The article deals with the results of a resilience level study of 4th-year students of the Faculty of Medicine in comparison with 4th-year students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Bukovinian State Medical University. The influence of educational stressors, in particular high cognitive load, fast pace of learning, and the risk of early emotional burnout on the psychological state of medical students was investigated.
In order to comprehensively assess the level of stress tolerance, adaptive stress response mechanisms, and psychological well-being of students in the context of their academic activities, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (0-40), Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale-10, GAD-7 anxiety scale were used.
The author views resilience not as a static trait, but as a dynamic process that can be trained. The effectiveness of using some techniques (Qigong, Pranayama) in building resilience through the development of awareness (mindfulness), a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, improving the physical condition of the body and reducing stress levels has been demonstrated.
The importance of various practical techniques integration into the educational process for developing the resilience of medical students is emphasized is a part of the comprehensive work of a Medical University teacher with students. The importance of developing emotional self-regulation and stress management skills through relaxation techniques is highlighted. It is noted that the ability of future doctors to improve their quality of life, create conditions for maintaining their own mental health, and take care of themselves is extremely necessary for increasing professional efficiency and adaptation in stressful conditions.
