The article includes the scientific studies of researchers who explored burnout syndrome among medical professionals (including family doctors) by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory/MBI and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory/CBI. Conclusions and prospects for additional research. Based on our study, we consider it necessary to conclude the following: the majority of research on the investigation of burnout syndrome frequency in European medical professionals have been carried out in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Serbia, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, Germany and France, etc. The research conducted to determine the current state of burnout syndrome frequency in European medical professionals showed the presence of burnout syndrome in medical professionals ranging from 3,7% to 77%. According to the above analysis of the data, increased risk of burnout syndrome has such medical professionals as: oncologists, resident physicians, primary care healthcare workers, general practitioners, intensive care physicians, anesthetists, and psychotherapists.
