Voloshyna V. Psychological Foundations of the Rehabilitation of Military Personnel in Ukraine

Object of study: the process of psychological rehabilitation of military personnel in Ukraine. Purpose: to theoretically and empirically substantiate the psychological foundations, factors, and effectiveness criteria of rehabilitation of military personnel (veterans) in Ukraine during full-scale war; to develop and test a comprehensive psychological recovery program. Methodology: theoretical analysis, synthesis, and systematization of scientific literature; empirical methods (testing, questionnaires, observation, formative experiment); standardized psychodiagnostic instruments (PCL-M, PHQ-9, GAD-7, AIS, PDEQ); statistical methods — Spearman correlation analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, Wilcoxon and McNemar tests. Software: Microsoft Excel and SPSS Statistics 21.0. Theoretical results: international and Ukrainian approaches to psychological rehabilitation of military personnel are systematized within a biopsychosocial and evidence-based framework; an integrative four-stage rehabilitation model is developed (diagnostic, stabilization, therapeutic, integration stages); a system of six integrative effectiveness criteria is proposed (psychological, social, pedagogical, medical/physiological, clinical, existential). Practical results: a comprehensive program "Recovery During War" was developed and implemented (n=52); statistically significant positive dynamics in PTSD, depression, anxiety, dissociation, and insomnia were confirmed. Field of application: rehabilitation centers, state veteran service offices, defense units, NGOs providing psychological assistance, higher education institutions.
