Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the problem of preserving the mental health of society during crisis events that can influence the development of various forms of destructive mental disorders in the population. In this regard, the purpose of the research work was to determine the characteristics of a person’s personal characteristics in the context of preserving his mental resources to fight uncertainty, as well as finding effective ways to restore the psychological well-being of the population in war conditions. The theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific research was a combination of qualitative methods of structural and functional analysis of providing psychological support to society during the period of martial law, as well as a systematic approach to the study of the social conditioning of the formation of tolerance to uncertainty in a person. In particular, several surveys were conducted on the problems of intolerance to uncertainty and psychological well-being of the individual. The scientific work presents the results that reflect the problem of the personal qualities of a person to withstand the burden of crisis events that are associated with situations of uncertainty, in particular, psychological self-regulation, which allows to adequately perceive problems and find productive solutions to solve them. The article also highlights the issues of intolerance, self-identity and personal maturity of a person, which reveal the content of his individual perception and interpretation of situations of uncertainty. The obtained data also reflect the problem of the impact of crisis circumstances on the formation of a person’s predisposition to mental disorders. At the same time, the research paper highlights issues of personal anxiety and worries about the future, as well as reveals the specifics of public health care in different countries.
