Abstract

Aim of research – the study of the specificity of the professional distress influence on adaptation of a doctor-intern at the professional training.

For attaining the set aim we realized the complex examination of 213 doctors-interns of the Kharkiv national medical university of both sexes, 22 - 25 years old, observing principles of bioethics and medical deontology.  

Methods of research: clinical-anamnestic, psycodiagnostic, statistical.

Results: it was established, that women manifest the higher level of disorders of adaptation to the professional activity comparing with men. Thus, the high level of maladjustment was revealed in 9,2 % of men and 12,5 % of women; the expressed level of maladjustment - 10,3 % of men and, 14,0 % of women; the moderate level -36,2 % and 42,1 % respectively.

The specificity of clinical and psychological manifestations of adaptation disorders of doctors-interns was described. Based on complaints, anamnesis data, taking into account the additional analysis of depressive and anxiety symptoms by Hamilton scales, there were separated the asthenic  (25,5 %), hyperesthesic (21,6 %), anxious-depressive (16,2 %), psychosomatic (14,2 %), astheno-apathetic (11,4 %), addictive (11,1 %) types of maladjustment reactions.

Conclusions: The professional distress of doctors-interns results in the formation of maladjustment states (55,7 % of men and 68,6 % of women). The high maladjustment level was revealed in 9,2 % of men and 12,5 % of women; the  expressed level of maladjustment - 10,3 % of men and, 14,0 % of women; the moderate level -36,2 % and 42,1 % respectively.  

There were separated asthenic, hypersthesic, anxious-depressive, astheno-apathetic, psychosomatic and addictive variants of maladjustment reactions in doctors-interns
