Abstract

Патологическое влечение к азартным играм как вариант нехимической зависимости и табакокурение как один из видов химической аддикции на современном этапе являются актуальной проблемой как в Украине, так и в зарубежных странах, где легализован игорный бизнес. В статье изучены показатели психоэмоционального состояния здоровых молодых людей и игроманов, курящих и некурящих с помощью метода «САН». Среди респондентов, не курящих табак, самочувствие и настроение у здоровых молодых людей получили высокую оценку, а активность – среднюю; у лиц, страдающих лудоманией, показатели самочувствия, активности и настроения находятся в пределах средней оценки. У курящих обследуемых, как здоровых, так и игроманов, достоверных различий по шкалам самочувствия, активности и настроениявыявлено не было: вышеупомянутые показатели соответствуют высокой оценке, что в совокупности с результатами корреляционного анализа доказывает синергию возникновения и функционирования нехимической и химической аддикции. На основании полученных данных сделан вывод об актуальности проведения психогигиенических и психокоррекционных мероприятий среди населения для предотвращения процессов дальнейшей эпидемической экспансии лудомании и табакокурения. Pathological attraction to gambling, as a variant of non-chemical dependence, and smoking, as one of the types of chemical addiction, is a pressing problem today both in Ukraine and in foreign countries, where the gambling business has been legalized. In the article, there are studied the indicators of the psycho-emotional state of healthy young people and gamers, smokers and non- smokers using the method of "WAM". Among respondents, who do not smoke tobacco, health and mood were highly appreciated, and the activity was moderate; in individuals with ludomania, the indicators of well-being, activity and mood were within the average of the assessment. In smokers, both healthy and gamers, there were no significant differences in the scales of well-being, activity and mood: the above indicators correspond to a high score, which together with the results of correlation analysis proves the synergy of the emergence and functioning of non-chemical and chemical addiction. On the base of the obtained data, the conclusion about the relevance of psychohygienic and psychocorrectional measures in the population to prevent the processes of further epidemic expansion of drug addiction and smoking was made.

War is one of the most severe stress factors that can lead to anxiety-depressive disorders, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dysfunctions. 106 students of the I-III courses of the Poltava State Medical University participated in the study of the personal students` characteristics of overcoming military stress in the conditions of a full-scale war in Ukraine. Based on the research results a low level of stress resistance was found in 36.7 ± 0.3% of students, and a marginal level—in 47.2 ± 0.3%. Students with a low stress resistance level demonstrated a high degree of stress load against the background of the predominance of the formation of maladaptive strategies of coping behavior, therefore they belong to the risk group of the development of anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, psychosomatic disorders and adaptation disorders, they need psychological support in order to optimize the psychological resources of the individual to successfully cope with the state of stress, minimizing its negative impact, forming sustainable methods of protective behavior and coping, which in turn will be a guarantee of preserving the health of future employees of the health care system. The ability to effectively cope with stressful situations, using resources of stress resistance, will help students not only to be socially-adapted individuals who make responsible decisions in professional activities and effectively interact with people, but also to maintain health by giving up destructive ways of coping with stress.

The relevance of the research lies in the high social significance of research in the field of revealing mechanisms of destructive behavior formation in adolescence. The study of depth-psychological sphere of personality makes it possible to identify unconscious tendencies reflecting tendencies to destructive behavior, as well as to predict the risks of such manifestations in human behavior. Purpose of the research is the study and presentation of destructive and selfdestructive tendencies in the in-depth psychological sphere of young people living in urban and rural areas. Theoretical research methods are the comparative-analytical method as well as the inductive and deductive methods. Empirical research methods: methods of directed conversation, observation, as well as psychodiagnostic method (method of experimental diagnostics of motives «Szondi-Test»). Statistical processing of the data is carried out both manually and with the help of the software package «Statistica». The analysis of empirically received data indicates that the in-depth psychological sphere and its separate areas reflect the natural course of the crisis period of personal and social development for adolescence. Five conditional personality types of young people are identified: «Normally socialized», «Aggressive», «Destructive and self-destructive», «Passive and dependent», «Regressive and addictive». In analyzing it was found that the probability of destructive and selfdestructive tendencies in rural youth is higher than in urban youth. From the scientific point of view, the research confirms and completes the existing scientific information about the processes and regularities of personality development in adolescence. Scientific novelty of the research is given by the revealed and described in-depth psychological processes and peculiarities of personal and age development of young people.
