Abstract The membership of the country in the Euro-Atlantic structures, the professionalization of the Armed Forces and their participation in joint operations put the Bulgarian Army in front of the necessity to comply with the rules for communal-household provision applied in the NATO member states. As the resource constraint of the Military Budget, determined by the economic potential of the country, does not allow the construction of new military infrastructure objects, the current models for modernization, maintenance and utilization of the military infrastructure in the part of the communal-household provision of the Armed Forces are proposed. The implementation of the presented models is in response to solve problems in improving the maintenance and using military infrastructure elements. On the one hand, the applicability of the models requires the development of scientifically-based norms and legislation for the communal-household provision of the servicemen and on the other hand, it responds to the requirements for improving the quality of life of military personnel in the context of continuous structural reforms and transformations

Para el análisis estadístico , pruebas paramétricas se utilizaron como una función de la distribución normal de los datos . Prueba de la t de Student para muestras independientes se utilizó para comparar los dos grupos ( mujeres ( GM ) y hombres (GH ) ) . La correlación de Pearson se utilizó para evaluar el grado de asociación entre las mediciones antropométricas y los resultados de las pruebas físicas . Los valores de p < 0,01 fueron considerados significativos . La GH mostró una diferencia significativa en el MC , estatura, IMC y la CC en comparación con el GM , pero no fue diferente con respecto a la edad . En cuanto a la APAFT , la GH mostró una diferencia significativa en las pruebas físicas en comparación con la de GM. En el cuestionario de calidad de vida , no hubo ninguna diferencia significativa en ninguno de los dominios de la evaluación de WHOQOL - BREF . Aplicando el coeficiente de correlación parcial de Pearson ( controlados por género ) mostró que la CC y el IMC mostraron una débil a moderada correlación significativa con los resultados de la APAFT.

Background/Aim. Professional military personnel are exposed to a number of stressors during the war as well as in peacetime conditions that can cause some hidden or manifest disorders, especially anxiety and depression, but also the development of a burnout syndrome. The aim of our investigation was to determine the defense mechanisms and subjective assessment of quality of life and anxiety in professional military personnel of the Serbian Armed Forces with the burnout syndrome. Methods. The cross-sectional study included a total of 55 professional military personnel, from 25 to 55 years of age, without current mental problem. In the investigation, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40), World Health Organization Abbreviated Instrument for Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) and Beck Anxiety Inventory were used. The statistical analysis included parametric and nonparametric descriptive statistics. Results. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were present in 10.9% of subjects and in 12.7% of subjects respectively, in moderate level, while personal accomplishment was present in 21.8% of subjects of high level. Humor was higher in the subjects with a moderate level of burnout on the personal accomplishment (PA) scale and altruism in the subjects with a low level of burnout on the depersonalization (DP) scale as well as acting-out and rationalization on the PA scale in the subjects with a moderate level of burnout. High level of anxiety was present in 14.5% of subjects. Conclusion. Professional military personnel with lower level of burnout were less anxious, use mature defense mechanisms and have a perception of better quality of life. When burnout is diagnosed, psychological interventions requires training through the adoption of mechanisms for overcoming everyday stress, which may affect the reduction of anxiety and the improvement of the quality of life. Professional assistance, including psychotherapy is required in severe cases.

Aim: To assess the relationship between the presence of hypertension and the quality of life of contracted military personnel in the Far North, as well as to establish a correlation between the military rank and body mass index.Materials and methods. A medical and sociological study was conducted using a questionnaire survey of 613 military personnel serving on a contract basis in the Far North. The main research tool was a short version of the World Health Organization questionnaire developed for estimating the subjective quality of life. Additionally, questions were asked regarding the health status, as well as the conditions of service and life of military personnel.Results. A positive answer to the question about the presence of a hypertension diagnosis was given by 52 (8.5%) of the respondents. 135 (22%) of the respondents confirmed episodes of increased blood pressure. According to the scale, the quality of life of the military personnel with hypertension comprised 94 points (95% CI: 90.25–97.75), whereas this value equaled 95.33 points (95% CI: 93.10–97.57) and 99.99 points (95% CI: 98.91–101.06) for people experiencing episodes of increased blood pressure and for healthy individuals, respectively. A statistically significant difference in the general assessment of the quality of life was noted between the group of healthy individuals and the group of the personnel suffering from hypertension (U = 10861, p ˂ 0.01), as well as from the group of healthy individuals and people experiencing episodes of increased blood pressure (U = 17185, p ˂ 0.05). In terms of the military rank, statistically significant differences were noted in the hypertension group — between unranked military personnel and warrant officers (U = 78.5, p ˂ 0.05), and in the group experiencing episodes of increased blood pressure — unranked military personnel and warrant officers (U = 587.5, p ˂ 0.05) and warrant officers and junior officers (U = 620, p ˂ 0.05). Spearman correlation criterion values were obtained for the relationship between the body mass index and both hypertension (rs = –0.212, p ˂ 0.001) and high blood pressure (rs = –0.231, p ˂ 0.001).Conclusion. The obtained data confirm the negative impact of conditions associated with increased blood pressure on such aspects as the physical and mental well-being, self-perception, self-assessment of the quality of life and the state of health, general assessment of the quality of life. A correlation between the overall quality of life, the body mass index and the military rank of military personnel was established.
