Особенности психосоциальной адаптации комбатантов в условиях мирной жизни в зависимости от профиля их профессиональной деятельности

Abstract

Abstract. To identify the features of psychosocial adaptation of combatants in peacetime conditions depending on the profile of their professional activity, we surveyed 105 participants of combat actions, with an average age of 33.3 ± 3.9 years and a service experience of 4.7 ± 1.8 years. All surveyed combatants were divided into two groups based on their professional characteristics: the 1st group consisted of 50 employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, performing tasks related to maintaining order and public safety in front-line territories, and the 2nd group comprised 55 servicemen of the National Guard of Russia who directly participated in combat actions. Questionnaires and psychological tests were conducted using the Trauma Screening Questionnaire and the Buss–Durkee Hostility Inventory. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 20 software, and Pearson’s chi-squared test, Student’s t-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis were applied to determine intergroup differences. There are certain differences in the features of psychosocial adaptation between employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and servicemen of the National Guard of Russia: the use of the Internet to relieve emotional tension, reactions to alcohol, and the presence of rigidity in character. At the same time, interpersonal communication and psychoemotional state did not differ among combatants performing combat tasks and ensuring public order in front-line territories, which may indicate a similar influence of traumatic military stress on the psychological state of participants of both groups, regardless of professional activity.
