ABSTRACT
The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the response of the Institutes of health aimed at reducing the spread of the disease required an immediate change in the traditional approach to education, especially medical. Against the background of severe restrictions in the implementation of educational programs – normative, situational and managerial-universities have an acute question about the avail-able opportunities for mastering the competencies of the educational standard in a remote format. Forced emergency changes in approaches, forms, and methods of training allowed overcoming the crisis in the field of medical education. The article highlights the main trends in medical education formed during the crisis associated with the new coronavirus infection. The experience of organizing training in a pandemic in an educational organization is presented. The purpose of this work is to identify the main trends in the digitalization of medical education during the period of the threat of the spread of a new coronavirus infection. Methods of comparative analysis, description and subject modeling of indicators recorded in the electronic educational environment of the University for the period of 2020 were applied, as well as information from the Portal of continuing medical and pharmaceutical education was used. As a result, the main trends in the digitalization of medical education during the period of high alert on the example of COVID-19 were identified: the introduction of online education;personalization of medical education;transformation of working time and revision of process management practices at the university. The identified trends have led to the preservation of the quality of training for practical health care and have become a new starting point in the strategy for the development of medical education. © 2022, Science and Innovation Center Publishing House.

ABSTRACT
Introduction. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges to healthcare professionals. The most common manifestation of a new variant of coronavirus disease is pneumonia, and therefore, the doctor is faced with the question of the diagnostic value of certain indicators, as well as - the feasibility of prescribing antibacterial therapy. The purpose of the study. Was to assess the. importance of clinical, imaging, laboratory methods for diagnosing the condition of patients with covid-associated pneumonia, to determine the nuances of the possible appointment of antibacterial therapy. Current text. The main problem in the diagnosis of covid-associated pneumonia is the need to differentiate between viral lung disease and the development of secondary bacterial pneumonia. Viral pneumonia can be of varying severity, but does not require antibacterial therapy. At the same time, the accession of bacterial flora on the background of viral lung disease, requires the immediate appointment of antibacterial drugs. It should be noted that the available data to date indicate that the accession of bacterial infection to viral lung disease is confirmed in no more than 8-10% of patients, ie most patients with coronavirus do not require antibiotics [1,2,3]. At the same time, worldwide, antibiotics associated with pneumonia-associated pneumonia are unreasonably common and, according to some studies, the proportion of patients receiving antibacterial therapy ranges from 27% to 84% [1,4,5]. Conclusions. The problem of managing patients with covid-associated pneumonia is due to the fact that, to date, there is no specific criterion that would clearly distinguish viral lung disease from viral-bacterial. Traditionally, data from clinical, laboratory and instrumental research methods are used for the differential diagnosis of viral and bacterial pneumonia. A common approach to antibiotic treatment in many cases is not only unjustified, but also leads to a massive increase in antibiotic resistance with subsequent complications. In each case, the decision must be made individually, taking into account the full range of diagnostic and clinical aspects. © 2022 Zaporizhia Medical Academy of Post-Graduate Education Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the most common coping strategies in the population in quarantine settings.;PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study used the following set of methods: a general questionnaire aimed at studying socio-demographic data, living conditions during quarantine, lifestyle during quarantine, the presence of chronic diseases and psychodiagnostic methods: assessment of distress R.Kessler, assessment of the presence of manifestations of anxiety-depressive response GAD-7, depression self-assessment scale PHQ-9, stress-overcoming behavior strategies (E. Heim), as well as mathematical methods for processing the obtained data.;RESULTS: Results: Social and psychological characteristics of the examined were investigated, where coping strategies during the quarantine period play a role in the adaptation process and the state of the psychoemotional sphere. Non-adaptive cognitive coping was characterized by the presence of direct strong correlations with high levels of distress and high rates of anxiety and depression.;CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Quarantine restrictions are risk factors for mental health deterioration. In these settings, the interaction of stress factors with anti-stress protection components is important, among which coping strategies play a leading role.
