Rapid noncontact diagnostics of psychophysiological state in workers of hazardous industries

Relevance . Improvement of the medico-psycho-physiological support of professional activity of employees of hazardous production facilities is associated with the development of methods for rapid diagnostics of psycho-physiological state in order to significantly reduce examination time. In particular, vibration imaging takes only one minute. Currently, there are no quantitative criteria for assessing the psychophysiological state based on vibration imaging in employees involved in hazardous work at the stages of periodic, pre-shift medical examinations and training. Intention . Development of non-contact rapid diagnostics of psychophysiological status of employees involved in hazardous work based on vibration imaging parameters for periodic and pre-shift medical examinations, and assessing their current state during training. Methodology . The object of the study was the psychophysiological state of employees of the temporary storage of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste at the stages of periodic and pre-shift medical examination, as well as during training. The subject of the study is assessment of relationship of indicators of psychophysiological state with the parameters of vibration imaging. Results and Discussion . According to comprehensive tests with the use of regulated and non-contact methods of assessing psychophysiological state of the workers of hazardous facilities, the parameters of vibration imaging reflect the systemic response of the body. Using the developed criterion of the rapid diagnostics of psychophysiological state at the stage of periodic medical examinations, it takes 1 minute to identify persons with psychophysiological disorders. For the stage of pre-shift medical examinations, a criterion has been developed to make a decision on admission/non-admission to work. The obtained criterion helps to quantify the psychophysiological “price” of training activities in order to optimize their regimens based on the current psychophysiological state as assessed via vibration image parameters. Conclusion . The developed criteria for rapid diagnostics of psychophysiological status, if introduced in scientific-practical activities, will help to monitor the psychophysiological adaptation of workers of hazardous facilities in order to maintain their occupational health and minimize anthropogenic risks.
