Abstract

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the psychological and psychosomatic health of modern schoolchildren in the context of the digital transformation of society. The study was conducted on a representative sample of 880 students aged 10 to 16 from the cities of Nalchik, Vladikavkaz, and Stavropol. The relevance of the study is due to the growing problem of the impact of digital technologies on children's health. In the course of the work, significant deviations in the psychological state of schoolchildren were identified: increased anxiety was observed in 42% of the surveyed, attention disorders affected 37% of students, and indicators of autonomic dysfunction were detected in 45% of the study participants. The research methodology combined psychological and pedagogical diagnostics with medical examinations, including assessment of physiological parameters, laboratory tests, and hormonal background analysis. A direct correlation has been established between the time spent using digital devices and the deterioration of health indicators. The results showed that if you exceed 4 hours of screen time per day, blood pressure levels significantly worsen, concentration decreases, and stress hormones increase. A high prevalence of social adjustment disorders was revealed, affecting 45% of the surveyed schoolchildren. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the data obtained to develop preventive programs and recommendations for the rational use of digital technologies in the educational environment‎.
