Annotation. Sexuality is closely related to a person's personality, determines his behavior, affects self-esteem and psycho-emotional state. The criteria of sexual norm are based on the concept of mental health, based on the tendency to development and self-realization, the ability to manage their actions and deeds in accordance with personal values, the ability to adequately perceive themselves and others, as well as learning based on personal experience. The aim of the research is to study the sexual education and the main problems associated with it among 4th year students of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya (NPMMU, V). We conducted an anonymous survey of 308 medical students of the fourth year of NPMMU, V with the help of a questionnaire created by the authors and included 20 questions about various aspects of the respondents' sexual life. The analysis of the obtained results of the study was carried out on the basis of the computer program Statistica 6.1 using nonparametric methods for assessing the results obtained. It was found that among medical students there is a rather low level of education in terms of sexual topics, the age of sexual debut in the overwhelming number is 18-20 years; but the percentage of virgins is also quite high (22.2%).
Annotation. Autonomic dysfunction syndrome is one of the most common disorders, which has a wide range of interpretations among specialists of different profiles. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) occupies a significant place in the development of somatic pathology. The course and manifestation of all pathological conditions is associated with autonomic dysfunction. Together with vegetative disorders, depressive disorders are also widespread among students. The aim of the study: to identify the clinical psychopathological features of somatized depressive disorders and autonomic dysfunction among sexually active students in comparison with students without a sexual debut of 4th year of study at Vinnytsya National Pirogov Memorial Medical University. A survey of 308 medical students was carried out. Obtained data were analyzed using the program “Statistica 6.1” using nonparametric methods of estimation of the obtained results. It was found that among medical students is a very high percentage of depressive disorders (96.1%) and disorders of autonomic function (69.8%). However, the manifestations of vascular dysfunction in young people are not related to their sexual activity. Mild and minimal manifestations of depressive disorders are also not associated with sexual activity. Symptoms of very severe depression are more prevalent in virgin girls than in sexually active girls and boys.
