are becoming longer. If one is analyzed in terms of three dimensions that characterize the syndrome of burnout, because man is not that one can not offer more, is that it gives you a real desire to do so, looking for what works and how staff thrives offering far less, if it raised the suspicion / skepticism toward peers, and you will be smiling from ear to ear ... and me too. "Suspicion / Skepticism towards that paragon of human virtues and professionals who are our beloved companions? Juas. As for the inefficiency in the work you do, what can I say, if we believe the polls one to be efficient and all. But is that polls are a lie. I do feel ineffective, because they get what I want, which is that my students learn a certain level of performance. Of course, I am aware of being responsible for such inefficiency in a not very large. Earlier stages of education, the model of access to university degrees and now Bologna, I believe, take the lion's share. Still, this question has bothered me, as I see as apathy, laziness, apathy and other apocalyptic horsemen ride through the classroom.
The standard treatment for those with diagnosed disease, go through the cognitive-behavioral therapy; clear that psychologists me strike me as a storyteller. I think again that a good dose of skepticism and passivity can get to work miracles, without altering the strict obligations of one. I will tell you.
