PERSPECTIVE NONPHARMACOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES OF OPTIMIZATION OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL QUALITIES AND WORKING CAPACITY OF OPERATORS

In connection with the growing tension and responsibility of the activities of professional operators, it is necessary to improve the means and methods of their medical and psychophysiological support. Purpose — assessment of the effect of combined physiotherapeutic procedures — CPP (contrasting thermal effects, vibratory massage of the spine and feet, aromatherapy, music therapy) with and without transcranial electrostimulation (TES) on the psychophysiological status and working capacity of operators. Materials and methods. Surveyed 26 professional operators (male) aged 27– 38 years, divided into 2 equal in size groups: the main (MG) and control (CG). All the examined individuals were used the CPP base complex, implemented in a physiotherapy capsule. The complex consisted of 14 daily 45-minute CPP in standard mode. For the MG, the 35-minute TES procedures, also performed in standard mode, were additionally included in the base complex. Prior to the appointment of correctional complexes and after their completion, the subjects were tested for sensorimotor qualities and operator performance. Results. The use of correctional complexes in both groups resulted in positive changes in psychophysiological qualities (acceleration of sensorimotor reactions, reduction in hand tremor) and operator performance (increased attention stability, amount of random access memory, improvement of mental operations). However, in the MG, the identified changes were more pronounced: the level of tremor in this group decreased by 13–14% compared with the baseline, while in the CG — only by 6–7% (p=0,037); the time of the complex sensorimotor reaction decreased on average by 5,1%, in the CG — by 3,8% (p=0,049); the integral indicator of operator’s working capacity in the MG increased on average by 10.8%, in the CG — by 7,7% (p=0,039). Conclusion. The developed correctional complex with the inclusion of TES is a highly effective and safe non-pharmacological technology of emergency optimization of psychophysiological qualities and working capacity of operators.
