Introduction. In connection with low competency of young people in the issue of life safety it is relevant to analyze entirely the students` attitude to healthy lifestyle. Also it is important to assess the students` knowledge about reproductive health and ways of keeping it well. Materials and methods. The authors undertook questionnaire method and asked anonymously seven hundred sixty three students of Samara National Research University. Survey consists of 38 questions regarding students` age, leisure time, academic performance and influence of the process of education on health, family social status, attitude to sport, psychoactive substances. Also students were asked about their knowledge of healthy lifestyle components, sexually transmitted infections, possibility of prevention and contraception. Results. The authors found out that young men do sports more often than girls. Also boys use more often cold training and eat regularly. Every tenth girl has a lack sleep, sleep duration is less than 5-6 hours. 30% of boys and girls drink alcohol two or three times a month, 35% of students smoke. 12.45% of young people (men and women) experimented with drugs. Peculiarities of students`sexual behaviour are early beginning of sexual intercourse and frequent changing of sexual partners. The authors revealed low level of students` knowledge about contraception, sexually transmitted infections and its sequela, preventive measures. Limitations. Only students of Samara National Research University were involved into this investigation except students of Biology Faculty (because they are more informed in the field of healthy life style and reproductive health) and students who do sports professionally or who have chronic diseases. Conclusion. The problem of reproductive health care and primary prevention of sexually transmitted infections can`t be solved only by medical staff. Correction of risky behaviour is an interdisciplinary challenge that demands comprehensive approach focused on group and social norm changing. Universities must play an important role in this issue making it possible for professors to have classes of academic discipline such as «Family health», « Fundamentals of Medicine» where qualified professors with higher medical education can discuss with students the issue of reproductive behavior.
In the article authors investigate the problem of readiness of students of the University for the perception of knowledge in the condition of digitalization. Due to the dramatic changing role of the Universities in rapidly developing high-tech environment there is a need for new educational technology, which can provide preparing of young people for life in modern informational society. The purpose of the study is to analyze the readiness of students of the University for the perception of knowledge in life safety in the period of distance education via Internet. Questionnaire survey covered 395 students (245 girls and 150 boys) of Samara University aged from 17 to 24, the research was done with using of Google Drive, section Forms. The research includes the analysis of managing of study and recreation by students, their physical health, changes caused by distance education and students` attitude to different forms of education. We revealed the readiness of students for awareness the necessity to obtain quality and full knowledge, time management that encourages the developing of responsible attitude to personal improvement, adaptation to changing living conditions. Organizers of educational process must provide digital educational platforms, improve and apply new educational learning technology taking into account unequal conditions for students in using the capabilities of the technical equipment. In order to keep all participants healthy it is necessary to take into account time spent for mastering curricula, to use actively digital technology for better messaging information and for checking knowledge when developing new forms and methods of teaching in the condition of digitalization. It is necessary to choose carefully the format of education because of the specificity of subjects. Academic discipline Life Safety includes enough specific training material that demands offline explanation. Especially it is necessary to attend practical classes which develop skills of first aid, behavior algorithms and emergency rescue. The authors conclude: а completely distance education will dramatically lower the quality of teaching, learning, getting necessary skills for students in their future daily and professional life.
