The psychological safety of specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions

The aim. To provide an analysis of the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to addressing the issue of psychological safety for specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions.
 Materials and methods. The research employed the bibliographic method, method of analysis, and synthesis of scientific materials from academic sources.
 Results and discussion. A detailed analysis of several scientific studies revealed that among the main prerequisites for the emergence of emotional burnout in helping professionals, two directions are traditionally identified: the characteristics of professional activities and the psychological characteristics of the specialist.
 In the context of the question about the psychological changes that can occur in professionals during their professional activities, we have examined the phenomenon of secondary trauma or secondary traumatic stress, which refers to the trauma experienced by a professional while providing psychological assistance. In the literature on crisis psychology, the phenomenon of burnout is often equated with the phenomenon of secondary trauma due to the following reasons: 1) both states tend to accumulate over time, and 2) they have similar consequences (insomnia, depressed mood, impaired communication with social environment and family).However, a detailed analysis of these phenomena indicates the presence of differences, primarily in the characteristics of their emergence.
 Conclusion. 
 The main safety rules for assisting specialists, compliance with which is necessary to maintain their professional well-being, include: awareness of one's abilities and the limits of one's competence;having an understanding of one's vulnerabilities and assessing one's capabilities and risks when working with cases that involve heightened emotional sensitivity; tracking changes in one's emotional and physical state, as well as changes in behavior; seeking help from superiors when needed;when dealing with challenging crisis events and their aftermath, working better in pairs with colleagues. This is necessary for maintaining emotional balance for each specialist working in a pair and for the ability to rely on each other during consultations or group psychological work;participating periodically in supervision groups or receiving supervision.Following these rules is essential for preserving the emotional well-being of each specialist and enables them to rely on support systems such as working in pairs and seeking supervision or consultation when needed.

The Relationship of Various Forms of Accommodative Asthenopia with the Characteristics of the Professional Activity in Patients with Visually Intense Work and the Phenomena of Computer Visual Syndrome

Purpose: to study the relationship of various forms of accommodative asthenopia (AA) with the characteristics of the professional activity of patients with visually stressful work (VSW) with the phenomena of computer visual syndrome (CVS).Methods. There were 150 patients with VSW — professional users of personal computers (mean age 28.8 ± 1.4 years) with myopic refraction (mean value of spherical equivalent 2.8 ± 1.1 diopters) under observation. The patients were divided into three groups: “normal” (50 patients); asthenic form of accommodative asthenopia (AFAA, pathology, 50 patients); habitual excessive tension of accommodation (HETA), pathology, 50 patients). All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination for 13 parameters. As a basic diagnostic method, a specially developed questionnaire aimed at assessing professional activity was used. Statistical analysis of the results of the study was performed on the basis of an assessment of the average values of the correlation coefficients (ACC) between the patient’s responses (in points) and the studied indicators of the visual system.Results. High ACC were determined on issues characterizing the amount of daily visual load. However, no differences were found between APAA and HETA. The occurrence of AFAA is more often associated with the input of information, HETA — with reading. Evaluation of issues related to the regularity of the use of optical correction revealed differences in ACC (p < 0.05) between the “normal” group and the “pathology” groups, while in the “normal” group, optical correction was used in most cases “often” or “constantly”, in the “pathology” groups — “sometimes”.Conclusion. The results of the correlation assessment of the relationship between various types of AA in patients with VSW with the characteristics of professional activity and the parameters of the visual analyzer indicate the leading role of the duration and nature (input, reading of information) of daily work at a personal computer. One of the leading risk factors for the development of AA is inadequate optical correction. At the same time, there were no significant differences between AFAA and PINA. The most informative parameters of the accommodative system of the eye are the volume of absolute and relative accommodation (by the subjective method), as well as the coefficients of microfluctuations and stability of accommodogram (by the objective accommodation method).

Formation of a spectrum of system-information criteria for the consistency of expert opinions

The article is devoted to the development of a system-information methodology for establishing the consistency of generalized expert opinions. After all, in the process of conducting any research in which expert information is revealed, a paradoxical situation may arise when the indicator of a generalized group opinion, usually obtained based on the “group normalization effect”, is actually determined, but there is no individual opinion that would coincide with it. Moreover, in the context of this publication, we are talking about the consistency of group systems of specialists’ advantages. Under the system of benefits, we mean an ordered series of indicators, characteristics of professional activity or objects of expertise: from more acceptable (important, significant, etc.) to less acceptable. And it is clear that the inconsistency of opinions arises precisely when individual preference systems are aggregated into a group one. It is determined that the consistency of group opinions should be checked in the following areas: 1) for each individual alternative, which is ordered. It is advisable to implement the direction after the introduction into practice of expert research — the methodology and the differential method for establishing a part of the total significance of the compared alternatives; 2) coincidence/non-coincidence of individual systems of preferences of group members; 3) integrally — using the Kendall concordance coefficient; 4) complex. Based on the experience of using a multi-step technology for identifying and screening out marginal thoughts, eliminating the “systematic error of the survivor”, as well as building a “reference” group system of advantages, a set of known and new system-information criteria for the consistency of expert opinions is formulated. We are talking about the requirements for: the probability of the Kendall concordance coefficient, tested using the statistical criterion for testing hypotheses “хі-square”, and its minimum acceptable value, which should be equal to W≥0,7; the need for statistically probable matching of all individual preference systems with group thought in the final group preference system; the need to match the individual system of preferences with the majority opinions of group members etc. Moreover, the last two criteria are implemented based on the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, and their reliability is checked using Student’s t-test. Information about the effectiveness of these criteria is provided.

On Medicine, Physicians, and Healers in Ancient Rome

The paper discusses the issue of the attitude towards medicine, physicians, and healers in Ancient Rome (1st – 5th centuries) based on ancient texts (Juv. Sat., Plin. Nat. Hist., Mart. Ep., etc.). It is shown that the profession of physician in Rome did not immediately receive recognition. The reasons for this are revealed: first, Romans did not consider medicine an art (science), and second, those who were associated with medicine were not Romans by origin and did not initially have civil rights. The collective biography of the Roman physician is reconstructed; it is based on the surviving testimonies about Anthonius Musa, Sextius Niger, Scribonius Largus, Rufus of Ephesus, Galen, Serenius Sammonius, Theodorus Priscianus, Adamantius, Marcellus Empiricus, and others. Information about their origin, names and nicknames, positions, social status, duties and rights, features of professional activity, subject and content of their medical texts is taken into account. Some provisions of the collective biography are as follows: 1) Roman physicians and people associated with medicine initially had the status of a slave; 2) As a rule, they received education either in Alexandria, or in special medical schools and temples-hospitals, or from famous teachers; 3) Some physicians were at emperors’ courts, had high titles, positions and privileges; 4) For the most part, physicians authored works written mainly in Greek, but also in Arabic and Latin; 5) The interests of physicians were connected with natural philosophy, medicine itself (theoretical and practical) and its fields, for example, physiology and pharmacology, as well as biology (botany); 6) In addition to medical practice, physicians’ occupations included teaching, mentoring, and sharing experience; collecting prescriptions and antidotes, inventing medical drugs; 7) The career of a physician (especially at the court of an emperor) could not always be successful. He could be expelled, forced to flee to a foreign country, or murdered.

СВЯЗЬ ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ОСОБЕННОСТЕЙ И СИНДРОМА ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОГО ВЫГОРАНИЯ У СОТРУДНИКОВ ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКИХ КОМПАНИЙ

The results of a study of professional burnout among employees of a commercial organization are presented in the article. The study involved employees of a pharmaceutical company (N=101) with different experience, higher education, aged 22 to 60 years (SD=8.62), men 21.8%, women 78.2%. Socio-demographic variables (gender, age), characteristics of professional activity (length of service, position, predominant content of work tasks, compliance of responsibilities with education) are not associated with the severity of burnout in this sample. The traits of the “dark triad” “Machiavellianism” and “psychopathy” are significantly higher in the group of more burned-out employees; the indicators on the “narcissism” scale did not show significant differences. Indicators of “proactive overcoming”, “reflexive overcoming”, and “strategic planning” turned out to be significantly higher in less burned-out employees, and the intensity of psychological defenses did not differ. Proactive coping strategies are associated with burnout in all respondents, psychopathy is associated with burnout in respondents with moderate burnout severity, and personality defense mechanisms are associated with burnout in respondents with high burnout severity. The burnout of the pharmaceutical company employees who took part in this study turned out to be associated with the psychological characteristics of the respondents, and not the characteristics of the organization of their professional activities. In particular, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, proactive coping, and psychological defenses were associated with burnout, and the connections of these psychological characteristics differ among respondents with different burnout severity. The results of the study indicate the expediency of studying the psychological factors of burnout, taking into account the severity and phase of burnout.

Career Guidance of Teenagers and their Sociocultural Development and Adaptation in Modern World of New Technologies

Objective: Compilation and partial testing of a career guidance program for students with special training in high school. Background: A modern teenager is formed as a personality in the conditions of a constant increase of prestige of a profession and readiness of the labour market for the formation of subject-matter specialists. Each teenager chooses a profession based on their current market situation and their perception of it not only by technical capabilities but also by social, cultural, and value orientations. In this regard, early identification of professional preferences and the establishment of a system of work with schoolchildren, point-oriented to the choice of a profession, is relevant. The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that such a choice is made without the ability to determine success in a specific professional field in advance. Method: The main content of the formation of teenagers' knowledge and skills for professional activities in the sociocultural environment were the disciplines of the variable part of the curriculum and the special course "Features of professional activity in the sociocultural environment”. The methodology for creating and implementing a special course is focused on the formation of the basic components of readiness for professional activity in the sociocultural environment: personal, interactive, and reflective (evaluative). Results: The article not only analyses the current experience of career guidance but also proposes to analyse the situation of teenagers' susceptibility to such guidance basing on different components. The practical significance of the study is determined by long-term projects, which are considered as a probabilistic improvement of socio-economic development and improvement of the quality of work in various industries, and at the personal level – sociocultural development and socialisation of teenagers. Conclusion: The career guidance of teenagers should combine not only a story of a target audience about the benefits of a profession, but also about ways of communication and formation of a definition of technological way to bring information about the choice of profession.

Quantitative indicators of air traffic controllers’ attitude to the danger of errors

The negative and persistent impact of the human factor on the statistics of aviation accidents and serious incidents makes proactive studies of the attitude of “front line” aviation operators (air traffic controllers, flight crewmembers) to dangerous actions or professional conditions as a key component of the current paradigm of ICAO safety concept. This “attitude” is determined through the indicators of the influence of the human factor on decision-making, which also include the systems of preferences of air traffic controllers on the indicators and characteristics of professional activity, illustrating both the individual perception of potential risks and dangers, and the peculiarities of generalized group thinking that have developed in a particular society. Preference systems are an ordered (ranked) series of n = 21 errors: from the most dangerous to the least dangerous and characterize only the danger preference of one error over another. The degree of this preference is determined only by the difference in the ranks of the errors and does not answer the question of how much time one error is more dangerous in relation to another. The differential method for identifying the comparative danger of errors, as well as the multistep technology for identifying and filtering out marginal opinions were applied. From the initial sample of m = 37 professional air traffic controllers, two subgroups mB=20 and mG=7 people were identified with statisti-cally significant at a high level of significance within the group consistency of opinions a = 1%. Nonpara-metric optimization of the corresponding group preference systems resulted in Kemeny’s medians, in which the related (middle) ranks were missing. Based on these medians, weighted coefficients of error hazards were determined by the mathematical prioritization method. It is substantiated that with the ac-cepted accuracy of calculations, the results obtained at the second iteration of this method are more ac-ceptable. The values of the error hazard coefficients, together with their ranks established in the preference systems, allow a more complete quantitative and qualitative analysis of the attitude of both individual air traffic controllers and their professional groups to hazardous actions or conditions.

ПРЕВЕНТИВНЕ ОЦІНЮВАННЯ КОМПЛЕКСНОЇ ЗНАЧУЩОСТІ ХАРАКТЕРНИХ ПОМИЛОК АВІАДИСПЕЧЕРІВ

It is substantiated that the main factor explaining the impact of "front-line" aviation operators on the interaction of ICAO flight safety concept components is their "attitude to dangerous activities or conditions". To this “attitude” is assigned a preference system based on indicators and characteristics of professional activity. Based on ICAO recommendations and statistics on accidents and serious incidents during the organization of air traffic, a spectrum of n = 21 characteristic errors of air traffic controllers was formed, which most fully and comprehensively illustrates their erroneous decisions. Focusing on the linguistic indicators of ICAO to determine the levels of frequency and danger of adverse events, it is reasonable to carry out their defuzzification by using weighted error significance factors to determine individual and group preference systems. The coefficients are determined at the fifth iteration of the application of the mathematical method of prioritization. m=37 of professional air traffic controllers were involved in the experiment. To summarize their opinions regarding the frequency and danger of errors, a multiplicative approach was implemented, in contrast to the additive approach, more accurate results are obtained. The group systems of preferences of the tested air traffic controllers were constructed in terms of the frequency and dangers of characteristic errors that do not coincide. Indistinguishability indicator was introduced. It is found that its value for the study of the frequency of errors in the group system of advantages is equal to the value R*LF= 1,23·10-2, and for the analysis of the risks of errors - three times worse and equalR*LD= 3,77·10-2. An integrative (holistic) indicator of the significance of each error summarizes its coefficients of significance for the frequency and hazard indicators and is multiplicative. Which made it possible to build the ultimate group benefits system. The degree of indistinction of the significance of errors in it is equalR*g = 0,91·10-2, which testifies to the effectiveness of the proposed approach to the implementation of the recommendations of ICAO on the consideration in the processes of safety management of the frequency of flights and from the top of adverse events. It is proposed to use the obtained results to create a methodology for analyzing the “event tree” in flight safety management systems.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНЬОГО ЕКОНОМІСТА

The article substantiates the relevance of the development of the social competence of a future economist in the conditions of globalization, integration changes, requirements of state documents on education applicants and professionals in view of the success of the individual and a conscious civil society. It is emphasized on the interest in social competence, from the deep antiquity and the study of this phenomenon in relation to different groups. The key approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “social competence of the person” are outlined. It is revealed that concepts are considered on two levels: as a component of other competencies, in particular, professional and as through competence, generalization concept for a set of competencies, integral characteristics of the person, umbrella construction. It is revealed that in the broad sense the social competence implies knowledge of the history of development, functioning of society, taking into account the sociality of all competences in its content and form. In the narrow one – it characterizes the process of mastering the range of socio-psychological knowledge, moral and legal judgments necessary for successful adaptation and social activity, which determines the common characteristics and characteristics of socio-economic and professional activities and behavior of economists in the present conditions, changing of their functions. It has been determined that in accordance with this trend, such systemic aspects as cognitive, value-personality, activity and behavior that are manifested in the person-professional and personal-social levels and can be considered as components of the specified competence become more important.It was determined that social and cultural determinants influence the social competence in accordance with the values of the society, the requirements and features of professional activity, which is reflected in the specifics of the social competence of a future economist and a list of conditions for its formation in the educational process. The author’s point of view on the pedagogical conditions of the mentioned process is outlined.

ПСИХОЛОГО-ПРАВОВІ ЗАСАДИ ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО ВІДБОРУ ПЕРСОНАЛУ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПОЛІЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ

The article is devoted to the problems of searching for psychological and legal opportunities to optimize the implementation of the professional selection of personnel of the National Police of Ukraine. The authors analyze the foreign and domestic experience of psychological selection of police officers, consider the typical psychodiagnostic tools, which are used in this regard as well as the connection of the scales of the main psychodiagnostic methods with the success of the police professional activity. It is concluded that the existing regulatory framework for the selection and appointment of police officers in the state requires improvement in the direction of optimizing its psychological component - developing a scientifically based set of psychodiagnostic methods, determining the psychological requirements of a profession for a policeman, establishing indicators of psychological fitness for a police law enforcement officer’s activities. Based on a systems approach, the theory of traits and the theory of leading trends, the article substantiates the expediency of introducing a three-component system of psychological selection of police officers, which provides psychodiagnostics of direction, abilities and characterological sphere of candidates for police officers, offers an optimal set of psychodiagnostic methods for determining professional suitability. On the basis of a wide experimental study of the characteristics of professional activities of patrol police officers and district police officers from twenty-five regions of the state, the article provides qualitative and quantitative psychological indicators of the police professional qualifications for service, i.e. the psychogram of police profession. The psychogram includes a complete description of the actual psychological characteristics and professionally important personal qualities of a specialist, determines the qualitative and quantitative psychological and psychophysiological indicators recommended for professional activity, as well as psychological and psychophysiological contraindications to mastering the professional activities of a policeman. It is concluded that it is advisable to build a conceptual scheme of psychological diagnostics and prediction of professional suitability on the basis of the concept of leading trends; the optimal set of psychodiagnostic methods for the selection of policemen is complementary and includes tests for determining the orientation of the personality; subjective characterological questionnaires, as well as tests to study the general abilities of candidates for posts.
