Abstract

Introduction and aim. Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, many Ukrainian military personnel began to show post-traumatic stress (PTS). The purpose of the article is to identify the features of PTS exhibited in different age groups in trauma-exposed military personnel during their participation in the psychological recovery program (“Invincibility Program”). Material and methods. Ukrainian Defense Forces military personnel (n=546 males, between 20 and 60 years of age) participated in this study. All participants were divided into three age groups. Determination of the features of PTS in military personnel was carried out using psychodiagnostic tests. Results. In each age group, more than half of the participants in the “Invincibility Program” had PTS characteristics such as the sub-threshold or clinical manifestations of PTSD, adjustment disorders, low resilience to combat mental trauma, and various sleep disorders combined with somatic complaints. The data showed higher features of PTS in the younger participants and they decreased in both the 2 older sets of participants. Conclusion. The age-related features of the manifestation of PTS in military personnel must be taken into account when developing psychological recovery programs: for younger participants, such events should be carried out longer and more intensively.
军事人员在参加俄乌战争敌对行动后的创伤后应激表现
导言和目的。自俄乌战争开始以来,许多乌克兰军人开始出现创伤后应激反应(PTS)。本文旨在确定不同年龄段的受创伤军人在参加心理康复计划("无敌计划")期间所表现出的创伤后应激反应的特征。材料与方法乌克兰国防军军事人员(n=546 名男性,年龄在 20 至 60 岁之间)参与了本研究。所有参与者被分为三个年龄组。通过心理诊断测试确定军人创伤后应激障碍的特征。结果显示在每个年龄组中,半数以上的 "无敌计划 "参与者都具有创伤后应激障碍的特征,如创伤后应激障碍的阈值以下或临床表现、适应障碍、对抗精神创伤的复原力低下以及各种睡眠障碍合并躯体不适。数据显示,年轻参与者的创伤后应激障碍特征较高,而年龄较大的两组参与者的创伤后应激障碍特征均有所下降。结论在制定心理康复计划时,必须考虑到军人创伤后应激障碍表现的年龄特征:对于年轻的参与者,此类活动应进行得更长、更密集。
