RAPID ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF WORKERS OF HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIES ACCORDING TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

Abstract

Relevance. Improving the medico psycho physiological support of professional activity of employees of hazardous industries is associated, in particular, with the development of techniques for rapid assessment of psychophysiological adaptation to significantly reduce examination time. For this, a questionnaire of multiple intelligence by G. Gardner (modified by V.A. Minkin and Ya.N. Nikolaenko) can be used within the VibraMI program. The Vibra program makes it possible to reduce the testing time to only 7–10 minutes vs 1.5–2.0 hours as in conventional examination. Up to date, there are no quantitative criteria for rapid assessment of psychophysiological adaptation by multiple intelligence parameters.Intention. To develop criteria for rapid assessment of psychophysiological adaptation of hazardous industry workers based on the characteristics of multiple intelligence.Methodology. The object of the study was the psychophysiological adaptation of workers at ”Elektrokhimpribor” plant at the stage of periodic medical examination. An integrated psychophysiological study was carried out with the use of specified techniques and methods for assessing multiple intelligence to estimate conscious and unconscious reactions of the participants when answering questions. assess the relationship between the presence/absence of psychophysiological maladjustment and characteristics of multiple intelligence.Results and analysis. According to the results of complex experimental studies, the leading qualities of the workers of the main production of the plant were identified: natural, motor and interpersonal intelligence. The greatest differences between workers with the absence and presence of psychophysiological maladjustment are observed in motor intelligence. It is demonstrated that unconscious manifestations are associated with sincerity of responses and their compliance with internal guidelines. An integral indicator of psychophysiological adaptation disorders is based on conscious and unconscious reactions, and a nomogram of probability of these disorders was developed. Proposed criteria for the rapid assessment reduce duration of psychophysiological examination to 7–10 minutes.Conclusion. The developed criteria of rapid assessment can be used to select professionals for important assignments, to conduct periodic psychophysiological examinations, to evaluate psychophysiological “price” of activities in case of emergencies and elimination of their consequences. This will preserve the professional health of workers in hazardous industries and minimize human related risk factors.
