Cognitive and emotional impairments associated with COVID-19 (literature review)

Background. Currently, there are two main areas of study of the impact of a new coronavirus infection on mental processes: the first is in connection with the regime of self-isolation and restrictions in a pandemic; the second – with the impact of the pathological process itself and the post-covid syndrome on the central nervous system. The results of the studies indicate the relationship of this infection with local lesions of the brain and the corresponding disturbances in the functioning of mental processes.The aim of the research. To systematize and analyze the results of studies on the main routes of penetration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus into the central nervous system, cognitive and emotional disorders in people who have recovered from COVID-19, and to discuss the areas of psychological rehabilitation for this group of patients.Materials and methods. Information search was carried out using Internet resources (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, bmj.com, eLibrary.ru, frontiersin.org, sciencedirect. com, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), literature sources were analyzed for the period from May of 2020 to November of 2021 for the following keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, cognitive functions, cognitions, cognitive impairments, emotional dysfunction, affective dysfunction.Results. According to the analysis of the literature, most researchers identify the neurogenic pathway of SARS-CoV-2 penetration into the CNS, as well as penetration through the bloodstream or through cerebral lymphatic drainage, which are a possible cause of mental disorders of a neurological nature. Correction of these violations involves the creation of a comprehensive system of rehabilitation with the inclusion of psychotherapeutic methods.Conclusions. Despite the lack of a single picture describing the specifics of cognitive and affective symptoms in COVID-19, in the most general terms, there is a certain consensus. So, quite often, post-COVID cognitive symptoms are characterized by impaired memory and attention, and post-COVID affective symptoms are characterized by increased levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. The issues of diagnosis and correction of disorders in post-COVID syndrome and the admissibility of the existence of this diagnosis are still relevant.

Основні напрямки медико-психологічної реабілітації учасників бойових дій

The war in Ukraine actualized the problem of post-traumatic stress disorder. Comprehensive rehabilitation of combatants after the end of hostilities, that is, after the termination of the stressor, is of particular importance for society. Reducing the impact of the consequences of traumatic stress on somatic health and preventing psychosomatic pathology in these patients is an important task of medicine. The purpose of the study was to analyze the main directions of medical and psychological rehabilitation of combatants and measures to improve them. Materials and methods. A review of the literature in specialized publications and the Internet was carried out. Results and discussion. Medical and psychological rehabilitation of combatants should include several areas: diagnosis of the syndrome of socio-psychological maladaptation; psychological counseling; psychological correction; training in self-regulation skills; socio-psychological trainings; assistance in professional self-determination, career guidance for retraining and subsequent employment. The medical and psychological rehabilitation of combatants should be based on the main provisions of the integrative coping concept, according to which overcoming stress is a process in which an individual attempts to change or eliminate the problem, to reduce its intensity by changing their point of view on it, to ease its impact by distracting themselves from something or using other various coping methods. Conclusion. The results obtained clearly proved that today the rehabilitation of only the physical condition of patients is no longer relevant, since without taking into account the psychological status of the individual, its social adaptation, it is impossible to talk about the full functioning of the individual. All combatants will have to go through a period of social and psychological rehabilitation. The implementation of the Concept of the State Target Program for the physical, medical, psychological, social rehabilitation and professional readaptation of combatants requires the implementation of organizational and legal measures related to the conduct of targeted and coordinated actions on the part of government bodies, executive authorities, local governments, non-state institutions and organizations, and on a nationwide scale should provide medical, social and economic efficiency. The system of providing medical and psychological assistance and rehabilitation of combatants actions in terms of material, technical and personnel support should be considered as a component of the national security of the state

Research progress in circadian rhythms in the application of psychological rehabilitation of cancer patients.

The psychological distress of cancer patients seriously affects their therapeutic effects. Effective psychological rehabilitation of cancer patients significantly improves their survival chance and quality of life. Circadian rhythm results from adaptation to the environment during the organism's evolution. When the endogenous clock system is disrupted or the external environment is changed, the body and the environment are out of synchronization, and the circadian rhythm will be disrupted. Circadian rhythm disorder is a common phenomenon in cancer patients, and the changes of circadian rhythm are closely related to their psychological distress. Many studies believe that the circadian rhythm disorder of cancer patients may directly or indirectly affect their psychology through various mechanisms, and targeted intervention by regulating the circadian rhythm of patients may be an essential means to promote the psychological rehabilitation.

Social and Psychological Rehabilitation of War Veterans

The subject of the study is determined by the need for effective rehabilitation of war veterans and the presence of many problems of sociopsychological recovery after being in the zone of active combat operations, and the need to develop an effective rehabilitation programme for this category of people. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the features of socio-psychological rehabilitation, identify the relationship of physiological states with individual psychological components of the individual’s functioning in specific conditions of life, determine which measures are most effective for the establishment of areas of work in the aspect of socio-psychological rehabilitation of war veterans. The basis of the methodological approach in this study is the analysis and generalisation based on the results of the examination of scientific and theoretical material, which determines the establishment of conclusions and recommendations in the field under study. The following methods of scientific knowledge are used: dialectical, logical-semantic, system-structural, functional, and logicalnormative. The study proves the direct connection between the presence of a person in a war zone and their psychoemotional state. It is considered which psychophysiological disorders can be caused by involvement in armed conflicts. The conclusion is formulated that participants in military operations need social and psychological rehabilitation, and problematic issues and prospects for rehabilitation are outlined. Specific medical and socio-psychological aspects are highlighted, the avoidance or generation of which will help in the process of rehabilitation of military personnel and their families. It was identified that although psychological rehabilitation is generally conducted, it requires more government support, popularisation, and wider involvement of both war veterans and experts. Ways to improve approaches to providing psychological assistance to military personnel and their families in Ukraine are proposed. The conclusions of the study are of substantial importance for psychologists and social workers, psychology students and teaching staff of psychology faculties as a doctrinal basis for the educational process

FEATURES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE UKRAINIAN POPULATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF OPPOSING THE AGGRESSOR

The purpose of the study is to determine the socio-psychological factors influencing the effectiveness of social-psychological assistance to the Ukrainian population in wartime conditions and their possible approbation as the use of relevant experience to ensure effective professional training of future psychologists in higher educational institutions. Research tasks: 1) determination of the social and psychological needs of the war-affected population of Ukraine; 2) determination of the level of social and psychological provision of assistance to victims; 3) determination of the conditions and means of ensuring the development of social and psychological assistance to the affected population. To solve the research task – to determine the level, conditions and means of ensuring the development of socio-psychological assistance to the affected population, the following research methods were used: theoretical analysis, synthesis and applied research using standardized methods. The state of readiness of Ukrainian psychologists to provide appropriate assistance to the population, development of the necessary psychological and methodological materials was analyzed. The peculiarities of psychological assistance to the injured are highlighted using the example of one of the first psychologists who developed a methodical guide aimed at the psychological and mental rehabilitation of injured Ukrainians. Emphasis is placed on psychological diagnosis and individual and group psychocorrection, psychotherapy (primary psychological assistance to displaced persons, assessment of the severity of the impact of a traumatic event, self-assessment of the level of depression in psychological diagnosis, short psychotherapy in an individual and complex multi-directional approach to getting out of a traumatized state in group work with displaced persons) and the importance of the positive influence on the development of this assistance of the relevant personal and professional qualities and properties of future psychologists. In order to identify the conditions and means of ensuring the development of socio-psychological assistance to the affected population, a number of methods were used in the study: 1) "Self-esteem" test (by S.A. Budassi); 2) Method "Self-assessment of mental state: well-being, general activity, mood (SAN)" (authors: V.A. Doskin, N.A. Lavrentyeva, V.B. Sharay, M.P. Miroshnikov); 3) "Scale of reactive and personal anxiety" (developed by C.D. Spielberger, adapted by Y.L. Khanin); 4) "Professional identity study methodology (MVPI) (author L.B. Schneider). 178 students of the III-IV courses of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology of the National Pedagogical University named after M.P. Drahomanov and 5th courses of the Faculty of Psychology named after T.G. Shevchenko and the Faculty of English of the National Linguistic University. From the analysis of the conducted methods, it was found that the researched future psychologists, who are oriented to practical activities under the guidance of mentors, have inadequately inflated self-esteem, an average level of cognitive activity, and an average level of anxiety during training, which correlates with an insufficient level of development of their professional self-identity. This indicates an inadequately inflated self-esteem, insufficient self-determination, inadequate self-satisfaction, self-expression, and insufficient self-regulation of the subjects during training. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to creating conditions, finding means to increase opportunities for future psychologists to achieve a conscious, positive professional identity at the stage of educational and professional training, as this is an important basis for the effective formation of their professional identity in the future, as future reliable qualified specialists, the professional level of which will meet public demands, the needs of psychological assistance to victims of the war in the country. Keywords: socio-psychological assistance, psychological-methodical support, professional self-identity, personal-professional qualities and attributes, future psychologist

Digital health systems: SMART-system for remote support of hybrid E-rehabilitation services and activities

The top-priority challenges were faced by the medical rehabilitation system in Ukraine. Particularly important tasks include, first of all, the rehabilitation of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 disease and people with Combat stress reaction. This fact is well understood both by the society and the leadership of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, which is creating a special working group on this problem. Ukraine has a system of medical and prophylactic institutions designed for psychological and physical rehabilitation of military personnel; these use modern rehabilitation technologies. However, long-term rehabilitation in such centers is not available to everyone. Therefore, the use of telerehabilitation technology for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder and similar disorders in com- bination with a means of objective control of the functional state is extremely important. One of the most effective solutions in medical rehabilitation assistance is remote patient / person-centered rehabilitation. Rehabilitation also needs effective methods for the "Physical therapist – Patient – Multidisciplinary team" system, including the statistical processing of large volumes of data. Therefore, along with the traditional means of rehabilitation, as part of the "Transdisciplinary intelligent information and analytical system for the rehabilitation processes support in a pandemic (TISP)" in this paper, we introduce and define: the revised and completed basic concepts of the hybrid e-rehabilitation notion and its fundamental foundations; the formalization concept of the new Smart-system for remote support of hybrid e-rehabilitation services and activities; and the methodological foundations for the use of services (UkrVectōrēs and vHealth) of the remote Patient / Person- centered Smart-system. The software implementation of the services of the Smart-system has been developed.

The features of social and autonomic adaptation to study conditions depending on age, gender and socio-pedagogical educational environment

The study is concerned with a pressing issue of assessing social adaptation (SA) and autonomic stability (AS) in the young people studying in various educational institutions. It is necessary to determine the students’ social adaptation and autonomic stability at different ages. The study included 100 schoolchildren who living in the big city; 89 schoolchildren living in rural areas; 70 schoolchildren living and studying in the city boarding school. The schoolchildren were aged 14–15. The group of youth included 248 first‑year students aged 17–18 and 136 6th year students aged 22–23. The study was performed with the use of the two‑factor personality questionnaire by M. Gavlinova approved by the European Union for School and University Health and Medicine and adapted to Russian conditions. The authors provide data for determination of social adaptation and autonomic stability in young people aged 17–23. When analyzing the findings, it was found that the differences in social adaptation and autonomic stability between schoolchildren were partially dependent on their gender, type of learning, and place of residence. Given equal starting opportunities in young males and females in the beginning of high school training, young males showed higher SA and AS values compared to young females by the end of training. A group was distinguished that included students showing low SA and AS values, which, in our view, required psychological and medical rehabilitation. Given the findings, we believe that physicians should further examine the patients with low AS values, and psychologists (neuropsychiatrists) should further assess patients with low SA values during medical check‑ups in order to ensure prevention and management of the disorders identified in schoolchildren and students.

Professional Activities of Practical Psychologists: Philosophical Counseling in the Context of Postmodernism

The current state of Ukrainian society is characterized by socio-economic instability, there are dynamic, unique processes in which each person is involved. In this connection, there are increasing demands on the professionalism of specialists in the field of practical psychology, their philosophical counseling in the context of postmodernism, aimed at helping people become the subject of their life, work, social and value relationships, to teach them to find meanings and maximize self-actualization. This is represented in the change of priorities in the professional development of practical psychologists, its focus on the development of specialists' subjectivity, their ability to independently solve professional and life tasks. An important role in enhancing the development of professionalism is the understanding of the essential characteristics of existential professional activity, expressed most often in professional meanings and values. The basis of a meaningful professional and personal life is the key ability of the practical psychologist to see and accept the needs of the profession and life and to find the most correct explanations for them. The purpose of the article is to investigate the importance and necessity of the activity of a practical psychologist, its peculiarities, the study of types of psychological aid: counseling, psychological rehabilitation, correction, psychotherapy, training, education and prevention; as well as the need to identify the main areas of professional activity of practical psychologists in the context of postmodernism.

Clinical Effectiveness of Home-Based Telerehabilitation Program for Geriatric Hip Fracture Following Total Hip Replacement.

To compare the effectiveness of a six-month home-based telerehabilitation based on the Internet-based rehabilitation management system coupled with conventional outpatient care in elderly patients with hip fractures following total hip replacement (THR). Elderly patients (aged over 65 years) with first hip fractures who underwent THR between March 2018 and September 2018 in Tianjin Hospital were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: telerehabilitation group (n=43) and telephone group (n=42). A Internet-based telerehabilitation management system was established and applied on patients in the telerehabilitation group. For patients in the telephone group, the rehabilitation intervention was administered through conventional outpatient care (telephone along with outpatient follow-up). Data from the Harris hip scale (HHS), functional independence measure (FIM), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and postoperative complications at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were collected and compared between the two groups. A total of 85 elderly patients completed the 6-month follow-up assessment. Results showed that the HHS score was significantly higher in the telerehabilitation group than in the telephone group at 1 month (66.35 ± 4.63 vs 63.48 ± 4.49), 3 months (76.33 ± 4.52 vs 71.81 ± 3.84), and 6 months (84.23 ± 3.13 vs 77.29 ± 4.95) after surgery (P < 0.001). The FIM score was significantly higher in the telerehabilitation group than in the telephone group at 1 month (89.00 ± 5.63 vs 73.35 ± 8.70), 3 months (100.16 ± 4.56 vs 92.81 ± 5.17), and 6 months (111.70 ± 3.13 vs 98.64 ± 5.12) after surgery (P < 0.001). The SAS score was significantly lower in the telerehabilitation group than in the telephone group at 1 month (42.40 ± 3.07 vs 46.21 ± 3.53), 3 months (36.77 ± 2.26 vs 40.24 ± 1.66), and 6 months (29.26 ± 1.63 vs 33.81 ± 2.62) after surgery (P < 0.001). The overall complication rate was significantly lower in the telerehabilitation group than in the telephone group (14% vs 40.5%) (P < 0.05). Internet-based rehabilitation management system can not only promote the physical rehabilitation of patients, but also play a positive role in psychological rehabilitation and the prevention of complications, which provides new ideas and methods for clinical rehabilitation.

Postburn Reconstruction of the Face and Neck.

After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the cardinal principles in the management of postburn deformities in the face and neck. 2. Understand reconstruction of specific subsites in the face and neck affected by burn contracture. 3. Acquire knowledge about the various techniques of burn reconstruction of the face and neck. 4. Grasp technical nuances and select appropriate surgical options for individual cases. Postburn contractures in the face and neck region are multifactorial in origin and difficult to prevent in extensive burns. Facial burns lead to distortion of anatomical landmarks, causing aesthetic, functional, and psychological problems. Each subunit of the face is unique in structure; thus, the surgeon needs to adjust the timing of surgery and the technique according to region and the severity of contracture. Contracture of one unit, especially that of the neck and forehead, can exaggerate the contracture in neighboring subunits. The role of these extrinsic influences must be considered while sequencing surgical procedures. The burn surgeon must be adept in all reconstructive surgery techniques from skin grafting to tissue expanders to microsurgery to obtain the best outcomes. Surgery must be followed up with long-term physical therapy and psychological rehabilitation to help burn survivors with head and neck contractures to integrate back into society.

Cardiac Rehabilitation to Prevent Rehospitalization in Myocardial Infarction Patients

Introduction. There is mounting evidence that cardiac rehabilitation (CR) based on physical activity has a positive influence on the degree of disability and level of quality of life, in addition to playing an important and beneficial role in modifying morbidity and mortality.&#x0D; Discussion. Patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction, are candidates for cardiac rehabilitation as an essential component of their care. Clinical evaluation, optimization of pharmacotherapy, physical training, psychological rehabilitation, evaluation and reduction of coronary disease risk factors, lifestyle modification, and patient education are the components that should be included in comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation. Immediately following the acute phase of a myocardial infarction, the designated team (consisting of a physician, physiotherapist, nurse, psychologist, dietician, and social worker) should begin comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation. This rehabilitation should contain individualized programs that are designed to optimize the patient's physical, psychological, social, and emotional status. It is recommended that the modern model of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation be started as soon as possible, continued for the required amount of time, properly staged, and individualized depending on the clinical status of the patients.&#x0D; Conclusion. Cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction is an exercise method that could improve the post myocardial infarct patient’s living quality, includes increasing cardiac ejection fraction, exercise tolerance, and physical status. Therefore, it can decrease rate of rehospitalization in patient post myocardial infarct.

Динамика симптомов посттравматического стресса у сотрудников полиции, выполнявших оперативно-служебные задачи в особых условиях

The article features of dynamics of post-traumatic symptoms and displays of personal desadaptation of the police officers who have carried out operational and service tasks in special conditions are considered. The empirical study involved 195 police officers aged from 26 to 32 years. Techniques: the standardized multifactorial method of research of the personality (L.N. Sobchik), the questionnaire of traumatic stress I.O. Kotenev. As a result of research it is established, that over time, changes of personal features, posttraumatic symptoms often proceed latently in the form of progredient (towards increase or decrease) or "wave-like" orientation (with alternation of periods of improvement and deterioration of a condition). Symptoms of "intrusion", "avoidance" and physiological hyperexcitability increase from the moment of performance of operational and service tasks in special conditions, and stabilize after three years. Neurotic control, pessimism and social introversion increase linearly. Optimism, distress and flashbacks of psychotraumatic events decrease progrediently. In the post-traumatic period from 1.5 to 3 years, the number of persons with signs of emotional lability, rigidity, non-productive tension and chronic fatigue grows. After 4 years, impulsiveness and aggravation increase, and the ability to withstand emotional stresses decreases. Practical recommendations for psychological rehabilitation of the specified negative manifestations are offered.

Valuing the insider-professional perspective of disability: A call for rehabilitation psychologists to support disabled psychologists and trainees across the profession.

In this commentary, I call for rehabilitation psychologists to support and advocate for trainees and psychologists with disabilities across the profession as an extension of the foundational principles of the study. I reviewed the literature on psychologists and psychology trainees with disabilities, as well as the foundational principles of rehabilitation psychology. A growing body of literature documents both the presence of psychologists and psychology trainees with disabilities and the barriers that they often encounter in the field. One of the foundational principles of rehabilitation psychology and the acknowledgment of the insider-outsider perspective of disability, which holds that disabled individuals, by nature of their lived experience, have unique perspectives on disability that enrich our overall understanding of it. Through their combination of lived experience and professional expertise, disabled psychologists and trainees bring a critical insider-professional perspective to the field, both inside and outside of rehabilitation psychology. It is both important and in line with our foundational principles that rehabilitation psychologists advocate for psychologists and trainees with disabilities in all settings, so that their important insider-professional perspective on disability can continue to advance the field.

Relations among gratitude, adaptation to disability, and flourishing among adults with disabilities: A longitudinal mediation model.

Flourishing, a primary outcome of rehabilitation psychology, is understudied among adults with disabilities. Gratitude has emerged as an individual strength that is both malleable and robust in predicting flourishing and adaptation to disability. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of gratitude on flourishing over time and to analyze the potential mediating role of adaptation to disability on this relationship for a group of adults with disabilities. Data were collected at 3 time points over 21 months (N = 429). A single mediator model with external demographic variables was tested to determine the relationship of gratitude (Time 1) with adaptation to disability (Time 2) and flourishing (Time 3). Approximately 40% of the initial sample was retained across all time points. Gratitude predicted later flourishing and adaptation to disability accounted for a significant portion of this relationship, accounting for 27% of the total effect. Results of this single mediator model indicate that adaptation to disability serves as a partial mediator of the relationship between gratitude and flourishing, with both gratitude and adaptation to disability having a significantly positive influence on flourishing. Understanding gratitude's influence on later adaptation and flourishing provides data to inform rehabilitation psychology interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

The experimental group received 8 sessions of 60 minutes of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (individual and online) but the control group received no intervention. The research tools were the DASS-21 and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC). Data were analyzed using a mixed analysis test and Ben Foroni post hoc test using SPSS version 23 software. Results: The results showed that MBCT in the post-test positively affected the resilience (F=30.31, P=0.001) and negatively affected the psychological distress (F=120.70, P=0.001) of those who Recovered from COVID-19. This therapeutic effect continued until the follow-up phase. According to the results, MBCT is effective in increasing resilience and reducing psychological distress and a significant difference is observed between the experimental and control groups (P=0.01). Conclusion: Based on the findings, MBCT is effective in increasing resilience and reducing psychological distress after illness and the use of this model can be useful in the psychological rehabilitation of those who have recovered from COVID-19.

Psychological rehabilitation for cancer patients: from the origins to the present

Cancer patients may suffer from severe distress that results in low mood, lack of energy and fatigue, and reduces the effectiveness of treatment. For a favorable outcome, they need rehabilitation to help them cope with the psychological effects of cancer. A psycho-oncologist is a specialist who provides psychological support and care for cancer patients and their relatives.The first studies demonstrating the efficacy of psychotherapy and rehabilitation in cancer patients were conducted in the last third of the 20th century both in Russia and overseas. Nowadays, available techniques used all over the world include cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and creative visualization.
