On problem of model of university coordinating centre Health culture of students

In this article the problems of students health and organizinga Centre in the university, whose function is to coordinate psychological support of students in the following directions: prophylactic,preserving, strengthening students health and psychotherapy, are discussed. The necessity of such a Centre is caused by the situationof unsatisfactory health state of students: not only physical but also psychological, social and spiritual. A complex approach isneeded, which includes physical culture and sport, medical help and psychological support. Students of different forms of education,years of study, professions, (psychologists, clinical psychologists, naturalists and athletes) and regions (Tomsk, Bijsk, Vladivostok,Ekaterinburg), men and women aged 17-35 (702 persons total) took part in the study. The following methods were used: the questionnaireof R. Straub How are you? adapted by G.V. Zalevskiy, Rokeach Value Survey, Short self-actualisation scale by Jones and Krandel,and some scales of Tomsk questionnaire of Rigidity by Zalevskiy (TQRZ). The mathematic-statistical methods were also used:descriptive, correlational, factorial, and cluster analysis, and ANOVA/MANOVA. The whole-value approach was the basis of study inthe frame of anthropological psychology and in the context of bio-psycho-socio-noetic model and structure-level organization of manand his health. The keynote conclusions of the study are as follows: 1. The health level of students in the researched age (17-35) on allthe scales of Straub questionnaire is moderate or average, which is conditioned, first, by a low level of their life style, which, second, inits turn is caused by the low rank of health in the value system of students. 2. The physical health, reflecting the biological part of biopsycho-socio-noetic nature of man, in the process of ontogenetic socialization is influenced by the mans nature and health of a higherlevel (first of all spiritual) and integrates into the structure of personal health (which includes psychological and social health), that is,first, it turns out, that Juvenals mens sana in corpore sano and vice versa is not only desirable but also possible, that certainly, and, second,one should stop to think about health in physical terms only. 3. Profession influences physical and spiritual health of studentsmostly. Students of professions (sport students, psychologists), showing higher results on health scales, rank the value of health higher,too. 4. Without dependence on the study year, profession and higher school location, a coordinating Centre The health culture of students,whose functional and coordinating model we have proposed, can be necessary and can play a very important role in the solutionof prevention, saving and strengthening students health, and giving psychological help to students of the risk groups.
