| Summary: | <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Context and relevance.</strong> Workers in the electric power industry (power lines, substations) are exposed to increased health risks associated with various factors, which leads to manifestations of adaptation disorders at the psychological and physiological levels. <strong>Objective.</strong> To identify the links between adaptation disorders and psychophysiological and psychological characteristics of workers in the electric power industry of the South of Russia, taking into account gender and length of service. <strong>Hypothesis.</strong> Adaptation disorders in workers in the electric power industry of the South of Russia are interconnected with their psychological and psychophysiological characteristics. <strong>Methods and materials.</strong> The study involved 42 electricians servicing electrical substations, overhead power line servicing foremen, and power line service engineers in the South of Russia (34 men and 8 women). Using the device of psychophysiological testing UPFT-1/30 “Psychophysiologist” (Medicom MTD, Russia), the participants in the study were assessed: variation cardiointervalometry, complex visual-motor reaction, and psychological tests were also conducted — the questionnaire “Maladaptation disorders” (A.G. Maklakov, S.V. Chermyanin), “Well-being. Activity. Mood”, the questionnaire of K. Leonhard. Statistical processing of the obtained data included descriptive statistics, correlation and variance analysis. <strong>Results.</strong> It was found that the severity of adaptation disorders at the psychological level is interconnected with the indicators of variation cardiointervalometry: the duration of cardio-intervals and the heart rate. A greater severity of the features of stuck and cyclothymic accentuations of character at the physiological level corresponds to lower indicators of the complex visual-motor reaction. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> Adaptation disorders are more pronounced in women than in men, and are least pronounced in men with average work experience. The specificity of manifestations of adaptation disorders is associated with the severity of character accentuations. The results obtained can be used in psychoprophylactic and rehabilitation activities with workers in the electric power industry.</p> |
