Military events on the territory of Ukraine have acted as a factor influencing the state of mental health of the population. At the same time, healthcare professionals who provide medical care to the population, including the military, play an important role, which requires an assessment of their psychological state to ensure the proper quality of medical services. Aim. To compare the levels of sensitivity of nurses depending on the conditions and specifics of work. Material and Methods. The material was the results of a survey of nurses using the Spielberger questionnaire, which were conducted in a health care facility in Ukraine, where emergency medical care is provided, and in an oncology clinic in Poland from March to June 2023. Results and Discussion. The survey found that personal sensitivity, as a factor characterizing the individual character trait of a person, was higher among nurses from Ukraine than among Polish nurses. The level of situational sensitivity, which characterizes the emotional state of a person that arises under the influence of the circumstances, was also higher among respondents from Ukraine, which suggests that the sensitivity of emergency medical care workers in Ukraine against the background of military operations in the country has led to an increase in the levels of both personal and situational sensitivity. A survey of respondents, depending on their age, showed that the high level of personal sensitivity among healthcare workers in Ukraine significantly exceeded that of respondents from Poland, and situational sensitivity was higher in younger groups (19-40 years old). The study proved that the average level of personal sensitivity is not a basis for the emergence of a high level of its situational form. Conclusions. The specificity of the working conditions of the nursing staff of an emergency medical care hospital, combined with military events in the country, contributed to a higher level of personal and situational sensitivity compared to the characteristics of the levels of sensitivity of nursing staff of an oncology hospital outside Ukraine. External circumstances in the society have an important impact on the level of sensitivity of the staff of a medical institution, reinforcing the specifics of their working conditions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, working in any medical organization is associated with the risk of coronavirus infection. This applies first and foremost to specialized medical organizations dealing with the treatment of patients infected with coronavirus. Medical workers experiencing increased psychological stress are at an increased risk of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus while providing medical care. Therefore, studying the psychological states of medical workers – doctors, nurses, orderlies - is of particular importance and relevance. Our research goal is to investigate the psychological responses of medical professionals amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The research focused on the Aktobe Medical Center (AMC), which hosts the regional pulmonology center for COVID-19 patients and the Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital (RCIDH). The study is a selective, single-stage cross-sectional analysis. To assess the psychological reactions of medical workers, standardized questionnaires are used, including the PSM-25, GAD-7, and MFI-20. Statistical analysis of the data is conducted using the STATISTICA 10.0 software package from StatSoft, Inc., USA. An analysis of the research results indicates that medical personnel, nurses, and administrative staff in medical organizations associated with the risk of coronavirus infection are susceptible to adverse psychophysiological disorders. The study revealed that stress levels, anxiety, and asthenia in doctors and nursing staff are significantly higher compared to those in nurses and administrative personnel. Medical workers at risk of COVID- 19 clearly require support measures, as the potential for occupational infection has been definitively established. Additionally, the psychological risk is largely influenced by the nature of their work and their direct contact with the population and patients infected with the coronavirus. Senior and mid-level medical workers at the forefront of combating coronavirus infection is at a high risk of experiencing psycho-emotional and psychophysiological health issues. Doctors and nurses have been found to exhibit high levels of physical and mental asthenia, anxiety, and moderate-to-high levels of stress. Evaluating potential risk factors for psychophysiological disorders among healthcare workers not only provides an objective assessment of their health status, but also aids in the effective and rational organization of their work.
