Diary method of studying the stress factors in adolescents in the educational process of the school

The article is devoted to the current problem of the growth of psychosomatic disorders in adolescents. The purpose of the article is to determine the socio-psychological stress factors that cause a psychosomatic symptom in adolescents in the educational process of school using the method of diary research. The authors present the results of a three-week experiment conducted with students in grades 9–10, as a result of which records were obtained about specific stressful situations with descriptions of emotions, physical sensations and psychosomatic symptoms. The analysis of the data obtained was carried out, during which the authors established the similarity between the described situations in some participants of the experiment, who were later grouped and displayed in a table. The article uses mathematical calculations to determine the percentage of schoolchildren who are faced with one or another stress factor. The study helped identify a number of problems, including those related to parents' ignorance and lack of knowledge in the field of children's mental health. The authors drew conclusions about the importance of continuing research in this direction in connection with the trend of growth of psychosomatic disorders in adolescents and proposed ideas for an optimal solution to the described problem.
