Interrelation of Stress Resistance and Sovereignty of the Psychological Space of the Person in Students with Disabilities and Limited Health Opportunities

Abstract

The study involved 61 students aged 20 to 23 years, including 23 boys and 38 girls belonging to different nosological groups (hearing disorders, speech disorders, disorders of the musculoskeletal system). The questionnaire “Sovereignty of psychological space” (S.K. Nartova-Bochaver) and “Stress tolerance test” (Yu.V. Shcherbatykh) were used as diagnostic material. For statistical data processing, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Pearson correlation coefficient (r-Pearson) were used. Statistically significant relationships were revealed between indicators of sovereignty - personality deprivation of students with disabilities and their tendency to complicate everything, react sharply to life events and even minor facts, as well as predisposition to psychosomatic diseases and destructive ways of coping with stress. It is concluded that in the system of inclusive higher education, specially organized programs of psychological support for the process of socialization of students with disabilities and disabilities in the university, aimed at helping them to establish the external and internal boundaries of the psychological space of their personality, are important and significant.
