Occupational stress is psychological stress related to one's job. Occupational stress often stems from pressures that do not align with a person's knowledge, skills, or expectations. Job stress can increase when workloads are excessive or too low. Occupational stress can occur when workers do not feel supported by supervisors or coworkers, feel as if they have little control over work processes, or find that their efforts on the job are incommensurate with the job's rewards.

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics

Burnout syndrome - definition and characteristics  

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_0_0

Most of us have heard of burnout or experienced it, but they didn't know it was that or just thought of&nbsp; it as serious fatigue. Given how high workplace stress levels have been over the past few years, it would be surprising that someone hasn't felt "burned out." This set of behavioral characteristics and symptoms is rooted in our cultural consciousness and can even define an entire generation.

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_0_1

The condition of "burnout" is described as "a syndrome that is the result of chronic stress in the workplace," according to the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). &nbsp;<a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/28-05-2019-burn-out-an-occupational-phenomenon-international-classification" target="_blank" data-ref="404World Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationYouTubeTwitterFacebookInstagramLinkedInSnapchatPinterest" rel="noopener">[ref. 1]</a>&nbsp; It is important to clarify the specificities of the condition described in the definition, which relates only to events in a professional context, but not to other areas of life.

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_0_2

Burnout syndrome is defined in ICD-11 as follows:

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_0_3

'Burnout is a syndrome distinct from chronic stress in the workplace that has not been successfully managed. Meets three main characteristics:

Burnout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_0_4

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Feeling of energy depletion or exhaustion;</li></ul><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Increased mental alienation from a person's work, or feelings of negativity or cynicism associated with his work;</li></ul><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reduced professional efficacy (effectiveness).</li></ul>In a press release, the WHO announced that Burnout syndrome will be included in a chapter focusing on 'Factors influencing health status or contact with health services'. The international organization notes that the syndrome is not included as a medical condition, but rather as a reason for people to seek help for their mental health.

Why it takes so long to identify this condition

Why-it-takes-so-long-to-identify-this-condition_1_0

There are several possible reasons for this time delay. A medical report on the subject dates back to 1974, when psychologist Herbert Freudenberger used the term to describe the symptoms of "physical or mental collapse caused by exhaustion or stress." A slightly older use of the term to describe similar symptoms appeared in a book in 1961. Despite this evidence that the idea had been circulating for some time, twenty years later a test was created that could determine if someone was suffering from burnout. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277816643_The_Maslach_Burnout_Inventory_Manual" target="_blank" data-ref="Please Wait... | Cloudflare" rel="noopener">[ref. 2]</a> &nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4911781/" target="_blank" data-ref="Page not available - PMCTwitterFacebookLinkedInGitHubSM-TwitterSM-FacebookSM-Youtube" rel="noopener">[ref. 3]</a>&nbsp; And over thirty more years passed until 2019, when "burnout syndrome" officially finds a place in the tenth edition of the ICD.

Boreout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics

Boreout syndrome - definition and characteristics

Boreout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_2_0

Looking at the professional burnout, which is associated with long working hours, poor work-life balance and the inability to rest, "boreout" is formed when we are bored with our work to such an extent that we consider it completely meaningless. If someone has to deal with this syndrome, tasks seem devoid of value and meaning, has no motivation for anything and nothing holds back his attention.

Boreout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_2_1

This less well-known syndrome doesn't get as much attention as it should, but experts say this phenomenon - which happens in different industries - can lead to some of the same health problems for workers. It's also bad for companies because a workforce with borout syndrome can lead to high staff turnover and work process problems. Despite the abundance of learning, work and entertainment opportunities, a number of factors can cause "boreout," including working in a demoralizing physical environment, or feeling underdeveloped for an extended period. If we know what "boreout" syndrome is, and if we are able to identify it, it can help a lot to deal with it.

Boreout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_2_2

Boreout-syndrome---definition-and-characteristics_2_3

There are also actions that workers and companies can take to alleviate it. And experts suggest that if we are part of an evolving new world of work that prioritises the well-being of workers and provides an environment for development, "boreout" could be analysed and prevented, significantly limiting the damage to people and businesses.

The state of professional burnout, documented in medical literature as early as the 1970s, is well known and has affected millions of people around the world. Only in 2019 does the World Health Organization reflect this syndrome in its international classification of diseases. Another important syndrome to pay more attention to is boreout syndrome. It increases the likelihood of employee turnover and early retirement, poor self-esteem, poor health and stress.

"Burnout syndrome" is an official medical diagnosis

There is no unambiguous answer, because with some procedures it is best not to do experiments at home, but to turn to a professional. On the other hand, there are situations that we better take care of out hair and skin using home beauty treatments.

Hairdressing-and-mathematics_0_0

Let us not underestimate the work of the hairdresser. What happens while you are in the beauty salon is actually an individual geometric analysis and a haircut in order to change the parameters of the figure. Each strand is lifted at a certain angle relative to the skull, so that after the haircut it falls in the desired way.

Hairdressing-and-mathematics_0_1

In one of the interviews of the mathematical online magazine of the University of Cambrich, it is precisely about this - the relationship between mathematics and hairdressing. In the interview, hair salon owner Nikki Dunbavin says: " Idefinitely use maths more than I everthought I'd have to. To get exactly the right hair color for a client, I need to do it by mixing base colors, which is why I calculate individual ratios. For haircuts, I appreciate centimeters and angles to get the result they want" [<a href="https://www.cambridgemaths.org/blogs/intersections-mathematics-and-the-hairdresser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref. 1</a>].

Chemical peeling is a classic, proven method, but it is also considered one of the most aggressive approaches to dealing with facial imperfections. It is often associated with pain and fear of burning because it hides its risks. Yes, in extremely rare cases they would be life-threatening and if not performed by a professional, complications occur more<a href="https://www.bioseek.eu/en/eng/research/pubmed/Advances_in_chemical_peeling_9001857" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> often in <a href="https://www.bioseek.eu/en/eng/research/pubmed/Complications_of_chemical_peeling_2674236" target="_blank" rel="noopener">darker</a> skin types and range from mildirritations to uneven pigmentation and permanent scarring [<a href="https://www.bioseek.eu/en/eng/research/pubmed_citation/Complications_of_medium_depth_and_deep_chemical_peels_23378707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref. 3</a>].

In recent years, preparations have been developed to minimize the risk to the skin, and we can be misled that the procedure is also easy to apply at home. Not. In order for the "healing injury" to be controlled, a number of steps in the analysis of the skin and the conduct of the procedure itself must be strictly observed. For this - chemical peeling is not something with which we can compromise and make at home with a preparation bought even from the pharmacy. Here we necessarily need the analysis and control of a dermatologist.

Let's not put under one denominator all beauty salons, but since the most common are places for manicures and hair salons, we will discuss them. They are exposed to harmful chemicals that are highly irritating and can lead to allergic reactions.

Main-drawback---harmful-chemicals-in-beauty-studios_1_2

A 2011 study looked at the risks posed by the hairdressing profession. Allergens are kept with low concentration, but on the other end it is constant and the variety of allergens grows. The most common allergens are: persulfates, destroying melanin in the hair, necessary to achieve a lighter color, as well as naraphenylenediamine and latex. Some of the symptoms may occur already during training in a hairdresser's school. It is interesting to note that there are people who are more susceptible to the appearance of a professional allergy of this kind, some develop professional asthma and rhinitis. Science has been triggered in the development of effective prevention methods [<a href="https://www.bioseek.eu/en/eng/research/pubmed/Etiology_determinants_diagnostics_and_prophylaxis_of_occupational_allergic_respiratory_diseases_in_hairdressers_22312965" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref. 5</a>].

If you do not have a skin problem that requires special dermatological procedures, there is nothing wrong with making homemade face masks. One of the advantages in this case is the very convenience of being able to do at any time at home. On the Internet there are a variety of recipes for masks that can be experimented with, but I would recommend lighter masks for the purpose of skin maintenance. It is nice to observe the seasonal features, of course. For example, in the dry season, masks are nice to be more hydrating for both skin and hair. Natural hydrating masks for summer would contain yogurt, avocado and others [ref. 6].

Above, we looked at the problem of chemicals in beauty salons and their harm. Very often, not only the nail polish remover, but also the nail polish itself contain formaldehyde ( formaldehyde), formalin, which is known for being a carcinogen. Unfortunately, especially the manicurists themselves, there is often no ventilation provided. In many cases, this is accompanied by irritation of the eyes and nasal cavity. Yes, it's a good advantage to keep your manicure at home, and best in a ventilated place (terrace or window) [ref. 7].

As we mentioned from the beginning - let's not underestimate the hairdresser. Besides applying mathematical knowledge during the haircut and drawing the paint mixture, this person also has experience. It matters not only if you need another pair of hands to paint the back of the back of the head. Experience with certain brands and how they affect the type of hair is important. Naturally, no one will stop you from painting at home, but if you have no experience and have the opportunity, do it with a specialist.

Perhaps one of the most discussed conditions affecting the modern man is the so-called "burnout".&nbsp;And that's exactly what it means - physical, mental and emotional exhaustion to the limit caused by too much stress in the workplace. Let's look at what bernaut is due to, whether it is defined as a disease, what science thinks of it, and most importantly - how to recognize its signs and how to deal with it if it happens to you.

It is also stressed that this condition is achieved as a result of excessive stress in the workplace and should not be used for other aspects of life.

The factors in the working environment that can cause us stress are many. Whether it's in unhealthy collegiate relationships or trying to do the job for others by spending countless hours in the office, it's very important to identify exactly what makes us feel dissatisfied and less motivated. If we know the exact cause, it will be much easier to approach it in the right way to eliminate it.
