Human Personal Maturity and Its Relationship to Integral Conclusions About the Functional State of the Cardio-Respiratory System

Abstract

Introduction. In recent decades the upsurge in research on human spirituality and health has been observed. The study of spirituality and its relationship to health is possible by assessing the level of internal development (maturity) of man as a person. The aim of the study is to determine the level of personal maturity of sick and healthy people and to establish its relationship to the integral conclusions about the functional state of the cardio-respiratory system. Material and methods. 560 people, men ⸻ 301 (53.75%), women ⸻ 269 (46.25%). Average age of the subjects ⸻ 35.00±17.75 (95% confidence interval: 33.52–36.47) years. There were 337 patients (60.18%) suffering from chronic diseases, and 223 ( healthy patients (university students) (39.82%). Height, body mass, heartbeat rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, vital capacity, muscle strength of the hand were measured. The functional state of the cardio-respiratory system was assessed by integral indicators: adaptive potential of circulatory system according to A. P. Berseneva, level of physical state according to O. A. Pirogova, life index, Skibinski’s index, Kerdo index, hand strength index. To determine the levels of personal maturity, a survey was conducted by Jose Stevens. Applying the levels of maturity proposed by the author ("baby", "kid", "teenager", "young man" and "adult"), low, medium-low, medium- high, undifferentiated and combined levels of personal maturity were formed, which were considered degrees of human spiritual development. Results. 53.39% (299/560) of subjects had high levels, and 35.54% (199/560) - ⸻ low levels, including undifferentiated ones, of personal maturity. It was established that a predominance of high level of personal maturity took the place in the event of satisfactory adaptive potential of the circulatory system according to A. P. Berseneva, high level of physical state according to О. А. Pirogova, full compliance of respiratory function in relation to body mass according to life index, a higher level of interaction of respiratory and circulatory organs according to the Skibinski’s index, high relative strength of the hand and the normal state of vegetative tonus according to the Kerdo index. Conclusions. There is a significant relationship between the personal / spiritual maturity of man and the functional state of the cardio-respiratory system. People with high levels of personal / spiritual maturity have a better functional state of the cardio-respiratory system than people with low and undifferentiated levels.
