[Psychosocial dysadaptation in students with chronic somatic diseases]
Abstract:
To reveal the specific features of psychosocial adaptation in students having chronic somatic diseases, 114 students from the humanitarian faculties of the Pomor State University of Arkhangelsk were examined. Among them, 65.79% of the students had chronic somatic diseases, 34.21% had no diseases or complaints. The examination was made at the session interval. The students with chronic somatic diseases had a more significant psychosocial dysadaptation, which is indicative of higher depression and anxiety, timidity, reticence, lower activity, understated self-assessment, lower self-esteem, noticeable discord of personal relations. The paper shows it necessary to follow up emotional features of health within the framework of the regional programme "Students' Health" that includes the development of therapeutical, rehabilitative, and preventive measures.
