DIAGNOSIS OF PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STRESS IN PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT
Abstract. Introduction. Professional selection of workers in extreme occupations associated with increased danger and responsibility is an important task of labor physiology. The study of psychomotor skills under conditions of acute stress, the assessment of the physiological reactions of the cardiovascular system will determine the professional suitability of candidates for various specialties (technical or intellectual-analytical). Purpose of work. The study of diagnostic methodological approaches to assessing the professional suitability of persons in hazardous professions in psychophysiological professional selection. Materials and methods. Psychophysiological studies included the study of psychomotor skills, psychological testing according to the MMIL and 16 FLO tests, physiological studies of hemodynamic features in candidates with different resistance to stress (calculation of stroke blood volume - SV, MC blood minute volume and peripheral resistance of PS), professional analysis of the labor activity of workers to identify the requirements that hazardous professions place on the body of workers, Research results. In candidates for engineering and technical specialties, the tension of the circulatory system reflected high values of the average dynamic pressure (105.73 ± 1.45 mm Hg), changes in the optimal hyperkinetic type of blood circulation to hypokinetic: 66.7% of those examined with low resistance to stress. In candidates for communicative specialties, a sufficient level of physical activity contributed to the stability of the indicators of the cardiovascular system. Conclusions. Informative indicators have been established for assessing the professional suitability of candidates to perform official tasks in extreme conditions: changes in handwriting signs, peculiarities of psychological status (anxiety, conformism), hemodynamic characteristics
