Introduction. A healthy lifestyle is one of the most eff ective methods of preserving health and preventing non-infectious diseases. The mechanisms and factors that infl uence the formation of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in employees engaged in harmful working conditions have not been suffi ciently studied. The study of these mechanisms will allow us to more eff ectively shape health-saving behavior.The aim of the study is to study negative aff ectivity, social suppression and anxiety in the formation of motivation to maintain health and a healthy lifestyle in coal industry workers.Materials and methods. A survey was conducted of 75 employees of mines and sections in the South of Kuzbass with an established diagnosis of occupational diseases, as well as 54 people who do not work in harmful working conditions (engineering and technical workers). Surveys were conducted using the method “Index of motivation to health and a healthy lifestyle”, the presence of personality type D was conducted using the DS14 questionnaire, the level of personal and situational anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger — Hanin questionnaire.Results. Th e level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle among patients with occupational diseases is signifi cantly lower than the level of motivation for the health of engineering and technical workers. Th e infl uence of negative reaction and social suppression on the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle was not found. Th e level of situational anxiety also has no eff ect on health motivation. A higher level of personal anxiety among people with a high level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle was determined.Conclusions. Personal anxiety aff ects the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in people with occupational diseases.

Introduction. Th e system of formation of a healthy lifestyle is recognized as the most important area of prevention. Studies of motivation for health and healthy lifestyles in workers engaged in harmful working conditions are few and indicate the negative impact of occupational disease on the psychosocial status of patients, a signifi cant impact of adherence to a healthy lifestyle on the prevalence and course of somatic diseases and the need to develop health-saving behavior.The aimof the studywas to study the prevalence of diff erent levels of motivation for maintaining health and a healthy lifestyle among workers in the metallurgical and coal industries.Materials and methods.72 workers of mines and sections of the South of Kuzbass with the established diagnosis of occupational disease were surveyed; 372 workers of the aluminum plant and 54 people who do not work in harmful working conditions (engineering and technical workers). The surveys were conducted by the method of «Motivation index for health and healthy lifestyle», alexithymia was evaluated by the method of «Toronto scale of alexithymia (TAS)» with the informed consent of the subjects.Results.Th e high level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle among employees of the aluminum industry corresponds to the population. Th e group of coal industry workers with occupational diseases surveyed is dominated by a low level of motivation to maintain health and a healthy lifestyle. In the group of workers who are not employed in harmful working conditions, a high degree of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle is determined. Th e predominance of motivation on emotional and cognitive scales among workers not employed in harmful working conditions was revealed. In the group of coal industry workers with occupational diseases, the number of persons with a high level of motivation on an emotional scale has been reduced. Among persons with alexithymia signifi cantly reduced the level of motivation on an emotional scale. Among the workers of the coal industry with occupational diseases revealed signifi cantly higher prevalence of alexithymia.Conclusions. It is assumed that the link of reduced motivation for health in persons with occupational diseases with the presence of alexithymia.

Introduction.High levels of occupational incidence in coal miners of the Kemerovo Region determine the need to optimize the State Committ ee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Oversight for in-depth study of risk factors and planning of medical and preventive measures.The aim of the studyis to optimize the activities of the State Committ ee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Oversight in the planning of supervisory and sanitary measures aimed at reducing the level of OD in the coal industry.Materials and methods.On the basis of a sample of materials from the database of the Department of State Committ ee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Oversight in the Kemerovo Region on the occupational morbidity of miners for 2008–2016, the analysis of data on working conditions, age, experience, dynamics of occupational morbidity. Th e information on 7515 cases of occupational diseases in workers of coal mining enterprises is analyzed.Results.Indicators of occupational disease in the miners of the Kemerovo Region are higher than the national level, amounting to 13.23 per 10 thousand of the employed population. Employees of the main professions of the coal industry are particularly susceptible to occupational diseases: sinkers, miners of treatment faces, machinists of mining excavation machines, underground electric locksmiths, drivers of heavy vehicles, drivers of excavators and bulldozers. The reasons for the formation of occupational diseases in miners are unfavorable working conditions: physical overload, dust and gas contamination, noise and vibration, high humidity of the working area at low temperatures. Occupational diseases are more commonly diagnosed in workers aged 41 to 50 years (28.01%) and 51 to 60 years (69.23%). Th e most at risk of occupational disease are those working in contact with the harmful production factor for 21–30 years (60.5%) and from 31 to 40 years (26.1%).Conclusions. The results of the study are necessary for the rational planning of control measures and reasoned conclusions in the preparation of sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions with suspicion of occupational diseases.

The purpose of the work is to investigate the screening frequency of anxiety and depressive disorders and their manifestations in young adolescents to determine risk factors and develop measures for their prevention. Anxiety testing was conducted for 313 students of educational institutions of the Khmelnitsky region aged 10-14 years: 156 (49.8 %) boys and 157 (50.2 %) girls. 258 people were tested for the spectrum of depressive disorders, of which 51.9 % (134) were boys and 48.1 % (124) girls. Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to study anxiety, and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) by M. Kovacs, was used to diagnose depression. The probability was evaluated using Student's t-test with the construction of a 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the difference in means. Quantitative traits are given as M±σ. A high level of personal anxiety was determined in 20 (6.4 %), and situational anxiety in 17 (5.4 %) people. The average level of personal anxiety was determined in 38 (12.1 %), and situational anxiety – in 142 (45.3 %) people. A low level of personal anxiety was identified in 255 (81.5 %), and situational anxiety – in 154 (49.3 %) people. That is, most students of early adolescence had a low level of both personal and situational anxiety. Signs of depressive disorders were detected in 50.0 % of the examined children of early adolescence who completed the questionnaires, in particular, mild manifestations of depression were found in 70 (27.2 %) people, moderate in 46 (17.2 %) people, severe depression in 13 (5.0 %) people. The level of depressive symptoms in girls was higher (53.32±12.54 points) compared with boys (50.01±9.94 points), respectively (95 % CI, 0.5 – 6.0; p<0.019). The level of depressive symptoms among students in the city was higher (50.45±8.93 points) compared with students in rural schools (46.74±10.81 points), respectively (95% CI, 0.5 – 6.9, p<0.023). When comparing the severity of depressive symptoms in children from a boarding school (59.64±15.03 points) with students of other secondary schools (52.02±9.74 points), its predominance was significant precisely in children who study at a boarding school (95% CI, 2.5 – 16.3; p<0.008). So, in children of early adolescence, most have a low level of anxiety. At the same time, depressive disorders of varying degrees were revealed in 50.0 % of the examined children, which manifested themselves mainly in the form of low mood and anhedonia. Female sex, urban living, and having an incomplete family or orphanhood are some of the key risk factors for depression in young children.

This article studies the measures to increase motivation of the first-year students in terms of health-preserving activity. The study involved first-year students of various specialties of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University (Ukraine). The study was performed in three stages. At the first stage, we conducted an anonymous test to determine the motivation of future professionals towards health-preserving activity, the results of which has shown, that 46% of students had a low level and did not have a need for health care; they were not motivated to a healthy lifestyle, while having harmful habits, 35% of students had an average level and were willing to take measures to support their health. And only 19% had a higher level of motivation for health-preserving activitie. At the second stage in the educational process the formation of sustainable motivation and values to health-preserving activities was provided by non-traditional lectures (problem-solving lectures, lectures-presentations, lectures-discussions, organization of practical and seminar classes using innovative teaching methods, organization of educational activities). As an outcome of conducted activities we arranged an anonymous survey among students, the results of which has shown that the level of students motivated to health-preserving activities has increased. 30% of students had a high level of motivation. The majority of students (48%) had an average level of motivation for health-preserving activities and expressed a desire to be engaged in health activities. Students who had a low level of motivation also reconsidered their habits and began to pay attention towards their own health support. Their number decreased to 22%. This indicates the effectiveness of various measures in the educational process to increase student motivation for health-preserving activities. Such data indicates on the effectiveness of health activities support during the educational and training activities of students.

The subject of this research is the anxiety of patients at different stages of genesis of myocardial infarction (MI). It is a proven fact that the high level of anxiety leads to reoccurrence and unfavorable course of disease both, in combination with other factors or regardless of them. However, the influence of separate aspects of anxiety into reoccurrence of MI remains insufficiently studied, which actualizes determination of the components of anxiety at different staged of emergence of this disease. The article presents a comparative analysis and description of the level of manifestation of various components of anxiety among the following empirical groups: 33 persons without myocardial infarction in past medical history, but in the group of risk by its genesis; 29 patients undergoing 2 to 5 days of hospital treatment for recovering after MI; 27 patients that have already received post-hospital therapy after MI. The observational group included 30 technically healthy persons. The following conclusions are formulated: 1) Anxiety components, such as asthenic, phobic, emotional discomfort are vivid among the patients who have survived MI, as well as persons in the risk group. However, an additional longitude research is required for proving the influence of anxiety into the genesis of myocardial infarction. 2) The currently conducted rehabilitation of MI patients reduces the overall level of situational anxiety, practically avoiding such its components that in the future can prompt recurrence of MI. 3) High level of anxiety is characteristic to all IM patients. The recommended programs for prevention and rehabilitation should be focused on long-term reduction of the level of personal anxiety, such as cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.

The article considers the manifestation of personal and situational anxiety in first- and third-year students of the Free Economic Zone. Anxiety is considered from two points of view - situational and personal. In the first case, the term is used to describe an unpleasant emotional state associated with feelings of tension, anticipation of unfavorable developments. Otherwise, anxiety is felt as an experience of personal threat, increased sensitivity to failures and mistakes, self-dissatisfaction. Anxiety is a state of anxiety that arises in a person in a situation that poses a certain physical or psychological threat to him. According to S. Freud, the unpleasant state of anxiety is a useful adaptive mechanism that encourages the individual to protective behavior to overcome the danger. Anxiety is a personal limit that reflects a decrease in the threshold of sensitivity to various stress agents. Anxiety is expressed in the constant feeling of threat to one's own "I" in any situation; Anxiety is an individual's tendency to experience anxiety, which is characterized by a low threshold for the occurrence of an anxiety reaction: one of the main parameters of individual differences. 55% of first-year students have a high level of personal anxiety and 45% have a moderate level of personal anxiety. First-year students used to be in the walls of their home school, but now they find themselves in a little-known university building, which also increases anxiety and insecurity. The student, in contrast to the student, is forced to form new styles and strategies of behavior within the walls of the university and forms of assimilation of a large amount of information from different disciplines. 3rd year students have a low level of situational anxiety (36.4%) and a moderate level of personal anxiety (63.6%). In the third year the process of specialization begins, strengthening the interest in scientific work as a reflection of further development and deepening of professional interests of students. The urgent need for specialization often leads to a narrowing of the sphere of diverse interests of the individual and students' reassessment of many values of life and culture. They become more confident in their abilities as students, but may have doubts about their future lives.

Tooth Abrasion

Hypertonia and parafunction of masticatory muscles (bruxism), which cause prolonged non-functional sliding movements of the mandible against the maxilla with teeth closed, contribute to the development of functional overload. Increased activity of masticatory muscles may occur due to the agitation of the central nervous system. On the periphery, its action manifests itself in the form of dysfunctions and bruxism, which leads to fatigue in the masticatory muscles, their spasm and the development of symptoms of the pain dysfunction syndrome. There is also an inverse relationship between local disturbances of occlusion and the development of stress. This case occurs, because in stress situations the adaptive capacity for local disturbances of the motor part of the masticatory system, including the disturbances of occlusion, is reduced. This causes a motor reaction in the form of dysfunctions of closing masticatory apparatus, which, in long-term stressful situations, can turn into well-established habits. This explains the appearance of pain symptoms of dysfunction in stressful situations. Consequently, there is convincing evidence that psychological and psychosocial factors play an important role in understanding the TMDs, but there is no conclusive evidence that these factors are etiologic ones. The purpose of the study is to determine personal and situational anxiety in patients with excessive tooth abrasion alone and those with both excessive tooth abrasion and temporomandibular disorders, comparing them with each other. Materials and Methods. 68 patients were included in the study, 31 (45.6%) included male and 37 (54.4%) contained female patients aged 21 to 70. Studied patients were divided into two groups: the control group and the study group. The control group included 31 patients diagnosed only with excessive tooth abrasion in combination with possible other occlusal disorders. The study group included 37 patients with excessive tooth abrasion, possibly with other occlusal disorders and various forms of temporomandibular disorders: muscle, articular, and combined. The study was conducted individually using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), which included instructions and 40 questions, 20 of which were designed to assess the level of situational anxiety (SA) and 20 – to assess the level of personal anxiety (PA). Online questionnaire at: http://psytests.org/psystate/spielberger-run.html was used for automatic data processing of Spielberger psychological evaluation of patients. Results. A high level of personal anxiety was observed in patients of the study group with both excessive tooth abrasion and TMDs, in comparison with patients in the control group (48.6% of patients in the study group vs. 0% in the control group), p<0.001. Furthermore, a significant prevalence of patients with a high level of situational anxiety was determined among the patients in the study group with excessive tooth abrasion and TMDs, in comparison with patients in the control group with excessive tooth abrasion alone (64.0% in the study group vs. 3.2% in the control group, p<0.001). Thus, statistically significant signs of a high level of personal and situational anxiety were found among patients with excessive tooth abrasion and present temporomandibular disorders in comparison with patients who have only excessive tooth abrasion.
