Objective: The relationship of situational (reactive) and personal anxiety in the sample of respondents with post-trauma stress disorder (PTSD) has been considered in the article. The study found that a significant level of situational anxiety and an average level of personal anxiety is observed in respondents with post-trauma stress disorder. Method: The survey and testing of respondents was conducted on the basis of their voluntary and anonymous participation among the staff of public authorities and law enforcement bodies. Clinical, psychopathological and statistical research methods were used in this work. While conducting a psychopathological survey, the Mississippi scale (MS), military and civilian variants, the severity questionnaire for psychopathological symptoms (AFPS), and the scale for assessing the level of reactive and personal anxiety (Charles D. Spilberger, Yu. L. Khanin) were used to determine the qualitative and quantitative parameters. The levels of reactive and personal anxiety were determined on a scale: up to 30 points-low anxiety; from 31 to 45 pointsmoderate anxiety; 46 points or more-high anxiety. The statistical processing of research results included the calculation of the arithmetic mean value for the quantitative (M) and qualitative (P) indices and their errors (m and p). When comparing the data obtained in groups and subgroups, the Student's t-test was used, while the correlation analysis of interrelationships-the Spearman correlation coefficient was used. The sample comprised respondents with signs that meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (ICD-10 \ DSM-R). Results: The manifestation of the influence of the experienced psychological trauma on the level of anxiety is: an increased heart rate; Blanchet syndrome; a nervous condition; tension of all groups of muscles; feeling a sense of guilt; a feeling of fever followed by shivers; long confusion; insomnia; migraine; uncontrollable anger. The symptoms of anxiety persist and accumulate, at the time of a stressful situation, and after its resolution, contributing to a decrease in performance, fatigue and exhaustion. In addition, the results of the study indicate that anxiety and its level plays an important role, both in clinical findings and in the pathogenesis of PTSD. At the same time, differences were found among men and women. Men with PTSD are characterized by an increase in the level of situational anxiety as the severity of the disorder increases. Women are characterized by a moderate level of situational anxiety, regardless of the severity of the disorder. For both male and female subjects, high indices of personal anxiety are more significant than situational in the development of PTSD of different severity levels. Conclusion: Anxiety and its level, plays an important role both in clinical findings and in the pathogenesis of PTSD. At the same time, differences were found among men and women. Men with PTSD are characterized by an increase in the level of situational anxiety as the severity of the disorder increases. Women are c...
Objectives: Our goal is to study the effect of the phenomenon of cyberbullying on teenagers and teenagers at the physiological, psychological and medical level, as well as to determine the content of medical and psychological prevention of cyberbullying. The goal of the study determined our objectives: to determine the theoretical approaches to the substantiation of the phenomenon of "cyberbullying"; to identify methods and means of assistance to a teenager who has become a victim of cyberbullying at the physiological, psychological and medical level; to describe the activities of a specialist to provide assistance and follow-up for a teenager who has become a victim of cyberbullying. Materials: In solving these tasks, the following research methods were used: system analysis and synthesis of international and domestic literature on the research problem; systematization of facts; the analysis of regulations; psychophysiological diagnostics (tеpping-test, kopping-test, Dot cancellation test), psychological research methods (survey in the form of questioning, testing). Results: We can draw a conclusion about the causal interdependence of psychological, physiological and clinical and the consequences of cyberbullying for teenagers. Most teenagers who were victims of cyberbullying have a high and medium level of anxiety (which indicates their inherent increased anxiety, which may be accompanied by depression, isolation, unwillingness to maintain existing social contacts and make new ones); a decrease in activity and, as a result, a decrease in school performance; a high level of frustration (which is accompanied by such negative emotions as disappointment, irritation, a teenager has a general sense of wreck); high and medium level of constriction (teenagers with a high level of constriction have significant difficulties in the process of adaptation, which significantly affects the social side of their lives and significantly affects the resolution of emerging problems). Conclusions: When providing assistance to teenagers clinical psychologist need to rely on the following principles: systemic; subject-subjectivity, or communication; adaptation and endurance; safety and reliability. These principles will work successfully if the following individual and group methods of psychotherapy are used: creating a new cognitive model of life activity; affective reassessment of traumatic experience; restoration of a sense of self-esteem and the ability to exist in the world; colloquial psychotherapy (logotherapy, which involves the coincidence of verbal argumentation and the internal state of a teenager, leading to self-realization, when a teenager focuses on personal experiences, thoughts, feelings, desires); game therapy, art therapy, music therapy (through the perception of music), vocal therapy (through singing); kinesitherapy and psychodrama.
