Professional burnout among healthcare workers has become one of the most pressing issues in modern medicine. According to international studies, up to 60% of physicians experience symptoms of emotional exhaustion, and in wartime conditions in Ukraine, this percentage may be significantly higher. Dentists represent one of the most vulnerable professional groups: daily stress, high precision demands, emotional strain from patient interactions, power outages, and economic instability create a perfect storm for burnout.
Dental Academy is launching a large-scale scientific study aimed at examining the level of professional burnout among dentists in Ukraine. We utilize the internationally recognized Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) methodology — one of the most accurate burnout diagnostic tools that assesses three key dimensions:
✅ Personal burnout — overall physical and psychological exhaustion
✅ Work-related burnout — fatigue directly connected to professional activities
✅ Client-related burnout — emotional exhaustion from patient interactions
The survey includes 33 questions: 10 demographic items (age, experience, specialization, workload) and 23 questions based on the CBI methodology. Completion takes only 7-10 minutes, and participants receive instant results with detailed interpretation of scores for each scale (0-100 points).
Why does this matter?
- 🔬 Results will be published in international scientific journals indexed in Scopus
- 📊 Data will help develop effective burnout prevention programs

Research context:
Ukraine’s dental professionals face unprecedented challenges: ongoing military conflict, infrastructure damage, population migration, currency fluctuations, and constant stress from air raid alerts. This study aims to:
- Quantify burnout levels across different specializations
- Analyze the impact of war on professional well-being
- Identify correlations between experience, workload, and burnout severity
- Assess job satisfaction and career change intentions
- Develop evidence-based recommendations for burnout prevention
Methodology:
The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was developed by researchers at the National Institute of Occupational Health in Denmark and has been validated across multiple countries and professions. Unlike other burnout assessment tools, CBI provides nuanced measurement across three distinct domains, offering comprehensive insight into the sources and manifestations of burnout.
