Practical aspects of developing short-term psycho-emotional stabilization programs for combatants
Abstract
This article proposes one of the possible options for organizing short-term inpatient stabilization programs, which includes conducting input-output diagnostics, routing and providing assistance to patients in accordance with severity of state and detection of probable psychosomatic reactions. The program offers a psychodiagnostic complex that meets the requirements of the latest changes in the legislation of Ukraine. Also, in this article, a superficial, non-statistical, analysis of the results of the implementation of the pilot project in accordance with the proposed stabilization program is carried out. The strengths and weaknesses of the program and its pilot implementation were studied; options for changes were proposed to obtain a more sustainable positive effect.
