Abstract

The article presents the results of the empirical study of psychological health of medical workers of intensive care. The study was conducted on the basis of a large multi-profile institution Saint-Petersburg State Budgetary Institution of Health Care “Hospital of war veterans” from 18/09/2019 to 21/10/2019. Here specialists provide qualified medical care to veterans and participants of the Great Patriotic War, residents of besieged Leningrad, combat veterans, people equated to them by benefits and other categories of citizens. Up to 2000 patients with severe cardiac pathology are treated annually in intensive care units of the cardiology profile. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation doctors and nurses of the intensive care unit provide round-the-clock medical help with severe heart rhythm disorders, myocardial infarction, acute heart and respiratory failure and other complications. The anesthesiologists-resuscitators and nurses of the Department of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care № 2 took part in this research.

In the course of the research the relationship between the resources of psychological health and the value - semantic orientations of medical workers has been established. A strong connection of psychological health resources with long-term planning of resuscitation specialists has been found. There is also a link between a resource of psychological health, such as existentiality, and a focus on one's own capabilities in difficult life situations. Health workers focused on values of higher rate more often exhibit such resources of psychological health as proactivity and existentiality. The results of the study can be used to solve the problem of maintaining psychological health by turning to the value -semantic sphere of the health worker's personality.
