Abstract

The prolonged hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the protracted socio-political crisis, and the population emotional stress are preconditions for stress-related disorders. Combat stress experienced by military personnel, physical and mental trauma, and the difficulty of adapting to military conditions often lead to adjustment disorders and affective disorders, most often in the form of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the socio-demographic factors of military personnel with combat trauma and determine their role in the development of adjustment disorders. Materials and methods. After obtaining informed consent to participate in the study, a comprehensive examination was conducted on 310 male military personnel with adjustment disorders aged 19 to 59 years old. Group I included 134 persons with adjustment disorders, group II included 176 persons with adjustment disorders and physical combat injuries (96 persons with adjustment disorders and mild traumatic brain injury due to mine-blast trauma, 80 persons with adjustment disorders and gunshot or shrapnel wounds). The combat injuries sustained were recorded in the relevant medical documentation. The study of the socio-demographic characteristics of the study population included an analysis of the distribution by age, place of residence, level of education, and marital status. Results. It has been revealed that among the studied contingent of combatants with mental and physical combat trauma, young people predominate, which correlates with general age trends among combatants in Ukraine, and that the age of patients with combat mental trauma is significantly higher. Place of residence, educational level, and, especially, marital status are significant factors in the risk of developing maladjustment disorders among combatants. Conclusions. Treatment and rehabilitation programs for combatants with different types of combat injuries must take into account socio-demographic factors and educational level, but above all, they must be individually tailored and based on clinical and pathopsychological characteristics.
