When the phone gets in the way of studying: it was told at Satbayev University how to recognize and overcome psychological addictions
As part of "Zan men tartip" initiative, a lecture on "Psychological addictions" topic was held at the university, which was conducted by the head of University’s Psychological service Aigerim Suleimenova. The meeting was devoted to the widespread addictions among young people, as well as comprehension formation that addressing a psychologist is an important step towards improving the emotional state.
– Today, many students are stuck on the Internet, they have stopped communicating with each other, – said Aigerim Suleimenova. – This distracts students from reality and becomes a serious problem. It happens that a student even goes as far as expulsion, and only then we realize that the problem root was not in their studies, but in one of their addictions. It is possible and necessary to work with such situations, and our task is to provide real tools for this.
During the lecture, the psychologist spoke about Internet addiction, ludomaniya and drug addiction, emphasizing that the given problems often cause difficulties in learning and communication. Lecture was the first step towards a comprehensive program aimed at early detection of addictions and providing timely psychological assistance to students. Program was developed by the psychological service with the participation of foreign specialists and includes interactive formats, trainings, exercises and individual consultations. Project is being planned to be executed with the ministry’s support in many universities of Kazakhstan.
