  A general analytical expression has been obtained in the diffraction
approximation for the polarization of nucleons arising in the deuteron
stripping reaction on nuclei at intermediate energies of the incident
particles. A tabulated density distribution of the target nucleus and a
realistic wave function of the deuteron with correct asymptotic limits at large
internucleon distances were used in the calculations. The nucleon-nucleus phase
shifts were calculated in the Glauber formalism using the double folding
potential. The calculated angular dependencies for the vector analyzing power
$A_{y}$ of the reaction $^{3}\text{He}(\vec{d},p)^{4}\text{He}$ are found to be
in satisfactory agreement with the corresponding experimental data.
