Abstract

Peculiarities of psychosocial adaptation and quality of life of 167 students of medical university in wartime were studied.

It was established that, in general, students have moderate, within the normal range, indicators of adaptation — 13.4 ± 6.5 points, self-acceptance — 51.2 ± 17.9 points, acceptance of others — 53.4 ± 19.2 points, emotional comfort — 46.0 ± 15.9 points, internality — 47.5 ± 18.2 points, striving for dominance — 55.9 ± 10.8 points. Relatively low indicators of the quality of life were revealed, especially in the spheres of psychological (emotional) well-being — 5.89 ± 1.88 points and general perception of life — 5.55 ± 1.84 points, and moderate indicators in the spheres of physical well-being — 6.83 ± 1.55 points, self-care and independence of actions — 6.87 ± 1.42 points, working capacity — 6.19 ± 1.72 points, interpersonal interaction — 7.50 ± 1.29 points, socioemotional support — 8.43 ± 1.82 points, public support — 7.50 ± 1.44 points, personal realization — 7.03 ± 1.51 points, spiritual realization — 8.37 ± 1.38 points, and in integral spheres of subjective well-being / satisfaction — 18.28 ± 4.11 points, fulfillment of social roles — 27.59 ± 4.71 points, external living conditions — 24.29 ± 3.16 points, and the overall quality of life indicator — 7.02 ± 1,00 points. As signs of maladjustment increase, indicators of quality of life deteriorate, and the differences between the group of students without signs of maladjustment and groups with different degrees of maladjustment are more significant, which indicates the decisive importance in the deterioration of the quality of life of the presence of individual manifestations of maladjustment, while its expressiveness is important, but less essential value. Indicators of quality of life are related to indicators of socio-psychological adaptation by a significant direct correlation of moderate strength.

The complex of measures for medical and psychological support of students of higher medical educational institutions in the conditions of martial law should include a screening assessment of the quality of life and psychosocial maladjustment, as well as measures of psychoprophylaxis, psychological counseling, psychocorrection and psychotherapy.
