AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN AGED 40-60 YEARS IN USING THE POTENTIAL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A TOOL FOR MAINTAINING HEALTH AND CAREER LONGEVITY (ACCORDING TO SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEYS)

The research purpose is to study: a) awareness of women aged 40-60 years of the potential of physical activity in health improvement and prevention of occupational burnout, b) physical activity of this category of women.

Methods and organization of the research. To achieve the goal of the study, we carried out a questionnaire survey of women representing professions of the "man-to-man" type; the study involved 206 women aged 40 to 60 years. We developed a questionnaire composed of two sections. The questionnaire included 33 open-ended, close-ended and semi-closed questions, and 201 sub-questions. The first section of the questionnaire based on Maslach’s and Jackson’s three dimensions of burnout, was aimed at identifying occupational burnout among respondents. The second section was aimed at determining women's awareness of the potential of physical activity as a tool for maintaining health and career longevity. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the SPSS 20 program. We used chi-square test (χ2), Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, Chaddock's scale, Mann-Whitney test. If the respondents did not give an answer to the proposed question, the percentage was calculated not from the total number of interviewees, but from the number of respondents.

Results and discussion. A questionnaire survey of women aged 40-60 years showed a high level of emotional burnout and depersonalization of self-perception among the majority of the surveyed respondents. At the same time, the study has revealed that the level of emotional burnout and depersonalization of the self-perception correlates with age, experience and physical activity level. We have found that only 43% of respondents are engaged in physical activity, while 63% of respondents are ready to be involved in physical activity in order to prolong career longevity, using swimming, functional training and yoga. One third of respondents have low opinion of the potential of physical activity in extending career longevity.

Conclusion. Women aged 40-60 years are characterized by high occupational burnout, which can be the result of long-term professional activity in the "man-to-man" area, depletion of body resources. At the same time, the potential of physical activity in maintaining health and career longevity of the studied category of women is underutilized.
