Features of medical and psychological support of military service drivers

Relevance. In modern conditions, medical and psychological support measures are an important condition for ensuring the reliability of the activities of military drivers. One of the main tasks of medical and psychological support in the process of performing professional activities should be timely diagnosis of disorders and restoration of the functional state and working capacity of military personnel. To date, there has been no practical algorithm for a psychologist to assess the condition of a military driver in real conditions of daily activity and performance of combat training tasks. Intention. Approbation of a set of methods for assessing psychological readiness at the stage of pre-trip inspection of a military driver. Methodology. Specialists of the Military Medical Academy have proposed a set of methods for assessing the current psychophysiological state of military drivers at the stage of pre-trip inspection. The proposed set of techniques allows you to quickly assess the level of psychological readiness of a military driver to perform the task and reflects the assessment of the state of the individual’s physiological reserves, the level of functioning of psychomotor, cognitive processes and the actual mental state. Results and Discussion. During the study, the proposed set of techniques was tested. Its competitive validity in relation to the measurement of indicators of psychomotor activity, attention and thinking has been experimentally proved. The normative values of the indicators of the methods are determined. An algorithm has been developed for making a conclusion on the admission of a military driver to driving a vehicle based on the calculation of linear discriminant functions. Conclusion. The use of the considered set of techniques will allow timely and prompt detection of violations of the functional state and will ensure an increase in the professional reliability of the military driver.
