Introduction: the article considers one of the urgent issues of legal psychology – the disclosure of the mechanisms of psychological stability in employees of security department of correctional institutions. Since the professional activity of security department employees has a sociogenic and stressful nature due to a number of parameters, the predominance of the impact of stress factors over the mechanisms of mental stability in many cases leads to negative implications such as the development of psychological burnout, social maladjustment and personality deformation. Aim: to determine internal mechanisms that reduce adaptive capabilities and factors that promote them, to study the features of psychological resistance to the action of social and stress factors in the security department employees, depending on the length of their service. Methods: we study the mechanisms of psychological stability of employees and the parameters of models of stress states with the use of the following methods: “Neuropsychic stability” (“Forecast”) technique developed by V.Yu. Rybnikov (1990), a method for assessing professional burnout developed by C. Maslach and S. Jackson (1986), innovative multi-factor methods for assessing basic professional typologies of stress and spirituality of an individual according to K.B. Malyshev (2021). Conclusions: the results of the study show that social stress among security personnel is one of the most traumatic forms of stress and it corresponds to the concept of professional stress. Moreover, the essence of the concept of psychological stability is associated with the study of subjective features of the phenomenon of disequilibrium of life activity – stress. Stress reflects the entire range of basic conditions – health and development, maladjustment and pathology. The data obtained in the study indicate the disharmonic nature of psychological adaptability (pseudo-adaptation) to the action of social stressors in employees with ten years of service experience. At the same time, the majority of respondents, in contrast to employees with a period in service of up to five years, have basic professional types of stress and spirituality, which indicates a low level of their socio-moral value orientations. This makes it necessary to develop innovative approaches to the prevention of professional stress and burnout among employees at all stages of their professional activity on the basis of the subject-subject paradigm in the development of the intention to form spiritual and moral values in an individual.

Abstract Introduction. Currently, the work of managers is characterized by a number of factors having an unfavorable impact on human health. Stress as the main risk factor related to the professional activity is considered to be the major cause of possible poor health among the managers. Depression may result from a stress overload of managers. Aim. The authors wanted to determine the vulnerability to depression related to professional stress among healthcare managers and to assess gender and managerial work experience-specific differences. Materials and methods. A total of 235 healthcare managers working in the Republic of Belarus with various length of managerial work experience (women n=142, men n=93; mean age 45.7±1.21 years) underwent a psychological testing aimed at determining their vulnerability to depression. The results of the study were analyzed using the STATISTICA 7.0 software. Results. The vulnerability to depression in men differed from that in women (p=0.002). The predisposition to depression had significant differences between the groups with various experience of managerial work (p=0.03). The vulnerability to depression among healthcare managers increased with the length of managerial work. The highest level of vulnerability to depression was in healthcare managers with >20 years of experience (p=0.02) both in men (p=0.003) and in women (p=0.04). Conclusion. Thus, acquiring professional competences as a factor contributing to stress resistance, skills of coping with stress and alleviating its impact on the health status is very important through the whole professional activity. Healthcare managers with the length of work experience of 1-5 years are especially in need of the appropriate knowledge and skills.

The article analyzes the key approaches to the phenomenon of stress in the teacher's professional activity. The views of scientists on its nature, the factors that give rise to its appearance and deployment are presented. The concepts of "work stress", "organizational stress", "professional stress" are distinguished. Professional stress among teachers is viewed through the prism of an individual's individual response to the impact of a difficult situation (psychological approach). The teacher's reaction to the increased demands of the social environment for his activities is investigated (social approach). The psychological state of the teacher, determined by the powerful action of factors associated with the implementation of professional tasks (professionally oriented approach) is described. The importance of an integrated approach to the study of psychological characteristics of professional stress of teachers is emphasized. Currently, there is an acute lack of personal resources for the effective solution of current pedagogical problems, which leads to stress. The author has characterized the types of professional stress by the nature of the impact on the personality of the teacher and his/her activities. The factors determining the transformation of situational stress into chronic occupational stress have been determined. The features of informational, emotional and communicative stress in the teacher's professional activity are described. The types of stressors in pedagogical activity are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to objective and subjective stressors, in particular to interpersonal, mid-personal and motivational. General and special occupational stressors are described in detail. The differences from stressors that are controlled and not amenable to control in the conditions of pedagogical activity are determined. Attention is focused on the fact that professional stress among teachers can become a serious threat to the successful deployment of professional activity and lead to professional burnout. Cases in which professional stress becomes a stimulus prompting a teacher to develop and improve are identified.

Abstract. Factors of disadaptation of pilots after combat stress are analyzed as one of the main factors in the development of post-traumatic stress disorder. It was found that the effects of combat stress have a great impact on young, thin pilots, with a predominance of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and a reduced basic metabolism of the body. The data obtained allow for early diagnosis and identification of functional disorders in pilots for their medical and psychological rehabilitation. The use of the proposed discriminant function can be divided into adapted and unadapted (differently processing traumatic experience), for the development of appropriate rehabilitation programs within their medical and psychological rehabilitation. The revealed decrease in the reserve capabilities of the Central nervous system and the adaptive capabilities of the body of pilots subsequently leads to a decrease in the reliability of the professional activity of the pilot with an increase in its physiological price. In terms of methodology, understanding the postponement of the negative impact of combat stress factors on the pilots body requires constant measures for early detection and correction of emerging functional disorders. The consequences of combat stress are considered as an integral reaction of the body to the complex impact of various factors of combat stress, which is manifested at the psychophysiological and somatic levels and leads to early disqualification of pilots for medical reasons.

“Staff feminization” of the Russian schools is a general tendency of the modern education, however, the problems that female teachers face when performing their professional activity in a foreign cultural environment are rather specific and therefore they require the most careful consideration and further correction through the system of psychological support. The study of the mechanism of psychological support, as well as the methods of its implementation, is the objective of the present article. The tasks of the research are the following: 1) determination of the stress factors, accompanying the activity of the female teachers of the Russian school abroad; 2) selection of the contemporary psychological techniques required for neutralization of the stress factors; 3) formation of a cluster of measures required for psychological support of teacher of Russian as a foreign language; 4) modelling of the educational content directed to the formation of the psychological competencies of the Russian teacher of a foreign school. The system of psychological support has two levels and includes the following measures: 1) prevention of the impact of negative factors and 2) liquidation of the competency-based lacunes in the field of psychological knowledge. Taking into consideration the specific character of a foreign cultural environment allows determining the individual trajectories of the professional development of a teacher. The system of psychological support is not closed; it should be updated and improved constantly taking into account and under the influence of the demands of the time to become a part of the mechanism of the general training of a teacher of the Russian school abroad.
