Strategic directions of implementing a system of psychophysiological support of professional activity of military pilots

Abstract

To date, the state aviation of Ukraine has an urgent problem of improving the existing system of medical support for flights by introducing measures of psychophysiological support for improving the professional health of military pilots, increasing the duration of their professional longevity and ensuring the safety of flights. That is why, the purpose of our research was to offer a list of strategic directions of scientific substantiation and development of a conceptual model of a system of measures for psychophysiological support of professional activities of military pilots based on an analysis of the problems of its implementation in the state aviation of Ukraine. For this, the methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, induction and deduction, complex and system analysis were used. As a result of the research, it was found that the strategy for introducing a system of measures for psychophysiological support of the professional activities of military pilots should be perceived as a process of improving the existing system of medical support for flights of state aviation in Ukraine on the basis of defining qualitatively new goals and objectives of its functioning, harmonizing internal capabilities with the conditions of the professional environment, development of a set of measures to improve its reliability and efficiency in the long term. From these points of view, the systematic approach to determining the strategic directions of implementation of the said system should be based on the complex of organizational, regulatory, information-analytical, personnel and technological problems. To solve them, it is necessary to conduct research on health assessment of different categories of military pilots, hygienic assessment of conditions and features of their professional activity, selection of a set of informative psychophysiological characteristics and methods of their evaluation, development of mechanisms and criteria for access to flights, regulatory, legal, personnel and organizational bases of functioning of system of measures of psychophysiological support of professional activity of military pilots.

Characteristics of the psychoemotional status of different categories of flight persons

Однак, зазвичай це стосується виключно когнітивної, мотиваційної й емоційно-вольової сфери, тоді як урахування особистісних якостей осіб ЛС з метою проведення заходів психофізіологічного супроводу залишаються поза увагою науковців [7]. Разом з тим, праця сучасних льотчиків значною мірою пов'язана з необхідністю нести відповідальність та дбати про збереження не тільки свого життя та здоров'я, а й співгромадян протягом усього професійного життя [3,14].…”
