Psychophysiological Monitoring of the State of the Organism in Elderly Female Teachers

Аннотация

The purpose of the study is to psychophysiologically monitor elderly female teachers during the dynamics of the school year. The study was conducted with the participation of 30 female teachers aged 60–61 at the beginning of the year (the background level) and after 5 and 9 months of teaching at the school. Five-minute ECG recording sections were studied with the Poly-Spectrum-Rhythm program (Neurosoft LLC). The parameters of external respiration function were studied with a Spirosoft-5000 device. The psychoemotional state of the teachers during the school year was studied with SAM methodology (state of health, activity, and mood). By the end of the school year, sympathetic influences from the autonomic nervous system on the organism of elderly female teachers increased, which was associated with a certain disorder in the rhythmic activity of the heart against the background of destabilization of the sinus rhythm and the vegetative balance of the body, and their psychoemotional state began to deteriorate. Consequently, it is advisable to monitor the activity of the cardiovascular system in female teachers during the school year for the possible prevention of various diseases and abnormalities in health status.
