Abstract
Professional activity in the conditions of the Arctic has certain features affecting the psycho-emotional condition of a person that can lead to the development of psychosomatic disorders and physical diseases. We evaluated the level of anxiety of psychiatric nurses (N=55) in the conditions of the Arctic for the purpose of early identification of premorbid states, prevention of emergence of psycho-emotional disturbances, and psychosomatic diseases in nurses. We determined that work experience, age, and shift work influenced the level of situational and personal anxiety. It was revealed that an increase in anxiety which is a symptom of psycho-emotional tension, depended on social factors (income and marital status), shift work, and managerial responsibilities and can be aggravated both with features of professional activity, and accommodation to the conditions of the Far North.
