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.

Cannabis is the illegal drug most used worldwide. Its long-term use increases the risk of depression and schizophrenia, causing a major public health problem. A validated questionnaire was applied to first year students of Instituto Universitário Egas Moniz to assess their intention regarding cannabis use. They do not consider cannabis to be much associated with well-being, they slightly consider the opinion of relatives, and they show a low intent to use the drug, believing themselves to have strong self-control. Scores are above average for 18-y.o. Portuguese students, except for belief in self-control.

The Impact

The educational inclusion of gifted students requires not only equity but also emotional accessibility and social participation. However, different studies indicate that gifted students constitute a vulnerable group (for example, the incidence of bullying is higher). Psychosocial variables are determinants for the development and expression of giftedness, particularly during adolescence. This study analyzes the impact of an inclusive extracurricular enrichment program for gifted secondary school students on the well-being of adolescents. The program was based on the enrichment model of Renzulli and Reis (2016). The objective was to develop a cluster to facilitate high-achieving learning in collaboration with teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors from their schools as well as university professors and students that would address their emotions and socialization across the board and benefit or involve their peers in their regular classrooms. The intervention took place over two years: eight sessions, one afternoon per week, for five months during each school year. The sample consisted of 47 students from the first and second years of compulsory secondary education (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria - ESO) (age, mean (M) = 12.57, standard deviation (SD) = 0.82) during the first year and 27 students from the first, second, and third years of ESO (age, M = 13.48, SD = 0.94) during the second year; 61.4% were girls. Participants completed a questionnaire before (T1) and (T3) and after (T2) and (T4) each intervention. The results show better outcomes for psychological and subjective well-being, more positive moods, and a significant reduction in school fears. The results from this study indicate the importance of educational screening and support for gifted students to promote their well-being through collaborative enrichment activities.

Module Development

This study is a needs analysis that aims to develop a psychosocial module based on a psychoeducation approach in order to strengthen the assertiveness, social skills, and psychological well-being of public university students in Malaysia. The specific objectives of this study were to identify the perceptions of university students on the need to design and build a psychosocial module, identify the constructs that should be included in the phase of designing and building of the psychosocial module as well as the support that has been received and the support that the students desire while on campus. This survey study utilized a questionnaire distributed to a total of 286 first year students studying at three public universities in Malaysia. The data obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study showed a highly positive response from the students toward the development of a psychosocial module and the constructs listed in the questionnaire. Implications from this study can further solidify the constructs that should be included in the design and construction of the psychosocial module as well as identify the availability of the approaches, strategies, and support activities that have been received and desired by the students.

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.
