Abstract

THE IMPACT OF SELF-AWARENESS ON THE MEDICAL HEALTH OF YOUNG PEOPLE Shoraximova Arofat Tuxtamuratovna Tashkent State Medical University, Assistant of the Department of "Advanced Training of Medical Staff" E-mail: arofatgold1983@gmail.com https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19064963 Abstract: The present article investigates the impact of self-awareness on the medical health of young people. In contemporary psychology and medicine, self-awareness has emerged as a critical personal factor influencing health outcomes, preventive behaviors, mental well-being, and lifestyle choices among adolescents and young adults. Drawing on theoretical foundations from Uzbek, CIS, and international research conducted between 2010 and 2025, this article synthesizes empirical findings and conceptual models that explain the pathways linking self-awareness to physical and psychological health. Considering self-awareness as a multidimensional construct, including emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components, the article reviews research evidence on how higher self-awareness predicts better self-care, healthier habits, lower risk behaviors, enhanced stress management, and higher compliance with medical recommendations. Methodologically, this theoretical study employs a systematic literature analysis of key scientific contributions in psychology, medicine, and health sciences. Results demonstrate that self-aware young people maintain healthier lifestyles, show resilience to stress, and exhibit lower incidence of maladaptive behaviors. Analysis indicates that self-awareness functions as a protective factor against risky behaviors, and the discussion addresses implications for clinical practice, preventive health interventions, and educational programming. The article concludes with recommendations for integrated health promotion policies that foster self-awareness among youth. Keywords: self-awareness, medical health, young people, adolescent psychology, health behavior, preventive health, CIS psychology, health outcomes
