Abstract
Foreign medical students pursuing education in Ukraine encounter a complex interplay of socio-cultural, linguistic, and climatic factors that significantly influence their emotional and psychological well-being. Adapting to new teaching methods, communication patterns, and academic expectations often leads to increased emotional tension and mental stress.
Description
Therefore, higher medical education institutions in Ukraine must view psychological well-being and adaptation of international students as an essential dimension of educational quality and internationalization. Enhancing institutional capacity for early detection of maladaptive states and integrating continuous psychological support within academic environments remain vital for sustaining the mental health and academic success of future medical professionals.
