Medical-psychological aspects of professional deformation of personality development among emergency medical staff

The aim of the work. To study the specifics of professional burnout formation considering the relationship between its levels and typological personality traits of emergency medical staff. Materials and methods. A medical and psychological survey was conducted among 120 medical professionals of the “Regional Clinical Hospital – Center for Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine” in Kharkiv, Ukraine. A representative sample included 85 respondents – emergency medical staff (paramedics and doctors), 28 men and 57 women, aged 20 to 78 years, with a mean age of 40.78 ± 13.43 years. The levels of professional burnout were determined according to the Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey (MBI-GS), the classification of professional burnout risk – according to R. Kalimo, stress triggers and causes provoking it were determined according to the Differential Stress Inventory (DSI) questionnaire. Statistical processing of the factual material was carried out using the IBM SPSS 26.0 computer program and the Vienna Tests System. Results. Emergency medical services staff showed pronounced professional burnout phenomena across all age groups. The high level of emotional exhaustion was most pronounced in 57.1 % of respondents aged 30–40 years and in 42.0 % of those over 40 years, along with this, the moderate level of emotional exhaustion was most pronounced in 1/3 of respondents under the age of 29 years. A high level of depersonalization phenomena prevailed in 40.9 % and 42.9 % of respondents under the age of 29 and 30–40 years, respectively, and a moderate level of depersonalization was almost equally represented in 33.3 % of respondents aged 30–40 years and over 40 years. A high level of diminished sense of personal accomplishment due to a lack of work-related activity value was almost equally represented across all age groups of emergency medical services staff, however, its highest manifestation was in 85.7 % of respondents over 40 years, and the moderate level of this burnout characteristic prevailed in 28.6 % of respondents aged 30–40 years. According to the classification of professional burnout by R. Kalimo et al., only 9.1 % of emergency medical services staff under 29 years and 3.0 % of those over 40 years were at risk of burnout. Nevertheless, some symptoms of burnout were almost equally presented in all age groups, but 71.4 % of respondents aged 30–40 years had the most evident manifestations. According to the DSI questionnaire, 13.6 % and 11.9 % of respondents under the age of 29 and over 40 years, respectively, were of a very tense type of response to stressors in conditions of high professional load with unsuccessful attempts to overcome problem situations. A low level of resilience with successful coping strategies under low-load conditions was more pronounced in 14.3 % of emergency medical services staff over 40 years old and in 9.1 % of those under 29 years of age. Conclusions. The highest levels of professional burnout on the “emotional exhaustion” scale of the MBI-GS questionnaire had more than half of the respondents among emergency medical staff aged 30–40 years, depersonalization phenomena were most pronounced in emergency medical staff under the age of 29 and 30–40 years, and the high level of “reduced personal accomplishment” was equally prevailed among emergency professionals of all age groups, but individuals over the age of 40 years experienced a lack of work-related activity value to a greater extent. One-quarter of the emergency medical staff respondents of all age groups were of the very stressed type with low resilience, being characterized by moderate workload and low coping ability and of the type with low resilience and low professional expectations and demands, but with successful coping strategies, providing the conditions for further decrease in the personal resources of specialists and the progression of the professional burnout phenomena.

ДЕФОРМАЦІЯ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ СВІДОМОСТІ ЮРИСТА: ФІЛОСОФСЬКО-ПРАВОВИЙ ВИМІР

It has found that all legal reforms and transformations should include an anthropological factor, in particular, the formation of a proper moral and psychological climate in the team and prevent the professional deformation of lawyers. Without a high level of moral, ethical and intellectual culture, a lawyer-practitioner will not be able to meet the requirements of a globalized society in the professional implementation of service to the people of Ukraine. It is proved that the process of deformation of the professional consciousness of a lawyer is influenced by external and internal factors that destroy and distort the legitimate values and orientations of the person in the process of performing professional duties. It is emphasized that a dangerous phenomenon that «destroys» a lawyer as a professional is a distorted perception and understanding of his professional duty, internal and external imperatives in professional self-realization. The process of preventing and overcoming professional deformity is dominated by a high degree of development of the internal imperative of a lawyer's duty. It is the inner conscious beliefs in lawful behavior, in the proper performance of official duties, not as a duty, but as a vocation that can prevent destructive processes in the minds of lawyers. It is substantiated that each of the forms of deformation of the legal consciousness of a lawyer may be dominant in itself, but, as a rule, manifests itself in a set of other types of deviations in the professional consciousness of a lawyer. The most dangerous form of professional deformation can be considered the rebirth of the legal consciousness of a lawyer in a criminal form. The central point in the self-determination of the individual is the subject's awareness of the need for self-knowledge, self-change, self-improvement. Self-determination at the same time acts as an integrating core of personality development, covering all its aspects. It is proved that in order to effectively combat all manifestations of professional deformity, along with the norms of the law, there are norms of disciplinary statutes and codes of ethical conduct. The exchange of professional experience within the country and abroad, the formation of an appropriate level of ethical, moral and professional culture in the free economic zone, the focus on dominance in the professional activities of the anthropological factor will significantly reduce the distortion of professional consciousness of a lawyer. Key words: professional deformation of a lawyer, professional consciousness, legal culture, legal consciousness, internal imperative of official duty, external imperative of official duty.

Manifestations of professional maladaptation and emotional burnout syndrome among internship doctors

The relevance of this work is in the fact that when identifying professional maladaptation and the systemic nature of the “emotional burnout” syndrome manifestations, actions must be developed for their prevention. Otherwise, there will be manifestations of young doctors' professional deformation, depersonalization phenomena, and a deterioration in the quality of life. All this can lead to the risk of outflow of young personnel from the profession. The reform of the medical personnel training system in Ukraine is underway: the time of internship training in a clinic is increasing, and the time for department training is decreasing. The first encounter of the internship doctor with practical activities leads to a number of stresses for them. Signs of professional maladaptation appear. This leads to the emergence of the “burnout” syndrome. All these factors may result in the outflow of young personnel from the profession. A study of the first-year interns' group (n=181) was conducted. A significant degree of emotional burnout symptoms development and a significant level of professional maladaptation manifestations were revealed. It is proposed to integrate mandatory courses for professional development of the personality with the formation of competencies for adaptation, prevention of emotional burnout, self-regulation of psycho-emotional states into the system of an internship doctors training.

ПСИХОЕМОЦІЙНА НАПРУЖЕНІСТЬ ЯК ДЕТЕРМІНАНТА ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ДЕФОРМАЦІЇ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПОЛІЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ

The article states that in the context of the formation of a modern legal system, democratization of law-enforcement institutions, proclamation of a course of maximum efficiency of the rights and freedoms of citizens protection, one of the leading priorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is the procedure of the creation of a highly professional staff capable of effectively solving law enforcement tasks. Transformation of public administration, profound changes in the personnel structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, changes in the essence, goals and functional orientation of law enforcement activities require an expansion of the scope of research on the problems of professionalization in this area. Activity is an integral part of a person's lifestyle, an important factor in its formation and development as a member of society and an individual. Professional tasks execution, along with the maximum concentration on the positive results, can lead to side effects. One of them is professional deformation, which objectively represents not a fatal, but a really probable expense, the so-called shadow side of the profession. Subjectively, it is a tribute that a person unwillingly pays for excessive specialization, unquenchable passion for activities, the maximum level of demands to herself. Professional deformation can occur as a result of any activity. But most often, according to the different research, it affects representatives of such professions that involve activities of the type "man-man": teachers, actors, service workers, lawyers. This problem is highly important for law enforcement agencies because their representatives are dealing with intense deformation influence. Professional deformation as one of the complex and multisided problems of law enforcement requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary solution of legal, managerial, psychological and other tasks. The professionalism of law enforcement personnel lags behind the growing demands of reality, so today, under the influence of a complex operational environment and criminalization of state life, the research under such problem of professionalization of personnel as the professional deformation of the employee and related problems of organization and management in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is becoming increasingly important.

Some Aspects of Research on Interpersonal Relationships and Motivations of Healthcare Professionals

The modern theory and practice of medicine, as well as a number of other ecological (helping) disciplines and practices, have been supplemented by a very productive area called “evidence-based medicine”. Its occurrence is associated with a large number of bioethical problems, including the problem of the conflict of interests between a doctor and a patient. A conflict of interest is born as a result of conflicting motives of relationships and interactions between the activities of a medical worker. The contradiction of interests and motives of activity is manifested in the phenomena of professional psychological burnout and professional deformations. The article highlights the main motives contributing to the conflict of interest, as well as ways of preventing and correcting conflicts of interest in connection with the implementation of these motives. Among the main motives, one can name the motives associated with the unresolved personal and interpersonal problems of a specialist: his need for power and control, for confirmation and for belonging.

Исследование взаимосвязи профессиональной деформации, самоотношения и рефлексивности личности у сотрудников организаций

The article examines the research in theory and practice on the problem of professional burnout, which can contribute to the professional deformation of the personality, which leads to a distortion of the personal qualities of a specialist, if one does not take into account the peculiarities of a person's self-attitude, in particular in professional activity. These indicators will indicate the degree of development of personal reflexivity, which allows a person not only to analyze experienced events, but to form a further effective model of behavior.

Pearson's correlation analysis revealed in the first group (HR department) the presence of an inverse relationship between the scale of “depersonalization” and the scale of autosympathy, as well as between “emotional exhaustion” and the scale of “self-confidence”. The respondents of the second group (development department) are characterized by the presence of a direct correlation between the scale of "reduction of professionalism" and "autosympathy".

Psychological Features of Police Officers’ Conflict Behavior: Gender Aspect

To date, there are no scientifically sound recommendations for resolving conflicts in law enforcement activity, there are no methods for resolving conflicts, and there are no means for managing the conflict behavior of police officers taking into account the gender aspect.
 The purpose of the work is to conduct a comprehensive study of psychological characteristics of conflict behavior of police officers taking into account the gender aspect. Theoretical and empirical methods were used in the work. According to the results of conducted theoretical analysis the author has noted the psychological and moral preconditions for conflict prevention with the participation of police officers taking into account the gender aspect.
 According to the method of “Personal Aggression and Conflict” the highest rates in the first group (police officers – women) were obtained on the scale of “conflict”. The lowest rates among women are on the scale of “negative aggression”. The highest rates in the second group (police officers – men) – were on the scales of “conflict” and “positive aggression”. The lowest rates were on the “negative aggression” scale.
 The highest rate on the scale of “adaptation” according to the method of “Diagnosis of Style of Behavior in Conflicts” (K. Thomas) is both among women and men. Women and men according to the “rivalry” scale have a low rate.
 The highest rate for women according to the method of “Diagnosis of Conflict Resolution Strategies" was on the “adaptation” scale. The highest rate among men was the scale of “cooperation”. Prevention rates among women are low. Men have the lowest rate on the “competition” scale.
 Analyzing the results of the study of the style of behavior of police officers in conflict situations within the gender aspect, it was found out that the higher the tendency to avoid conflict, the less are manifestations of styles of rivalry, cooperation and adaptation. At the same time, as the length of service increases, the tendency to adaptive style of behavior in conflict situations increases, which may be associated with manifestations of professional deformation and burnout; strategies of compromise and avoidance in conflict situations are in the lead.

Professional staff activation as a scientific problem

The current state of development of professional activation's problem in professional development and formation of personnel, including public service personnel, has been investigated in the article. On the basis of the carried out research it is possible to investigate the maintenance, system of display, functions of professional activation, and factors of influence on it that are now known to a science.It has been noted by the author that only in a small number of scientific, educational and popular science publications it is possible to find specific interpretations of the «activation» concept. It has been concluded that the main emphasis in modern scientific research is directed mainly on the value, orientation, guiding and motivational (stimulating) functions of professional activation. But such an approach cannot be considered sufficient, as the professional activation is more important and more manifested in the professional activities of personnel, so it includes more functions.The study of features, content, functional, activity manifestations and characteristics of professional activation has been made in the article. An attempt to carry out a systematic analysis of professional activation from the standpoint of its users and the impact on other processes in the overall process of professional development and staffing of public administration has been made. It has been concluded that professional motivation and professional activation are different things. It is possible to activate for a short time an unmotivated or insufficiently motivated employee. Motivation creates more changes in the time of work resumption, activation as a "background", as ancillary support has less duration. However, activation can link the entire structure of professional activity from defining the purpose (goal) of activity and ending with its control and reflection. Activation can be handled as a separate general function of the management process. To activate the staff, from the author's point of view, it is possible to use various tools and technologies to work with staff, aimed primarily at: career guidance, assessment, adaptation, training, education.Professional activation promotes the development of professionalism and professional mobility of a person or promotes their further activity due to professional deformation. This is an important function of the professional environment and the corresponding system of measures aimed at actualizing the issues of professional self-determination and development of an individual visitor in the position. This is external support for development, motivation, joint orientation in professions, adaptation, evaluation, training and education of employees on the path of professional development. The response to the influence of the external environment is the formation of self-activation of the individual which includes its professional manifestations.

The Spread of the Prison Subculture as a Driver of Its Destructive Influence on the Personality of Young Correctional Officers

Introduction: we study the negative impact of the prison subculture on the personality of a correctional officer. Amid the social crisis caused by the collapse of the USSR the prison subculture started to penetrate into popular culture. This was reflected in the widespread use of prison slang, increased interest in the way of “thieves’ life”, and the popularization and romanticization of crime bosses. Behind all this was the devaluation of the norms of law and the state, and the distortion of the status of the penal system officer. Aim: on the basis of generalization of modern experience in studying the impact of the prison subculture, we describe main directions aimed at preventing the destructive impact of the prison subculture on the personality of young correctional staff. The article deals with the issue of modern dissemination of the prison subculture among young people via the mass media, the Internet and oral transmission of information. Methods: we use empirical data collection methods (questionnaires, conversations, interviews), and methods of statistical analysis and system analysis of the data collected. Results: the findings of our research show that the prison subculture infects not only disadvantaged teenagers, but also young people from a socially favorable environment, who then enter departmental universities and serve in correctional institutions. Infection is assessed by the degree of internal involvement of a young person in the prison subculture. In the lightest form of this infection, they simply are well informed about what it is, know the meaning of prison slang expressions, understand the logic of the functioning of groups of inmates, and are favorably disposed toward these phenomena. When the infection is more complex, future and young correctional officers not only demonstrate awareness and tolerance, but also consider the prison subculture necessary and useful; they do not condemn colleagues who use it in solving official tasks and are themselves ready, if necessary, to act in this way. Discussion: general awareness of the specifics of the prison subculture is necessary for the penal system officer, but it should remain a professional knowledge that helps to assess social relations in the group and the operational situation in the correctional institution adequately. At the same time, the prison subculture should receive an objective assessment as an anti-humanistic and anti-legal phenomenon. Therefore, there is a need for systematic and targeted work to prevent the spread and deforming effects of the prison subculture among cadets of departmental universities and young correctional officers. Keywords: Subculture; prison subculture; inmates; correctional institutions; cadets; correctional officers; prevention of professional deformation; correction of the personality of a penal officer
