Abstract

The social problems of protecting the health of students are associated with the organization of an accessible educational environment in universities and the concept of disease prevention. Great importance is attached to the influence of traditional factors on health: smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity and overweight. It is quite difficult to assess the role played by secondary factors in maintaining health: stress resistance, sleep quality, full-time or part-time education. The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the prevalence of factors in the formation of commitment to health-building behavior among students of an engineering and technical university in indifferent groups. Materials and research methods: the process of self-assessment of health included a biographical research method, a block of sociological testing, a questionnaire, and an assessment of the quality of life. When describing the results of the study, the form of education and belonging to persons with disabilities are not mentioned. The students were divided into 3 groups depending on the state of health and the form of education. The hypothesis of the study was that they assumed a high correlation of behavioral risk factors in part-time students with a low level of stress resistance and a lower quality of life. We expected to receive information about the low quality of life in people with disabilities. During the study, the hypothesis was not confirmed. A high social status was determined for all respondents: the provision of separate housing, a living wage for one family member above the average, complete families. In both groups, full-time students have an equal attitude to personal health resources and a high level of stress. An analysis of behavioral factors of harm to health showed a significantly higher prevalence of smoking and a tolerant attitude to alcohol, high working capacity during the day and resistance to workload stress among students of distance learning. This fact caused difficulties in interpreting the relationship between traditional factors of harm to health and high indicators of the quality of life among working students. We noted general trends towards a decrease in smoking. All students showed a tendency to low reflection and understanding of lifestyle, which is confirmed by the biographical method of research and interviews.
