Rosinskyi H. Health deterioration of families of participants of the military actions (phenomenology, mechanisms of development, psychological correction)

In order to investigate the phenomenology and mechanisms of development of health deterioration of families of demobilized combatants, and the development of a program for its psychological correction on this basis, during the period from 2015 to 2018, 100 combatants and their wives were thoroughly examined. The research was conducted with the help of socio-demographic, clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic methods and system-structural analysis of sexual health. According to the criteria for the success of marital relationships, the examined families were divided into two groups: the main group consisted of 72 couples with family health deterioration, and the group of comparison included 28 successful couples. The generalization of the obtained results confirmed the hypothesis formulated by us about the polymodality of the phenomenon of health deterioration of combatants’ families, which has at least psychopathological, behavioral, personal, psychosocial, sexual and family dimensions of the problem. In addition, on the basis of the obtained results, two clinical and psychological variants of family health deterioration of combatants were distinguished: destructively-congruent, which was characteristic for 40.3% of problematic married couples, and traumatically-uncoordinated, found in 59,7% of the families of the main group. The psychocorrection program for the family health deterioration of combatants was developed, which takes into account both the general laws of its development, and the meaningful differences in its manifestations, depending on the clinical and psychological variant. The evaluation of effectiveness, carried out through a comparative analysis of the indicators of marital satisfaction and quality of life of individuals of psychocorrection and control groups, has proved their effectiveness in relation to the selected targets of psychocorrective impact.
