EXAMINING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FALLOUT OF COMBAT STRESS ON MILITARY PERSONNEL
УДК 159.9
Abstract
The article delves into how combat stress impacts the adaptive traits of military personnel in the aftermath of extreme situations. It focuses on the psychological aspects of combat-related challenges, analyzing the perspectives of A. G. Karayani, I. V. Syromyatnikov, L. A. Kitaev-Smyk, P.A. Korchemny, R.V. Kadyrova, and A.G. Maklakova. Emphasizing the importance of a structured psychological transition for combatants back to civilian life to mitigate posttraumatic stress disorders and maladjustment, the study conducted an empirical analysis. Various assessment tools were employed, including the Buss-Durkee hostility inventory (adapted by S.N. Enikolopov), I.I. Prikhodko’s method for psychological security diagnostics, K. Rogers and R. Diamond’s method for socio-psychological adaptation diagnosis, and J. Taylor's anxiety scale (adapted by V. G. Norakidze). Additionally, the study utilized the 'Spiritual Crisis' methods by L.V. Shutova and A.V. Lyashuk. The results shed light on the psychological aftermath of military personnel's involvement in combat situations during special military operations. While some servicemen successfully readjust to civilian life post-combat stress, others encounter challenges in adaptation.
