“…Findings from the 2020 Health Survey of Catalonia demonstrate that the percentage of women with psychosomatic disorders was 24.2% higher than men. 5 Further studies determined that the increase in prevalence in women may be correlated to higher rates of women who experience physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse, hindering their mental health. The violence against women results in the vulnerability of women's mental and physical health leading to possible trauma-related psychosomatic symptoms.…”

“…На сьогодні, неврологічні розлади належать до найпоширеніших захворювань в світі. Так, частота психосоматичні порушення у розвинених країнах становить від 20% до 60% [1]. Особливо гострою є проблема в Україні, оскільки повномасштабне військове вторгнення позначитися на психологічному здоров'ї кожного громадянина [2].…”

Backround. Stress is one of the most urgent problems of modern society, which determines the increase in the consumption of sedative drugs. Aim: to analyze the role of pharmaceutical care in ensuring the rational use of sedatives. Materials and methods. 124 pharmacists and 101 pharmacy visitors were surveyed. The work used methods: standardization, sociological survey, graphics, and statistics. Results. It was found that almost 80% of respondents reported sleep disorders and anxiety, while only 27% sought help from a specialist. More than 90% of pharmacists confirmed that since the beginning of the military invasion, the number of requests from visitors to dispense sedative drugs, mostly without a doctor's prescription, has increased significantly. Thus, almost 40% of respondents used self-prescription and self-medication of sedatives. It was found that pharmacists (90%) recommend more often, and visitors (56%) choose herbal sedatives. In addition, 70% of pharmacists noted requests from visitors to dispense the drug hidazepam without a doctor's prescription. When dispensing sedatives, more than half of the surveyed pharmacists do not use the "Symptomatic treatment of stress" protocol. Visitors to pharmacies, who mostly did not receive recommendations on the rules for the use of sedatives, noted the appearance of undesirable reactions after their use, such as drowsiness and weakness during the day (48.8%), sleep disorders (22.0%), dizziness (34.1 %), development of addiction (22.0%). Conclusion. Providing high-quality pharmaceutical care is a prerequisite for effective and safe sedative therapy. At the same time, it is important to conduct thematic improvement for pharmacists in psychopharmacology.

RELEVANCE: The relevance of the study is due to the lack of systematic data on the cause-and-effect relationships between the territorial remoteness of the initial and final settlements when changing place of residence with the risk of developing psychosomatic disorders in a person with increased neuropsychic and intellectual stress. AIM: To develop an integrative indicator of the risk of developing psychosomatic disorders in young people when changing their place of residence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved students of the Volgograd State Medical University, 97 men and 99 women aged 18-22 years. Nonresident respondents accounted for 44% (45 people) of the sample population of men and 60% (61 people) of the sample population of women. The cross-sectional study was carried out in June 2023, during the spring session, 9 months after the start of university studies, and, accordingly, from the moment nonresident students changed their place of residence. The level of systemic maladjustment of respondents was assessed using the I.N. Gurvich test. The indicators of the Giessen Somatic Complaints Questionnaire and indicators of anxiety-depressive disorders (HADS scale) were taken into account, and the presence of suicidal ideation was determined - according to the suicidal ideation module of the Columbia Suicidal Severity Scale (C-SSRS). The distances (km) between the initial and final settlements of the respondents’ place of residence were calculated. RESULTS: A systemic direct statistically significant relationship was identified between the severity of psychosomatic disorders and the distance of migration movement of young people from the place of previous residence to the final point of residence. Four degrees of migration risk have been identified with zero (up to 20 km) and subsequent three (up to 400, up to 800 and over 800 km) territorial ranges of somatization risk. The control critical values of the migration risk indicator for the development of psychosomatic disorders for men and women were calculated, determining that the migration risk of somatization in young people occurs when the territorial distance of the place of residence from the place of previous residence is 400 km or more. CONCLUSION: The connections between the territorial remoteness of the initial and final settlements when changing place of residence, with the risk of developing psychosomatic disorders in a person under conditions of an intense educational process, are characterized.
