A survey of medical university students was conducted (20 people, 45% worked with patients with coronavirus infection). We studied stress factors and the psychological effectiveness of the course medication intake of the "Restorative" herbal blend (oregano grass, thyme grass, blackberry leaf, echinacea leaf). The reception period is 20 days. The available stress factors were evaluated by a developed questionnaire, in which scaling was performed in the paradigm of the International Classification of Functioning. The psychological state before and after taking the herbal blend was assessed using the methods "Coping behavior in stressful situations", "Taylor's scale of anxiety manifestations", "Emotional burnout" by V. Boyko. The most significant challenges for respondents are caused by prolonged and intense psychoemotional loads, violations of the work and rest regime. After taking the herbal blend, mental resources increase, anxiety and depression decrease. The subjects begin to deal with stress productively, and not emotionally reacting. The emotional deficit, saving of mental resources, inadequate response to adverse factors are reduced, which indicates the general strengthening effect of the "Restorative" herbal blend not only on the body as a whole, but also on mental processes.

La procrastinación académica es una conducta que afecta a un elevado porcentaje del alumnado universitario, por lo que ha sido profusamente tratada en la literatura científica. Aunque se ha estudiado ampliamente la frecuencia de procrastinación y su relación con otras variables, son más escasos los trabajos centrados en los motivos que llevan a procrastinar. En el presente estudio analizamos las razones para procrastinar en una muestra de 433 estudiantes de la Universidad de Cádiz, utilizando para ello la Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS). Las respuestas obtenidas han permitido llevar a cabo una clasificación del alumnado según sus motivaciones. Los resultados indican que pueden diferenciarse tres tipos de alumnos, los cuales procrastinarían respectivamente por una inadecuada respuesta a las exigencias de la tarea, por temor e inseguridad, o por búsqueda de excitación y dependencia de otros. Cada uno de estos tipos ha sido caracterizado en función de rasgos personales y académicos. Edad, año cursado, planificación del tiempo, intensidad de procrastinación, autoconcepto como estudiante y autoeficacia son factores relevantes en la diferenciación entre tipos de alumnado con distintos motivos para procrastinar. En cambio, las variables sexo, simultanear los estudios con un trabajo remunerado y rendimiento académico no presentan efectos significativos. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se hace una valoración de los mismos y se reflexiona sobre la intervención dirigida a reducir la procrastinación académica en estudiantes universitarios. Academic procrastination is a behaviour that affects a high percentage of university students, which has been extensively addressed in the scientific literature. Although the frequency of procrastination and its relation to other variables has been studied extensively, there are fewer studies focused on the motives that lead to procrastination. In the present study, we analyse the reasons for procrastinating in a sample of 433 students from the University of Cádiz, using the Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS). The answers obtained have allowed to carry out a classification of the students according to their motivations. The results indicate that three types of students can be differentiated, which would procrastinate respectively for an inadequate response to the demands of the task, due to fear and insecurity, or for a search for excitement and dependence on others. Each of these types has been characterized according to personal and academic characteristics. Age, academic year, time planning, intensity of pro-crastination, self-concept as a student and self-efficacy are relevant factors in the differentiation between types of students with different motives to procrastinate. On the other hand, the variables gender, simultaneous studies with paid work and academic performance do not have significant effects. We make a discussion of the results obtained and we reflect on the intervention aimed at reducing academic procrastination in university students.
