Development and Verification of the Technology for Socio-Pedagogical and Psychological Rehabilitation of Children Affected by Military Actions Through Health-Enhancing Recreational Physical Activity

Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop and verify the technology for socio-pedagogical and psychological rehabilitation of children affected by military actions through the use of health-enhancing recreational physical activity. The research focuses on creating innovative tools to promote the physical, psychological, and social recovery of children, considering the current challenges of Ukrainian society. Methods. The study employed methods of analyzing scientific sources, synthesizing theoretical and empirical data, and conducting interdisciplinary research. The theoretical foundations of the developed technology were based on transcendental, dialectical, systemic, sociocultural, personal, and axiological approaches. Results. The proposed technology demonstrated high effectiveness in restoring the physical, psychological, and social resources of children affected by military actions. The main criteria for evaluating its effectiveness included the level of physical activity, indicators of physical and mental performance, quality of life, life satisfaction, and cognitive functions. The program consists of three periods: preparatory, supportive, and consolidating, which facilitated the gradual formation of a habit for regular physical activity and a positive attitude toward participation. The integration of socio-pedagogical and psychological approaches contributed to a comprehensive rehabilitation process. Conclusions. The study's findings confirmed that health-enhancing recreational physical activity is a powerful tool for socio-pedagogical and psychological rehabilitation of children affected by military actions. Key factors in the successful implementation of the program included inclusivity, adaptability, a supportive environment, and an interdisciplinary approach. Future efforts should focus on overcoming resource constraints, enhancing specialist qualifications, and adapting the technology to meet the individual needs of children for its scalability.
