Abstract

background: the relevance of this problem is that the level of personal anxiety under the influence of the above-described external factors significantly exceeds the initial level of anxiety, which is a substrate for the development of various types of neurotic disorders. Early recognition of such conditions can play a key role in the timely detection, prevention and psychotherapeutic impact on emerging psychogenic diseases. The aim of the study: to study the indicators of anxiety levels among students of different universities depending on the region, to determine the presence of a relationship between the indicator of the level of personal anxiety and the region of residence, to confirm or refute whether respondents living in the Kursk region experience anxiety in modern realities. Materials and methods. The work used the test of differential assessment of personal anxiety (TDAPA). Students from 4 universities took part in the study, the sample for each educational institution was 70 people (a total of 280 students). Results: The study showed that the high level of anxiety of respondents from Kursk is the result of the impact of an environment unfavorable for the mental health of the population. In contrast, the vast majority of respondents from Moscow and Bryansk have anxiety within the normative range. Consequently, there is a direct relationship between events occurring in the region of residence and the level of anxiety. Conclusion: The questionnaire survey using the test of differential assessment of personal anxiety (TDAPA) showed that people living far from the border have less pronounced personal anxiety, compared to residents of the region where military actions are taking place. This is consistent with the concept of the influence of stress on this indicator.
