The article presents the results of an assessment that considers the prevalence and severity of emotional burnout among imams. The study involved 30 imams attending Advanced training courses at Russian Islamic Institute. All the participants were of a masculine gender between the ages of 32 and 55 and who have been imams for 10 up to 28 years. To identify and assess the level of a burnout syndrome in the study, we used the following questionnaires and methodologies: «Rapid assessment of burnout» by V. Capponi, T. Novak, MBI questionnaire by K. Maslach, S. Jackson in the adaptation of N.E. Vodopyanova, a methodology by V.V. Boyko for diagnosing the level of emotional burnout. Analysis of the study results revealed that the majority of imams examined revealed the signs of burnout, although not severe, closer to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization syndrome. This fact displays the need of conducting corrective and preventive measures for preventing the further development of the syndrome.
