Abstract

Goal: determining the level of daily and educational stress and its self-esteem among 3rd year students of the Medical Academy, identifying the prevailing symptoms and the most frequently used methods of stress relief. Material and methods: the study involved 73 3rd year foreign female students of the Medical Academy named after S.I. Georgievsky at the age of 20 years. The Boston test was used to analyze lifestyle and the impact of daily stress on it. The Reeder’s test was used to determine self-reported stress. Academic stress, stress during the exam, and stress relieving techniques were studied using a questionnaire method in the form of responses from 1 to 10 points to questions on assessing the contribution to stress. The obtained data were processed by the method of quartiles (the quartile Q25, the quartile Q75, the interquartile interval IQR were determined) and by the method of variation statistics with the calculation of mean values (Mo mode, Me median, arithmetic mean M) with an estimate of the probability of discrepancies (m), sigmoid deviation of the mean arithmetic (σ). Conclusions: In the distant learning female students, the level of stress was noted, it corresponds to the usual intense life of an active person. The female students confirmed the average level in the effect of stress on their well-feeling. The following factors make the greatest contribution to educational stress: strict teachers, high academic workload, lack of textbooks, irregular meals, and a responsible attitude to learning. The stress during the exam most often manifested itself in the form of tachycardia, palpitations, dry mouth, and headaches. To relieve stress, the use of delicious food, in particular sweets, prolonged sleep, and watching television are often used. It is recommended to conduct explanatory talks about the health benefits and stress relief of exercise.
