Studying of psycholinguistic features of doctors' professional communication under war conditions.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: Studying of psycholinguistic features of doctors' communication competence in Ukraine under war conditions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: Bibliosemantic method; method of system analysis, comparison and generalization; empirical methods - direct observation of the doctors' and patients' living language, typology of empirical data according to socio-demographic indicators. RESULTS: Results: Within the study, 286 dialogues were collected. With voluntary consent, they were recorded in video and audio formats in compliance with ethical, bioethical, and legal norms. Next, initial typology of dialogues, their lexical and semantic analysis with identification of typical positive and negative communicative strategies were carried out. With the help of the ≪Textanz≫ specialized computer software, 48 dialogues were subjected to the content analysis procedure for two separate ≪Doctors≫ and ≪Patients≫ samples. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The results of the analysis of ≪Doctor-Patient≫ dialogues enabled identifying and describing psycholinguistic markers of typical physiological, mental, social, and spiritual states of individuals seeking medical help under martial law. Thus, the markers of positive emotional states (optimism, confidence, empathy, etc.) and affective, negative emotional processes (anxiety, fear, anger, aggression, sadness, depression, etc.) were identified.

Values of academic integrity in higher medical education.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: The aim is to identify features of theoretical and empirical research of academic integrity as characteristics of the educational environment of medical higher education institution (hereinafter - HEI). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: A complex of general scientific methods: logical-analytical, dialectical, theoretical-logical, comparative analysis, formalization and generalization, as well as quantitative sociological methods for collecting, processing and analyzing information. The object of the pilot empirical study were domestic medical students of full-time education at the Bogomolets NMU (N=472) and scientific and pedagogical staff who provide teaching of fundamental, specialized and socio-humanitarian disciplines at the university (N=153). RESULTS: Results: The values of academic integrity are the moral guideline that reveals the latest ethical demands of society and regulates the educational and scientific activities of all participants in the educational process. Opinions on the primary responsibility for compliance with the rules of academic integrity of a student differ between the surveyed scientific and pedagogical staff and students (p=0.000): the vast majority of the surveyed scientific and pedagogical staff tend to evenly divide the responsibility between a teacher and a student, and the majority of students-respondents noted that the student bears the primary responsibility. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Commitment to the principles of integrity motivates both students and teaching staff to act in an academic manner. Therefore, the creation of a methodology for studying the phenomenon of academic integrity in medical higher education institution through the study of attitude of the subjects of educational process to basic values is promising.

PHYSICAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS AND DIGITALIZATION OF HIGHER MEDICAL EDUCATION: RISK FACTORS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To study the dynamics of gadget use by higher education students of the Bogomolets National Medical University and to assess technological impact on the physical health of students. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To accomplish the tasks set using theoretical and experimental methods of scientific research: systematic analysis, comparison and generalization of the bibliosemantic method, questionnaires, and interviews with students. Quantitative data collected during the survey of students studying in the «Dentistry¼, «Pediatrics¼, «Medicine¼, «Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy¼, «Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy¼, and «Medical Psychology¼ specialties were processed using the MedCalc statistical software, and there was carried out comparative analysis afterwards. RESULTS: Results: During the quarantine and martial law, medical university students were forced to study distantly or in a mixed format using various gadgets and computers. It is obvious that the physical condition of a person is affected by the duration of their use of various devices. In this paper, therefore, the risks and the researched dynamics of gadget use by higher education students of the Bogomolets National Medical University were identified. Thus, the technological impact on the physical health of students was also defined. Moreover, the data based on the results of height and weigh calculation of higher education students, which used to diagnose types of obesity by anthropometric indicators, were also collected. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: According to the results of the research, it was established that the students of the Bogomolets National Medical University spent a significant part of their study time sitting in the classroom or at the computer (40 hours weekly average). We found that in the process of distance learning, prolonged sitting at a PC or other gadget (as well as general sedentary lifestyle) has affected the female higher education students majoring in 222 «Medicine¼ course their body mass index. The time spent using gadgets both in the educational and non-formal education (self-education) processes has increased significantly. We attribute this fact to the emergence of a significant number of online educational resources in the public domain, the growing number of webinars, trainings, and master classes conducted by both domestic and foreign experts online.

SIMULATION TRAINING AND VIRTUAL PATIENTS AS A COMPONENT OF CLASSROOM TRAINING OF FUTURE DOCTORS UNDER COVID-19 CONDITIONS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To present and substantiate the theoretical and applied aspects of the organization of simulation training for higher education applicants in the field of health care based on the analysis and generalization of the experience of the Bogomolets National Medical University. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To perform the set tasks, the following theoretical and empirical methods of scientific research were used: system analysis; comparison and generalization; bibliosemantic method; the analysis and simulation methods. RESULTS: Results: The experience of organizing simulation training for higher education students in the field of health care was analyzed and summarized. There have been investigated the functional capabilities of the most common "virtual patient" modeling systems for the formation of the practical component of the future doctors' professional competence. Finally, the features of the organization of the educational process at a medical university in classroom, mixed (classroom-distance) and synchronous (hybrid) forms of education during the period of quarantine restrictions have been described. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: A technology for conducting an objective structured practical (clinical) exam has been developed. It helps to standardize the procedure for checking the level formation of the clinical professional competence of a future doctor in accordance with the requirements the standard of higher medical education. It is shown that the use of simulation training and modeling systems "virtual patient" in the preparation of future healthcare professionals increases the effectiveness of training, the interest of students and interns, motivating them to develop the necessary components of the future doctor's professional competence.
