FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE OF SUPPORTING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS IN AN INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

In the article, through a comparative theoretical analysis through domestic and foreign scientific works, universal and specific problems of supporting the psychological well-being of applicants are revealed, and ways to optimize the work of psychological services in higher education institutions are also proposed. The comparative analysis of domestic and foreign works allows us to state that the effective development of the system of psychological support in higher education requires a strategic approach based on the adaptation of key principles of international experience to national specifics. The main conclusions and recommendations can be formulated as follows. The psychological distress of acquirers is multifaceted, combining adaptation difficulties, interpersonal problems, and personal crises. International experience offers a developed conceptual apparatus and multi-level models of assistance. However, when developing them, it is advisable for the domestic system to preserve the psychological-pedagogical and preventive focus of the work of higher education services, which corresponds to their personnel potential and organizational tasks.

A holistic approach to the psychological support of applicants should be systematic, proactive and multi-level, based on the principle of a university-wide approach, which integrates care for mental well-being into all spheres of life of higher education institutions - from academic processes to extracurricular activities. The implementation of these principles, taking into account the best international experience and the specifics of domestic higher education, will allow higher education institutions not only to adequately respond to growing challenges, but also to promote the realization of the potential of student youth, creating an environment that prevents difficulties and promotes personal growth.
