ASSESSMENT OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE CARDIOVAS- CULAR SYSTEM AND THE LEVEL OF ANXIETY OF STUDENTS IN THE HUMANITIES AND NATURAL SCIENCES IN THE NORTH
The aim of this work was to study the parameters of the functional state of the cardiovascular system, the tone of the autonomic nervous system, and the psychoemotional state of the body of the adaptation of first-year students of the humanitarian and natural sciences education to the educational process at the university in the North. The study involved female students of the 1st year of the Medical Institute (n = 24) and the Institute of Psychology (n = 24) of the North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov from among volunteers aged 17 to 19 years, of indigenous nationality. The following CCC parameters were measured: systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse arterial pressure, heart rate, Robinson index, coefficient of blood circulation efficiency, endurance coefficient, systolic and minute volume of blood circulation, and Kerdo vegetative index were calculated. The study of the psychoemotional state of the body was carried out using the Spielberger questionnaire in the modification of Hanin. The results of our research have shown that training in a medical university is accompanied by an increase in the level of anxiety and, as a consequence, an increase in the tension of the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system and a lower level of its functionality compared to students studying in a university of humanitarian profile. The specifics of education in a medical university and the high degree of complexity of education, perhaps, determine the tension of the regulatory systems of the body, which may later become a cause of disruption of adaptation processes and increase the risk of psychosomatic diseases.
