E. Asadov - « Happy man..."

Who and what is a happy person?

I personally would answer the question like this:

Lucky is he who has received for a century

Two songs - two loves in the world.

No need for jokes and "calm down the passions"!

Not bigamy! It's not about that!

Yes, two loves. And save each

That will be real happiness!

No, not all and not always

You could say: "I love my job,

Ready to work up a sweat

And I am happy from my favorite work!

G.V. Rezapkina, Moscow, "Genesis", 2007, 140 pp.)

“In order for people to find happiness in their work, three conditions are necessary: ​​the work must be within their power, it must not be exhausting, and it must be accompanied by success,” noted the English writer J. Ruskin.

The need for work for a normal person is as natural as the need for food and rest. Overwork or idleness is just as harmful to health as too much or too little sleep and food. An illness can also be provoked by an unloved job.

Despite all the achievements of civilization, doctors note the growth of neuropsychiatric diseases, the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal tract, etc. Very often these diseases are professionally conditioned. Entrepreneurs, managers, administrators, leaders most often experience stressful situations caused by the need to make decisions and take responsibility, increased competition and fear of losing their status. A special risk group is made up of people with an overestimated level of claims - those who seek to take a place that does not correspond to their capabilities.

Almost all professions have their own requirements for human health. Conventionally, all these requirements can be divided into four groups:

  • motor : coordination of movements, strength and muscle endurance;
  • analyzer : sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste;
  • neuropsychiatric : strength, mobility, balance of the nervous system;
  • intellectual : properties of thinking, attention and memory.

Many professions make high demands on human health, because they can be associated with significant eye strain (operator, watchmaker, jeweler), standing for a long time (salesman, dentist, hairdresser), high neuropsychic stress (teacher, administrator). Some professions require special selection (vocational selection), which includes determining the candidate's suitability for health reasons, determining professional suitability based on a socio-psychological and psycho-physiological study of the candidate's personality. Professional selection of applicants is carried out by many military educational establishments, institutions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the FSB and other federal services.

When choosing a profession, you need to think about how it will affect your health: will it cause an exacerbation of existing chronic diseases or the emergence of new ones?

Detailed information about medical contraindications for work and industrial training of adolescents can be found in the reference books prepared by the Research Institute of Hygiene for Children and Adolescents of the Ministry of Health, which contains more than 1,400 professions that can be obtained in vocational schools (vocational schools, technical schools, universities).

According to working conditions, significant in terms of maintaining health, professions can be divided into four groups:

  1. living conditions;
  2. moderate or intermittent adverse effects;
  3. simultaneous impact of several adverse factors;
  4. heavy and harmful conditions labor.

Medical fitness restrictions

Diseases Contraindicated occupational factors
Respiratory organs Unfavorable microclimate, gas pollution, dustiness, contact with toxic substances, significant physical stress.
Of cardio-vascular system Significant physical stress, unfavorable microclimate, contact with toxic substances, work at height near moving mechanisms.
organs of vision Working with small parts, significant physical stress, dustiness.
nervous system Neuro-emotional stress, noise and vibration, unfavorable microclimate, contact with toxic substances.
Musculoskeletal system Static working posture, significant physical stress (lifting and carrying weights), work at height near moving mechanisms.
Digestive organs Contact with toxic substances, significant physical and nervous tension, a working posture associated with tension in the abdominal muscles, with a violation of the diet.
Kidney and urinary tract Unfavorable microclimate, contact with toxic substances, forced working posture, work associated with a violation of the diet.

Health problems can complicate professional activities, but an unloved job can lead a person to a nervous breakdown, psychosomatic diseases, loss of interest in life, unless, of course, a person has other values ​​​​except career and material well-being.

    German doctors drew attention to a strange phenomenon: the influenza epidemic that covers the population in December does not affect postmen. Why? Yes, because they have no time to get sick: on the eve of Christmas and New Year, the mail can hardly cope with the flow of congratulatory letters and telegrams.

Human behavior can be directed either to self-destruction or self-preservation. Many scientists have noted the relationship between human health and his emotions and character. Envy, anger and irritation claim more lives than epidemics. Remaining health is taken away bad habits- alcoholism, smoking, laziness and gluttony, characteristic of people who are weak and weak-willed. Habits are formed in childhood, so at an older age, significant efforts are needed to get rid of those that will interfere with your whole life and form those that will help you stay healthy and achieve success.

The Vegetative Lability Questionnaire, compiled by Czech psychologists and tested at the Research Institute of Hygiene and Prevention of Diseases in Children, Adolescents and Youth of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, will help you indirectly assess the state of your health.

Vegetative lability is the body's ability to adequately respond to unusual environmental influences.

Read the statements and think about how similar they are to your own experience:

1. In the morning it is difficult for me to get up on time, I do not feel cheerful. 2. I find it difficult to concentrate when I get to work. 3. When something upsets me or when I am afraid of something, an unpleasant feeling arises in my stomach. 4. In the morning I limit myself to just a cup of tea or coffee. 5. I am often cold. 6. When I have to stand for a long time, I want to lean on something. 7. With a sharp tilt, I feel dizzy or dark in my eyes. 8. I get uncomfortable if I am at a high altitude or in indoors. 9. I often have headaches. 10. When I need to concentrate, I can swing my leg, bite my nails, draw something, etc. 11. I usually use the elevator because it is difficult for me to climb stairs. 12. When public speaking My heart is racing, my throat is tight, my hands are sweaty. 13. When sitting still in one place, sleep overcomes me. 14. I know what it means to "blush to the roots of the hair." 15. Some events made me feel nauseous or have no appetite.

The more no, the less reason you have to worry about your health. More than half of the positive answers are a signal of trouble. Pay attention to your lifestyle, mode of work and rest.

If more than ten statements refer to familiar sensations, you should pay attention to how you feel. If you intend to choose a job that involves chronic neuro-emotional and physical stress, you should consult your doctor.

Ten Steps to Self-Confidence

  1. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses and accordingly formulate what you want from life.
  2. Never talk bad about yourself, others will do it for you.
  3. Allow yourself to relax, listen to your thoughts, do what you like.
  4. Your friends and family are also insecure. Try to help them.
  5. Set two or three main goals in life for yourself.
  6. Think about what intermediate goals you need to achieve in order to achieve the main goals.
  7. Decide what needs to be done to achieve them, and stick to your decision.
  8. Rejoice in each of your successes on the way to these goals, praise yourself.
  9. Remember that you are the embodiment of the hopes of your parents, you are the image and likeness of God, you are the creator of your life.
  10. If you are confident in yourself, then the obstacle will become a challenge for you, and the challenge will encourage you to take action.

A true professional treats his tool with care, whether it is a computer, a scalpel, a camera or a machine tool. Our body is more than a tool. And most importantly, it is given to us once in a lifetime. Your health is one of the factors of a successful professional career.

Even a cursory acquaintance with the world of professions convinces us that not only a person makes his own demands on future work, but the work dictates its conditions to that.

The health of a student with disabilities and the choice of a profession

HEALTH OF SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH DIFFICULTY

AND CHOICE OF PROFESSION.

Professional orientation of schoolchildren designed to help them choose the right profession to determine your life path.

It is known that professional orientation is first formed in adolescence. However, adolescents themselves are not able to assess their capabilities, the degree of development in them of precisely those qualities and properties that are required for a particular professions and ensure the success of its development, in addition, adolescents are poorly oriented in working conditions and the nature of various professions, in the requirements that are imposed by one or another professional labor to the body. Adolescents are characterized by an overestimation of their physical capabilities, the inability to correlate the state of their health with the requirements of the chosen activity. Unfortunately, this is often not taken into account by parents.

Sociological studies conducted in recent years have shown that 20% of high school students in a number of Moscow schools were going to choose a profession, which, as it turned out, did not suit them at all health. Only 7% of respondents schoolchildren when choosing a profession take into account the state of health, and only less than a third of parents paid attention to this important issue when recommending children of one kind or another vocational training Meanwhile, science has proven that only properly selected labor, corresponding to the capabilities of the body, does not violate the normal development and condition health young man , while profession, not corresponding physical development And health, can cause significant damage to a growing organism.

From the foregoing, it is clear that adolescents need help with choosing their future.

An important condition for the preservation health are: medical examinations before teenagers enter vocational training for any, even the easiest, specialties. Their purpose is to determine the state health, its suitability according to the state health to the chosen profession or recommendation of the profession, which is most appropriate for physical development and health. Preliminary medical examinations (before entering the school, college, work) carried out in polyclinics by all specialists. Based on the examination data, the doctor makes a conclusion about the condition health and recommend suitable professional activity .

Similar examinations of students in grades 7-10 are currently being carried out in schools. Based on an inspection school The physician makes a recommendation as to which professional profile activity is the most suitable for each of them according to the state health in which vocational schools, technical schools or universities it is more expedient for them to study.

Parents need to be well aware health son or daughter and in case of illness or deviation in the state health psychologically prepare them for the fact that a number of professions, perhaps those that they have chosen for themselves will be harmful to them, recommend them choice more suitable professions. This will save the teenager from psychological trauma, conflict, dissatisfaction.

Age-related features determine the increased sensitivity of adolescents to all unfavorable conditions. external conditions and factors production: high and low air temperature, noise, dust, chemicals, etc. When working in such conditions, adolescents quickly experience changes in their condition health caused by adverse factors. In addition, during the period of enhanced growth and development, temporary age-related deviations occur in the state health, and adolescents with such deviations need restrictions on certain types of labor, since if not favorable conditions work, these age-related deviations can become more persistent and pronounced.

Different types professional activities impose completely different requirements, including increased ones, to some organs and systems. It depends on the degree of participation in the work of different organs - vision, hearing, limbs, etc.

Yes, a large number professions place increased demands on the organ of vision. These include the so-called visual work:

requiring great precision, and, therefore, associated with eye strain, i.e. professions fine fine instrumentation:

Working with clockwork

Work with computer,

Work in the optical-mechanical production,

typographic professions(proofreading,

typesetting,

jewelry, etc.

posing an increased risk to the eye injuries:

turning profession,

milling profession,

locksmith profession,

carpentry profession,

hot shop professions, etc.. P.

requiring proper distinction colors:

for seamstress, tailor,

for shoemakers,

for workers in the radio engineering industry,

for transport workers, etc.

Very accurate small works require good vision, but when performing them, you can wear glasses, and if vision improves with glasses, then you can master these professions, for example, sewing, shoe, machine, plumbing, radio engineering, carpentry profiles, mechanical adjustment works, watchmaking specialties.

Other work does not require great precision, but vision must be good without glasses, since wearing glasses during their performance is difficult or completely impossible (at altitude, under adverse weather conditions, in conditions of high dust).

Therefore, teenagers with low vision, even well corrected by glasses, will not be able to master building trades, shipbuilding profile, foundries, forging and pressing, spinning and weaving shops, electrician work, cookery, etc.

Many professions cannot be performed in violation of movements in the hands, especially in the absence of fingers, their curvature, stiffness, for some works it matters good condition lower extremities (performed while standing, associated with lifting to a height).

A number of specialties place increased demands on the cardiovascular system (for example, physical work, in a forced working position, in hot shops, on the nervous system (intense conveyor labor rhythm, professions services, etc.).

The body is also influenced by the conditions in which work is performed; high or low air temperature, noise, dust, etc. This should also be taken into account when recommending professions for teenagers for which these conditions are harmful.

All of the above indicates that even healthy teenagers, having such deviations that they interfere little in Everyday life(for example, low vision, well corrected by glasses, flat feet, slight curvature of the spine, etc., need correct career choice and therefore on the advice of a teenage doctor. Only a doctor can correctly solve the problem of professional suitability of a teenager with deviations in the state health.

With severe curvature of the spine, as described above, professions requiring prolonged sitting in a crouched posture (work of a seamstress, knitter, radio installer, watchmaker) or lifting heavy weights are not recommended; More suitable are the specialties of metalwork and assembly for small-scale assembly, acceptance control, mechanical adjustment and the like, but without lifting and carrying heavy loads.

Adolescents suffering from chronic heart diseases (congenital or rheumatic heart, kidney, lung defects, are more limited to work, however, they can also learn a lot occupations in professional- technical schools, such that are carried out in favorable conditions, in dry heated rooms, without physical overload, without climbing to a height; they are suitable for assembly and assembly specialties in instrument making, some professions garment production, drawing, engraving, etc.

It is not necessary here to give details of professional suitability of adolescents suffering from various diseases; we pursued the goal of drawing the attention of parents to this important issue, but the doctor specifically decides it for each teenager.

It is important to remember that a fairly large number of adolescents who graduate school and about to start work training, needs a doctor's consultation for proper career choice according to the state health. This is needed not only by patients (by the way, there are not so many of them, but also healthy boys and girls having unsharply expressed deviations or functional changes. The consultation should be held well before the end schools so that the student prepares himself for the fact that, perhaps, some types of professional activity which he has previously chosen for himself will be unsuitable for him, that he should focus on another type of specialty. The earlier this is done, the less painful and tangible the reorientation is, the more opportunities there are to prepare in a timely manner for the correct career choice. It is best to consult a doctor about professional fitness at the end of seventh, beginning of eighth grade.

To help work on professional orientation of adolescents with diseases and disabilities health lists of medical contraindications for training in professionally- technical schools, technical schools and universities, available in the teenage rooms of polyclinics, where you should contact for advice on career choice. In addition, offices have now been set up in many cities vocational guidance, where competent specialists (psychologists, physiologists, educators, including doctors) give advice on a suitable professions taking into account his inclinations, abilities, development, personal qualities and states health.

Help a teenager career choice- one of the most important and responsible parental responsibilities. One should not neglect such a factor as the influence of family labor traditions on children. Unfortunately, not all families have a rule - to acquaint their children with the work of adults. When schoolchildren are asked, where and by whom their parents work, who their grandparents were, they often find it difficult to answer or answer very uncertainly and in monosyllables. Meanwhile, they learn with interest that grandfather has great labor merits, marked by thanks, diplomas, prizes, and mother's portrait is on the Hall of Fame that dad has inventions, he is an excellent innovator.

Raising family labor pride is an important and necessary matter. Love for work, respect for working people begin to take shape in the family largely under the influence of family traditions. Underestimate this mighty remedy moral education unforgivable.

A true professional treats his tool with care, whether it is a computer, a scalpel, a camera or a machine tool. Our body is more than a tool. And most importantly, it is given to us once in a lifetime. Your health is one of the factors for a successful professional career. There are medical contraindications for some professions, but are there any psychological contraindications? Indeed, diseases of the cardiovascular system forever close the road to pilots, and visual impairments are unlikely to make it possible to become a professional driver.

A very important stage in the life of a student is the choice of a future profession. At the same time, about 80% of school graduates have restrictions in choosing a specialty for health reasons. Therefore, before submitting documents to the admissions office of any educational institution, adolescents with health problems should receive professional medical advice.

What is medical professional advice?

Medical professional consultation is a consultation by a doctor of adolescents with health problems in order to choose an educational institution and a future profession that best suits their state of physical and mental health. This takes into account the performance of a teenager at school, his inclination to a particular profession, predicts the influence of production and professional factors on the occurrence and course of the pathological process, as well as the possibility of mastering the recommended profession in the presence of existing deviations in health.

Medical professional consultation and further employment of adolescents with health problems are included in the system of medical and social rehabilitation measures carried out in primary health care.

At what age is a medical professional consultation held?

Medical professional consultation of adolescents suffering from chronic diseases is carried out in several stages.

The initial stage is individual counseling for schoolchildren in grades 4-8.

The task of this stage is to form professional definition in children. At the same time, the doctor guides sick adolescents to the choice of professions and specialties that are not contraindicated for them for health reasons. At this stage, the "Medical card" is started. professional advice", which is pasted into Medical card child (form No. 26/y, 2000).

It is especially important to get medical professional advice for schoolchildren with chronic diseases before submitting documents to continue their education in specialized classes. secondary school, since the professions planned at the same time may be contraindicated for them for health reasons.

The second is the stage of the final formation of a professional orientation.

It is held at the completion of incomplete or complete secondary education, respectively, in grades 9 and 11. In the individual selection of professions and specialties at this stage, the abilities, interests and desires of a teenager suffering from chronic pathology are taken into account, which makes it possible to avoid psychological trauma, which is inevitable if it is necessary to change his initial decision due to medical contraindications.

At the same time, for the admissions committee of the educational institution where the teenager enters, a Medical Certificate (form 086 / y) is issued with the “Conclusions on medical professional consultation” entered there.

Where can they get qualified advice on this issue?

According to the order of the Ministry of Health No. 154 of 05.05.1999, the conduct of medical professional consultations is entrusted to the school doctor, and in their absence, to the district pediatrician. Adolescents with complex diseases should be sent to the Medical Commission in the clinic, where they are individually selected future profession. In particularly difficult cases, upon request medical commission occupational health doctors of the Rospotrebnadzor Center are involved in resolving the issue of professional suitability and employment of a teenager.

Disabled children from childhood can receive such advice from the commission for medical and social expertise at the place of residence. For disabled adolescents entering educational institutions, the range of available professions and specialties can be expanded, in comparison with the Lists, if the training is carried out in specially created conditions, and in the future the graduate is provided with rational employment corresponding to his state of health.

What normative documents can adolescents and their parents use in this case?

The main documents when receiving medical professional advice are: "List of medical contraindications for work and industrial training of adolescents in professions and specialties ... Collections 1-9", "List of medical contraindications for the admission of applicants to secondary specialized institutions", "List of medical contraindications for the admission of applicants to institutions of higher learning". These Lists contain recommendations for rational education and employment of people with severe health problems.

How to choose a place of study?

It is more expedient for a teenager with pronounced deviations in the state of health, living in a prosperous family, to receive education at the place of residence. In this case, a favorable family environment and familiar living conditions will help him better adapt to new learning conditions.

In case of unfavorable conditions in the family or negative impact youth company surrounding a teenager, it is better for him to be trained in another city.

Adolescents with health problems are recommended to undergo a consultation with a psychologist - at school or at the Center for Professional Counseling and Psychological Support for Youth to determine their propensity for a particular type of activity.
