On April 19, 2024, the teacher of the Department of Propaedeutics of Children’s Diseases, Tugelbayeva Aigul Mauletbayevna, held a curatorial hour on the topic “Conversation about preparing the group for the summer session” with students of group 431 of the specialty “General medicine”. On May 21, forth-year students begin their summer session. It’s always a test. Preparing for an exam is associated with great stress on the body: intense mental activity, increased static load due to prolonged forced posture, extreme limitation of motor activity, disruption of rest and sleep patterns, and emotional experiences.

The purpose of this supervisory hour is to reduce stress during the examination period among students through awareness of their behavior and expansion of their behavioral repertoire.

After discussing this topic, students were given information about tips and tricks for preventing exam stress.
