Зарубіжний досвід соціально-психологічної адаптації військовослужбовців

The relevance of this study lies in the fact that at present the problem of rehabilitation of military personnel participating in the war of the Russian Federation with Ukraine continues to remain unresolved. The relevance of this issue is due to the fact that the majority of military personnel, against the background of injuries, wounds and concomitant somatic diseases, have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Social adaptation of military personnel in wartime is a significant factor in ensuring the state's defense capability and social stability. The challenges facing military personnel during service and upon return to civilian life concern a significant list of issues - from psychological trauma to integration into a peaceful society. The above problems are relevant primarily in the context of current armed conflicts, which are accompanied by a high level of stress, losses, physical and emotional trials. The purpose of this work is to study the foreign experience of socio-psychological adaptation of military personnel. In the process of writing this article, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, generalization, system method, logical, dialectical, generalization method. Consideration of foreign experience of socio-psychological adaptation of military personnel demonstrates that rehabilitation programs are mainly focused on solving mental health problems. Only a few specialists emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to such patients, taking into account all impaired functions caused by a multifaceted set of influences. Since post-traumatic stress disorder and various effects of military events develop according to the principle of interdependence and mutual burden. The relevance of medical and psychological rehabilitation of military personnel in sanatorium-resort conditions is emphasized, using natural therapeutic potential, a comprehensive, as well as an individual approach that includes medical, psychological and physical elements of rehabilitation. The study of international experience makes it possible to identify the main vectors to build an effective national rehabilitation system. Taking into account all factors, it is appropriate for Ukraine to adapt world practice to the domestic context, focusing special attention on modern challenges and needs of military personnel. The development of a comprehensive rehabilitation system will be a significant step towards guaranteeing a dignified life for veterans, as well as their contribution to the development of society.
