The purpose of the study is to analyze the health status of doctors in connection with unfavorable organizational and psychological factors of their professional activities. The article presents data on the duration and quality of life of doctors, their state of health, mental, psychosomatic and somatic diseases. The research material was published in the open press, in particular, according to MEDLINE and PubMed, domestic and foreign articles and monographs on the studied problem. The main risk factors leading to a decrease in the level of psychological well-being and deterioration of the health of doctors of various specialties were investigated and analyzed. The conditions of professional activity of doctors are considered, the requirements for them, as a rule, exceeding the psychological and psychophysiological resources of medical workers, as well as due to chronic emotional tension in the process of performing professional activities.

The purpose of the study was to establish the nature of the dependence of the effectiveness of interdisciplinary medical care on the age of the combatant and the time the combatant spent in the combat zone. We hypothesized that the severity of PTSD (decrease in PTSD scores, anxiety, aggressiveness and hopelessness) depends on age and time spent in the combat zone. The highest average rate of PTSD is observed in the group of combatants who spent a relatively short amount of time in the combat zone — up to 6 months. All combatants received comprehensive medical care, which included combined pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy (according to clinical recommendations). Each combatant underwent 16 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy twice a week, and testing (Mississippi Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale; A. Beck Anxiety Scale; L. G. Pochebut's Aggression Measure; Beck Hopelessness Scale). As a result, it was found that medical care is effective: after 8 weeks, the severity of symptoms decreases, which significantly interfere with the social adaptation of the combatant; however, in the group of 30—40 years old, the positive dynamics are relatively less pronounced. It can be assumed that in this age period participation in SVO is most traumatic.

According to foreign studies of recent years, the practices of using psychoactive substances are changing all over the world, especially noticeable are changes in such practices in developed countries. Among the practices that are being actively formed in the student population is the use of stimulating drugs, including medications, in order to increase productivity and academic effectiveness. In a study conducted in Russia, using an on-line survey on condition of anonymity (the answers of 606 students of Russian universities were analyzed), confirmation of the high level of stress experienced by the respondents was obtained, symptoms of emotional distress were recorded in some of the respondents. The study showed that a significant proportion of the sample used psychoactive substances, including medications designed to increase performance, improve memorization of material, and achieve the desired academic success. The facts of students of Russian universities turning to a wide range of drugs used to improve cognitive functions has been confirmed. The role of experienced stress as a factor that significantly increases the use of psychoactive substances was demonstrated. It was possible to establish a connection between individual attitudes of students, the features of their perception of the educational process, and the frequency of turning to psychoactive substances. The results obtained in this pilot study are important for planning further study of the problem of the use of psychoactive substances by university students, identifying social and personal factors of such consumption, and indicate promising areas of preventive work.
