Abstract

Purpose. The article is dedicated to the investigation of psychological and mental health of students of Oles Honchar Dnipro National University in the war-time. The topicality of the research problem concerns the nature of mental, psychological and social health. The human health as a condition of physical, mental and social well-being is considered from the perspective of the holistic approach. The current state of mental and social health of education seekers in modern conditions determine the relevance of our research. Psychological health is an important component of a person’s social well-being and vitality. Methods. Empirical methods were chosen for the research. The processing of the results of the empirical research was carried out using the calculation of the percentage of people with respect to the levels of manifestation of the selected signs of mental and social health, followed by a qualitative interpretation and meaningful generalization of the data. Results. It is empirically proved that the level of mental health of some students is quite low and only a small part of youth has no social anxiety disorder. Over half of the students have high and above average indicators, but a certain number of students have clinical implications of social anxiety disorder. Subclinical and clinical implications of anxiety are typical for the quarter of students of the 1–3 years of study of Oles Honchar Dnipro National University. The third of them has subclinical and clinical implications of depression. Conclusions. The obtained results testify to the recorded indicators of the level of psychological health of the students of Oles Honchar Dnipro National University. This is a hint about those aspects of psychological health that require special attention in preventive work with students of higher education by the Psychological Service of Oles Honchar DNU. In the conditions of war, the Psychological Service continues to provide psychological help to the participants of the educational process of our higher education institution, focusing on new requests under new conditions.
