Higher school as a social institution aims at the formation of the most valuable resource of the XXI century that human capital is. Students are now an influential group of young people, and taking into consideration students’ “advanced” status, its social activity (including network) and socio-political and socio-economic potential, we can assume that it is the student youth, which de- termines the youth “agenda”. This makes constant research of students relevant and important, both at the theoretical and academic level of sociological science and at the level of applied knowledge focused on the constant monitoring of social well-being, lifestyle, values, opinions and activity of students in specific universities and in a whole country. Students are active participants of economic and social life; they have a significant political potential. The authors present the results of the monitoring of social well-being of first-year students at Kazan national research technological University. The method applied was a questionnaire study with the use of electronic resource. The article also dwells on the current state and trends of student studies, as well as the processes of their institutionalization. The authors emphasize the importance of sociological surveys of student life conducted with the help of student sociological labs.

Scores are above average for 18-y.o. Portuguese students, except for belief in self-control.

Examination Stress

Жалпы медициналық факультетінің 1 -курс 50 студентінің психологиялық жағдайы мен гемодинамикалық көрсеткіштерінің динамикасы зерттелді. Барлық қатысушылар жеке деректерді зерттеу және құпиялық бағдарламасына қатысуға ақпараттандырылған келісімге қол қойды. Талдау критерийлері САН тестінің нәтижелері ( көңіл - күй,белсенділік, сезімталдық). Импульсің жиілігі мен қан қысымы болды. Оқу жылының басында денсаулық, белсенділік және көңіл - күй шкаласы бойынша бағалар едәуір көп екендігі, ал жүрек соғу жиілігі мен қан қысымының көрсеткіштері емтихан қарсаңындағыдан аз екендігі анықталды. Алынған нәтижелер емтихан стрессінің әсерінен эмоциональды шиеленістің қарқындылығының артуы аясында психологиялық жағдайдың ғана емес, сонымен қатар соматикалық жағдайдың, атап айтқанда гемодинамикалық көрсеткіштердің теріс өзгерісі байқалғанын көрсетті. Бұл болашақта жүрек-қан тамыр ауруларының дамуына ықпал ететін фактор болуы мүмкін. The dynamics of the psychological state and hemodynamic indicators of 50 first-year students of the general medical faculty was studied. All participants signed informed consent to participate in the research and confidentiality of personal data. The criteria for the analysis were the results of the WAM test (well-being, activity, mood), pulse rate and blood pressure at the beginning of the school year and, directly, on the eve of the exam. It was found that at the beginning of the school year, the scores on the scales of health, activity and mood were significantly higher, and the indicators of pulse rate and blood pressure were significantly lower than on the eve of the exam. The results indicated that, amid increase in the intensity of emotional tension under the influence of examination stress, there was a negative change not only in the psychological state, but also in the somatic state, in particular, hemodynamic parameters, which may be a predisposing factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases in the future.

Final Interview

ObjectivesThe diagnosis and treatment of acute leukaemia (AL) affect physical, psychosocial and existential functioning. Long-lasting treatment periods with impaired immune system, hygienic and social restrictions challenge patient well-being and rehabilitation as compared with other individuals with cancer. This study elucidates how AL patients, treated with curative intent in an outpatient setting, assess their physical, psychosocial and existential capability during and following treatment, and furthermore reports on the health initiatives offered to support their rehabilitation.Design, setting, participants and interventionsWe conducted qualitative, semi-structured individual interviews with 16 AL patients, 6 months after end of treatment in the patients’ homes. This was the final interview, in a line of three, carried out as part of a larger qualitative study.ResultsThe data were analysed thematically through an inductive ongoing process consisting of four steps. The final step, selective coding, resulted in the three categories: physical activity, mental well-being and social activity. None of the patients were satisfied with their physical capability at the time of interview and experienced substantial impairment of functional capabilities. All patients struggled with anxiety and expressed a need for continuous progress in treatment and well-being to feel safe. It took an unexpected large effort to regain a meaningful social life, and patients still had to prioritise activities.ConclusionsAL patients suffered physically, psychologically and existentially throughout their illness trajectory. Rehabilitation initiatives deriving from the healthcare system and municipalities held room for improvement. Future programmes should pay attention to the contextual changes of treatment of this patient group and individuals’ changing needs and motivation of physical exercise.

Psychological Inventory

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between death anxiety and psychosocial functioning of medical students. Subjects were 50 first-year students, with instruments including the Death Anxiety Scale and the California Psychological Inventory. Product-moment correlations computed between test scores indicated significant, negative relationships between death anxiety and the California Psychological Inventory measures of Well-being ( r = –.52), Good Impression ( r = –.43), Self-control ( r = –.30), and Tolerance ( r = –.29). These results suggest that increased death anxiety may be associated with somewhat compromised social performance.
