Abstract

In order to study the influence of coping mechanisms on the level of anxiety and stress in students of higher medicaleducation under martial law, 314 students of the Dnipro State Medical University were interviewed. The median level of anxietywas found to be 7 (4;11) points, with a noticeable difference between men and women. The median level of stress severity was 5(4;7) points, with a significant difference between men and women. Adaptive cognitive strategies were the most prevalent (45.5 %)in the sample, while adaptive, relatively adaptive, and non-adaptive strategies were found in comparable frequency (27.1 % and27.4 %, respectively). It has been determined that implementing adaptive emotional strategies decreases the likelihood ofexperiencing significant levels of anxiety while employing maladaptive emotional strategies increases the risk by 2.79 times. Theutilization of other coping mechanisms does not appear to have a significant impact on the chances of developing severe anxiety.
