The relevance of studying the self- assessment of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its relationship with psychological health is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of the system of psychological support for cadets during the period of pre-university education, the purpose of which is to compensate for the deficiencies in the adaptive abilities of adolescents and their further personal and professional self-determination. One of the main criteria for assessing a cadet’s career opportunities in the law enforcement system is his self-assessment. A young man entering the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia does not always proportion the level of his physical, intellectual and personal capabilities with those requirements of the educational environment of a military school. The inability of adolescents to adequately assess their strengths and weaknesses complicates the process of professional self-determination, in connection with which a significant percentage of the pupils who entered the school experience difficulties in adaptation, are disappointed in their choice and make a decision to expel. The study resulted in a correlation between the self-esteem of the cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the resource of their psychological health, reflecting the ratio of constructive and destructive-deficient central (unconscious) personality functions. Another finding is a significant difference in the self-assessment of cadets assigned to different groups of psychological health. The practical significance of the research findings is determined by the possibility of their effective use in the system of psychological support for pre-university training of cadets of the Suvorov military school, including the period of mass psycho-prophylactic examinations and the provision of targeted psychological assistance to cadets with low self-assessment.

A special questionnaire for self-esteem scores was created for these patients.ResultsBefore psychological support, group a patients demonstrated 6/20 (30%) very high self-esteem, 9/20 (45%) high and 5/25 (25%) moderate. After support 14/20 (70%) were turned to very high, 5/20 (25%) represented high except one whose degrees remained an altered. group b 4/20 (20%) were very high, 7/20 (35%) were high, 3/20 (15%) moderate and the rest of them showed low self-esteem degrees, after support, 10/20 (50%) showed very high, 5/20 (25%) became high, 3/20 (15%) turned to moderate and 2/20 (10%) remained unaltered. Group c, 1/20 (5%) were very high self-esteemed, 7/20 (35%) were high, 6/20 (30%) were moderate and 6/20 (30%) with low self-esteemed, at the end of support, 6/20 (30%) become very high, 8/20 (40%) with high, 4/20 (20.0%), moderate self-esteem whereas the rest were unaltered.ConclusionsVery high and high self-esteem degrees were demonstrated in patients who follow their PKU diet.

In the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with cancer, physical exercise is considered as an additional method of prevention of anxiety spectrum disorders, which increases the level of self-esteem. Improving the psychological status of children can be associated with sports achievements when participating in the Winners Games competitions, preparation for which includes not only physical exercises but psychological support. The aim of the study was to assess the dynamics of the psychological status in children with cancer when preparing for the Winners Games. Material and methods: the study included 20 children with cancer aged from 8 to 12 years who were planning to participate in the Winners Games. Psychological support of theparticipants was aimed at self-regulation skills, relationships with partners and the coach, adequate motivation, and the exercises necessary for maintaining psychological status during the competition. A number of indicators were studied such as the level of self-esteem (Rosenberg test), the level of anxiety (the Luscher color test) and psychodiagnostic examination (the Cattell’s method) in the beginning of training and after three months. To compare the average group values, the Student's T-test was used. To evaluate the distribution (qualitative characteristics), the Fischer F-test was performed. Results: an assessment of the dynamics of the psychophysiological status in children with cancer preparing for the Winners Games (at the beginning of training and 3 months after physical training and psychological support) revealed a decrease in the number of children with low self-esteem and high anxiety (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant improvement in the emotional-volitional and communicative properties of children, as well as in the features of interpersonal interaction. There was a significant difference in terms of extreme estimates (low and high level) indicating the improvement of emotional stability and motivation, as well as the reduction of anxiety, isolation and timidity, and enhancement of sociability, courage. Conclusion: The results obtained demonstrate a decrease in the number of children with a low level and an increase in the number of children with a high level of emotionalvolitional characteristics and communicative properties, which indicates the effectiveness of psychological support for children with cancer preparing for the Winners Games.
