Педагогическая практика как условие нормализации психологического самочувствия личности студента

The research aims to substantiate the essence and structure of the notion of a student’s personal psychological well-being in relation to future teachers in the process of practice. The paper analyzes the notion of “personal psychological well-being” and substantiates the author’s definition of the notion of “a student’s personal psychological well-being in the process of teaching practice”, which is an integral and dynamic characteristic of an individual, reflecting the internal psychological state of each student in the process of teaching practice, revealing a student’s self-perception of their own professional achievements as the basis of their social and professional self-determination. A system of criteria and their detailed indicators for the manifestation of personal psychological well-being among teacher students in the process of teaching practice (the cognitive criterion, the emotional criterion, the personal criterion) is proposed. The methodology of a pilot study is described and the results of such a study involving undergraduate students are analyzed. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the following: a new direction for the development of models, content and methodological support for students’ teaching practice is substantiated from the standpoint of changes in their psychological well-being. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the inclusion of the context of reflective-innovative activity in the content of practice, the activation of self-analysis and self-development mechanisms in students in the process of practical training contribute to the normalization of psychological well-being among teacher students, increasing the sense of confidence in the correctness of their professional actions and personal self-realization.

The Mediating Role of Positive Attitudes on the Relationship Between Esports Gaming Hours and Psychological Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Electronic sports game (esports) gaming has seen a surge in popularity, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with more young people turning to it as an alternative to physical activities. However, the impact of esports gaming on mental health is a matter of concern. Previous studies have produced inconsistent findings on the relationship between gaming hours and mental health, and the moderating factors involved remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of participants' subjective attitudes toward esports gaming on the relationship between daily gaming hours and psychological well-being (PWB) among Chinese young adults during the COVID-19 lockdown. A nationwide online survey was conducted on 550 Chinese young adults using the Credamo platform. Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (42-Item version) were used to assess PWB levels. The analysis included 453 participants. Gaming hours were negatively correlated with PWB scores. However, when considering the moderating effect of subjective attitudes, the association between gaming hours and PWB scores was largely positive. Our study suggests that subjective attitudes toward esports gaming outweigh gaming hours in promoting personal psychological well-being. We propose practical recommendations for healthy esports participation patterns that prioritize positive attitudes, especially in similar future scenarios like COVID-19. Our findings may inform future psychological intervention and research in the esports domain.

Psychological well-being in persons with dementia: The role of caregiver expressed emotion.

Dementia is a growing health concern. Persons with dementia experience higher levels of anxiety and depression, which correlates with poorer quality of life, disability and hospitalization. This is one of the few studies to use a longitudinal design to assess the impact of expressed emotion (EE) on well-being in dementia over time. Sixty-one people with dementia and their main informal caregiver were recruited from memory services. Caregiver EE was coded from a Camberwell Family Interview conducted at time one. Person with dementia's outcome measures (quality of life, depression and anxiety) were collected at time one and at 6-months follow-up. Caregiver high EE was associated with higher levels of depression in people with dementia and greater anxiety at follow-up. Emotional over involvement predicted greater anxiety and critical comments predicted greater depression. Low EE appeared to have a protective effect on well-being in people with dementia. People with dementia with low EE caregivers experienced a small reduction in depression and anxiety over time, whereas those with high-EE caregivers maintained baseline levels of depression and anxiety. Caregiver high EE is associated with poorer psychological outcomes for people with dementia over time. Psychological therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy informed family interventions should be used to reduce high EE within carer and person with dementia relationships.

Study of peculiarities of social network using depending on personal psychological well-being

The study of psychological well-being is a really important issue of the modern society and the contemporary science. Many mental disorders and psychosomatic diseases are anteceded by mood decline, experience of ill-being. If the sense of satisfaction is absent, tensions, inconsistency in actions appear and overall functional efficiency decreases. The life style of very many people has undergone dramatic changes over the last 20 years. One of the main reasons for these changes is emergence of the Internet and its special faculty – social networks. It is well known that communications are a necessary structural component of psychological well-being. Emergence of social networks has expanded communicative opportunities to virtual infinity; at the same time, such communications swallow up personal time and efforts. This article makes an attempt to analyze peculiarities of personal behavior in social networks depending on a personal level of psychological well-being.

Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Relative to Swallowing Impairment in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis

Dysphagia and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress are common in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). We posited a relationship between dysphagia and increased frequency of psychological symptoms. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine associations between symptoms of psychological difficulties, use of emotional suppression and cognitive reappraisal strategies, and dysphagia status in persons with MS. One hundred persons with MS were prospectively assessed in multiple domains of functioning: cognitive, psychological, and dysphagia-related. Participants underwent cognitive screening with the Mini Mental State Examination and completed two psychological inventories: The depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS)-21 and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Further, they completed the dysphagia in Multiple Sclerosis questionnaire. A speech-language pathologist evaluated persons suspected of having dysphagia with the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability. Dysphagia was present in 29 persons with MS, and the sample was split accordingly. The two groups differed at baseline with respect to Expanded Disability Status Scale scores. There were significant between-group differences for mental health symptoms and for use of emotional regulation strategies. Accordingly, multivariate logistic regressions showed that increased symptoms of psychological stress, decreased use of cognitive reappraisal strategies, and increased indicators of emotional suppression independently predicted the presence of dysphagia. There was a clear pattern towards poorer psychological well-being in persons with dysphagia compared to those without. Psychological difficulties may contribute to the manifestation or worsening of dysphagia and should be addressed in treatment planning and future investigations. Therapeutic interventions that promote improvement in mental state alongside swallowing function may be highly beneficial.

Overcoming Ethical Challenges in Conducting Research Among Persons With Dementia

By 2060, the number of older adults with Alzhemier’s Disease or related dementias (ADRD) is expected to encompass approximately 13.9 million Americans. Recognizing this, the federal government has prioritized research on ADRD and their effect on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of persons with dementia (PWD). Such research is complicated by disease-associated decline in cognitive and functional capacity among PWDs which can impair participant ability to process and communicate information, potentially increasing their exposure to negative research-related experiences and compromising the accuracy and reliability of provided data. Nevertheless, as a key stakeholder group, PWD should have the right to participate in research on ADRD. This session will present a case study of ethical issues that emerged in an NIH-funded study utilizing mixed-methods to examine caregiving and care dyad relationships between PWD and their care partners over an 18-month follow-up period. Ethical issues examined will include: (1) PWD capacity to consent to research at baseline and (2) during follow-up visits, (3) Obtaining accurate and reliable data from persons with mild to moderate dementia, (4) Assessing PWD distress while engaging in data collection processes, and (5) Reporting of negative caregiving and life experiences, such as elder mistreatment. The discussion of these topics and presentation of lessons learned holds promise for improving research methodology in studies involving PWD and enabling researchers to increase the involvement of persons with mild to moderate dementia in research on ADRD.

Preparing Students to Interact With Persons With Dementia in a Research Context

By U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates, the number of older adults with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD) is expected to increase 278% by 2060 to affect approximately 13.9 million individuals. Research is needed to not only improve understanding and treatment of ADRD but to also study its effect on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of persons with dementia (PWD) and their care partners (CP). However, due to the diminishing cognitive and functional capacities of PWDs associated with the progression of ADRD over time, research efforts are sometimes hampered by a plethora of potential scientific, logistical, ethical, and emotional barriers. This session will introduce an educational approach used to train students who are interested in conducting in-home research among PWDs and their CPs and share lessons learned through the program’s pilot training of undergraduate and graduate students (N=6). Through didactic training, role-playing exercises, and experiential learning processes, trainees are equipped to accompany research project interviewers into the homes of PWD and assist in implementing research protocols. Students receive extensive training in the disease trajectories of ADRD, the impacts of disease on PWDs and their CPs, ways to communicate and interact with PWDs, best practices in promoting the protection and autonomy of human subjects with dementia, and approaches to obtaining quality data for research.

THE FEATURES OF DEFENSIVE-COPING BEHAVIOUR CHARACTERISTIC FOR PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

An achieved sense of life fullness, life filled with meaning due to interactions with the outside world can be described by the concept of psychological well-being. Psychological well-being is a dynamic process depending on many mutually-linked external and internal factors. An experience of subjectively grave events threats greatly personal psychological well-being; but some adaptive constructs, such as defensive-coping behaviour based on the organization of certain optimal strategies, can greatly facilitate the stress and help overcome frustration situations. The defensive-coping behaviour consists of psychological defence mechanisms and coping strategies. The presented empirical study analyses the difference in defensive-coping behaviour characteristic for people with different levels of psychological well-being. The study involved 103 people aged 19 to 65 years, including 45 students of the Department of Psychology, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, 39 respondents worked in various occupational fields and 9 retired people. We used qualitative and quantitative analysis (discriminatory statistics, such as measures of central tendency, frequency analysis), Student t-test and correlation analysis to process the obtained empirical data. The results show that the intensity of defence mechanisms is higher in the group with low psychological well-being. This indicates that psychological defence of the respondents with low psychological well-being focus to a greater degree on maintenance of a once achieved positive state (or to restore the lost). In this group, adaptation to adverse events occurs through fantasizing and appropriation of the qualities of another person, as well as through the transfer of responsibility for their own inappropriate actions to other people. In the group with high psychological well-being, the mechanisms of intellectualization and denial are more often used, which indicates that logical conclusions help to ease an unfavourable situation and its consequences threatening for personal well-being. On the one hand, this behavioural pattern is less traumatic for an individual’s inner world, but on the other one, it can also be a source of distortion of the surrounding information. Also, the problem-oriented strategies prevail in the structure of defensive-coping behaviour of the respondents with high psychological well-being, for example, such strategies as: positive reappraisal, problem-solving planning, self-control, and distance. Coping behaviour in the group with low psychological well-being is based most often on the escape-avoidance strategy. &nbsp
