Abstract

Purpose: To justify theoretically the model for the health culture of a student's personality with the system of criteria and indicators. To examine the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university and their influence on the health culture of master's students. Material: Complex of psychodiagnostic techniques and medical methods for determining the level of the health culture of a student's personality was used in the research. Respondents were 20 groups of master's students: 15 experimental groups in which the groups (Е1-10) were under the big influence of active factors, (Е11-15) under less influence, and also 5 control groups (С1-5), who studied by traditional programs. The total number of studied master's students was 288 people. The research was conducted at the National Academy of National Guard of Ukraine in 2013-2018. Results: The regularity of interrelations between the degree of active influence research factors on students and the level of their health culture was revealed. In the experimental groups Е1-10 higher indices were revealed than in the Е11-15 groups, in contrast to the С1-5 control group, in which no significant deviations were observed. The evaluation of the results was calculated by Pearson's criterion χ2 for statistical significance (p≤0.05). Conclusions: Using the model for the health culture of personality with specific criteria and indicators allowed studying the influence of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university on the level of the health culture of master's students. Regularities were established: 1) the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work in the conditions of higher education positively influences on the formation of the health culture of master's students; 2) the level of a personality's health culture depends on the degree of active influence factors on it.
