Psychoemotional stress that develops in dynamics of studying in university is a common factor of development of the vast group of neurogenic diseases. The objective of the research was to study the intersystem relations (integration) which are the base of development of organism's resistance to the effects of stress factors, i.e. the development of adaptive syndrome. The object of the research was a group of 256 medical students of 1–3 years which were examined in conditions of educational process. The peculiarities of intersystem integration of cardiorespiratory system based on coupling index (CI), and integrational brain activity based on intellectual workability in conditions of correction test (2 minutes of test, total percentage of completed work, number of mistakes) were studied. The research of complex of psychophysiological indicators in the dynamics of studying revealed the formation of chronic emotional stress in medical students, the severity of which depends on the individual characteristics of the psychophysiological status of students. Formation of adaptation to the educational stress has the stage character (3stages) – the initial period is accompanied by activation of non‐specific adaptive mechanisms in almost all students (1 st stage). From the 2nd year, only in 40% of the students an adequate adaptation to the training load was formed – intellectual performance increases, with the background of rationalization of its vegetative support. Sustainable intersystem relationship that reveals increasing the body's integrity (2 nd stage) is formed. In second group of students (43%) non‐specific adaptive mechanisms (1 st stage) on the 2nd year of study goes into a stage of specific adaptation (2 nd stage), but the severity of changes in psychophysiological indexes is strongly pronounced. On the 3rd year of study it leads to the depletion of adaptive capabilities (3 rd stage). In 17% of students it was seen that the stage of activation of non‐specific adaptive mechanisms rapidly changed by their depletion, that is accompanied by decrease of intersystem integration and intellectual workability. This is the evidence of prevalence of disintegrational processes in the organism. Based on results of the research, a conclusion can be made that the formation of adaptive optimum to psychoemotional stress occurs only in 40% of students. The majority (60%) of students show either the initially insufficient adaptive capabilities, or their excessive intensity, that naturally leads to psychological and vegetative disorders in the organism.
