METHOD OF DETERMINING BELONGING OF STUDENT TO RISK GROUP OF EXAMINATION DISTRESS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, in particular, to medical physiology and laboratory diagnostics, and can be used for estimation of student's ability to form pathologic reactions (distress) in response to psychoemotional examination stress. In period of examination session levels of the following parameters are determined in blood of students: cortisol, IgM, IgA, amylase in blood serum, leptin in blood plasma, number of erythrocytes and lymphocytes in whole blood. Obtained results are evaluated, comparing obtained results of indices with three standards of distress criteria: standard 1: level of leptin lower than 3.6 ng/ml before exam and lower than 3.2 ng/ml after exam; level of IgM is lower than 1.5 g/l before exam and lower than 1.8 g/l after exam; level of IgA is lower than 1.4 g/l before exam; number of erythrocytes is higher than 4.8*10¹² /l after exam; standard 2: level of cortisol is lower than 75 ng/ml before and after exam; level of leptin is lower than 3.6 ng/ml before exam and lower than 3.2 ng/ml after exam; level of IgM is lower than 1.8 g/l after exam; standard 3: level of cortisol is lower than 75 ng/ml before and after exam; level of lymphocytes is higher than 40% before exam; number of erythrocytes is lower than 4.5*10¹² /l after exam; level of amylase is lower than 80 U/l after exam; level of IgM is lower than 1.8 g/l after exam. If results of testing correspond to at least one of standards of criterion values by 80% and higher, conclusion about predisposition of student to distress is made.;EFFECT: method makes it possible to predict unfavourable sequences of examination stress after several years of studying at higher educational establishment.;4 tbl, 3 dwg, 3 ex
