MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPT OF STRENGTHENING THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH OF WORKERS AND CRITICISM OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH

Abstract

In the «Concept of Development of the Public Health System» it is noted that the Soviet health care system has remained unchanged. This system practically ignores the needs of a healthy population, which makes it impossible to contain and comprehensively influence the increase in the level of non-infectious diseases. Therefore, the Concept notes that there is a need for new approaches and the development of programs for solving problems in the field of public health, since the existing system of medical care in Ukraine does not include a preventive component. Our attention was drawn to the paper [4], in which a generalizing psychological concept and programs for strengthening the professional health of workers are presented. The purpose of the study is the analysis of the main provisions of Health Management, based on the psychological concept of improving the health of workers, as well as a substantive criticism of the proposed approach. It is shown that programs to strengthen the professional health of specialists are a set of company measures of an organizational and individual nature, aimed at stress prevention and the formation of methods of combating their consequences. I. A. Burlakova notes that the content of the professional self-preservation program is aт individual process, there cannot be permanently set solutions. In general, agreeing with the proposed approach to strengthening professional health on the part of the company, let's pay attention to its components, which are at the level of expectations, and not an action plan. These are used phrases that are not provided with appropriate measures in the content of the concept: «instinct of self-preservation», "stimulation of a healthy lifestyle», «readiness for constant self-change» etc. We have proven that the topic of non-professional physical education (NpFE) of students is on the agenda, which instead contributes to the inclusion of the individual in the construction of own health.
