Вплив сесії на психоемоційний стан студентів ХНМУ

Abstract

The relationship between the psychophysiological state of students during the presessional period and the level of fear before the exams has been established. The data analysis showed that the emotional status of second-year students at the medical department a week prior to the session was defined as that of an average anxiety with the tendency to an increase in the anxiety level which is indicative of the gradual disturbance of normal psychological state. A number of students with a high anxiety level exceeded those with the average anxiety level with the tendency to the decline of it which is also indicative of unfavorable emotional background. The groups with a very high anxiety level that would take the risk of a nervous breakdown were not revealed. The students with a very low anxiety level that is indicative of overstrain and activated protective response were also not revealed. Most students from all the three groups stated that they got cold feet before taking their exams. Especially the female portion of the experiment had a dread of the exams that can be indicative of the pathological core of their fear. A male portion of the participants of this experiment also evaluated their sensation of fear before the exams giving high points, however within the norm required for the adaptation and productive activities.
