Abstract

The rapid transition to distance and blended learning in higher education, exacerbated by social crises and wartime realities in Ukraine, has significantly heightened the risk of emotional burnout among university educators. This study aimed to substantiate the theoretical foundations, identify specific professional stressors, and outline systemic strategies for overcoming and preventing emotional burnout among teachers of literature disciplines in philological faculties. A qualitative narrative and thematic analysis of pedagogical literature, theoretical sources and empirical observations from higher education institutions was conducted. Literature instructors face unique socio-emotional challenges due to the necessity of deep emotional immersion in literary texts, organizing empathetic dialogue, and managing screen-mediated communication (such as the “black screen” phenomenon). The findings revealed that burnout manifests through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment, further complicated by blurred work-life boundaries and digital fatigue. To address these issues, a multi-tiered prevention system was developed, integrating individual psychological coping techniques (empathy reflection, emotional logging, micro-pauses and digital hygiene), organizational-pedagogical approaches (workload rationalization, peer supervision and supportive institutional policies) and innovative digital technologies (structured asynchronous learning modules, centralized communication channels and digital self-care tools). Implementing these integrated strategies can foster resilience and sustain professional health among literature disciplines teachers in higher education institutions.
