САМОЗДІЙСНЕННЯ ФАХІВЦІВ РІЗНИХ ПРОФЕСІЙНИХ ГРУП ТА ПРОФЕСІЙ

В статті аналізуються результати емпіричних  досліджень, в яких взяли участь фахівці 10 професій. Встановлена загальна тенденція до перевищення рівня внутрішньопрофесійного самоздійснення над зовнішньопрофесійним. Найбільш вираженою вона є у програмістів та системних адміністраторів, лікарів, вихователі дитячих садків та вчителів середніх шкіл; найменш вираженою – у топ-менеджерів комерційних організацій. Найвищий загальний рівень професійного самоздійснення мають програмісти/системні адміністратори й топ-менеджери комерційних організацій. Далі за цим рівнем йдуть вчителі середніх шкіл та лікарі. Програмісти/системні адміністратори мають найвищі показники за всіма 5 ознаками внутрішньопрофесійного самоздійснення. Серед представників інших професій, потреба у професійному вдосконаленні та переважаюче задоволен­ня власними професійни­ми досягненнями найбільш вираженою є в топ-менеджерів комерційних організацій. Наявність проекту власно­го професійного розвитку, постійна постановка нових професійних цілей – у лікарів. Формування власного "життєво-професійного простору" найбільш виражене в топ-менеджерів комерційних організацій та вчителів середніх шкіл. Програмісти/системні адміністратори мають найвищі показники лише за двома із п'яти ознак зовнішньопрофесійного самоздійснення (досягнення поставлених професійних цілей та визнання досягнень фа­хі­вця професійним співтовариством), та й то лише незначно перевищивши показники топ-менеджерів комерційних організацій. Останні мають суттєво вищі показники за представників інших професій за трьома ознаками, що залишилися

Examen de los cambios en el estado psicológico de los militares durante el despliegue de larga duración en la zona militar

Examining military personnel’s psychological states is an effective way to prevent negative mental health consequences during their deployment in a war zone. The present study identifies changes in the psychological states of military personnel (n = 192) during a 6-month deployment in a war zone in eastern Ukraine. The results confirmed both of our proposed hypotheses. First, with regard to time limits on military personnel’s deployment on the front lines in eastern Ukraine on the basis of examined psychological states, the estimated recommended deployment duration was three months. Second, we found significant differences in the dynamics of the psychological states of service members with versus without previous deployment experience. The results also substantiate that military personnel’s psychological states should be monitored during deployment in order to prevent negative mental health consequences and to ensure that military units successfully accomplish their tasks.Una de las formas más eficaces para prevenir las consecuencias negativas del despliegue en la zona militar para la salud mental de los militares es diagnosticar su estado psicológico. En el presente estudio se determinan las particularidades de los cambios en el estado psicológico de los militares (n = 192) durante el despliegue de seis meses en la zona militar en el este de Ucrania. Los resultados obtenidos confirmaron ambas hipótesis formuladas: en cuanto a la posibilidad de determinar, sobre la base del diagnóstico del estado psicológico, el plazo recomendado para el despliegue de los militares en la línea de demarcación en el este de Ucrania, que es de tres meses. Así como también sobre las posibles diferencias significativas en la dinámica del estado psicológico de los militares que tienen y no tienen experiencia en el despliegue. Asimismo, se argumenta la necesidad de monitorear el estado psicológico de los militares durante el despliegue con el propósito de prevenir oportunamente las consecuencias negativas para su salud mental y para la ejecución exitosa de las tareas de la subunidad militar

Personal characteristics supporting Paralympic athletes’ self-realization in sports

The purpose of this study was to investigate the personal characteristics supporting Paralympic athletes’ self-realization in sports. The study involved 106 members of the Paralympic and Deaflympic teams of Ukraine (16-53 year-old, the average age of 28.3 ± 7.2 years; 84 men with the average age of 27.7 ± 6.7 years and 22 women with the average age 30.3 ± 8.3 years) in different sports (football, fencing, power-lifting, sitting volleyball, judo, canoeing in pairs, swimming). It is determined that the most important personal factor supporting Paralympic athletes’ self-realization in sports is their psychological hardiness. Their self-efficacy, capacity for self-organization of their activities and psychological well-being can also be considered as significant personal characteristic necessary for their self-realization in sports

Defining conceptual boundaries of moral injury and post-traumatic stress disorder in military population: A systematic review

Moral injury is one of the main emotional distress in military personnel. Findings suggest that in wartime there are an endless number of potentially morally injurious events, which determine maladaptive cognitions, moral emotions of guilt and shame, and inefficient behaviour. Notwithstanding the strong association between moral injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) recognized in the number of studies, there is still a gap of accurate data aligned with identifying the differences between moral injury and PTSD in terms of treatment and healing. This study aims to establish conceptual boundaries of moral injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and systematically review the empirical literature on them in military personnel. Specifically, we explored and summarized co-occurrence of moral injury and PTSD in military personnel and evaluated the association between moral injury and PTSD, as well with other emotional distress. An intensive bibliography search screening, extraction and report focusing in moral injury and PTSD was conducted following the PRISMA recommendations. The results indicate that the key aspects of comparison of moral injury and PTSD include definition and symptomology, measurement, neural underpinning, and treatment. Considering the consequences of poor social well-being, emotional sufferings and inefficient behavioral patterns, treatments focusing on moral injury separately from PTSD-focused models are much needed.   Acknowledgements This study is a part of the Moral Injury and Healing of Combatants: Neuropsychological Correlates and Psychological Interventions project funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (2022-2023).

Characteristic Impacts of Combat Stressors on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Ukrainian Military Personnel Who Participated in the Armed Conflict in Eastern Ukraine

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is a leading health problem among military personnel involved in armed conflicts. The current study identified and examined the influence of combat stressors leading to the development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Ukrainian military personnel (N= 188) who participated in the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine for a period of 4 to 16 months. The results showed that the leading combat stressors regarding Ukrainian service members’ predisposition to PTSD were as follows: “witnessing someone get hit by incoming or outgoing rounds”; “being surrounded by the enemy”; ”danger of being injured or killed, ambushed, in other very dangerous situations”; “corpses or blood”; “smells of gases, corpses, etc.”; “stressors of family life”; “fear of a respondent’s own death”; “inability to change a respondent’s own living conditions”; “ruined buildings, machinery, structures, landscape”; “physical killing of an enemy”; “intense interpersonal conflicts”; “monotony of the surrounding conditions”; “stressors of a moral and ethical nature”; “dissatisfied biological and social needs”; and “long-term loads that cause fatigue.” This study found a significant difference between Ukrainian military personnel’s subjective perception of the power of a combat stressor and its real ability to cause Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. Those stressors that were subjectively evaluated by military personnel as more significant did not increase Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. These results may be useful for the prevention and treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in military personnel involved in armed conflict

The influence of sports on paralympic athletes' personal development

One of the most effective ways of integrating people with disabilities into society and ensuring their comprehensive personal development is to engage people with disabilities into Paralympic Games. Such engagement creates the necessary conditions to socialize people with disabilities, to adapt their physical and mental states to existing living conditions, to ease negative manifestations of their psycho-emotional states, to promote their self-realization. The article presents the results of the research determining the impact of sports on Paralympic athletes’ personal development. The comparison of the indicators of psychological well-being and hardiness of Paralympic athletes with normative values, the indicators shown by students without disabilities and students with disabilities has confirmed proven clear positive influence of sports on Paralympic athletes’ personal development. In particular, Paralympic athletes achieve an optimal level of psychological well-being and a significant increase in all psychological hardiness components
