An international psychological congress was held

From July 21 to 26, 2024, the city of Prague (Czech Republic) hosted the 33rd International Congress of Psychology (ICP), which was to be held in Prague in 2020. The covid pandemic forced the organizers to postpone the offline congress for 4 years, but this year almost 4,000 active participants and scientists from different continents took part in about 50 scientific sections such as AI, Cyberpsychology & Robotics, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Communication and Media Psychology, Cross-Cultural Psychology, Psychological Counseling & Coaching, Sport Psychology, Psychological Testing and Assessment, etc.

From the Kharkiv National Medical University, the Dean of the 7th Faculty of Foreign Students, Oksana Vasylieva, presented 2 poster reports “Intersystem integration in the adaptation of foreign medical students to emotional stress” and “Present day features of maladjustment states in English medium students” in section “Psychology of education and upbringing”. This report aroused special interest among scientists from the countries where the vast majority of foreign students of KhNMU live – India, Pakistan, Nigeria, South Africa, etc.

During the congress, Oksana Vasylieva met with the management of the Czech Institute of Health Care Technologies and discussed the possibilities of using AI technologies – cognitive behavioral therapy programs in the electronic environment to improve the psychological state of domestic and foreign students with depression or panic disorder in the background of military operations in the Kharkiv region.
