Level Of Stress Resistance Research Articles

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПРОЯВУ КОПІНГ-СТРАТЕГІЙ СТУДЕНТІВ З РІЗНИМ РІВНЕМ СТРЕСОСТІЙКОСТІ

Ukrainian society and every Ukrainian family is currently experiencing social and psychological difficulties as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. All this creates a significant number of stressors for the population. Martial law, hostilities, forced changes in living conditions, and constant stress cause people to experience difficulties in maintaining psychological comfort. Therefore, the problem of optimal choice of coping strategies, especially by students, is becoming particularly relevant. The article deals with the issue of individual's choice of behaviour coping strategies. The special significance of the formation and development of this phenomenon in the participants of the educational process of a higher education institution is emphasized. In particular, the emphasis is placed on the difficulties that students are currently facing, namely the consequences of quarantine restrictions, a sense of isolation, internal discomfort and general psycho-emotional stress caused by the martial law in our country. The article focuses on coping strategies as a subconscious means of psychological defence that shapes human behaviour in certain conditions. A theoretical analysis is carried out and meanings of the following concepts are indicated: «coping», «coping strategy», «coping behaviour» and «coping resources», as well as an analysis of the peculiarities of making behavioural choices in certain conditions. The main strategies of behaviour in a stressful situation and the main approaches to the study of coping behaviour and behavioural strategies are analysed. The article reflects empirical indicators of the ratio of dominant coping strategies at different levels of stress resistance. A correlation between the level of stress resistance and coping strategies has been established: with a low level of stress resistance, passive coping strategy dominates; in the presence of a high level - active coping strategies.

FEATURES OF EXPERIENCING AND OVERCOMING STRESS BY CIVIL SERVANTS WITH DIFFERENT WORK EXPERIENCE

The article presents the results of the study on the characteristics of experiencing and overcoming stress by civil servants with different work experience. The sample consisted of 52 employees of the Ulyanovsk city administration. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used: tests to determine the level of stress and stress resistance by Yu. V. Shcherbatykh and S. Hobfoll’s Strategic Approach to Coping Scale. According to the results of the study, it was possible to identify various signs of stress, characteristics of basic and dynamic stress resistance, and dominant coping strategies in three groups according to work experience: up to 5 years, from 5 to 10 years and more than 10 years. Also, different structures of relationships between the studied characteristics were identified for each of the groups.

Myocardial contractile function in the post-traumatic period of cardiac contusion in rats with different stress resistance: A preclinical experimental randomized trial

Background. Pathogenesis of cardiac contusion involves primary traumatic and secondary hypoxic mechanisms of myocardial contractile function depression as well as body reactions aimed at adapting to altered environment. A significant part of these reactions is realized in the context of stress. The intensity of the stress component in myocardial dysfunction is largely determined by the individual stress reactivity of the body. Objectives. To assess the contractile function and functional reserves of the myocardium of rats with a high and low level of stress resistance in the post-traumatic period of cardiac contusion. Methods. A preclinical experimental randomized trial involved 134 white mature nonlinear male rats weighing about 270 g. The animals were divided by sequentially performed Open Field and Porsolt Forced Swim tests into 2 groups: group 1 — animals with low stress resistance, group 2 — animals with high stress resistance. Within each group, the animals were randomized into control and experimental subgroups. In the experimental subgroups, 6, 12 and 24 hours after simulating cardiac contusion, the force and rate indicators of myocardial contractility were evaluated using the Fallen isolated heart model. The summary measures of the study included assessing the contractile force and rate of isolated hearts of rats with low and high stress resistance, particularly under conditions of high-frequency rhythm load (ranging from 4.0 to 8.3 Hz) during the post-traumatic period of cardiac contusion. Data analysis was performed using software packages MS Office 2013 (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and Statistica, v. 10 (StatSoft, USA). The differences were considered to be statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results. 6, 12 and 24 hours after simulating a cardiac contusion, contractile force and rate of isolated hearts decreased in group 1 and group 2. In low stress-resistant animals, immediately following the stabilization period and during high-frequency rhythm test, the contractility force and rate in isolated hearts were statistically significantly lower (p = 0.0008) compared to those recorded in highly stress-resistant individuals. During the stimulation of a high-frequency rhythm, isolated hearts in the experimental group revealed diastolic dysfunction at all time points. In highly stress-resistant animals, diastolic dysfunction occurred at a heart rate of 300 min-1 and above, whereas in low stress-resistant animals, it manifested at a heart rate of 240 min-1 and above. At the same heart rate, diastolic dysfunction in low stress-resistant animals was statistically significantly greater (p = 0.0008) compared to that of highly resistant animals. Conclusion. The post-traumatic period following experimental myocardial contusion is characterized by a reduction in the force and rate of myocardial contractility, as well as a decrease in functional reserves of the myocardium, regardless of stress resistance. High stress resistance is associated with better preservation of cardiac contractile function and contractility reserves, whereas low stress resistance correlates with a more pronounced degree of myocardial dysfunction and a significant reduction in functional reserves of the contused heart. Differences in the severity of contractile dysfunction under conditions of high and low body resistance to stress can be attributed to varying degrees of secondary myocardial damage in the contused area, resulting from the misbalance between stress-activating and stress-limiting mechanisms involved in the development of secondary damage.

Psychological stability of the individual in extreme situations

ObjectiveThe main purpose of this study is to consider the factors influencing the stability of the human mental system in extreme situations. MethodsThe study used structural and functional methods, dialectical methods, synthesis, logical analysis, and generalisation. A survey was also conducted with 70 participants divided into two age groups, using empirical methods such as the “Research of volitional self-regulation” test, the “Diagnostics of emotional barriers in interpersonal communication” methodology, and the “Self-assessment test of mental state”. ResultsIt was found that extreme events have a psychogenic impact, which includes both direct threats to human life and indirect threats. Psychological stability is a protective characteristic that enhances a person's ability to adapt to environmental conditions and mitigates the harmful effects of stress. Individuals with higher stress tolerance maintained mental health, social adaptation, and professional efficiency in difficult conditions. The study revealed that the second group (aged 30–40) demonstrated a higher level of psychological stress resistance compared to the first group (aged 18–25). ConclusionThis paper is practically important, since all theoretical provisions, conclusions, and recommendations can be used by psychologists or other specialists to increase knowledge about the impact of extreme situations on the psychological stress tolerance of a person, and to improve the system of methods of working with people who have fallen into such circumstances.

Professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers of police organizations

The research aims to investigate the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers of police organizations. The research design is a cross-sectional study. The research was conducted in several stages during 2022-2023. The first stage involved a survey of police units personnel (n = 562) to identify “successful” managers; the second stage provided for the determination of the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers of police organizations (n = 74) using a set of psychodiagnostic methods; the third stage made provisions for correlation analysis between the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers. The following methods were used during the research: theoretical methods – analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scientific literature; empirical and psychodiagnostic methods – included a survey of police units personnel; methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. It was found that successful managers show high levels of working capacity, stress resistance, sociability, and proactive attitude. They are characterized by a sthenic type of reaction, pronounced motivation for personal achievement, and high levels of flexibility of thinking and creativity. They are also characterized by leadership and organizational qualities, and energy. The results of the research made it possible to form an idea of the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers of police organizations, which will help to improve the professional selection of persons for managerial activities.

Stress resistance as an indicator of psychological readiness for professional activities of modern youth

Introduction. The problem of stress tolerance does not lose its relevance today, the concept of stress tolerance is increasingly being discussed in the discourses of the European Union and international organizations. In modern conditions, a person performs responsible tasks in a difficult environment of constant exposure to psychogenic factors: physical overloads, intense work of attention, the need for continuous analysis of rapidly changing situations and their uncertainty, etc. In this regard, the problem of the importance of stress tolerance as an indicator and a possible component of psychological readiness for professional activity of modern youth is of particular relevance. The expediency of considering a single socio-psychological aspect of readiness for professional activity, which includes an inseparable set of personal formations and a state of focus on certain actions, is emphasized. Materials and methods. The respondents were 230 students of both sexes, the average age was 21 ± 2.3 years. The following diagnostic methods were used: S. Muddy's resilience test (adapted by D. A. Leontyev, E. I. Rasskazova), a stress resistance test that reveals the current level of stress (Boston stress resistance test), a method for diagnosing coping behavior in stressful situations (S. Norman, D. Endler, D. James, M. Parker), K. Zamfir’s technique modified by A.A. Reana “Motivation for professional activity”; questionnaire of volitional self-control A.G. Zverkov, E.V. Eidman (VSK), “Self-Confidence Scale” S. Reizas. The statistical reliability of the results is ensured by using the following procedures: descriptive statistics (analysis of intragroup means and standard deviations), Student's t-test. Results. The study found that 50% of students in group 1 (with a low level of resilience) have a reduced level of stress resistance, 50% of students in group 2 (with an average level of resilience) and 57.2% of group 3 (with a high level of resilience) have an average level of stress resistance. It was also established that the proper level of internal motivation, volitional self-control and assertiveness was revealed in the subjects with the highest stress resistance indicators. That is, the higher the stress tolerance indicators, the more effectively a person will be able to cope with difficulties and problems that arise on his way to the goal, the more likely he will make every effort to achieve a successful result and enjoy it. Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that the ability to withstand stress will allow a young specialist not only to cope with difficulties and problems that arise on his way to the goal but also to attach less importance to external circumstances which can have a positive impact on future professional activities.

Individual and psychological characteristics of medical university students with different stress resistance

The individual and psychological characteristics of 181 students with different levels of stress resistance were studied. Was revealed the dominance of the mechanisms of regression (8.77 ± 2.40 points), projection (7.03 ± 2.04 points) and rationalization (6.73 ± 1.89 points) with a lower intensity of compensation mechanisms (5.45 ± 1.68 points), denial (4.80 ± 1.71 points) and displacement (4.80 ± 2.02 points), and minimal expression of mechanisms of hypercompensation (4.42 ± 1.67 points) and substitution (4.38 ± 2.07 points). The mechanism of rationalization is more intense in students with high stress resistance, the mechanisms of regression, projection, compensation and hypercompensation — in students with moderate stress resistance, and displacement, substitution and denial — in students with weak stress resistance. The average level of resilience was found in the examinees: 25.25 ± 10.62 points, while in students with high stress resistance, the indicator corresponded to a higher than average level: 29.22 ± 6.70 points, in students with moderate stress resistance — to an average level: 24.31 ± 11.21 points, and in students with weak stress resistance — a lower than average level: 16.28 ± 12.43 points. The resilience index is inversely correlated with the stress resistance index (rS = –0.352, p = 0.001), which indicates that higher stress resistance is associated with greater resilience. The state of hardiness of medical students as a whole and of students with high and moderate stress resistance corresponds to a high level: respectively 20.10 ± 7.48 points, 23.59 ± 6.39 points and 19.37 ± 6.41 points, and in students with weak stress resistance — moderate level: 12.03 ± 6.00 points. All components of hardiness — commitment, control and challenge are most pronounced in students with high stress resistance, and least pronounced — in students with weak stress resistance. The stress resistance indicator is inversely correlated with hardiness (rS = –0.519, p = 0.000), commitment (rS = –0.464, p = 0.000), control (rS = –0.477, p = 0.000) and challenge (rS = –0.461, p = 0.000), which indicates that higher stress resistance is associated with greater hardiness. Key words: medical university students, stress resistance, psychological protection, hardiness, resilience

Identification and differentiation of rice ferritin gene in two different chromosomes in several local Indonesian rice varieties

Abstract. Permatasari SE, Salamah A. 2024. Identification and differentiation of rice ferritin gene in two different chromosomes in several local Indonesian rice varieties. Biodiversitas 25: 2547-2555. The presence of ferritin protein in rice plants indicates a regulatory response to environmental iron stress. It prevents the destructive effects of the chain reaction resulting from Fe2+ accumulation in the cell. This study aimed to detect and identify the location of the ferritin gene (OsFER) in eight local rice varieties in Indonesia. OsFER2, as the target gene was amplified using PCR, visualized by electrophoresis, and then sequenced. The sequencing results were analyzed using DNA Baser, BioEdit, and ClustalX2. The predicted proteins were visualized using the SWISS-MODEL server, Rice Genome Annotation Project Database, and chromosome map tools. The results show that all rice varieties studied have 100% alignment similarity and OsFER characteristics on chromosome 11 at LOC_Os11g01530 and chromosome 12 at LOC_Os12g01530, which have striking differences. The complete protein structure of the complex is found on chromosome 12, while only a portion of alpha-helix ferritin is found on chromosome 11. Differences in the position of the ferritin gene at different chromosomes impact the functional changes in the ferritin protein as an iron homeostasis key role. The two genes show different characteristics and are located at different genomic positions, suggesting a potential regulatory impact on the level of iron stress resistance in Indonesian rice varieties.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MANIFESTATION AND EXHIBITION OF MUAY TAY ATHLETE’S STRESS RESISTANCE AND SELF-CONTROL BEHAVIOR

Abstract The article is dedicated to the modern developmental problems of sport psychology.Nowdays the life of individuals is related to stress and stress resistance, which are reflected in everyday life, including sports. Learning successful ways to deal with stress is extremely important for an athlete. Sport (sporting activity) is inherently stressful for elite and novice Thai boxers,both of them equally exposed to stress during training and competition and need appropriate psychological support[2;8]. Almost every Thai boxer is in a state of high or pronounced stress. At the same time, men and women are equally susceptible to stress during sports activities. Such athletes widely use several self-supporting behavior strategies during their activities to cope with stress moreover, most of them reach a high level of expressiveness. In the work, an attempt was made to reveal the characteristics of the manifestation of stress resistance and self-control behavior formation of Muay Thai athletes, to study the mutual relationship between stress resistance and self-control behavior and the characteristics of behavior formation and manifestation. An experimental study was organized to study the manifestation of stress resistance of athletes of the mentioned sport [1]. Observations, testing and data processing methods were used for the studies, as a result very important conclusions were made. Various manifestations of stress resistance and self-control behavior among Thai boxers were revealed in the studied groups. In athletes, a high tension was observed in the self-monitoring behavior of positive reappraisal and seeking social support. This can be said to characterize Thai boxers as individuals who are focused on the personal, philosophical, reinterpretation of the problematic situation and are included in the broader context of the individual's self-development work. Perception of social support also indicates athletes' focus on interaction with other people, their support, attention, advice, sympathy, and expectation of concrete effective help. The dominant self-control behavior stress behavioral strategies of athletes are distraction and social distraction from the problem. An indicator of the level of neuropsychological stability or stress resistance is negatively correlated with self-control behavior strategies of taking responsibility and planning for problem solving, as well as problem solving strategies.

Level of Resistance of S1 Lines of Corn Plants to Drought Stress

The formation of hybrid varieties by self-crossing the F2 population has been carried out, thus obtaining the first generation selfing line (S1). This research aims to determine the level of drought stress resistance of S1 lines and corn plants and the correlation between their characters and the ISC value for each stress. The method used is an experimental method with field experiments. The experiment was carried out from March to June 2023 at the location in Gumantar Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RAK) in a split plot design with the main plot consisting of stress and normal treatments, while the sub plots were the S1 lines and the F2 population. The results showed that there were different levels of resistance in the S1 line. G27 has resistance with tolerant criteria, 13 lines are moderately tolerant, and 16 other lines are susceptible; Correlation criteria between characters vary with the ISC value in each stress and normal condition. Characters that are strongly correlated with the ISC value are chlorophyll A, total chlorophyll, harvest dry cob weight, and dry kernel weight. The formation of S2 lines can be done using tolerant and moderately tolerant lines.

САМООЦЕНКА ЗДОРОВЬЯ И РЕСУРСНОГО СОСТОЯНИЯ У ДЕВУШЕК, ОБУЧАЮЩИХСЯ В МЕДИЦИНСКОМ ВУЗЕ

A comprehensive study of the health status of girls studying at Tyumen State Medical University showed a high level of awareness about risk factors for developing diseases. Correlations between the lifestyle of girls and awareness of the main and additional risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases and infections. no sexually transmitted diseases have been identified. The low level of stress resistance in girls is due to lack of time and academic workload, including physical education classes. Chronotype - late evening or early morning did not affect sleep quality and stress resistance in the study group. All the girls had difficulty waking up in the morning and fell asleep late. The sleep deficit was compensated by waking up late on weekends. During the holidays, the rhythm of work and rest changed, shifting to late falling asleep and late waking up in the morning, but almost all the girls felt rested and ready to continue their studies in the new semester. According to the questionnaire and food diary, the diet of most girls was dominated by easily digestible carbohydrates and chicken meat. The diet was unbalanced and irregular, 15.6% of girls were overweight, and 12.8% were underweight. All girls studied in the main or special groups in physical education, but only 22.7% of students led an active lifestyle and were fond of sports, choreography or dancing, and visited fitness studios or a gym. Among girls, a small group was identified with an average degree of dependence on nicotine according to the Fagerström test – 4.7%. More than half of the survey participants have experience of drinking alcohol. Overall, we didn't notice the characteristics typical of Generation Z. It was not possible to identify a single girl who, in terms of psychophysical fitness, psychological and social well-being, met the definition of a healthy person by the World Health Organization.

Factors structure of psychological readiness in elite wrestlers men and women

The article examines the factor structure of the psychological readiness of highly qualified wrestlers. 24 highly qualified athletes specializing in women's wrestling and 33 highly qualified athletes specializing in freestyle wrestling were examined. All athletes are members of national teams of Ukraine. Consent was obtained from all athletes to participate in research and to use the results for scientific purposes. The psycho-emotional state (according to Lüscher's color test), the state of neurodynamic functions (balance and mobility of nervous processes) and the state of cognitive functions (assessment of non-verbal and verbal intelligence, working memory, logical and analytical thinking and the level of manifestation of stress resistance) were investigated using hardware- software computer complex "Multipsychometer - 05".
 It is shown that the psychological readiness of highly qualified wrestlers consists of five factors: perception of external information; mental state; the quality and speed of processing non-verbal information and making an optimal decision. Among highly qualified wrestlers, five factors ensuring psychological readiness were also found: perception of external information; mental state; making the optimal decision; speed of perception and level of stress resistance. According to the research results, it can be concluded that in order to optimize the psychological readiness of highly qualified wrestlers, it is necessary to have an appropriate level of the state of the system of perception, processing of external information and making an optimal decision. Accordingly, the optimization of psychological readiness in highly qualified wrestlers is ensured by the ability to make optimal decisions with different types of perception and a high level of stress resistance.

Psychological features of HIV-infected patients depending on the stage of the disease

The relevance of the problem. Currently, the issue of HIV infection is acute all over the world, and the variety of HIV clinical forms is striking in its vastness and congruence with other pathologies. Among Russian and foreign publications devoted to psychological changes in patients with HIV infection, there is a lack of works on the relationship of their levels of resistance to the action of stress agents, the effectiveness of the formation of protective and compensatory behavior with differentiation by spheres (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral), and the absence or presence of alexithymia of varying degrees of severity in their personal psychological type with self-assessment of wellbeing, the severity of infection, and the presence of complications. The purpose of the study: to identify and compare the psychological characteristics of the personality of HIV-infected patients, depending on the stage of the disease. Materials and methods. We observed 150 male and female volunteers (83 and 67 patients, respectively), whose mean age was 37.5 (33.9; 42.1) years, living in the city of Saratov and the Saratov region. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the stage of the disease: Group I — the patients with HIV infection in the incubation stage (Stage 1 — incubation), Group II — the patients with steadily progressing HIV infection (Stage 2 — stage of primary manifestations and Stage 3 — subclinical); Group III — the patients with continuing HIV replication, accompanied by the death of CD4+ lymphocytes and the depletion of their population to zero (Stage 4 — stage of secondary diseases and Stage 5 — terminal). The patients were followed up at the public health institution Saratov Regional Clinical Center for AIDS Prevention and Control. Results. The following patterns, confirmed statistically, were revealed: the lower the resistance of the patients to the action of stress agents was, the higher their anxiety was and significantly more often both the tendency to alexithymia and its obvious clinical signs were revealed. Thus, it is advisable for all patients, regardless of the stage of progression of HIV infection, to determine the levels of stress resistance, since with a decrease in this indicator, their level of anxiety increases, a tendency to alexithymia appears, and sleep disturbances, mood disorders, memory impairment, and decreased performance occur, in contrast to patients with high stress resistance.

Methodological foundations of teaching stress resistance of students in the process of rationally organized motor activity

The article attempts to study and systematize the psychophysical components of stress resistance of students, and identifies the possibilities of pedagogical influence on the level of stress resistance of students by means of physical education. The purpose of the work is to study the main approaches to teaching stress resistance of students in the process of physical education based on the individual characteristics of their development. Methodology: in the process of research, the causes of educational stress were determined, the essence of stress resistance as an individual quality of personality and individual-typological features of the development of the students' body, which affect its level, the possibilities of learning stress resistance by means of physical culture in the process of theoretical analysis of data of modern psychological and pedagogical literature. Scientific novelty: the data on the components of stress resistance are summarized, the methodical foundations of teaching stress resistance of students in the process of rationally organized motor activity are disclosed. Conclusions. It was determined that stress resistance depends on the individual and typological characteristics of the organism's development, in particular, the properties of the nervous system, cognitive abilities, the level of adaptive and functional capabilities, and motor readiness of students. It was found that the means of physical culture provide a health-improving, developmental and recreational effect, influence the stress level and stress resistance of those who practice. The importance of rational planning of physical activity, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body's development, in order to provide each student with an optimal movement regime is substantiated.

Correction of manifestations of psychoemotional stress in students: meditative techniques in combination with pharmacological support in the martial art of ju-jutsu

The goal is to substantiate and experimentally verify the effectiveness of the combined meditative-pharmacological methodology of relieving emotional stress in students of higher education institutions during Ju-jutsu martial arts classes. Methodology: analysis and generalization of educational and methodological literature, systematization of scientific data, generalization of practical experience, comparison of different views on the investigated problem; pedagogical survey for the purpose of studying the level of stress resistance. Scientific novelty. An analysis of modern scientific and scientific-methodological literature was carried out and factors influencing the mental health of students were investigated, in particular, the severity of manifestations of psycho-emotional stress during studies in institutions of higher education, and the negative impact of this phenomenon on the functional state of organs and systems of the body was proven. deterioration of health and quality of life. The expediency of using meditative techniques to reduce the severity of stressful manifestations is shown. For the first time in the practice of martial arts, a combination of meditation was used during the training process of students engaged in the martial art of ju-jutsu to reduce the severity of manifestations of stress, and the use of a special nutritional supplement with a neuroprotective focus "Acetyl-L-carnitine" to correct the manifestations of emotional stress that occurs in students of higher education institutions during their studies. Conclusions. To reduce the manifestations of stress, students use means that not only do not correspond to the prevention of mental health, but also often have a negative effect on it (nicotine, alcohol, drugs, physical and mental overload, etc.). For this purpose, the use of meditative techniques in combination with special neuroprotective agents significantly helps to reduce the severity of manifestations of psychoemotional stress of university students.

Особливості прояву психоемоційного стану висококваліфікованих борців із урахуванням статевого диморфізму

Purpose: the manifestation of psycho-emotional state in elite wrestlers with taking into account of sexually dimorphism. Material and methods. 24 elite females athletes and 33 elite males athletes specializing in freestyle wrestling were examined. All athletes were members of the Ukrainian National Team. Mental states were studied using the Luscher test. Stress resistance was studied using the «Stress test» method. All tests used, including the hardware-software complex «Multipsychometr-05». Results: based on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, it was determined that modern sports wrestling is characterized by a high level of physical and psycho-emotional stress of the athlete in the conditions of competitive activity, and the study of the psycho-emotional state is an important issue for building a training system. The presence of sexual dimorphism with the manifestation of a psycho-emotional state in elite wrestlers has been established. It has been found that due to mental anxiety, male wrestlers have higher values of mental fatigue and internal discomfort compared to female wrestlers. This fact indicates a connection between anxiety as a pre-stress condition that causes fatigue and mental discomfort. At the same time, a higher level of stress resistance was found in men compared to women. The results indicate that a higher level of stress resistance in men is due to a slower impulsivity. In women, a decrease in stress resistance is compensated by an increase in impulsivity. The presence of lower absolute values of the vegetative coefficient in women compared to men was revealed, which indicates a reduced level of tension of vegetative regulation, and, above all, activation of the sympathetic link of the autonomic nervous system. Conclusions. The presence of sexual dimorphism in the manifestation of the psychoemotional state among highly skilled wrestlers has been established. It was found that the presence of mental fatigue and anxiety in male wrestlers leads to emotional discomfort. A higher level of stress resistance was found in male wrestlers compared to female wrestlers. Stress resistance is formed in women by adaptive behavior, tension of the autonomic nervous system regulation and the balance of emotions. In men, stress resistance is ensured by mental focus. Keywords: wrestling, highly skilled, sexual dimorphism, psycho-emotional state, stress resistance.

Distinctive Characteristics of Destructive Conflicts Among Students

The paper considers the concept of "destructive conflict" and its significant characteristics; the causes and consequences of the emergence of destructive conflicts in student age are studied; the interrelation of personal features of students with behavioral reactions in a destructive conflict is analyzed.Conflicts are constantly present in relationships between people and play a key role in the life of a person, family, team, state, society and the person as a whole. The student society also cannot do without conflicts, as many different problems arise in it. Student problems are very diverse and large-scale, and most of all they are associated with the educational process and the individual and personal characteristics of a person. During the educational process, students need to adequately assess both their level of stress resistance and the degree of severity of personality conflict. Students need to learn how to effectively use various ways to overcome conflict behavior, to be able to detect and understand conflictogens that can lead to conflict escalation.The purpose of the psychological research presented in the work was a multidimensional study of the features of the course of destructive conflicts in the student environment.The scientific article presents the results of a study of such characteristics as character accentuations; aggressiveness; tactics of behavior in the conflict. Thanks to the conducted psychological experiment, interconnected sets were identified, including both personal characteristics and styles of behavior in conflict. These parameters were calculated using the computer program STATISTICA 13.5.0.17.The work used such methodological approaches as axiological, humanistically oriented, systemic. Scientific methods of psychological research were: organizational methods; theoretical analysis of literary sources on the research problem; empirical methods: observation, psychodiagnostic methods.

СИНДРОМ ЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ВЫГОРАНИЯ В КОНТЕКСТЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ МОТИВАЦИЕЙ СОТРУДНИКОВ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ

The article is about a factor for decreased motivation of employees in the organization – emotional burnout syndrome. According to the survey of NAFI Analytical Center, every second employee felt emotional burnout in the past or is currently experiencing it. The author identifies main reasons for the emotional burnout syndrome and practices that contribute to the prevention of burnout. Special attention is focused on the nature of stress as the main cause of emotional burnout in employees. One solution to issues associated with burnout is the integration of comprehensive well-being programs that affect all spheres of human life. The main goal of well-being programs is to improve the quality of life of employees, increase the level of vitality and stress resistance. The classical spheres of well-being, which are the basis for the development of appropriate programs, are comparable to the classical motivation theory of A. Maslow, which describes the hierarchy of human needs, from basic physiological needs to spiritual and higher-level needs.

THE STATE OF PERIODONTAL TISSUES IN MILITARY PERSONNEL OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE DEPENDING ON THE PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE

The aim of the study: To assess the periodontal tissue condition of military personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine based on their psycho-emotional state. Materials and methods. A periodontal examination was conducted on 142 male military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who were undergoing rehabilitation or were on rotation, in order to achieve the stated goal. The age range of the subjects was 27 to 60 years, and their period of stay in the combat zone ranged from 3 months to 2 years. The patients underwent clinical and dental examination according to a standardized scheme, which included taking anamnesis and analyzing patients' complaints. The periodontal tissue condition was assessed using Danilevsky's M.F. (1994) classification, with additions by Mashchenko I.S. (2002). To identify symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we administered the PSL-5 questionnaire developed by the National Centre for PTSD. We also determined the presence and degree of psychoemotional stress in the study group using the methodology of Holmes T.H. and Rahe R.H. (1967). The level of reactive and personal anxiety was measured using the Spielberger-Hanin method, specifically the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) from 1970. Results. The study found that the presence of PTSD in military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intensifies periodontal tissue diseases. This is shown by an increase in advanced forms of generalized periodontitis (19.74±4.50 % of patients with PTSD vs. 5.00±4.87 % of patients without PTSD, p<0.01) and a minimal frequency of detection of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues (p<0.05). The study examined the correlation between periodontal tissue diseases and stress resistance and reactive anxiety levels in military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The results showed that patients with a very high and high degree of stress resistance and a low level of reactive anxiety (I, II groups) exhibited a greater degree of resistance to stress. No changes were made to the original text as it already adheres to the desired characteristics. Inflammatory diseases were found to be more prevalent in the structure of periodontal diseases. Meanwhile, dystrophic-inflammatory lesions of periodontal tissues were more common in individuals with threshold resistance to stress and moderate reactive anxiety (III group) and those with low resistance to stress and high levels of reactive anxiety (IV group). Conclusions. The study found a close relationship between the psychoemotional disorders of the subjects and the condition of their periodontal tissues. This relationship is likely one of the leading factors that determine the intensity and severity of inflammatory and dystrophic-inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues in this cohort of patients.

ВПЛИВ ПСИХОСОЦІАЛЬНИХ ЧИННИКІВ НА РОЗВИТОК СТРЕСУ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ

Purpose. Determining the impact of the presence of psychosocial factors on the development of stress among employees when performing production tasks to develop recommendations for reducing their impact. Methodology. To identify stress resistance, some methods were used to determine «Resistance to stress», and to find out their relationship to work, the «Burnout Syndrome» questionnaire was used. The applied methods were developed by specialists of the Institute of Psychology named after H.S. Kostiuka. Based on the recommendations of the ISO 45003:2021 standard, a special questionnaire has been developed to determine dangerous psychosocial factors that lead to the appearance of stress in a worker, the answers to which were evaluated on a Likert scale with points from 0 to 4. Results. The developed system for assessing psychosocial factors will enable users to systematically observe the state of psychological health of employees, the psychological climate in the organization, respond in a timely manner to expected problems, and develop preventive and corrective actions to normalize the situation. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents (61 %) determined the presence of unrealistic deadlines set by their managers. Another largest group of occupational hazard factors is «aspects of work organization», where almost 39 % of participants complain about overtime work. It was determined that 82.2 % of employees struggle to maintain a work/life balance, and 17.8 % feel imbalanced due to the need to work in their free time and the negative impact of work on the ability to recover. Scientific novelty. The relationship between the development of the stress load and the group of factors called «aspects of work organization» in terms of setting unrealistic deadlines for the performance of a given number of production tasks has been established. Practical significance. As a result of the research, it has been found out that in order to improve the psychosocial climate and reduce the level of psychosocial risks, it is necessary to: balance work in the field of psychosocial support at the enterprise; increase the level of stress resistance of employees; improve their mental health; improve the efficiency of the enterprise.
