Abstract

In order to study the psycho-emotional state of medical students in conducting practical classes in medical psychology, 71 third year students of the medical faculty, girls (30) and boys (41), were examined at various times. The age and gender characteristics of the psycho-emotional state of medical students were also studied. The psycho-emotional state was determined using observation, conversation, as well as using the SAN questionnaire (state of health, activity, mood). The study showed that both boys and girls had good performance on the scales of well-being and activity and high results on the mood scale, regardless of the time of the lesson. It was found that during the practical training in medical psychology, students are in a good psycho-emotional state, which has a positive effect on all cognitive processes, their volitional sphere and motor activity. At the same time, it was determined that the empathic state of the teacher is very important, as it includes the ability to respond emotionally to the students' experience; assessment and prediction and adequate behavioral response in accordance with the emotional state of students; and the possibility, if necessary, of correcting the chosen methods of joint communicative interaction. Identified gender characteristics (reduced health, activity and mood among girls during the third seminar) require further study to better understand the psychomotor processes and influence the development of proper pedagogical and psychosocial support. Studying gender characteristics and characteristics makes it possible to reform hygiene standards in the field of occupational safety and education, as well as help to improve the conduct of classes with students of the School of Medicine.

Highlights

  • The study of medical psychology among medical school students is a very important aspect of knowledge and skills formation applying in psychodiagnostic, psycho-prophylaxis, psychohygieneand treatment of patients, as well asdoctor–patient interaction [1]. This type of interaction needs to be paid more attention to achieving better mutual understanding between all participants in the medical process and the main task of the psychologist teacher is to instill interest and motivate students to study this discipline, since the relationship between the doctor and the patient is the basis of any medical activity [2]

  • Assessment of the psychoemotional state of students was conducted with the help of observation, conversation, and using the SAN questionnaire

  • The study took place on the same day in different time intervals according to the schedule of classes for medical psychology

Summary

Introduction

The study of medical psychology among medical school students is a very important aspect of knowledge and skills formation applying in psychodiagnostic, psycho-prophylaxis, psychohygieneand treatment of patients, as well asdoctor–patient interaction [1]. When studying the psychodynamic (personal) characteristics of students, it is necessary to take into account and unite the motivational, emotional-volitional and intellectual development of the individual into a single whole This approach should characterize the psychological and social educationallydetermined forms of student behavior: the formation of skills, habits, restructuring of motives of behavior, features of temperament, learning abilities and sensitivity. Development of the personality of students occurs in communication, which has a huge subjective importance and constantly competes in duration and intensity with the students’ learning activities and in some ways even hinders it As this age of formation of the worldview continues, the communication of students often occurs within youth companies, associations and groupings, where young people find new friends and can show their own individuality.
