Objective: Aim: To conduct a structural analysis of cardiological signs of adaptation to stressogenic cognitive loads by identifying factor features of correlations between heart rate variability (HRV) and coping-testing data indicators., Patients and Methods: Materials and Methods: 43 people aged 19.7±1.8 years (23 boys and 20 girls) were monitored for their HRV. Methods included DC-06000 portable ECG recorder, 3X series "badge" type (single channel) and COPE Test. The study process includes four stages., Results: Results: As a result of further factor correlation analysis, it was revealed that Factor 1 "HRV Stress Indicators" has a negative correlation (p<0.05) of "moderate" strength ρs= -0.363 with Factor 2 "Strategies to avoid problems and stresses" and a positive correlation of "weak" strength ρs=0.167 with Factor 3 "Psychoemotional Indicators". If two factors correlate with each other, it indicates they are related and can interact, which is important for adequate interpretation of the results of factor analysis., Conclusion: Conclusions: Structural analysis of the complex of cardiological signs of adaptivity to stressogenic cognitive loads and coping-testing data revealed the existence of three correlated factors: Factor 1 "HRV Stress Scores", Factor 2 "Strategies to avoid problems and stress", Factor 3 "Psychoemotional indicators". The revealed negative correlation of Factors 1 and 2 may indicate that in case the impact of Factor 2 "Strategies to avoid problems and stress" increases, the intensity of Factor 1 "HRV Stress Scores" (i.e., stress signs according to the indicators of heart rate variability) may decrease.

Objective: The aim: To determine the dynamics of adaptation resources and the level of psychological safety of the personality in service members of the National Guard of Ukraine who participated in combat operations in the East of Ukraine., Patients and Methods: Materials and methods: To determine the peculiarities of military personnel adaptation to the combat activity, the "Adaptability-200" and "Disdaptability-45" methodologies were used. To determine the level of psychological safety of combatants we used "Diagnosis of psychological safety personality" and "Express diagnosis of psychological safety personality" Methodologies. The study was carried out during 2017, with 163 military participating., Results: Results: Being 2-3 weeks in combat conditions, 54% service members revealed high, 32% - average level of adaptability, and in 14% of them signs of non-adaptability were detected. The data of adaptation resources of combatants correlates with the results of diagnostics of psychological safety of personality: in 43% of them high level, 42% - average and 15% - low level of psychological safety were revealed., Conclusion: Conclusions: The data obtained in the absolute majority of service members (86%) shows a good adaptability to combat conditions, and allows predicting adequate response to extreme conditions, high probability of preserving of the mental health and disability after the influence of vital factors.

Objective: Introduction: The purpose of educational process in higher educational establishments is to train specialist who has fully mastered the professional competencies for performing daily activities and for action in non-standard situations, which can occur during fulfilling obligations. The aim: Compare the formation of professional competence and practical skills as important part of increasing effectiveness of specialists training; check the correspondence with current legal acts, which regulate the first aid training., Patients and Methods: Materials and methods: The bibliography method, info-analytic method, the comparative method, and logical method were used in our research., Conclusion: Conclusion: Improvement of complex first aid curriculum for professionals of emergency service is determined the increasing of the level of psychological readiness for performing professional duties.
