PERSONALITY SOCIALIZATION AS A FACTOR IN THE PREVENTION OF PSYCHOSOMATIC ILLNESSES IN HUMANS
Abstract
Relevance. The relevance of the topic lies in the necessity of implementing a comprehensive approach in healthcare and a scientific analysis of the impact of various factors on the overall health status of an individual. The level of education, access to medical services, economic status, and living conditions are closely intertwined with a person’s emotional resilience and the quality of their social connections, as well as their stress experience characteristics, which collectively influence physiological processes in the body, the immune system, and overall resistance to diseases. In this regard, the development of effective preventive and therapeutic strategies should be based on a multidisciplinary approach that considers various interrelated components, utilizing both traditional medical methods and innovative technologies, including psychological support and assistance as well as social programs. This will enable the creation of a more effective healthcare system focused on long-term positive outcomes and improvement of patients’ quality of life.
Methodology. The aim of the work is to investigate, through theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific data, the significance of personality socialization practices in the prevention of psychosomatic illnesses. According to the author, for prevention and effective treatment, it is necessary to consider the influence of the specifics of a person’s socialization process on their mental and physical health. The concept of “agency in structure” as a methodological basis of the study can combine sociological and medical perspectives on health in the understanding of how an individual, being in certain social conditions, can actively influence their health and well-being.
Results. As predictors of health, the article analyzes the connection between physical symptoms and interpersonal relationships, examines the impact of specific socialization practices on emotional resilience, professional fulfillment, and life satisfaction. Emphasis is placed on the promising nature of research into the effectiveness of digital technologies in supporting socialization and emotional well-being, as well as the importance of developing new models of therapeutic socialization that take into account modern socio-cultural changes.
