Świadomość samopoczucia zdrowotnego studentów w kontekście zagrożeń zdrowia psychicznego
Awareness of students` health well-being in the context of mental health risks

Summary/Abstract: Introduction. The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between self-esteem in physical, mental and social health and control of emotions and mental health expressed by somatic symptoms, anxiety, insomnia, difficulty in fulfilling professional duties and emerging depressive symptoms. Material and methods. The study covered a group of 71 students of pedagogy. Following research tools were used: CECS Emotional Control Scale, self-built questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire – GHQ. Results. Assessment of physical, mental and social health was associated with the presence of somatic symptoms and the probability of mental health disorders. Men overestimate their state of health. Patients who control their anger manifest fewer depressive symptoms and they function better in daily tasks. Conclusions. Individuals who assess their health not necessarily as satisfactory reveal behavior that can be treated as a probability of mental disorder (9.8%). These findings are disquieting and they confirm the need for health education that is focused on mental health problems.
