INFORMATIONAL APPROACHES TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STRESS ON THE STATE OF THE WORKING POPULATION AND MILITARY PERSONNEL OF UKRAINE

Introduction. The increased psycho-emotional stress significantly affects the working capacity of the population and the fighting capacity of military personnel, which indirectly affects the level of well-being of the entire population of Ukraine. Therefore, assessing the psycho-emotional stress on the working population and comparing it with indicators in other countries of the world will contribute to the development of adequate measures to reduce it. 

The purpose of the paper is to identify the prerequisites for the formation of stress reactions in the working population and military personnel in the event of hostilities escalation in our country, using informational approaches to the analysis of the psycho-emotional stress impact on the condition of the working population and military personnel of Ukraine. 

The results. The analysis of data from publicly available information sources made it possible to show that a significant degree of the psycho-emotional state of military personnel is formed on the basis of a high background level of stress load of the working population, which had a significant impact in the last decade. This was objectively reflected in the natural reduction of the country’s population, significant distortion of the structure of its traumatism and became the cause of informational and material transformations in the population. It was established that the index of population stress (IPS) used in the analysis, which assesses the asymmetry of deaths of persons of different sexes in their life activities, naturally increased during the period of intensive socio-economic transformations in Ukraine. The analysis of IPS dynamics showed that the working population can be divided into a separate group, where the socio-economic status influence on psycho-emotional stress in the population can be monitored to a greater extent. It is shown that IPS levels are unevenly distributed in different countries of the world. Among these countries, Ukraine is characterized by a high asymmetry in the mortality ratio of men and women. Based on the theory of sex’s asymmetry V.A. Geodakyan explained some mechanisms of balancing the mortality of men and women of working age. Approaches to the development of timely administrative state decisions by implementing monitoring of the psycho-emotional stress of the working population are proposed. 

Conclusions. The used index of population stress makes it possible to monitor the dynamics of the psycho-emotional stress transformation of the working population and, indirectly, of military personnel. Ukraine belongs to the countries with a “high” level of the population stress index, which indicates the existence of ultra-intensive transformations in the livelihood of its citizens. Organizational measures that will contribute to the development of adequate management solutions to normalize the psycho-emotional stress level of the working population and military personnel are proposed.
