Abstract
Objective: to identify the socio-psychological features of medical students’ attitude toward health. Material and methods. The methods of theoretical analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature on the research problem; methods of questioning, observation; statistical analysis of empirical data ( j * - Fisher's criterion, Spearman's rank correlation method) were used. Results. The performed study has made it possible to determine the theoretical bases for the formation of modern notions about health and a healthy lifestyle in medical students. The analysis of the socio-psychological aspects of junior medical students` attitude toward health has showed that mainly stereotyped notions such as («sport is health») and inadequate understanding of the relation of a health status and commitment to a healthy lifestyle are typical for the study participants. Conclusion. In order to ensure high quality of professional medical education, it is necessary to form notions about health and a healthy lifestyle based on the concept of positive health in medical students. Health providers should understand a special importance of healthy lifestyle promotion among population, which will be ineffective if future doctors themselves will not pay enough attention to their health.
