Abstract

Since 2014, there has been an increased attention to the coverage of the problem of the combat actions impact on the personality of the serviceman.The vast majority of publications consider the destructive impact of psycho-traumatic factors of the combat situation on the personality, actualize the issues of negative mental states, psychological stability and readiness of servicemen to participate in combat actions, organization and implementation of socio-psychological community reintegration of combatants. However, in most scientific works the diagnosis of the current psychophysiological state of a combatant is given almost no due attention, and the available research is general and limited.The hypothesis of our study is the assumption that as a result of activities in extreme conditions on the personality of the serviceman is excessive stress, which leads to depletion of personality, which is reflected in reduced adaptive capacity and the choice of the dominant coping strategy.Purpose. The goal is to reveal the conditionality of the dominant coping strategy by the level of adaptive potential of the combatant.Methods. The following research methods were used to implement the tasks: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, generalization, systematization of scientific literature); empirical (observations; conversation; testing: "Adaptability" – multilevel personal questionnaire by O. Maklakov and S. Chermyanin (1993) and a Lazarus coping test adapted by L. Wesserman).Authenticity. The theoretical analysis shows the interdependence between coping strategies, adaptive potential and coping resources. Determining the level of adaptive potential and the dominant vector of coping strategy provides an opportunity to draw conclusions about the level of availability of coping resources of the individual, depleted state. Correlation analysis confirmed the dependence of the choice of the dominant coping strategy on the level of adaptation potential with increasing adaptive indicators, preference is given to positive coping strategies that envisages cognitive processing of acquired experience, re-awareness and reassessment, self-development and self-improvement. Subsequently, it proves a hypothesis that, the adaptive capacity of the individual decreases with the depletion of coping resources, which leads to self-elimination, exclusion from participation in solving problematic (contradictory) situations, which leads to excessive anxiety, nervousness and aggression of personality.Conclusions. The results prove to the greatest influence of negative stressors of the combat situation on the emotional component of the personality.At the same time, the fact that 2/3 of personnel is interested in attracting cognitive reserves for processing the acquired experience, self-development and self-improvement is positive. The mentioned above provides an opportunity to assume that the most effective mechanism for personnel recovery will be cognitive-behavioral therapy, which is aimed primarily at partnership of participants of the process with the involvement of their cognitive potential.
