By categorizing stimuli associated with traumatic professional experiences, the study aims to enhance existing therapeutic protocols through exposure therapy. The specific objectives are as follows:1. Analysis and characterization of occupational workloads among doctors and emergency medical personnel, focusing on the scale of burdens associated with PTSD symptoms.2. Development of categories for aggravating and potentially traumatizing stimuli within the medical staff of rescue teams.3. Examination of the feasibility of incorporating the obtained results into cognitive-behavioral therapy protocols.4. Assessment of the potential for implementing the results in solutions utilizing virtual reality technology.5.
