Abstract
The problem of studying the domestic and foreign experience of providing psychological assistance to military personnel participating in hostilities was highlighted. It is noted that such work should be carried out by the relevant specialists (first of all military psychologists and physicians) at the stage of withdrawal of military personnel from the area of combat operations. Psychological rehab is considered as a kind of assistance provided by a qualified psychologist to a person or group of people in order to optimize psychophysiological conditions, cognitive processes, behavior, communication, the implementation of individual and, especially, group activities. Three conceptual approaches to providing psychological assistance in combat situations are analyzed - American, Israeli and Russian systems. The psychological states of the subjects (soldiers who participated in combat operations in the ATO zone) were determined using the method "Self-assessment of mental states" (G. Eysenka) in four scales: anxiety, frustration, aggressiveness and rigidity, characterized by high, medium and low levels the manifestation of these states. The generalization of the results of the study of the self-assessment of the mental states of the participants in the fighting showed an increased level of aggressiveness, anxiety, rigidity, frustration; problems in communicating with people and other emotional hardships manifested in all subjects after returning from the area of hostilities. During communication with soldiers ATO, deterioration of their psychological and physical condition after receiving a psychological trauma during the conduct of hostilities was revealed. Prospects for further research on the stated problem will be the improvement of measures that include psychodiagnosis, individual counseling, psychological debriefing, mutual support programs, psycho-correctional work, etc.
