Abstract

Purpose. To identify the clinical-anamnestic features of the dyssomnic syndrome in the acting military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Materials and methods. At the bases of the Military Hospital 3309 (Zaporizhzhia) and the Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Institution for The Provision of Psychiatric Care a prospective clinical-anamnestic, clinical-psychopathological and statistical research of 64 active combatants – study group (SG), and 40 patients of the borderline department with sleep disorders – control group (CG), was conducted.
Results and its discussion. During the comparative analysis of the formed groups, it was found that for SG more typical: concomitant somatic pathology
not associated with the dyssomnia syndrome – the frequency of detection of this factor in this group reached 39.1% (25 people), while in CG it did not exceed 28% (11 people); absence of concomitant mental pathology – 2 people (3.1%) in the SG versus 34 people (85%) in the CG; the presence of concomitant neurological pathology – 25 people (39.1%) SG versus 8 people (20%) CG; shorter duration of sleep disorders – only 5 people (7.8%) in SG reported that they had sleep problems for more than 5 years, versus 21 people (52.5%) in CG.
Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was found that the peculiarities of the dyssomnic syndrome in active servicemen include its isolation (it comes out on top in the clinical picture and arises against the background of neurotic pathology of the subclinical level of severity) and not susceptibility to seasonality (its intensity does not change depending on the time of year), and its development is not associated with the characteristics of social conditions, marital status, educational level or length of service.
