FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL ORIENTATION OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SPHERE

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of forming the professional orientation of future specialists in the socionomic sphere. The purpose of the study is to reveal the essence of personality orientation and the peculiarities of the formation of professional orientation among specialists in socionomic professions. Research methods applied: theoretical ‒ study of scientific literature, analysis, systematization, comparison, generalization of the obtained information. It was established that in the most general sense, the orientation of the individual is understood as a set of stable motives that orient the activity of the individual and determine its selectivity and activity. The orientation of a person is characterized by his beliefs, ideals, interests, inclinations, which express the individualʼs worldview. In their structure, these types of orientation contain needs, attitudes, and relationships. If we are talking about the orientation of an individual when performing a specific activity, then the concept of «professional orientation» is used. Being an important aspect of the general orientation of the individual, the professional orientation represents a set of needs, attitudes, interests, ideals, beliefs and determines the choice of life goals. To form a professional orientation in future specialists means to strengthen in them a positive attitude towards the future profession, interest, inclination and ability to it, the desire to improve their qualifications after graduating from an educational institution, to develop ideals, views, beliefs, the prestige of the profession in the eyes of the future specialist. In the multi-functional activity of a specialist in the socio-economic sphere, professional training, his ability to design his activity, effectively solve complex professional tasks, and creatively approach the matter are priorities. The personality of the future specialist is formed and developed simultaneously with his professional qualities, readiness to fulfill future obligations. We consider the category «readiness» as two interdependent components: the individualʼs readiness for activity and the individualʼs readiness for professional self-development. The readiness of the future specialist in the socio-economic sphere for professional activity is determined by: psychological readiness, scientific-professional, practical, psychophysiological, physical.

The Epidemic of Non-Suicidal Self-Harm in Adolescents and Young Adults in the Kyrgyz Republic

Introduction During the last two years, many young people and adolescents in the Kyrgyz Republic started to visit specialists due to Non-suicidal self-harm. A significant rise in the amount of such cases allowed specialists from the Republican Center of Psychiatry in Bishkek to think about an “epidemic “of self-harming behavior. Non-suicidal self-harm (NSSH) is defined as repeated, deliberate, direct injury to the body without suicidal intent that is not socially acceptable (Nixon et al., 2002) to reduce psychological discomfort in the absence of a conscious intention to take one’s life (ICD-10 codes X60-X84, and ICD-11 codes PB80-PD3Z).ObjectivesTo determine the causes of NSSH among adolescents and young adults who approached specialists in mental health sphere at Institute of Behavioral Health at the American University of Central Asia.MethodsOver two years, forty-five adolescents and young adults under twenty-five who had committed self-harm visited specialists from the Behavioral Health Institute at the American University of Central Asia.All the patients received either dialectical behavioral treatment or cognitive processing treatment, medication (paroxetine) was used in three cases.ResultsThirty patients were girls under twenty-one, and fifteen were boys and young male adults. The overwhelming majority (40 people) had self-inflicted cuts, two had imposed burns with matches and cigarettes, and one had used self-suffocation without a bond. Reasons for self-harm were the following: releasing internal tension and anxiety, getting some rest from intrusive thoughts, relieving the inner pain, and a desire to “feel as a whole person.” All the patients underlined that they did not want to attract attention from their family members; moreover, they tried to hide the consequences of self-harm. Teens and young adults (twelve patients) from Kyrgyz traditional families visited a consultant or psychiatrist after a long drive through conventional or religious healers. All of the patients knew that they were addicted to self-harm, wanted to stop a problematic behavior, and could not stop it on their own. Ten patients have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Two of them also had eating disorders. Five patients had PTSD, and five had social phobia. The others had recognizable anxiety symptoms.ConclusionsThe enormous rise of non-suicidal self-harm is a phenomenon that needs further research. Those cases often resist treatment due to the “addictive” component in the pathogenesis.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
