Introduction: Inadequate physical activity, eating disorders, irrational factors of the educational environment and a poor motivation for a healthy lifestyle are often observed among youngsters and act as their health risk factors. At the present stage, they hamper ensuring optimal living conditions and achieving better health of schoolchildren and require a new approach to solving the tasks. The objective of the study was to assess provision of sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing at schools and health of schoolchildren to substantiate priorities for management decision making. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in two comprehensive schools of the city of Penza and involved 2,672 children and 720 parents. We used sanitary, hygienic, physiological, sociological, and statistical methods of research. Results: The level of sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing in the experimental school with an up-to-date model of hygienic education and development of a healthy lifestyle integrated in the educational process where students have the opportunity to receive health-improving and rehabilitation medical care, was significantly higher than in the control one. Introduction of the new model of upbringing and functioning of the department for disease prevention and rehabilitation contributed to an increase in students’ motivation for a healthy lifestyle and skill consolidation in the behavior of youngsters as confirmed by a larger proportion of such students in the experimental school compared with the control one (75–89% against 50–74%, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Implementation of management decisions including the upgrade of the system of hygiene education, creation of a healthy lifestyle of students, and organization of the department for disease prevention and rehabilitation on the basis of the educational establishment had a positive effect on students’ health.

Introduction. Teacher’s health problems depend on many factors. However, research has focused on psychological stressors. The goal is to assess the factors of the school environment and determine the impact of seniority and the level of academic load on the health status of secondary school teachers. Material and methods. Assessment of working conditions of teachers was studied on hygienic characteristics and their research in 11 schools. There were studied conditions of the school environment (microclimate, lighting) and the timing of the teachers’ labor process. A clinical and psychological examination of 53 women with an average age of 50.0 (44.0-59.0) years, work experience - 27.0 (19.0-34.0), load - 25.0 (21.0-32.0) hours per week. According to the indices of harmfulness and danger of factors of the working environment, the severity and intensity of the labor process, the class of working conditions in only 25% of the examined corresponded to the permissible class. The frequency of increased irritability, hypertension, emotional exhaustion, reduced stress resistance is higher in the group of teachers with experience of 20 years or more. Discussion. Teachers of secondary general education are exposed not only to occupational stress, but also to the effects of the negative conditions of the school environment and the labor process. Conclusions. Targeted studies of the conditions of the school environment, factors of the educational process must be carried out to identify their impact on the health status of teachers.
