В статье рассмотрена проблема социально-психологической адаптации к дошкольному учреждению детей раннего возраста. Ее актуальность обоснована требованиями Федерального Закона «Об образовании» в Российской Федерации от 29.12.2012 года № 273-ФЗ (глава 7, статья 64) о необходимости создания условий для развития и социальной адаптации, способствующих укреплению и сохранению здоровья детей дошкольного возраста. Цель исследования состояла в определении содержательного и процессуального компонентов программы психолого-педагогического развития социально-психологической адаптации детей раннего возраста. В работе представлены результаты экспериментального исследования содержательного и процессуального аспектов адаптации этих детей к дошкольному учреждению, а также представлены результаты поиска новых концептуальных и эмпирических оснований психолого-педагогического сопровождения адаптации детей к дошкольному учреждению на базе ведущих подходов отечественной психологии — субъектно-деятельностного и личностно-ориентированного. Авторы выдвинули гипотезу о том, что эффективность программы развития социально-психологической адаптации детей раннего возраста обеспечивается развитием следующих ее компонентов: эмоционально-мотивационного (создание эмоционально благоприятной атмосферы в группе детей, снятие эмоционального напряжения, импульсивности, тревоги и агрессии); содержательно-целевого (развитие коммуникативных навыков, создание благоприятных условий для знакомства детей друг с другом, предпосылок для групповой сплоченности; развитие игровых навыков, произвольного поведения, формирование у детей ситуативно-делового общения на базе ситуативно-личностного); организационно-дея­тельностного (игровая деятельность, рефлексивная деятельность, изобразительная, сказкотерапия, пальчиковая гимнастика; элементы телесной терапии) и контрольно-оценочного (контроль и оценка с учетом критериев адаптированности на когнитивном, физиологическом, социальном, поведенческом и личностном уровнях). На базе эмпирического материала констатирующего этапа эксперимента, в котором участвовали 33 ребенка двух–трех лет, входящих в состав двух младших групп детского сада, 3 педагога и 33 родителя, авторы анализируют факторы адаптации детей раннего возраста к дошкольному образовательному учреждению. Результаты данного этапа могут быть использованы в качестве обоснования программы развития социально-психологической адаптации детей раннего возраста. Кратко представлена разработанная программа развития социально-психологической адаптации детей, которая была реализована на этапе формирующего эксперимента, оценка ее эффективности на контрольном этапе и перспективы дальнейших исследований. The article treats the issue of young children’s social and psychological adaptation to preschool environment. The relevance of the research is accounted for by the requirements stipulated in the Federal Law on Education in the Russian Federation of 29.12.2012 no 273-ФЗ (chapter 7, article 64) and associated with the necessity of providing favorable environments for young children’s development and social adaptation aimed at the preservation and improvement of their health. The aim of the research is to explore the content and procedure of young children’s social and psychological adaptation and their psychological and pedagogical development. The article presents the results of an empirical research aimed at the investigation of the content and procedure of young children’s psychological adaptation to preschool environment. It also presents the results of a research aimed at the investigation of the conceptual and empirical foundation of young children’s psychological and pedagogical adaptation to preschool environment through the prism of subject-activity approach and person-cantered approach as leading approaches of Russian psychology. The authors of the article hypothesize that the efficiency of programs aimed at young children’s social and psychological adaptation closely depends on the following components: emotion and motivation (the creation of an emotionally favourable atmosphere, removal of emotional strain, reduction of impulsiveness, anxiety and aggression); content and goal (the development of communication skills, the creation of favourable conditions for children’s communication, the instigation of cooperation, the development of game playing skills and arbitrary behaviour, the development of formal and informal communication skills); activity and implementation (game activities, reflexive activities, drawing ad painting activities, fairytale therapy, fingerplays, body therapy), monitoring and assessment (monitoring and evaluating adaptation at cognitive, physiological, social, behavioural and personal levels). The authors use empirical data gathered during the concluding stage of an experiment involving 33 young children (2-3-year olds attending junior kindergarten groups), 3 teachers, and 33 parents to analyze factors affecting young children’ adaptation to preschool environment. The results of the research can be used to develop a program of young children’s social and psychological adaptation. The authors summarize the main principles of the program of young children’s social and psychological adaptation which was employed in the experiment; they assess its efficiency and evaluate the potential of its further application.

The article provides theoretical generalizations on the use of dance therapy in the correction and socialization of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It also presents the author’s year-long programme of such rehabilitation and quasi-experimental observations on its effectiveness. The article proves that dance therapy performs a much wider range of functions, than correction of MSDs. It acts as an effective way of social and psychological adaptation of individuals with MSDs. In particular, it allows one to develop independence, train relaxation skills and concentration, enhance the creativity of the inner self, creative imagination, reduce tension in the team, listen to and hear others better, relieve body tension, enhance communication skills, develop intellectually in the field of various arts, identify and correct problems in a particular child and children groups. The article proposes the hypothesis according to which one-year dance therapy should improve the manifestations of social adaptation of individuals with MSDs. The findings of the article can be used, first of all, in the post-Soviet countries, where dance therapy does not have a long tradition and requires borrowing international experience.

For a more precise scientific approach, the article offers a justification of the criteria for attribution to the objects of social work through such a phenomenon as social adaptation (maladjustment). This article reveals the indicators of socio-psychological adaptation (maladjustment) of various population groups. An important indicator of adaptability is life satisfaction. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the level of socio-psychological adaptation of the population (migrants, the unemployed, the disabled and pensioners) and the factors affecting it, as well as socio-psychological technologies for working with various groups of the population in crisis.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.

BACKGROUND The ability of nursing undergraduates to communicate effectively with health care providers, patients, and their family members is crucial to their nursing professions as these can affect patient outcomes. However, the traditional use of didactic lectures for communication skills training is ineffective, and the use of standardized patients is not time- or cost-effective. Given the abilities of virtual patients (VPs) to simulate interactive and authentic clinical scenarios in secured environments with unlimited training attempts, a virtual counseling application is an ideal platform for nursing students to hone their communication skills before their clinical postings. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and test the use of VPs to better prepare nursing undergraduates for communicating with real-life patients, their family members, and other health care professionals during their clinical postings. METHODS The stages of the creation of VPs included preparation, design, and development, followed by a testing phase before the official implementation. An initial voice chatbot was trained using a natural language processing engine, Google Cloud’s Dialogflow, and was later visualized into a three-dimensional (3D) avatar form using Unity 3D. RESULTS The VPs included four case scenarios that were congruent with the nursing undergraduates’ semesters’ learning objectives: (1) assessing the pain experienced by a pregnant woman, (2) taking the history of a depressed patient, (3) escalating a bleeding episode of a postoperative patient to a physician, and (4) showing empathy to a stressed-out fellow final-year nursing student. Challenges arose in terms of content development, technological limitations, and expectations management, which can be resolved by contingency planning, open communication, constant program updates, refinement, and training. CONCLUSIONS The creation of VPs to assist in nursing students’ communication skills training may provide authentic learning environments that enhance students’ perceived self-efficacy and confidence in effective communication skills. However, given the infancy stage of this project, further refinement and constant enhancements are needed to train the VPs to simulate real-life conversations before the official implementation.

Background: сurrently, the question remains open about the factors that affect the social functioning of patients with schizophrenia, including the role of negative symptoms and neurocognitive deficits. The aim: to study factors that affect the social functioning of patients with schizophrenia. Patients and methods: 64 in-patient with schizophrenia (mean age 35.9 ± 10.9 years) were examined at the stage of remission. The disease duration was 9.71 ± 6.0 years. The majority of patients suffered from paranoid and hallucinatory-paranoid attacs (43 and 23%, respectively). The study used follow-up, clinical and psychopathological methods as well as psychometric scales: PANSS, SANS, ВАСS, Calgary scales and UKU scales. An integrative indicator was introduced to assess the social adaptation of patients. Results: it is shown that as the duration of the disease increases, the indicator of social adaptation decreases. The presence of side effects of antipsychotic therapy is associated with restrictions on the social functioning of patients, but the use of second-generation antipsychotics contributes to an increase in the level of social functioning of patients. Patients with more pronounced apathetic-abulic disorders, flattened affect, anhedonia-asociality and social isolation are characterized by a lower level of social functioning. Adapted patients differ from maladapted patients by better indicators of auditory-speech memory, motor skills, information processing speed, ability to plan and problem solving behavior. Conclusion: the integrative indicator of social adaptation of patients with schizophrenia is associated with a number of cognitive and negative symptoms, features of antipsychotic therapy and the duration of the disease.

This study aims at recognizing the level of social and psychological adaptation and its connection with the students of An-Najah National University in Nablus governorate in light of the background variables. Also, it seeks to clarify the correlational relations between social, psychological and academic adaptation and identity ranks. In order to achieve the aims of the study, a sample of (280) students from An-Najah National University is chosen. The consistency and validity of the tools of the study are verified. Results have shown their validity as it follows the correlational and descriptive methods. The following are the results of the study: 1- There are positive statistical relations between psychological and social adaptation and identity ranks of stopping, closure and dispersion. However, there isn’t any statistical relation between identity achievement and social and psychological adaptation. 2- There are statistical differences in the ranks of identity of the variable of scholastic year or place of residence or economic level. Besides, there are statistical differences in the averages of identity stopping and closure due to the variable of scholastic year. 3- There are differences in the average of stopping identity in the first year and the second, third and fourth year students in favor of the first year students. The source of the differences in the average of identity closure is between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 4- There are statistical differences in the averages of achieving closure identity due to place of residence that the differences in the averages of achieving identity among camp citizens in the cities and villages in favor of camps citizens due to closing their identity between the citizens of the cities and villages in favor of the dwellers of the village. 5- There are statistical differences in the averages in the ranks of identity due to the economic level. Also, there are statistical differences among the averages of the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of the scholastic year that they are between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 6- All the hypotheses of the study are refuted except for two, namely: there are statistical differences in the rank of identity due to the variables of scholastic year and place of residence. The second is that there are statistical differences in the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of scholastic year. In light of these results, the researcher recommends offering guidance programs highlighting ranks of the identity of students for its positive and effective impact in achieving their goals and changing their course of life by achieving their psychological, social and academic adaptation.

Training and education of children with physical and mental health problems makes a number of requirements for teachers working in various correctional medical institutions. These specialists must have a high level of adaptive characteristics allowing combining up-to-date pedagogical methodology with individual approach, taking into account the current state of the child. As a result of applying complex experimental psychological techniques we managed to identify specific features of correctional teachers adaptive characteristics (when comparing with public school teachers), namely: low level of activity and optimism, insufficient adaptive strategy to cope with stress characterizing maladaptive personality types. There were also a lot of negative organizational factors affecting the process and result of professional activity: a lot of work, unauthorized persons at the lessons, interaction problems with parents, insufficiency of pupils independent work, need for individual explanation, lack of real results in teachers activity. Teachers working in correctional schools and having an average level of social and psychological adaptation give a lower evaluation of various aspects in professional activity. They have a pronounced value of psychological and physiological professional maladjustment shown in somatic, emotional and social spheres as well as motivation decrease in their professional activity. Correctional school teachers have a high degree of professional burnout and their emotional exhaustion and depersonalization are more pronounced.

There is a necessary for self-regulation of a personality during change of leading sort of activity and adaptation to new one. The article considers means which is able to contribute for increase of social adaptation at University. The interconnection between socio-psychological adaptation of students at University and parameters of empathy has been discovered by empirical way. This connection has been examined on analytical, structural and functional levels by using both methods of qualitative and statistical analysis, based on system approach to the research. It was used such methods of interrogation as `Assessment of the level of empathic abilities` by V. V. Boyko; `The methodology of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation` by C. Rogers and R. Diamond; `Adaptation of students to University` by M. S. Yurkina. The selection including 233 people was divided into levels by degree of manifestation of expectation for internal control for consideration of features. It includes low level (external control), medium level (optimum) and high one (internal control). It was determined that internal locus of control has an impact on increase of adaptation to University life. It was figured out that there is a manifestation of self-control in individuals who get predominance of conative parameters of empathy. Increase of adaptation is able to be achieved by using combination of the system elements such as an augmentation of facilitate empathic impacts, decrease of inhibitory ones and transformation of neutral effects of empathy on socio-psychological adaptation. Attention was also paid to the research of the structural complex both in general and in its individual manifestations. The structural analysis let to reveal basic and system-forming features of examined connection. Thus, conditions for the average manifestation of expectation of internal control have been found and it was determined that this phenomenon takes on base significance because its middle values promote for integration of system ingredients and increase of system system ability to adaptation process. In such a way it has been proved that harmonization of personality structure is possible being achieved due the increase of self-control and correction of empathic means as a mechanism of responsiveness.
