    Objective: The aim: To study the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers in Ukraine. Patients and methods: Materials and methods: 1087 healthcare workers across all regions of Ukraine completed an online questionnaire. Respondents were divided into two groups: A - 863 (79.4%), В - 224 (20.6%), according to whether or not they experienced anxiety/fear related to COVID-19. Results: Results: Such factors as risk of contracting COVID-19, news of new cases, insufficient staff in healthcare facilities, risk of transmission of COVID-19 to family or friends, risk of death from COVID-19, the threat of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with high level of anxiety/fear among healthcare workers. Factors that facilitate coping with stress included absence of Covid-19 cases among staff, recovering patients, availability of gear and protective equipment and absence of COVID-19 infected among loved ones, relieving stress (relaxation, going info sports and so on), communication with family and friends to relieve stress and get support, avoidance of COVID-19 media reports in particular on deaths connected cases, getting information about the spread of Covid-19 only from legitimate sources. Conclusion: Conclusions: The data obtained in this study indicate an urgent need for the development and implementation of preventive and rehabilitation measures aimed at stabilizing the psycho-emotional state of health workers and improving the quality of care in the special conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Achieving these goals will be facilitated by taking into account the specifics of the response to COVID-19 and measures to reduce the effects of stress while enhancing the effects of stressors among health care workers.

    Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is an extraordinary challenge for all countries and affects the psychological wellbeing of healthcare professionals working with people suffering from COVID-19 and puts them at a high risk of mental health problems. The aim of the study was to identify stress-related factors that affect the mental health of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine. Subjects and methods: A total of 1098 Ukrainian healthcare workers were surveyed using an online questionnaire consisting of questions relating to a) socio-demographic characteristics; b) perceptions of the COVID-19 related situation; and c) stress and protective factors. Respondents were divided into two groups, depending on whether they provided care to the patients with COVID-19 or not. Results: Of the 1087 healthcare workers, 863 (79.4%) were found to have anxiety / fear caused by the COVID-19. No significant difference was detected between professionals who did and did not provide personal assistance to patients with COVID-19 concerning anxiety / fear related to COVID-19 the most significant predictive factors for anxiety / fear caused by the COVID-19 were factors related to safety and risk perception (the risk of getting infected, dying, infecting loved ones, perception of the threat of the epidemic spread), information factors (constant news about COVID-19), as well as factors related to the organisation of care (lack of staff in health care facilities). Conclusions: Negative risk perception, high consumption of COVID-19 news, and shortage of staff in health care facilities were significant predictors of anxiety / fear caused by the COVID-19.

    (Aluna Publishing, 2021) Kopchak Oksana; Odintsova Tetiana
    The aim: Our study aimed at evaluating the relationships between sleep disorders (SD), cognitive impairment (CI), anxiety and depression in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Materials and methods: One hundred and five patients with RRMS (80 females and 25 males) aged from 22 to 67 years (mean age: 41,8±10,7; EDSS:3,5±1,6; disease duration (DD): 10,3±8,5 years) were enrolled into the study. All participants completed questionnaires on sleep (the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index /PSQI), cognitive functions (The Montreal Cognitive Assessment /MoCA), anxiety (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale /HAM-A), depression (Beck Depression Inventory/ BDI). Results: According to PSQI score the patients were divided into two groups: with (n=42) and without SD (n=63). The patients with SD were older (45,36±1,66 vs 39,41±1,27, p=0.005), had higher EDSS score (3,98±0,26 vs 3,14±0,19, p=0,008), BDI (13,79±1,14 vs 8,96±0,86, p=0,0009) and HAM-A (24,52±1,42 vs 16,56±0,99, p<0,0001) scales compared with patients without SD. The frequency of anxiety (p=0,0034) and depression (p=0,038) was significantly higher in RRMS patients with compared to those without SD. No significant difference was found in gender, DD and MoCA score. In patients with SD significant negative correlation between MoCA and BDI score (r = -0,42, p<0,005) was found. In the group of patients without SD significant negative correlation between MoCA and EDSS (r = -0,27, p=0,03), MoCA and BDI (r = -0,26, p=0,043),) MoCA and HAM-A (r = -0,25, p=0,041) score was detected. Conclusions: Insomnia type SD in RRMS patients were associated with older age, higher EDSS score and presence of anxiety and depression.

    THE STATE OF MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS OF HIGHER MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF A FULL-SCALE WAR AND UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE
    (Proceedings of the 10th International scientific and practical conference. - Lviv, Ukraine, 2024-11-14) Михайлюк, Михайло; Ковальчук, Наталія; Арнаута, Наталія
    The consequences of the war for the mental health of Ukrainians will be the subject of further in-depth research by scientists from related fields of knowledge, but today it can be argued that some of the most common negative manifestations that have emerged during the war are anxiety, sleep problems, anxiety and destructive states of uncontrolled aggression, low levels of stress resistance and adaptability, etc. The results obtained indicate the instability of such personality states as anxiety, frustration, aggression and rigidity. Academic stress, air raids, lack of light and communication, obsessive thoughts about the war, siren sounds, worries about relatives who are under occupation or at the front, and the state of uncertainty of the future have a negative impact on the mental health of students. Further research should focus on the importance of chronobiological factors, compliance with the regime of study and rest, development and implementation of methods that minimise academic stress in higher education institutions in order not only to preserve but also to increase the health of the student during study in the realities of today. Thus, health is the greatest value of a person, which characterises not only his/her condition, but also the strategy of life. Considering mental health as a dynamic state of internal balance of various aspects of a person's life, we understand that natural and social factors determine the attitude of a person to himself, promote personal development, ensure the effectiveness and success of his life and activities.

    ПСИХОПАТОЛОГІЧНИЙ ТА АДИКТИВНИЙ СТАТУС ОСІБ, ЩО СТРАЖДАЮТЬ НА СИНДРОМ ЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ ВІД АЛКОГОЛЮ, ПІСЛЯ ПЕРЕНЕСЕНОЇ КОРОНАВІРУСНОЇ ХВОРОБИ COVID – 19
    («Центр учбової літератури», 2021-03-18) Тасенко Михайло Володимирович; Пострелко В. М.
    У статті наведено дані щодо психопатологічного стану та адиктивного статусу осіб, які страждають на синдром залежності від алкоголю та перехворіли на коронавірусну хворобу COVID - 19. Встановлено, що у осіб з синдромом залежності від алкоголю, які перехворіли на коронавірусну хворобу COVID - 19, переважають середній ступінь тяжкості та тяжка форма тривожного розладу та виражений депресивний розлад. Для самополегшення психопатологічних симптомів пацієнти збільшують дозу алкоголю,що не тільки підвищує ризик розвитку важкої алкогольної залежності, але й гальмує процеси відновлення організму після коронавірусної інфекції. Слід очікувати збільшення кількості епізодів алкогольного абстинентного синдрому, оскільки незавершені соматичні захворювання змушують пацієнтів на деякий час відмовитися від алкоголю.

    СИНДРОМ ЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ ВІД АЛКОГОЛЮ В УЧАСНИКІВ ЛІКВІДАЦІЇ НАСЛІДКІВ АВАРІЇ НА ЧОРНОБИЛЬСЬКІЙ АЕС ЧЕРЕЗ 35 РОКІВ
    («Центр учбової літератури», 2021-04-07) Тасенко Михайло Володимирович; Пострелко В. М.
    У статті представлено порівняльну характеристику особливостей перебігу синдрому залежності від алкоголю в учасників ліквідації наслідків аварії на Чорнобильській АЕС та їхніх нащадків, які перехворіли на COVID - 19. Дослідження виявило, що люди, які брали участь у ліквідації наслідків аварії на ЧАЕС, порівняно з людьми, які були дітьми на момент аварії, або народилися у людей, які брали участь у ліквідації наслідків аварії на ЧАЕС, мали більш тяжкий перебіг коронавірусної хвороби та виражені тривожні та депресивні розлади, нічні жахи, тяжкі когнітивні порушення. Характерною особливістю всіх груп було різке збільшення дози вживаного алкоголю, або вихід з ремісії. Після дослідження спостерігалося покращення загального стану пацієнтів та якісна ремісія.
