Self-assessment of somatic and mental health by instructor-officers under the influence of negative factors of professional activities.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To investigate the impact of negative factors of professional activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine on the somatic and mental health of instructor-officers with different teaching experiences. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: The research involved 131 instructor-officers with different teaching experiences. Three groups of instructor-officers were formed: Group 1 - instructors with up to 10 years of teaching experience (n = 30), Group 2 - instructors with 10 to 20 years of experience (n = 47), Group 3 - instructors with more than 20 years of experience (n = 54). The self-assessment of somatic and mental health was carried out using a questionnaire developed by the authors. RESULTS: Results: The negative impact of the factors of professional activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine on the somatic and mental health of instructor-officers was established. More than 50 % of the instructors rated their health as satisfactory, and more than 20 % as poor. The overwhelming majority of instructors reported a slight (over 40 %) and significant (over 30 %) deterioration in both somatic and mental health. Health problems over the past year have interfered with the performance of professional duties for more than 80 % of instructor-officers. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The systematic impact of negative factors can lead to some psychosomatic disorders and diseases in instructor-officers and a decrease in the quality of their teaching activities. This necessitates the search for ways to restore the somatic and mental health of instructor-officers.

Changes in somatic and mental health indicators of instructor-officers under stress.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To investigate changes in the indicators of somatic and mental health of instructor-officers in higher educational institutions with specific learning environment under stress. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: The research involved instructor-officers of the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Ukraine, n = 86) with different teaching experiences: up to 10 years (group 1, n = 22), from 10 to 20 years (group 2, n = 31), over 20 years (group 3, n = 33). The study of somatic and mental health was carried out in September-October 2021 (Stage 1) and in September-October 2023 (Stage 2). RESULTS: Results: Significantly negative changes in the indicators of somatic and mental health of instructor-officers with different experiences of teaching under stress were found. The most pronounced negative changes were found in the body weight index, vital index, strength index, Martin-Kushelevsky index, and emotional exhaustion of instructors. Among the studied groups of instructor-officers, the greatest changes occurred in instructors with 10 to 20 years of experience and more than 20 years, and the least - in instructors with up to 10 years of experience. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was found that the professional activities of instructor-officers, which take place under stress, negatively affect both the somatic and mental health of instructors, regardless of their teaching experience. Such activities lead to an increase in body weight, deterioration of the functioning of the main body systems, and increased professional burnout of instructors. This can lead to several psychosomatic disorders and diseases in instructor-officers and a decrease in the quality of their teaching activities.

THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING ON HEALTH AND PSYCHO!EMOTIONAL STATE OF MANAGERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To investigate the e!ect of physical training sessions on health and psycho-emotional state of managers of law enforcement agencies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was conducted in 2019-2021. The research involved 155 managers of law enforcement agencies (men) of different age groups. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of literature, pedagogical observation, testing, methods of mathematical statistics, including correlation analysis (Pearson's correlation coefficient was used). RESULTS: Results: An insufficient level of general physical #tness of managers of law enforcement agencies of all age groups was revealed. The worst level was found among managers of older age groups. Among physical qualities, the worst level was found in the development of endurance. A reliable relationship between the indicators of health and psycho-emotional state of managers of law enforcement agencies and the level of their general physical #tness was revealed. The highest correlation coefficients of these. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was established that the use of general physical training with the predominant use of endurance and strength exercises, taking into account the age of managers of law enforcement agencies is the direction of solving the problem of promoting health, improving indicators of psycho-emotional state and professional activities of managers of law enforcement agencies.

MORPHOFUNCTIONAL STATUS OF INSTRUCTORS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS DURING THEIR PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITIES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To research the morphofunctional status of instructors of higher educational institutions of di"erent age groups in the process of their pedagogical activities. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was conducted in the period from 2019 to 2021. The research involved 126 instructor offcers (men) of different age groups: under 30 years of age - 21 people, 31-35 years of age - 27 people, 36-40 years of age - 32 people, 41-45 years of age - 27 people, over 45 years of age - 19 people. Morphofunctional status of the instructor offcers was assessed by the indicators of their height, body weight, lung vital capacity, wrist dynamometry, heart rate, blood pressure and relevant indices. RESULTS: Results: It was found that during the study (2019-2020) the Kettle index, vital index, strength index, Robinson index and duration of recovery processes deteriorated among instructor offcers of all age groups. However, in instructor offcers of 36-40, 41-45 and over 45 years of age most of indices deteriorated reliably (P < 0.05). The values of the studied indices are below average or low in most instructors of all age groups, most instructors are overweight. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was found that the level of morphofunctional status of the instructional sta" is insuffcient to perform the tasks of their pedagogical activities. Rationally organized health-improving physical training sessions, taking into account the age group, morphofunctional status of instructors and the time of training sessions during the working day can be an effective way to solve this problem.
