Bull's Eye

The lack of a sufficient amount of anatomical material in Ukrainian medical universities has led to the fact that medical students have to work with the bodies of long-dead people whose condition is of a low educational value. Therefore, animal organs are becoming increasingly important in teaching anatomical disciplines. For example, when studying the eyeball at the department of human anatomy, a bull's eye is used; organs of pigs and rats (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, heart, etc.) are used for the purpose of comparative anatomy. Working with the heart of animals, students can learn to suture wounds of the heart using various surgical techniques, perform mitral commissurotomy. To put various types of liver sutures and to perform on liver resection at practical classes, pork or beef liver can be successfully used. Isolated stomach and intestines are indispensable for developing skills of surgical interventions on the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract. When studying a human skeleton, it is very helpful to use mock-ups that were obtained using a 3D printer that arouses the interest of students and increases the effectiveness of practical training. In the absence of anatomical material, medical students use the latest computer technology that allows them to study the human body in three dimensions. However, technical means make it possible to obtain only visual information, ignoring the volumetric and spatial characteristics of the objects under study that is their considerable drawback.

This was a qualitative and descriptive study that aimed to determine how patients understand instructions provided by a multidisciplinary team during perioperative periods of bariatric surgery. Data were collected through three individual interviews. Six patients admitted to a surgical unit of a university hospital in southern Brazil, in April and May 2012, participated in the study. Thematic analysis revealed three categories: communication in the perioperative period of bariatric surgery; quality of life and post- surgical care following bariatric surgery; and communication in the work process of the multidisciplinary team. The results showed satisfaction with the information received, but problems in the communication process and apprehension about life after surgery were highlighted. Furthermore, the absence of outpatient nursing care was demonstrated.

The Moment

Background: The moment of hospital discharge is a time for vulnerability for many patients and might jeopardize their safety. We found that the current structure of the discharge card at Soba University Hospital (SUH) does not improve the quality of the discharge summary. This hinders the delivery of valid, relevant and adequate health information and can negatively affect outpatient care.   Methods: We implemented a new discharge card design with structured headings at the Department of Medicine at Soba University Hospital from the beginning of March to April 15th, 2017.  This was coupled with educational sessions highlighting the problems that might occur if there were gaps in patient transition from inpatient to outpatient. Results: There was a significant improvement in documentation of the majority (>90%) of the items, including name, age, source of admission treating doctor, diagnosis and medication, but there was a drop in documentation of comorbidities. We also noticed that the new discharge summary format significantly improved the documentation of the majority of the headings (all P values were <0.001), yet, there was a drop in documentation of comorbidities and dates for follow up. Conclusions: Recording of paper-based health records like discharge summaries could be substantially improved by use of well-structured formats and practical training sessions. Improvement is a dynamic process. Some gaps might appear during execution, these need monitoring and continuous improvement to establish sustainability.

The article discusses possible forms of educational STEM projects in the field of electronics and device control using Arduino controllers. As you know, the implementation of such STEM projects can be carried out not only using various electronic constructors, but also using virtual modeling environments. The knowledge obtained during modeling in virtual environments makes it possible to increase the efficiency of face-to-face practical training with a real constructor, and to improve the quality of students’ knowledge. The use of virtual modeling environments in combination with the use of real constructors provides links between distance and full-time learning. A real constructors can be used simultaneously by both the teacher and the student, jointly practicing the features of solving practical problems. The article provides examples of using a virtual environment for preliminary prototyping of circuits available in the documentation for electronic constructors, to familiarize students with the basics of designing and assembling electronic circuits using the surface mounting method and on a breadboard, as well as programming controllers on the Arduino platform that control electronic devices. This approach allows students to accelerate the assimilation of various interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of natural sciences using STEM design.

Effective Transfer

Achieving the desired high quality of student education is a major goal and task of the higher medical schools. Training is a very factual process involving not only learning and material facilities, but also teaching staff and motivated students. The main objective in the preparation of healthcare students is the quality practical training that modern higher education has to provide. No less important is the student's opinion on the methods and tools used in their training. For this reason, the younger generation sets its requirements in its formation as a medical specialist. The modern lecturer must skillfully pass on knowledge so that a transfer of competences from theory to practice can be successfully accomplished. The purpose: Establish the students' opinion on the quality of the learning process, allowing an effective transfer of competences from theory to practice. Materials and Methods: The analyzes in this report are from an anonymous questionnaire conducted among 145 students from the Thracian University from the professional field "Health Care" - first, second and third courses specialty "Rehabilitator therapist", "Medical Laboratory assistant", "Geriatric Care" and " Nursing "during the summer semester of the school year 2017/18. MSExcel and StatGrafics were used to process the data. Results and Discussion: To achieve effective training, it is imperative for lectures to maintain a high level of competence and constantly get acquainted with developments in medical science. Students highly appreciate as the most important qualities of the teacher's ability to maintain the interest of students "; "Attitude towards students" and its "competence". A significant percentage of those surveyed believe that the theory, in theory, finds real application in practice. A significant percentage of those surveyed believe that the theory, to practice, finds real application in practice. The transfer of knowledge from theory to practice is a two-way information process between lecturers and students of scientific knowledge and practical skills. Finally, we can point out that the transfer of competence from theory to practice is a process influenced by a number of factors such as: the professional competencies of the academic lecturer and the clinical tutor; better collaboration between the higher medical school and the clinical base; organization of training. Maintaining the interest of the students in acquiring the medical profession is an important prerequisite for their subsequent successful realization.
