Abstract

The article analyzes personal factors and trends in restoring a healthy lifestyle, preserving the integrity of the individual, and preventing negative psychological states in wartime conditions. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that the long struggle with heavy military losses not only exhausts the emotional and volitional sphere of the individual and requires extreme activation of internal resources of strength, strength, endurance and faith in life. The collection of empirical data was carried out with the help of the author’s questionnaire of scientists of the department of social psychology of personality of the Institute of Social and Political Psychology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine: “Healthy way of Ukrainians during the war”. 6077 respondents were involved in data collection, 6042 answers were included in the analysis. The results of the primary statistical analysis of mindfulness practices, conscious processing of experience in connection with a full-scale invasion are presented. The most motivating factors for adherence to healthy eating habits are outlined, namely: “signs of health deterioration” (38.3% of the sample), “following a personal goal (34.1% of the sample)”, “awareness of the destructive impact of chronic stress” (31.4% of the sample). It was determined that stress tolerance depends on gender and on the acquired experience of overcoming difficulties on one’s own. Thus, men tend to ignore emotional fatigue when observing and preserving the SSR during wartime. It is noted that positive changes in the feeling of one’s own personal strength and a valuable attitude towards the recognition of life here and now are equally characteristic of both women and men, and are a manifestation of the post-traumatic activation of internal reserves of stability and strength in war conditions. It is summarized that the manifestation of the tendency to realize the destructive consequences of chronic stress may indicate a certain psychological readiness of the population for purposeful work with their own stressful conditions and emotional fatigue. The obtained results require further processing and will be used as a basis for building strategies for the restoration and preservation of the population’s health care system.
