PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH OF A DOCTOR's PERSONALITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The impact of the pandemic on public health has caused numerous negative consequences. In this regard, the study of the state of psychological health of the personality of a medical worker becomes very relevant. The aim of the study is to investigate the manifestations of the psychological health of a doctor's personality in the conditions of epidemiological uncertainty and to suggest ways to strengthen it. Research hypothesis: doctors who do not systematically engage in moderate physical activity have a lower psychological health status of their personality, compared to those groups where more doctors regularly use physical activity. The study involved 294 doctors in 16 specialties: obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology and resuscitation, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, therapy, pediatrics, dermatovenerology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, radiology, surgery, oncology, traumatology and orthopedics, dentistry, pharmacy management and economics. For the diagnosis, the questionnaire of pronounced psychopathological symptoms SCL-90 was used, which allows to identify dysfunctional changes in the psyche and the degree of manifestation of the qualities and states of psychological health of the individual. Quantitative data were statistically processed using the IBM SPSS computer program. It is shown that depression, anxiety and hostility are less pronounced in doctors who regularly engage in physical activity, compared with doctors who do not find time for systematic exercise. As a result, the components of psychological health of the personality are better in the first group of doctors. Thus, the systematic use of moderate physical activity can be proposed as one of the ways to preserve and strengthen the psychological health of an individual in conditions of uncertainty.
