Annotation. The aim of the work was to carry out a comprehensive hygienic assessment and determine the peculiarities of the formation of the character traits of students who acquire a specialty in the conditions of study at a higher medical education institution. Scientific research involved the identification of the leading character traits of modern students who were at different stages of education (initial (1st year), intermediate (3rd year) and final (5th year) stages) and was carried out using Shmishek and Mini-mult personality questionnaires, personal 16 PF questionnaire Cattell too. The analysis of the obtained results involved the application of descriptive statistics procedures using the package of statistical analysis programs “Statistica 6.1” (license number ВXXR901E245722FA). In the course of the research, it was established that in the structure of the leading signs of accented character traits throughout the entire period of study, both among young girls and young boys, indicators prevailed, which should be divided into several blocks. According to the degree of expression, the indicators of character accentuations according to exalted, hyperthymic and cyclothymic types should be assigned to the first block, to the second block – indicators of character accentuations according to exciting, emotional, pedantic and demonstrative types, to the third block – indicators of character accentuations according to stuck, anxious and dysthymic types, and therefore the data worst in terms of content should not be considered the most pronounced. At the same time, the existence of a number of unfavourable trends, which are registered on the part of the leading properties of the character traits affect the level of functional capabilities of the students’ organism, is determined. The obtained data should be used in the future for the development of methods of comprehensive assessment of the state of adaptation resources of students and scientific substantiation of health-preserving technologies.
The determination of the subsequent comprehensive assessment of the peculiarities of the course of adaptation processes, which are characteristic of modern student youth who acquire a certain profession, are closely related to the establishment of the regularities of the course of numerous adaptive mechanisms in the plane of implementation of psychophysiological, mental, and socio-psychological adaptation. The purpose of the work is to carry out a comprehensive hygienic assessment of the adaptation capabilities of the organism based on the definition of its social and psychological component and aggressive personality manifestations of modern students at various stages of education in a higher education institution. Scientific studies were conducted using questionnaires by Rogers and Diamond and Bass-Darky. 307 students, including 150 young women and 157 young men, who studied in the first, third and sixth years of the medical faculty were under supervision during the observation period. The analysis of the obtained data involved the application of descriptive statistics procedures based on the application of the statistical analysis program package “Statistica 6.1” (license number ВXXR901E245722FA). It was established that the highest level of expression of integral indicators of social and psychological adaptation of students, regardless of the time of study in a higher education institution, is characteristic of the characteristics of adaptation manifestations regarding the desire to dominate and accept others; at the same time, the lowest level of expression is for the characteristics of internality and therefore, determines the presence of pronounced signs of transformations of the adaptive content, which mark the tense course of the processes of social and psychological adaptation of students to the conditions of stay in a medical institution of higher education. It was found that among the overwhelming number of students who were studied, the indicators of aggressive personality manifestations exceed the values typical for normative age-sex indicators. This situation determines the need for the development of methods for a comprehensive assessment of the state of adaptive resources of the body of young men and women studying and scientific substantiation of health-preserving technologies, based on which measures of psychohygienic correction should take the leading place.
