Tempo życia, niestabilność ekonomiczna oraz konieczność dostosowania się do coraz wyższych wymagań społeczno-zawodowych to obecnie najczęstsze źródła stresów, które niosą ze sobą wiele obciążeń i zagrożeń dla zdrowia człowieka.

Wypalenie zawodowe pojawia się u przedstawicieli różnych zawodów, a szczególnie dotyczy tych osób, które wykonują pracę polegającą na niesieniu pomocy innym (lekarze, pielęgniarki, nauczyciele, wychowawcy, opiekunowie społeczni, policjanci, kuratorzy).

One of the significant predispositions of the teacher is the ability to cope with emotions, which is recognized as emotional intelligence. The study was conducted among the students of the Academy of Physical Education in Wroclaw (263 individuals). In a group of students some were selected who declared their intention to work as teachers (95 people); the remaining students were the control group. According to the collected data, emotional intelligence of most of the students is average, and the belief concerning the level of this competence is overestimated in many cases. This result is particularly unsatisfactory for those associating their future with the teaching profession, for they are expected to have better interpersonal skills.
