The problem of adaptation in particular is very relevant for first year students. It is a prerequisite for a student's success that he or she learns new things about studying in higher education.

During the first year of study, first-year students join the student body, develop skills and abilities for rational organisation of mental activity, realise their vocation for their chosen profession, develop an optimal regime of work, leisure and everyday life, develop and nurture professionally significant personal qualities.

Adaptation, as a person's adaptation to the changing conditions of existence, represents a pivotal point in his or her life. The main reason for this is that the person's adaptation to the changing conditions of existence represents a node in his or her life. Disadaptation manifests itself in feelings of internal discomfort, tension, anxiety, a reduced sense of self-worth and self-confidence, which blocks the person's ability to interact successfully with the environment and can lead to mental health problems.
