Фільманаліз у роботі психолога: практичний посібник / Національна академія педагогічних наук України, Інститут соціальної та політичної психології. Кропивницький: Імекс-ЛТД, 2020. 96 c. Хто з нас, хоча б на мить, не поринав в обійми кінематографа, щоб дістати задоволення, зняти психологічне напруження, відпочити. Навіть завзяті трудоголіки вдаються до використання «чарівної палички» кіно. У складних, стресових ситуаціях кіно перетворюється на швидкий і доступний засіб порятунку власної психіки від перевантажень. Під час війни, коли більшість людей вважає, що «розслабитися неможливо / варто працювати», а час від часу все ж таки відчуває, що варто «розслабитися / бо неможливо працювати», постає проблема контрольованого відволікання, хоча б на короткий час, від жахливих травм війни та пов’язаних з ними емоційних переживань. І це подекуди можна зробити тільки за допомогою старого доброго кіно. Коли театр, філармонія фізично недоступні, а книги вимагають зосередженос...

Materials and methods: A scoping review was conducted by utilising PubMed, Scopus, PsychINFO scientific databases (765 articles were found). In addition to IASC MHPSS intervention pyramid as our framework, we used a combination of inductive and de¬ductive coding to find common themes in facilitators and barriers to the effectiveness of interventions within each layer. To geographically illustrate the locations of war-affected areas and their correlating intervention types, we developed a visual map Conclusions: The phenomenon of unequal distribution of interventions (concentrated in West Asia, North and sub-Saharan Africa, with no interventions (found in literature) in South American o...

Materials and methods: The data collection was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar databases. Research papers were identified according to the search terms “cyberspace”, “cyberpsychology”, “digital media”, “virtual reality”, “social networks”, “mental health”, “psychological well-being”, “beauty”, “beauty standards”. The authors used integrative anthropological approach, interpretive research paradigm, and multidisciplinary analysis. Conclusion: The digital world is a relatively recent phenomenon, therefore, the potential relationship between its use and mental health and psychological well-being has not yet been adequately explored. Most of the research has been conducted over the last decades; and until now the scientific community has not been able to fully interpret the obtained results and come to final conclusion...

The focus was specifically on the availability, duration, target group, content, setting, and outcomes of the interventions. Materials and methods: A scoping review was conducted by utilising several scientific databases. A total of 479 articles were found after removing the duplicate records. After screening, 36 articles were included in the study. Relevant intervention characteristics were systematically mapped, and compared within and among countries. Conclusions: All interventions had shared aims to improve the psychological resilience and to reduce psychological distress. In particular, anxiety- and depression-related symptoms were commonly addressed. On average, interventions in China were larger scaled, had longer durations, and often used combinations of strategies such as therapies and exercises both in-person and remotely. Interventions in Western-Europe tend t...

Materials and methods: The study included 120 patients with GERD. All the patients were divided in two groups: Group I - GERD was not accompanied by the signs of connective tissue disease (n=45) and Group II - GERD developed on the background of UCTD syndrome (n=75). Daily transnasal pH monitoring was performed to determine the nature of pathological refluxes. EDS was detected by The Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Active ghrelin in blood plasma samples was determined by ELISA. Results: 80% of the patients of Group II and 35.48% of Group I suffered from EDS (p<0.05). The mean daily AET index was 5.48±0.4% in Group II and 6±0.2% in Group I, in the night hours mostly when patients were i...

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among nursing students. Data were collected via an e-survey consisting of five parts including HADS Questionary, SF-36, B-RCOPE and Subjective Happiness scale. Results: From the total of 200 nursing students the 86.5% were female, 35.5% were in their first year of study, 54% were single and 65.5 were urban residents. 51.9% of the students were experiencing anxiety and 31,5% were depressed. In regard to subjective happiness, the mean value was 4.51±1.27. In addition, the majority of the students consider themselves unhappy (67.5%). Finally, in regard to SF-36 scores, we observed that PCS mean score was 68.49±13.19, MCS56.12±24.23. Depression, as well as negative religious coping, can have a negative effect on both physical and mental he...
