Effects of chronic stress caused by military conflict on the status of the oral cavity according to questionnaire data

Objective — to reveal the features of the subjective status and care of the oral cavity of patients during the year since the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine based on questionnaire data.
 Materials and methods. With the use of the designed and implemented questionnaire, the descriptive population‑based anonymous investigation has been carried out. The analysis involved questionnaires of 127 adults, 37% of subjects were medical professionals, and 63% were patients of a therapeutic profile; women accounted for 61.4%. The group of patients aged 35 — 49 years was the most numerous. The questionnaire included 18 questions and consisted of 4 blocks concerning changes in the character of dental complaints, the amount of sweet food, hygienic care and visits to the dentist during the year of the military conflict. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
 Results. Patients had significant differences in the number of positive answers regarding the appearance of complaints of dry mouth, increased viscosity of saliva, bad breath compared to the group of medical professionals. The latter demonstrated a higher level of discipline regarding hygienic care of the oral cavity, moderate consumption of sweets and visits to the dentist than patients. Compared to the year 2021, the number of smokers among patients has doubled.
 Conclusions. Medical professionals demonstrated a higher level of stress resistance, they have greater knowledge about the effects of sweets on dental health, the effects of general health on oral health, and the importance of regular oral hygiene than their patients. Patients who are exposed to chronic stress need more careful monitoring by a doctor. The developed questionnaire can be used to study the impact of chronic stress on oral health in different cohorts.

Adaptation of athletes to execution of specific sports loads

The article provides a theoretical understanding of the nature of multi-level adaptation of subjects of sports activities to specific physical and psychological loads in the field of sports of the highest achievements. In particular, the outstanding features and characteristics of sports activity as a special type of human activity were revealed, a detailed analysis of the specific features of sports of the highest achievements as the area of the occurrence of extreme loads for a person was implemented, the phenomenon of adaptation in sports and the factors affecting it were operationalized, the main characteristics of specific loads in sports activities.
 Sport was considered as a specific human activity that has the structure of game activity, in particular, is subject to artificially created rules and contains an element of competition, which is based on the assessment and comparison of the physical and intellectual abilities of its subjects. The characteristics and factors of sports activity that provoke the emergence of extreme loads on the physical and mental apparatus of athletes and require the intensification of adaptation processes, in particular, high requirements for sports achievements, its publicity, social significance, a limited number of attempts to demonstrate the result, a constant change in the conditions of its implementation, are determined and their objective severity, the need to make operational decisions. Attention is focused on the fact that the key specificity of loads in sports of the highest achievements is their extremely high duration and intensity.
 It is proposed to distinguish such gradations of professional functioning of athletes as physical, psycho-emotional and cognitive levels, which made it possible to eliminate excessive focus only on their physical adaptation to sports activities. It has been proven that the proper level of adaptation of a sportsman is the basis of his high professional qualification and self- realization. The result of the theoretical review was the formation of a list of the most effective methods and techniques for ensuring the adaptation of athletes at various levels of their professional functioning. Among the methods and techniques for ensuring the proper level of adaptation of athletes, regular physical exercises are highlighted, the use of which is based on the principles of weight gain, consistency, regularity and cyclicity; psychotechniques for increasing the level of self-regulation and general stress resistance; ideomotor training as a means of ideal modeling of sports actions.

НОВЫЕ МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ ПОДХОДЫ В ВОПРОСАХ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ РАЗВИТИЯ СИНДРОМА ЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ВЫГОРАНИЯ У СТУДЕНТОВ ВУЗОВ

The article is devoted to the study of the development of the syndrome of emotional burnout among students of a technical university. The content of the concept of "burnout syndrome" is revealed, a theoretical analysis of this phenomenon is carried out, and the reasons for its occurrence in the student environment are analyzed. The paper shows that negative factors in the form of suboptimal learning conditions that take place in the organization of the educational process have a detrimental effect on mental health, cause a decrease in the level of stress resistance in students, which causes them to develop a burnout syndrome. The authors studied the dependence of the development of the emotional state syndrome on the psychological profile of students. It is proposed, depending on the results obtained during testing on the 16PF multifactorial personality questionnaire, to attribute students to the "negative" or "positive" pole. On the basis of the test results obtained and the correlation analysis carried out, "psychological portraits" of students of the Institute of Engines and Power Plants of the Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Queen, who have a tendency or, conversely, resistance to the development of burnout syndrome. In order to prevent the development of the phenomenon of emotional burnout, ways and methods for identifying early signs and preventing its development in students are proposed.

СТРЕСОСТІЙКІСТЬ СТУДЕНТІВ ЗАКЛАДІВ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ ЯК ПСИХОЛОГІЧНА ПРОБЛЕМА

The article analyzes such a psychological phenomenon as a stress, the varieties of this emotional state and the peculiarities of experiencing stress by students of higher education institutions. Experiencing stress by students of higher education is an urgent issue because of the problems of the success of their professional training. In this regard, it has been determined that the formation of young people’s system of knowledge about the phenomenon of stress: psychophysiological features of the emergence of this emotional state, factors that contribute to its occurrence, the specifics of the passage, consequences, as well as the formation of skills and abilities of students in self-regulation of mental states is an urgent need today. The causes of stress in students of higher education depending on the period of study at the institution of higher education are summarized. It has been found out that the researchers singled out the first year of study as the most stressful period, which is associated with the problems of social and psychological adaptation to the conditions and specifics of studying in a new educational institution. The factors that contribute to the occurrence of stress in students during seminar and practical classes, the examination session have been determined. Individual personal properties have been considered as factors of successful social and psychological adaptation of students of higher education institutions, among which is the level of stress resistance of the individual. The results of an empirical study of the level of stress resistance of students of Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A.S. Makarenko are presented. Factors contributing to the success of social and psychological adaptation and reducing the stress level of higher education students have been determined, namely: the features of the social and psychological climate of the academic group, faculty, institute and, in general, the institution of higher education, work with students by specialists of the psychological support service, the activity of students in the public life of the student community of the educational institution, the work of curators of academic groups, active interaction with teachers and the administration of the educational institution. The peculiarities of the organization of psychological support during the study of students in a higher education institution with the aim of successful adaptation of higher education applicants are highlighted.

To the Question of Attitude to Death of Middle-Aged People During the War in Ukraine

A person's attitude to death is influenced by the critical situations he encounters in his life. The war, which began in Ukraine at the beginning of 2022, made people's feelings about death relevant, because death has become everyday reality in the lives of Ukrainians. The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities of middle-aged people attitude to the phenomenon of death during the war in Ukraine. A sample of subjects (N=76) who previously participated in our research in 2019 and 2020 during the coronavirus infection. The age of the subjects varies as follows: Me=44.00; min=35.00; max=55.00. Research methods: the "Attitude to Death" method (I.Yu. Kulagina, L.V. Senkevich), the "Attitude to Death Scale" method by D.V. Hardt, Metaphor of Personal Death technique – the Revised Death Fantasy Scale (RDFS) J. McLennan. It was determined that the attitude towards death in people of the studied middle-aged group during the war is ambivalent with a certain deviation towards the positive. The studied group is characterized by an average level of stress resistance, which is associated with thoughts about death. The choice of metaphors about death is determined by the degree of attitude positivity towards death: a pessimistic attitude towards death is associated with negative thoughts about death, fixation on its external side, avoidance of contact with death. Lack of seeing a positive perspective in death leads to pessimism and negative thoughts. An optimistic attitude towards death is associated with the rare occurrence of negative thoughts about own death, perception of death as a necessary aspect of being, openness to contact with death. Significant differences were found between believers and atheists on the indicator of positive thoughts about their own death: believers showed a high level of acceptance of death. Significant differences in attitudes toward death between men and women were also identified: men have a more positive and "black" humor to thoughts about death.

ПРИВЕРЖЕННОСТЬ К ЗДОРОВЬЕСОЗИДАЮЩЕМУ ПОВЕДЕНИЮ У ОБУЧАЮЩИХСЯ ИНЖЕНЕРНО-ТЕХНИЧЕСКОГО ВУЗА

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.

Algorithm for determining psychophysiological indicators of qualified volleyball players using modern computer technologies

The article discusses modern methods of determining the psychophysiological characteristics of athletes using computer technologies, which are widely used in high-performance sports. It is shown that the study of psychophysiological characteristics provides additional information about the athlete's functional state in various conditions of activity. The proposed methodology presents tests that study the main neurodynamic characteristics, cognitive processes and the level of stress resistance of the athlete. The presented set of tests makes it possible to most fully study and analyze the psychophysiological characteristics that are important for ensuring a high training and competitive level.
 To analyze the indicators of the neurodynamic block, tests aimed at studying the balance (equilibrium) and mobility of nervous processes were selected. It is shown that precisely these indicators to the greatest extent ensure the speed of reaction, the speed of processing continuously incoming information, the speed of mastering technical techniques and actions, the ability to switch from one type of activity to another.
 Cognitive block offers tests that give an assessment of the effectiveness of the mental activity of volleyball players at each stage of solving a game task. Game activity in volleyball takes place in the form of solving tactical tasks related to the perception of moving objects (ball, opponent), estimation of the parameters of this movement, anticipatory reactions to movement and making operational decisions.
 Equally important is the athlete's ability to keep emotions under control - to achieve success, a volleyball player must be able to manage his emotions, actions, and mental state in various conditions (in conditions of fatigue, under the influence of confounding factors, etc.). It has been proven that emotional stability is closely related to the strength and balance of the nervous system and is manifested already at the first stages of sports activities.
 The obtained data will make it possible to introduce prognostic models created for correction and individualization of training of volleyball players in the process of multi-year sports improvement into the stage control system.

Психологические ресурсы совладания со страхом перед COVID-19 и негативными психоэмоциональными состояниями у студентов России и Казахстана

<p>The article presents the analysis results of stress resistance and basic beliefs as psychological resources for coping with fear of COVID-19 and negative psychological and emotional states on the sample of Russian (N=2310) and Kazakh (N=500) students (71.2% — women, average age 19.7). A higher level of stress resistance and basic belief expression in <em>Benevolence of the World Around </em>and <em>Perceiving the World as Meaningful and Social Justice</em> among Kazakh students in comparison with Russian ones is revealed, which is determined by the peculiarities formed in the conditions of the nomadic lifestyle of the Kazakh culture, based on the principles of mutual support and mutual assistance, trust and openness. It is shown that, regardless of the country and gender, high level of stress resistance and expression of basic beliefs are accompanied by lower indicators of fear of COVID-19 and the absence of negative psychological and emotional states associated with it, which suggests the universality of these psychological resources as a buffer that mitigates the traumatic effect of the pandemic situation.</p>

The teenager’s basic beliefs as a factor of their stress resistance under the conditions of war

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between basic beliefs and the resistance to stress of teenagers under the conditions of war.
 The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between basic beliefs and stress resistance of teenagers in wartime conditions. In general, the level of both stress resistance and the formation of basic beliefs were found to be insufficient for a significant number of teenagers living in the conditions of war in Ukraine. Differences in the manifestations of stress resistance of teenagers depending on gender (boys are characterized by lower indicators than girls), age (with age, indicators of stress resistance of teenagers become higher), number of children in the family (in families with 2 or more children, the stress resistance of teenagers is higher than in families with one child), and distance from the front line (teenagers who live near the front line have lower stress resistance than those who are far from it ) are characterized.
 Features of the basic beliefs of teenagers and their connection with stress resistance are presented. It is shown that the beliefs about the value of one's own "Self", the degree of luck and the randomness of events are insufficiently formed, and teenagers who live close to the front line believe less in the kindness of people, the possibility of self-control, luck, favour of the world and, instead, more in randomness of events. It was established that teenagers with high stress resistance are characterized by formed basic beliefs, they believe more than teenagers with low stress resistance in affection, justice and controllability of the world, the kindness of people, the possibility of self-control and less in the randomness of events. Prospects for further research are outlined; in particular, theoretical substantiation and practical development of a program for the development of stress resistance of teenagers, taking into account their basic beliefs.

STRESS RESISTANCE AND COPING STRATEGIES IN FIRST YEAR MEDICAL RESIDENTS

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the level of stress resistance and coping strategies in first-year medical residents in surgical and pediatric specialties. The problem of adaptation of a young specialist during the period of training in residency to medical practice is relevant, since during this period the correctness of the chosen medical specialty and the career path of a specialist are assessed. As a result of our study, data were obtained on a high level of stress and low adaptation in the residents. Among surgical residents, stress levels are significantly higher. Preferred coping strategies among surgical residents are decision-making and positive reappraisal. Pediatric residents have predominance of escape-avoidance and decision-making coping strategies. The obtained data on the psychological status of medical residents at the initial stage of their career path enabled us to develop a program of psychological support, including diagnosis and training aimed at reducing stress and developing effective behavioral strategies.

Стрессоустойчивость коров черно-пестрой породы зоны Урала

Abstract. In the Urals, one of the numerous breeds of cattle for the production of dairy products is common – black and motley. In recent years, there has been a tendency to decrease the level of livestock with an increase in their productivity indicators and a decrease in the duration of economic use. Scientific novelty. An assessment of the types of stress resistance of cows-daughters from among the first heifers, depending on the highest milk productivity of their mothers, was carried out, bulls-improvers were identified by the type of stress resistance of daughters. The purpose of the research was to study the stress resistance of cows of the black-and-white breed of the Urals. Research methods. The work was carried out in cattle herds of high-tech breeding enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region. 3315 daughters of 34 bulls-producers of various lines were evaluated to identify bulls-improvers on the stress resistance of offspring. The assessment was carried out in two stages: 1) breeding bulls were selected whose daughters did not reduce milk yield with seasonal changes in conditions of detention; 2) bulls whose resistance rank did not exceed the rehabilitation rank were identified by the method of overlapping breeding fields. At the same time, the reaction of the daughters of bulls to stress was assessed using the indices of reduction (Id) and recovery (Ir) of the value of milk yield per month. Results. It was found that the cows-daughters of the evaluated bulls-producers differed in the level of resistance to seasonal changes in housing conditions. Reliable bulls-improvers in terms of the level of stress resistance of offspring have been identified: Potter 128367894, Stardel 658867, Marcos 131801949 and Thaler 4091. The low type of stress resistance of cows-daughters was noted in the group of highly productive cows-mothers – 25 % of heads. In addition, the dependence of the level of stress resistance with the origin of cattle is also noted by other scientists, which confirms the need to carry out breeding work with dairy cattle with the inclusion of stress resistance of animals in the selection indicators.

CRIMINOLOGY RESEARCH OF THE INFLUENCE OF INTERNET CONTENT ON INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION AND BEHAVIOR OF MINORS

The article examines the influence of the Internet on the child's development, behavior and interpersonal communication. The relevance of this problem lies in the search for a balanced and responsible use of information resources. The information field has a constructive effect on the cognitive, motivational and emotional sphere of the minor. The conducted criminological analysis made it possible to single out the main forms of destructive influence of the network on minors, which lead to: commission of offenses, popularization and adaptation of negative and dangerous behavior patterns (cyberbullying, trolling, cybergrooming, sexting, train surfing, rough riding); justifying and encouraging the use of profanity; formation of internet addiction; suicide or victimization. Prophylactic measures in the information sphere are proposed, which are based on the formation of media literacy in the juvenile environment. These measures will contribute to the development of children's conscious attitude to information; formation of acceptable communication skills; achieving goals in real life; will increase the level of sociability, self-esteem and stress resistance in children. Preventive measures should be the basis of information security and acceptable development of the young generation.

Изучение стрессоустойчивости у студентов направления подготовки «Управление персоналом» в процессе адаптации к вузу

The purpose of the study was to identify stress symptoms in students and resources that positively affect the adaptation process at the university, which affect the level of stress resistance of students during their adaptation to the educational environment.
 During the survey (sample – 225 students) (212 girls and 13 boys)) and expert interviews (psychological service workers, members of the faculty of the Kuban State University of the Krasnodar Territory who carry out educational work with students of the first and second courses of study were interviewed (curators and deputy deans for educational work, n = 12)) confirmed the need for a comprehensive study combining socio-psychological and individual typological directions in determining the level of stress resistance of students in the process of adaptation to the educational environment.

Стрессоустойчивость и молочная продуктивность крупного рогатого скота Урала в зависимости от технологии доения

Abstract. In modern conditions of intensification of the agro-industrial complex of our country, the level of influence of stress factors on the indicators of dairy productivity of cattle is an urgent topic for research. According to scientists, the stress resistance of the animal body is characterized by a number of hormones, such as prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol. The scientific novelty lies in the study of the level of stress resistance of cattle with the use of intensive technologies. The purpose of our research work was to analyze the indicators of stress resistance and dairy productivity of cattle in the Urals, depending on the milking technology. Research methods. Scientific work was carried out in breeding herds of black-and-white cattle in the period 2016–2019 on the basis of agricultural enterprises of the Tyumen and Sverdlovsk regions. Distributing the evaluated heifers by types of stress resistance, the level of hormones in their blood was determined during the first lactation in the laboratory using STEROIDIF tests. Results. As a result of the analysis, it was found that in the groups where milking was used in the milk pipeline, animals with a high type of stress resistance had 22.6 % more heads compared to the groups of robotic milking. At the same time, it was noted that the first heifers with an average type of stress resistance during milking by a robot milker are a quarter more than in groups of cows when milking in a milk pipeline. Consequently, the first heifers adapt better to robotic milking. Milk yield is higher for first-time heifers milked with the help of a robot milker compared to linear milking. The difference in this case was more than 700.0 kg (17.3 %) in the studied herds. We recommend that when selecting first-calf cows for intensive milking in breeding herds of the Urals, along with generally accepted assessment indicators, the level of stress resistance of animals should be evaluated.

Accumulation of Secondary Metabolites of Rhodiola semenovii Boriss. In Situ in the Dynamics of Growth and Development.

Rhodiola semenovii Boriss. (Regel and Herder) might be a promising replacement for the well-known but endangered Rhodiola rosea L. In this research, the metabolic profile of R. semenovii, including drug-active and stress-resistant components, was studied in the context of source–sink interactions in situ in the dynamics of growth and development. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection and liquid chromatography methods were used. The data obtained allow for assumptions to be made about which secondary metabolites determine the level of stress resistance in R. semenovii at different stages of ontogeny in situ. For the first time, an expansion in the content of salidroside in the above-ground organs, with its maximum value during the period of seed maturation, and a significant decrease in its content in the root were revealed in the dynamics of vegetation. These results allow us to recommend collecting the ground component of R. semenovii for pharmaceutical purposes throughout the seed development stage without damaging the root system.

Role of the CrcB transporter of Pseudomonas putida in the multi-level stress response elicited by mineral fluoride.

The presence of mineral fluoride (F- ) in the environment has both a geogenic and anthropogenic origin, and the halide has been described to be toxic in virtually all living organisms. While the evidence gathered in different microbial species supports this notion, a systematic exploration of the effects of F- salts on the metabolism and physiology of environmental bacteria remained underexplored thus far. In this work, we studied and characterized tolerance mechanisms deployed by the model soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 against NaF. By adopting systems-level omic approaches, including functional genomics and metabolomics, we gauged the impact of this anion at different regulatory levels under conditions that impair bacterial growth. Several genes involved in halide tolerance were isolated in a genome-wide Tn-Seq screening-among which crcB, encoding an F- -specific exporter, was shown to play the predominant role in detoxification. High-resolution metabolomics, combined with the assessment of intracellular and extracellular pH values and quantitative physiology experiments, underscored the key nodes in central carbon metabolism affected by the presence of F- . Taken together, our results indicate that P. putida undergoes a general, multi-level stress response when challenged with NaF that significantly differs from that caused by other saline stressors. While microbial stress responses to saline and oxidative challenges have been extensively studied and described in the literature, very little is known about the impact of fluoride (F- ) on bacterial physiology and metabolism. This state of affairs contrasts with the fact that F- is more abundant than other halides in the Earth crust (e.g. in some soils, the F- concentration can reach up to 1mg gsoil -1 ). Understanding the global effects of NaF treatment on bacterial physiology is not only relevant to unveil distinct mechanisms of detoxification but it could also guide microbial engineering approaches for the target incorporation of fluorine into value-added organofluorine molecules. In this regard, the soil bacterium P. putida constitutes an ideal model to explore such scenarios, since this species is particularly known for its high level of stress resistance against a variety of physicochemical perturbations.

ДОМІНУЮЧІ КОПІНГ-СТРАТЕГІЇ У СТУДЕНТІВ МЕДИЧНОГО КОЛЕДЖУ

The article presents the results of the ascertaining stage of the study of coping behaviour in students of medical college. The author carried out a theoretical analysis of generic concepts of sanogenic coping, such as sanogenic reflection, sanogenic thinking, coping strategies and coping behaviour. It has been investigated that the most frequent events that cause stress in medical college students are: the death of a close family member, changes in the financial situation, intersex relationships, starting college (for male respondents) and illnesses, changes in social activity, change of a place of residence, conflicts in a collective (dormitory), death of a family member or friend, change of a place of residence and study (for female respondents). The level of stress resistance was experimentally studied and coping strategies were chosen by students to overcome the current stressors. It has been found out that the threshold level of resistance to stress prevails in most students. Thus, students are forced to make a lot of effort and spend their own internal resources to fight against negative mental states that appear in the process of coping with stress. It was identified that there is a significant share of medical college students with low stress resistance – 25% of male respondents and 22% of female respondents, and quite a few individuals showed a high level of stress resistance – only 12% of male respondents and 12% of female respondents. It was found that problem-oriented coping and the search for social support are dominant among medical college students’ coping strategies; other types of strategies such as emotion-oriented coping, avoidance, and distraction are used somewhat less often by young people. It is emphasized that adaptive coping strategies contribute to effective coping with stressful situations. Based on the research, it was found that in most cases, the coping strategies chosen by the students led to an even greater increase in stress. Consequently, the problem of formation and development of productive copingstrategies among students of future medical workers remains relevant. The prospect of further research is the development of practical recommendations for effective coping with stressful and crisis situations in the activities of future medics.

Theoretical and empirical analysis of the problem of resilience and stress resistance in pedagogical activity

It is well known that pedagogical professional activity is characterized by excessive stress. First of all, this is due to the high level of responsibility of the teacher. This profession has a low social status, as a result of which employees of educational institutions constantly feel social insecurity. These factors significantly affect the neuro-mental stability of teachers and cause chronic stress. The purpose of the article is to theoretically and empirically investigate the psychological features of resilience in in teachers, to determine the competencies and characteristics of personality that will help teachers to becomeresilience to stressors they constantly face in their work, while maintaining efficiency and effectiveness in performing professional responsibilities. Domestic and foreign approaches to the definition of resilience have been analyzed in the article. Resilience is defined as person’s stability to the effects of stressful events and factors, while maintaining the ability to recover and the desire to develop and grow as a professional. The issue of psychological features of resilience and stress resistance in accordance with the specifics of the teacher's activity has been revealed.An empirical research of the levels of resilience and stress resistance of teachers and students-future teachers has been conducted using psychodiagnostic techniques: «Brief Resilience Scale» by B. Smith and «Stress Resistance Test» by Yu. Shcherbatykh. The research has showed mostly low and medium levels of resilience in both teachers and future teachers. Both samples had an average level of general indicator of stress resistance, but the scale «Destructive ways to overcome stress» among students-future teachers showed a high level, indicating a lack of skills in effective behavior in stressful situations. Empirical data have been processed and analyzed using methods of mathematical statistics (Pearson's correlation coefficient). As a result, a correlation has been established between the scales of the method «Stress Resistance Test» by Yu. Shcherbatykh: psychosomatics and increased reaction to circumstances; psychosomatics and the tendency to complicate things. The inverse correlation has been defined between resilience and the Psychosomatics scale.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE OF SOCIAL INCLUSION IN THE TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS OF A SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE (UKRAINIAN CONTEXT)

In the presented research we briefly outlined the issues of training specialists of socio-economic profile in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. We addressed certain aspects of social inclusion and the key indicators of social inclusion in accordance with the priorities of social policy development in Europe. In particular, the indicators and goals of social inclusion, such as inclusion and/or exclusion of some groups of population, the impact of the level of «poverty» on these processes. And also, the influence of these factors on the educational process in higher education institutions, the formation of empathy, stress resistance, social adaptation, professional and inclusive competence.As a part of our research, we diagnosed the level of empathy (Yusupov, 2002), stress resistance and social adaptation (Holmes Rage, 2009), social frustration (Wasserman, 2009) of student youth who are included in project activities and studying in basic educational programs. Comparison of statistical data of EU countries and Ukraine on the indicators of inclusion of persons in need of inclusive education in active social processes has been carried out.The analysis briefly presents pedagogical technologies with high efficiency in the formation of competencies of future specialists of socio-economic profile and presents the main trends in the formation of the environment of social inclusion, which are proposed and implemented in the framework of project activities and cooperation with EU countries on the territory of Ukraine.
