Correction of physical health and psycho-emotional state of student youth under martial law

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the level of physical health and psycho-emotional state of students under martial law and propose means oftheir psychophysical correction. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in 2023-2024 among students aged 20-22 (men, n = 52). The physical health of students was assessed using the "Health Self-Assessment" method; the psycho-emotional state was evaluated using "Diagnosis of Social Frustration Level" and "Anxiety Scale" methods. Results: It has been found that the level of physical health of 42.3 % of students was rated as satisfactory, 23.1 % as mediocre, 19.2 % as good, and 15.4 % as unsatisfactory. More than half of the students during martial law experience headaches (53.8 %), deterioration of physical condition (86.5 %), have trouble sleeping (76.9 %); complain of physical fatigue (84.6 %), feel depressed (92.3 %). The majority ofthe students are dissatisfied with their socio-economic situation and have a high level of anxiety. A set of measures has been proposed to correct the physical health and psycho-emotional state of students. Conclusions: It has been determined that under martial law, there is an unfavorable trend among students to deteriorate both physical and mental health indicators. Students show a high level of anxiety in both real and imaginary stressful situations provoked by war, which can be formed as an individual trait. The developed set of corrective measures will help preserve and restore students' physical and mental health, help them overcome difficulties, develop the ability to relieve muscle and emotional stress, etc.
