This article provides an analysis of innovative empirical and theoretical data on the mental stability of medical workers. Theoretical approaches to the study of psychological components that help overcome negative stressful situations are analyzed. Various models of mental stability and the methods used to measure mental stability in medical personnel are given. The analysis of the relationship of mental stability with other psychological components, such as psychological well-being, personality traits, his individual cognitive abilities, relationships with colleagues and patients, is provided. The problems of the formation of mental stability are considered on the example of medical workers.

The relevance of the problem under research is related to the study of the conditions for the development of confident behavior among students of psychological and pedagogical specialties. Analysis of literature defines confidence as a multidimensional characteristic, which is determined by the reciprocity and interdependence of all components. The aim of the study is to determine the factors of developing confident behavior among students – future teachers, psychologists, to evaluate the effectiveness of the model of confident behavior formation in a group of students. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work was built on the key principles and provisions formulated by leading domestic and foreign scientists in a systemic, activity-based approach. Research methods: theoretical (study and analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of research; analysis, generalization and systematization of information); empirical (testing); methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis. In total, 128 students of TSPU who studied in the area of training 44.03.02 “Psychological and pedagogical education” took part in the study. The following methods were used to diagnose the components of confident behavior of students: "Self–confidence test" by Romek V.G., "Scale of personal and situational anxiety" by Ch.D. Spielberg – Y.L. Khanin, "Questionnaire of social anxiety and social phobia" by Sagalakova O.A. and Truevtsev D.V., "Method of determining self-esteem" by Dembo-Rubinstein T.V., "Kettell's Standard multifactorial personality questionnaire 16PF" form A/V Raymond Kettell (adaptation by V. I. Pokhilko, A.S. Soloveitchik, A.G. Shmelev). The model of developing confident behavior in preservice teachers and psychologists is based on the ideas of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy as an approach that works most effectively with behavior. After the implementation of the formative stage, positive dynamics was noted in the sample for each component presented in the model, which allows us to conclude that the model has shown its effectiveness. Theoretical significance – scientific ideas about the development of confident behavior among students have been clarified, supplemented and systematized; the specific features of developing confident behavior in future teachers and psychologists are identified and described. Practical significance – the proposed model for the development of confident behavior among students – future teachers, psychologists can be used by curators of academic groups responsible for internship and employment of university graduates.
