EFFECT OF INTERNSHIP ON THE ADAPTIVE POSSIBILITIES OF TURNER TRAINEES

Abstract

Aim. The present work assesses the effect of internship on the adaptive capabilities of turner trainees according to the dynamics of the regulatory and adaptive status.Materials and methods. In 30 turner trainees at the age of 18, internship adaptation was studied according to the dynamics of the index of the regulatory and adaptive status (IRAS) and heart rate variability. IRAS was determined using the sample of cardio-respiratory synchronism. The use of IRAS allows the regulatory-adaptive capabilities to be assessed quantitatively, classifying them as “high” (with an index of the regulatory-adaptive status >100), “good” (50–99), “satisfactory” (25–49), “low” (10–24) and “unsatisfactory” (≤ 9). In accordance with the Strelau temperament inventory, genetically determined types of higher nervous activity determine the ability of an organism to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Following this notion, the trainees were divided into the groups of less adapted (melancholic, choleric, sanguine/choleric, melancholic/choleric) and more adapted (phlegmatic, sanguine, phlegmatic/ sanguine, phlegmatic/melancholic) individuals.Results.The groups of more adapted and less adapted individuals showed a decrease in IRAS by 24.4% and 38.8%, respectively. Accordingly, the regulatory and adaptive capabilities of the organism in the more adapted group remained “good”, while in the less adapted group they became “satisfactory”. Variation pulsometry indicated an increase in the stress index at the end of the internship, especially for less adapted turner trainees.Conclusion.The dynamics of regulatory and adaptive capabilities allows the adaptation to internship among trainees to be assessed.Conflict of interest: the author declares no conflict of interest.
