Self-actualization features in female medical students of Northern university

Abstract

The paper addresses the issues of self-actualization in female medical students at Surgut State University. The authors’ definition of the aforementioned term centers on the pursuit of personal fulfillment and the activation of the young generation’s inherent abilities. This topic is especially relevant given the characteristics of the modern education process, such as rapid changes, the large amount of information, and high competition. The research is conducted at Surgut State University using cognitive analytic therapy. It includes 161 female medical students from Surgut State University aged 18‒22. The analyzed individuals exhibit a notable degree of self-actualization. This leads to enhanced psychological and emotional well-being, contributing to greater overall life satisfaction and the development of a more balanced and productive society. However, behavioral flexibility and cognitive ability are characterized by low scores and require close attention during the organization of the educational process. The self-actualization assessment techniques are applicable in the identification of female university students’ capabilities for designing personalized development programs and a creative educational system. This system’s focus would encompass academic accomplishments and the individual development of each participant in the educational process.
