BACKGROUND: A comprehensive study of the medical and social characteristics and health-related quality of life of medical students is relevant for making science-based decisions in the development, monitoring, and correction of interventions to optimize the educational environment, promote healthy lifestyles, and prevent disease among students.

AIM: To analyze the medical and social characteristics and health-related quality of life of medical university students, as well as to identify factors associated with quality of life.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: An analysis was conducted on the data from a survey administered to 670 students enrolled in the third year of a medical university program specializing in medical care. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. The data were collected from October to December 2024. The statistical data processing was performed using the SPSS 25 program.

RESULTS: Medical and social characteristics of students were examined, including demographic indices, lifestyle indicators, and students’ awareness of a healthy lifestyle. Correlation and regression analyses were used to identify the most significant medical and social factors (predictors) and their contribution to the self-reported physical and psychological components of health. For the physical component of health, the student’s gender, work-study arrangements, financial security, adherence to healthy lifestyle principles, physical activity, stress, and awareness of healthy lifestyle issues are important. For the psychological component of health, adherence to healthy lifestyle principles, physical activity, smoking, stress, and awareness of healthy lifestyle issues are relevant.

CONCLUSION: The research on the assessment of medical and social characteristics and students’ quality of life should be expanded to facilitate optimal administrative, managerial, organizational, and preventive decisions regarding the optimization of educational space, health management, and the development of a healthy lifestyle within medical universities. The study’s continuation is planned for the first-year and senior students.

Обоснование. Комплексное изучение медико-социальных характеристик и качества жизни, связанного со здоровьем, студентов медицинских университетов является актуальным для принятия научно-обоснованных решений при разработке, мониторинге и коррекции комплекса мероприятий по оптимизации образовательного пространства, формированию здорового образа жизни и профилактике заболеваний среди учащихся.

Цель. Провести анализ медико-социальных характеристик и качества жизни, связанного со здоровьем, студентов медицинского университета и выявить факторы, ассоциированные с качеством жизни.

Материалы и методы. Проанализированы данные опроса 670 студентов III курса медицинского университета, обучающихся по специальности «лечебное дело». Качество жизни, связанное со здоровьем, изучалось с помощью опросника SF-36. Сроки сбора материала: октябрь — декабрь 2024 г. Статистическую обработку данных проводили с помощью программы SPSS 25.

Результаты. Изучены медико-социальные характеристики студентов, включая демографические показатели, характеристики образа жизни и информированности студентов по вопросам здорового образа жизни. Проведённый корреляционно-регрессионный анализ позволил выявить наиболее значимые медико-социальные факторы (предикторы) и их вклад в самооценку физического и психологического компонентов здоровья. Для физического компонента здоровья имеют значение пол студента, совмещение учёбы и работы, материальная обеспеченность, соблюдение принципов здорового образа жизни (ЗОЖ), двигательная активность, стрессы и информированность по вопросам ЗОЖ; для психологического компонента здоровья — соблюдение принципов ЗОЖ, двигательная активность, курение, стрессы и информированность по вопросам ЗОЖ.

Заключение. Необходимо расширять исследования по оценке медико-социальных характеристик и качества жизни студентов для принятия оптимальных административно-управленческих, организационных и профилактических решений, направленных на оптимизацию образовательного пространства, управление здоровьем и развитие здорового образа жизни студентов на платформе медицинских университетов. Планируется продолжение исследования среди студентов в начале и на старших курсах обучения.
