Abstract

The article discusses the problem of the psycho-emotional state of military personnel and the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is one of the most common problems of modern military conflicts. PTSD negatively affects the combat capability of the military, their social adaptation and quality of life after returning to civilian life. It has been determined that a significant number of PTSD cases remain undiagnosed due to the lack of effective systems for monitoring and supporting the psycho-emotional state. 
The study proposes a model for monitoring and managing the psycho-emotional state of military personnel, which includes the use of psychodiagnostics, emotion scaling, physiological monitoring and psychological interventions to identify and overcome the disorder. Particular attention is paid to approaches to such components of the model as emotional self-regulation, cognitive restructuring, and the use of relaxation methods to ensure a stable psycho-emotional state of servicemen. In developing this model, we have taken into account national and international standards and proposed practical interventions aimed at reducing risks and improving the mental state of servicemen.
