Purpose: systematization of recommendations to the submarine command personnel on personnel management and first psychological aid in an emergency, based on the previously theoretically modeled dynamics of the psychological state of the crew of an emergency submarine.Materials and methods:analysis of methodological manuals for preserving and improving the working capacity of a person in stressful situations, studying the available literature on the actions of submarine personnel at the time of the accident.Results and discussion:based on the results of the previously studied factors affecting the dynamics of the psychological state of the crew of the damaged submarine, the selection and systematization of the available methods of influence and management of personnel in different periods of the development of the accident was carried out, possible methods of self-control and self-regulation of the psychoemotional state were proposed to the command personnel.

OBJECTIVE: To study divers’ professional (labor) activity and to develop specialty professiogram «diver» by personal and psychophysiological characteristics.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 16 people (men), aged 25–45 years, having served from 2 to more than 10 years. The methods of professional graphic research, according to the developed scheme in three stages were applied. The first stage included analysis of the governing documents, current documentation, study of work tasks and work monitoring. In the second stage there was analysis of scientific literature, containing information from the study area. Methods of observation, survey, oral intake, questionnaire and method of expert assessments were studied. The third stage analysed the method of expert assessments.RESULTS: As result of the study professiogram was developed, and highlighted professionally important qualities in it might become a significant indicator in determining professional competence in the specialty «diver» at the stage of selecting and training highly-qualified staff.DISCUSSION: The main predictors, affecting the efficiency of professional activity, are personal (type of temperament — sanguine or phlegmatic, lack of claustrophobia, switching from one activity to another, memory length, figurative thinking) and psychophysiological characteristics (noise immunity to various distractions and environmental factors, lability of the nervous system, high reaction speed, switching ability, stable coordination of movements). Their intensity allows to define professionals’ typological features and to form a picture of individual self-regulation style, behavioral reaction, backing up phsychological stability and success in performing professional tasks.

Aim: theoretical study and modelling of dynamics of psychological state of the personnel of disabled submarine in different accident periods.Materials and methods: theoretical analysis of literature sources in the context of psychological states of a person in emergency cases, including in seafarers divers, and materials describing chronology of accident progression at submarines.Results and discussion: from the results of analysis of studies of psychological states and available information about accidents at submarines, systematization of theoretical data was carried out and factors affecting the change of psychological states of submarine personnel in different accident periods were described.
