Sometimes a person who has been enthusiastic and motivated suddenly becomes lethargic and feels extremely tired.

In English, it is also called burnout in the sense of being burned out or exhausted, but as Corona 19 has continued for more than a year, more and more people are suffering from such mental exhaustion in our society.



Reporter Ahn Seo-hyun will tell you about the situation and measures.

Burnout at the COVID-19 treatment site.



The medical staff was scarce, and the number of patients continued to increase and worsened.



[Nurse Jinseon Kim/Daegu medical service in March last year: 6 nurses had to see more than 160 patients.

But the nurse went back in three shifts...

[Chahyeonju Nurse / severe patient transport services responsible: wearing four kinds of protective equipment, and ambulance'll disinfect and, again, there is another way when Corona dispatch Then undercoating equipment disinfection, think continually accumulate things that fatigue or this]



But the psychological Burnout, a phenomenon of exhaustion, is spreading to the general public as well as medical staff.



This is because the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak has blurred the lines between work and home, and work and rest, and this is because tensions are increasing around the clock.



This is Lee Hyun-hee, who has been working from home for 10 months.



[Lee Hyun-hee/Office worker: First of all, I don't feel like'going to work, going home'.

There seems to be something called the strange power that space gives.]



As I worked from home where the concept of leaving work was ambiguous, both work and breaks became incomplete, such as receiving work messages after work.



[Lee Hyun-hee/Office worker: When I eat, I come back here and sit down.

Even if I have to take a break, the space is still the same, so I don’t feel like I’m taking a break.] It is the same in



other countries.



According to a Microsoft survey, one-third of employees who have worked from home for six months after the coronavirus said they were mentally exhausted as the boundaries between work and daily life broke down.



The situation is no different for housewives whose home is the workplace.



As children's school and husband's jobs all came into the home, the housewife's lifestyle completely collapsed.



At 10 o'clock in the morning, the mother can't relax while her husband and her two children each work and study.



At the gesture of calling for her mother, she stopped working in the kitchen and was suddenly called and pasted on paper.



[Gayuul, why?]



Even while washing the dishes

to find the first school supplies.



[Seoyul!

You can't go to Dad

dining business has also doubled.

eat quickly and prepare for class]



10 minutes later, the third table is set up in time for the second kindergarten.



[Seo Na-hee/Housewife: Ah!

Our kids are really the same as usual, even if they have a camera...

Seoyul-ah!]



As the daily life without time to breathe is getting longer, we don't know when the limit will come.



[Housewife / Elementary 3, Elementary 6 Parents: Did you do it?

Didn't you?

Did you do this?

Did you do that?

And then night comes, feeding.

That's why'burnout' can't come.]



[Housewife/Sec 4·S 6 Parents: There is no deadline for getting better, becoming free and indolent.

I can't do anything myself.

Because I can't get out of this frame...

[Housewife/Parents of 2nd elementary and 2nd middle school: I am saddest that the power to protect myself is becoming increasingly exhausted."

At some point,'What am I?

Who am I filling from?'

(I think so)]



[Kim Ji-yong/psychiatrist: All interpersonal relationships require adequate distance, but the current social distancing and telecommuting situations change the distance between these interpersonal relationships to be eliminated at all or become too close together. I think it wasn't.]



Experts agree that in order to minimize the burnout phenomenon, it is necessary to clearly share the roles between the family through conversation and to secure breaks and working hours alternately.]
