Prevention of mental health disorders among foreign medical students and psychological and psychiatric care: modern approaches

Keywords: international medical students, prevention, psychological and psychiatric care, mental health, modern approaches

Young people studying at universities face mental health problems more often than their peers from the general population and the general population. Among them, medical students and international students are the most vulnerable categories of students. They do not use mental health services enough for various reasons. Beyond that, the methods of assistance tested on domestic students do not always prove to be effective for foreign students due to the influence of a number of factors, including cultural ones. The presented review is devoted to the analysis of scientific literature on the topic of modern approaches to psychological and psychiatric care and prevention of mental health disorders among international medical students. A lot of research has been conducted concerning the state of mental health of medical students and helping them, a small part of the work touches upon the issues of assistance to foreign students, and literally a few publications examine the specifics of prevention and psychological and psychiatric care for foreign medical students. It was found that there are a number of barriers when applying for professional help from foreign medical students: stigmatization, lack of awareness about the opportunities to receive help, fear of the impact on the educational process, financial and linguistic difficulties, and others. To remedy the situation, it is important to work to reduce the level of stigmatization of the sphere related to the mental health, increase literacy in this area among students, expand access to help, build psychological and psychiatric interventions based on taking the main barriers into consideration. For effective psychological and psychiatric care, it is important to expand the work of university counseling centers, involve teachers and other students to identify violations and monitor their dynamics, and use online interventions more actively. It is necessary to build work on the principles of confidentiality and taking into account the individual characteristics of students, including cultural differences. Further research on this topic is needed to improve the quality of student care
