SANOGENIC THINKING AS A FACTOR IN PRESERVING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS IN MARTIAL LAW CONDITIONS

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the role of sanogenic thinking in preserving and strengthening the mental health of students in conditions of martial law. It has been established that the mental health of students is associated with the conditions of martial law, which provokes stressful situations, which negatively affects in all spheres of a person’s life. To overcome these stressful situations, it is necessary to undergo appropriate training in order to suc- cessfully utilize external and internal resources. Purpose of the research – revealing the sanogenic thinking essence as a factor in the mental health preserving of students in conditions of martial law.Scientific novelty. Emphasis is placed on the fact that one of the internal resources for overcoming a negative emotional state is sanogenic thinking. It is noted that thinking is an inexhaustible resource that a person can use not only to overcome stress, but also to understand problematic, stressful situations, thanks to their comprehension (reflection) in difficult life situations. Conclusions. Through the analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources, it was found that the term “sanogenic reflection” denotes reflection aimed at reducing the individual’s suffering from negative emotions, which ensures a conscious choice of adequate models and strategies of behavior. The criteria of mental health are highlighted.In the context of the study is relevant the pathogenic thinking research. It is a thinking that generates negative emotions and creates emotional stress and adaptation diseases, as a result of which a person becomes defenseless against his own mind. Three features of pathogenic thinking are identified.The psychological conditions and means of forming sanogenic thinking in students are determined, which are supplemented by the method of developing sanogenic reflection through autopsychoanalysis of experiences. In addition, you can use the theory of emotional intelligence, which has gained wide application in the context of understanding and managing not only your own emotions, but also those of other people. Thanks to in time mental health support, students can realize their own potential and cope with life’s stresses, studying productively and fruitfully under martial law.The criteria for a high level of development of sanogenic thinking are identified and the possibilities of forming sanogenic thinking of future education seekers in conditions of martial law are revealed. Psychological training aimed at forming sanogenic thinking of future education seekers is characterized.It is thanks to psychological training that students’ personal growth occurs, they acquire the skills of sanogenic thinking, aimed at becoming more prosperous than before, developing their own internal mental strengths, harmonizing self-esteem, and activating the mechanisms of personal self-regulation and stress resistance resources.The proposed approach not only contributes to the preservation of mental health in conditions of martial law, but alsoensures success in future professional activities by developing constructive ways to overcome professional and interper-sonal difficulties, emotional exhaustion, and the development of sanogenic thinking.Prospects for further scientific research into the problem of increasing the level of stress resistance of students in conditions of martial law to preserve their mental health have been identified.
