ОСОБЕННОСТИ СОМАТОВЕГЕТАТИВНЫХ ПРОЯВЛЕНИЙ У СТУДЕНЧЕСКОЙ МОЛОДЕЖИ С РАССТРОЙСТВОМ АДАПТАЦИИ, СКЛОННЫХ К УВЛЕЧЕНИЮ КОМПЬЮЕТРАМИ И СЕТЬЮ ИНТЕРНЕТ

Objective: to estimate somatovegetative manifestations of student youth with an adjustment disorder addicted to computers and the Internet.Materials and methods. 510 male and female students of 1st and 2nd courses of one of the universities aged 17 to 20 years were examined. We determined how much time students spend on the Internet and at the computer. To assess the psycho-emotional state we used SCL-90-R test. We evaluated relationships between amount of time spent on the Internet and level of somatovegetative symptoms using the somatization subscale (SOM) from the SCL-90-R questionnaire.Results. Students were divided into 3 groups: practically healthy, with non-pathological adjustment disorders, with individual signs of adjustment disorders. To distribute students into groups, we used cluster analysis (the «k-median» method). We used 5 subscales of SCL-90-R for dividing students: SOM; INT; DEP; ANX; PHOB. Statistically significant differences were found between students of the following groups: practically healthy – 273 (53.5%) people, among them 130 men (47.6%) and 143 women (52.4%); with non-pathological adjustment disorders – 155 (30.4%) people, among them 60 men (38.7%) and 95 women (61.3%); with individual signs of adjustment disorders – 82 (16.1%) people, among them 13 people men (15.9%) and 69 women (84.1%). Conclusions. It was revealed that students have an addiction to computers and the Internet: 23.7% of all surveyed (n = 510) spend about 5 hours a day at the computer every day on weekdays and 33.7% at the weekend. The gender characteristics of youth inclination to spend time at the computer monitor and / or on the Internet in groups were established.. The high proportion of female students (42.0% on weekdays and 50.7% at the weekend) with individual signs of adjustment disorders spend about 5 hours at the computer. 2-fold excess of normal values ​​of the somatization index in the group with non-pathological adjustment disorders and 4-fold excess of normal values in the group with individual signs of adjustment disorders were revealed. The obtained data formed the basis of a comprehensive programme of psychopreventions of adjustment disorders and excessive enthusiasm for computers and the Internet among student youth.
