POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN SOLDIERS ATO
Journal Title: Праці Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue
Abstract
Until 2014, the military service in Ukraine looked rather unattractive. In the ranks of the Ukrainian military forces in most cases were drafted individuals who did not have any possibilities to escape from service in the army. It is clear that the specifi c conditions of the army service such military courtesy, hazing, the impossibility of staying alone, increased responsibility, regulated daily routine, and the other were quite different from life in the family. Today, the fi ghting in the East of Ukraine, the so-called ATO, has a massive psycho-traumatic impact on the personality of the soldiers, which inevitably leads to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). All participants in military engagements inevitably, to varying degrees, manifest changes in mental state. The emotional load, under which they constantly stay, does not allow to objectively determine the severity of their psychological state when receiving traumatic injuries. In such patients, the number of complaints is minimal, typical of the avoidance, isolation and linguistic behavior, which must necessarily be taken into account not only when diagnosis and differential diagnosis are performed, but also in treatment. In current research we examined 218 ATO soldiers with a traumatic brain injury of mild to moderate degree who were treated at a Military Medical Clinical Center of the Western Region in Lviv.
