“…Although the number of such studies is increasing, there is still a lack of research focusing on specialists of social welfare professions (social pedagogues, social workers). More often research is conducted on the spread of stress in the communities of teachers (Bulotaitė & Lepeškienė, 2006;Bubelienė & Merkys, 2012), officials (Bandzevičienė et al, 2010;Norkus et al, 2014), nurses (Galdikienė, 2007;Burgess et al, 2010;Istomina et al, 2011;Laranjeira, 2011) and other professions. Studies involving specialists of social welfare professions are more often oriented to the assessment of occupational aspects of their life quality (Bubnys & Petrošiūtė, 2008), peculiarities of experienced anxiety (Alifanovienė & Vaitkevičienė, 2007;Alifanovienė, Vaitkevičienė, & Lučinskaitė, 2012), causes of occupational fatigue (Leliūgienė, Rupšienė, & Baušytė, 2003), prerequisites for coping with the burnout syndrome and its prevention (Vaicekauskienė, 2014).…”
