Introduction. Vaccinations are the most important element in the prevention of infectious diseases. Parents’ decisions about vaccinations, including especially non-obligatory (recommended) ones, are influenced by the knowledge and opinions provided by medical personnel. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge of students of the medical university about vaccines for children, with special regard to recommended vaccinations. Material and methods. The study was conducted from January to April 2017 among 116 students of the Medical University of Warsaw. The research method used in the work was a diagnostic survey. The author’s questionnaire was used as a research tool. Results. Based on answers provided by the respondents, their attitude, knowledge and evaluation of information provided during university education on vaccination were analyzed with particular emphasis on vaccinations recommended for children. Classes conducted during studies and/or scientific literature according to respondents provide the most reliable knowledge about recommended vaccinations (59%). Respondents agreed that the knowledge provided in the course of vaccinations on recommended vaccinations is insufficient (85%) and this material should be broadened. The lack of providing the latest vaccination guidelines was statistically significantly more often declared in the direction of Nursing, while Midwifery students were the best-rated education group about vaccinations received during the course of studies and had the best knowledge about recommended vaccinations for children. Importantly, students declaring sufficient knowledge about vaccination and at the same time lack of trust in vaccination and reluctance to vaccinate their own children, answered incorrectly the questions regarding the recommended vaccinations. Conclusions. It is necessary to broaden education about vaccinations at medical studies so that medical doctors, nurses, and midwives can shape correct attitudes towards immunization in parents group. In the medical university course of education, particular attention should be paid to the need to update information in the field of vaccinology with the annual National Vaccination Programme and with the guidelines of National Consultants.

Abstract Introduction. To work safely, knowledge of law is crucial for midwives who should be familiar with the midwife’s rights and duties as well as their professional responsibility. Aim. Assessment of knowledge of midwives about their professional responsibility. Material and methods. A total of 103 MA Midwifery students of the Medical University of Warsaw, including 55 working and 48 not working as midwives. A diagnostic poll, original anonymous questionnaire, 25 close-ended questions, 8 openended questions. Statistical analysis: STATISTICA 10.0, Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.05. Results. Seventy-one percent of the study participants had knowledge of the binding provisions of law and 83% considered this kind of knowledge as necessary in their professional activity. Twenty-four percent of the total did not know any legal regulations. Thirty percent was not familiar with the Nurses and Midwives Act. Only 52% of the study participants were knowledgeable about the legal protection of midwives and indicated the protection established for public officers. Forty-six percent of the total said that the Act on Professional Self-Government of Nurses and Midwives of July 1st, 2011 regulates the issue of self-governance. As many as 30 study participants knew that membership in the self-governing body of midwives is obligatory. Conclusions. Knowledge of nurses about professional responsibility under amended provisions of law is insufficient and does not improve with experience as a midwife. Due to the fact that new acts on professional responsibility of midwives were implemented in Poland beginning in January 1st, 2012, it is advisable to extend qualifications and knowledge of midwives in order to improve their knowledge of professional issues. Midwives should constantly update their knowledge of legal regulations on their profession

E-learning is seen as a possible solution to the problem of modernization of the university education in response to the changing needs of the society. In undergraduate healthcare training, e-learning is implemented predominantly as blended learning in addition to the traditional classroom teaching. A major factor in the success of e-learning are learners’ attitudes, beliefs and concerns. The aim of the present study was to investigate undergraduate healthcare students’ attitude to e-learning at Medical University – Plovdiv. In this case, e-learning is considered to be electronic educational resources organized as an interactive e-learning unit or course, provided through a learning content management system. The survey was carried out in 2016 through a self-reported questionnaire among 270 first year students from ten healthcare specialties. Participants were asked to express a degree of agreement with nine statements on a five point Likert scale. The influence of gender, age, specialty and previous e-learning experience on the opinion of students was investigated. The results showed that students’ attitudes towards e-learning were positive, but learners were not enthusiastic about it. Genders have different views about e-learning implementation – women are more likely to accept it. The experience first year students had did not allow them to judge if e-learning supports better time-management or life-long learning skills. Students agreed that implementation of e-learning depends on the subjects and there are disciplines that can be provided as distant courses within the learning management system.

The results of studying the opinions of anesthetists-resuscitators on topical issues of the implementation of their professional activities are presented. A total of 450 doctors were interviewed in St. Petersburg and 450 doctors in other regions of the North-West Federal District. It was found that 68,8% of anesthetists-resuscitators received specialized training in anesthesiology-resuscitation immediately after graduating from a medical university and work by vocation. At the same time, their professional activity is associated with increased workload (about a third of specialists work with workloads of up to80-90 hours a week), including psycho-emotional work (57,4% of respondents experience constant stress, 45,6% have chronic diseases, resulting from professional activities). The main directions of optimizing the conditions of their activity, doctors call both financial (raising wages, equipping with modern medical equipment), and organizational measures (optimizing the balance of work and rest, reducing the load). 61% of doctors working in St. Petersburg would not want to change jobs, in other regions only 27,6% of respondents would not want to change anything, and 15,5% plan to change their medical specialty. Among the positive aspects of their work, doctors unanimously noted the factors of emotional comfort: the ability to help people, a good work team, and a convenient work schedule. Doctors consider tension and fatigue, wage mismatch with the workload, and lack of legal protection as negative sides. Given the high degree of commitment of resuscitation anesthetists to their profession, adaptation to difficult conditions, the main efforts should be directed to measures to attract and retain medical personnel, optimize the required volumes and forms of advanced training, introduce a system of psychological adaptation of specialists to working conditions, development of legal support measures for doctors.

Abstract Due to the development of global economy and increased geographical and occupational mobility, communication with people from multicultural backgrounds has become commonplace in many healthcare institutions. As the demographic profiles of both patients and medical personnel are increasingly varied, intercultural competence (IC) has become an integral component of English for Medical Purposes (EMP) training. However, are medical students generally familiar with the notion of intercultural competence? What intercultural aspects should they be aware of in order to practise effectively when they graduate? The aim of this article is to present medical students′ understanding of IC based on a survey conducted among undergraduate learners at the Medical University of Bialystok, Poland. The article begins with a discussion on intercultural competence in the context of health care. Following this, a discussion on why intercultural competence needs to be incorporated and used in Medical English programmes is presented.

Emotional Burnout

В статье описаны исследования синдрома эмоционального выгорания и тревожности педагогов и медицинских работников. Выборку исследования составили преподаватели Астраханского государственного медицинского университета в количестве 26 человек и средний медицинский персонал учреждения здравоохранения «Медико-санитарная часть» в количестве 23 человек (г. Астрахань). Были применены следующие психодиагностические методики: 1) методика диагностики уровня эмоционального выгорания. (В.В. Бойко); 2) методика «шкала тревожности» Ч.Б. Спилбергера (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) (в росс. адаптации Ю.Л. Ханина). Статический анализ данных осуществлялся с помощью U-критерия Манна-Уитни для независимых выборок, пакета прикладных программ Статистика 10.0. В ходе исследования установлено, что педагоги в значительной степени тревожны, чем медицинские работники. Выявлено, что у педагогов сформирован синдром эмоционального выгорания, у среднего медицинского персонала диагностирована вторая стадия эмоционального выгорания (фаза резистентности). Были зафиксированы следующие доминирующие симптомы в фазе «истощение» у педагогов: «симптом эмоционального дефицита» и «симптом эмоциональной отстраненности». Доминирующими симптомами эмоционального выгорания у медицинских работников были: «неадекватное выборочное эмоциональное реагирование» и «расширение сферы экономии эмоций». Полученные данные могут быть использованы психологами, работающие в системах здравоохранения и образования при составлении программ психологического сопровождения в целях улучшения психологического здоровья педагогов и медицинского персонала. The article describes the studies of the syndrome of emotional burnout and anxiety of teachers and medical workers. The sample of the study consisted of 26 teachers of the Astrakhan State Medical University and 23 nursing staff of the “Medical-Sanitary Unit” health care institution (Astrakhan). The following psychodiagnostic techniques were used: 1) a technique for diagnosing the level of emotional burnout. (V.V. Boyko); 2) methodology "scale of anxiety" Ch.B. Spielberger (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) (in Russian adaptation by Yu.L. Khanin). Static data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test for independent samples, the Statistics 10.0 application package. The study found that educators are significantly more anxious than healthcare professionals. It was revealed that the teachers developed a syndrome of emotional burnout, the second stage of emotional burnout (the phase of resistance) was diagnosed for nurses. The following dominant symptoms were recorded in the "exhaustion" phase among teachers: "a symptom of emotional deficiency" and "a symptom of emotional detachment". The dominant symptoms of burnout in health care workers were: "inadequate selective emotional response" and "expansion of the sphere of saving emotions." The data obtained can be used by psychologists working in the health care and education systems when drawing up psychological support programs in order to improve the psychological health of teachers and medical personnel

This study analyzes to which extent the distribution of consumption is affected by the relative wage movement among birth cohorts and education groups. Our empirical design is based on a synthetic panel constructed using repeated cross-sectional data from “Household Integrated Economic Survey of Pakistan.” We limit our analysis to persons aged between 26 to 50 years at the time of survey. To see the evolution of change in income and consumption we measured growth by taking 6, 8- and 10-years’ difference respectively. The findings ascertained there is limited risk-sharing across cohort-education groups in Pakistan, but the measured extent of risk-sharing increases over longer horizons. Furthermore, we observe relatively higher consumption smoothing among the less educated people over the period of ten years. In the university education group, results reveal less consumption smoothing in the shorter, six- and eight-year time periods.  The study concludes that the relative risk-sharing over a decade is better in Pakistan than the shorter growth horizon.

Care Of The Dying

Abstract Introduction. Well-implemented, holistic care of the dying patient requires appropriate qualifications from the medical personnel. Aim. The aim of the study was to collect the opinions of nursing and medical students before the end of their professional education on their preparation to provide care to the dying patient. Material and methods. The survey was carried out in a group of 213 medical and nursing students during their final year of professional education. Results. Students were unable to clearly express their opinion on their preparation to provide care to patients at the end of their lives (87; 40.8%). Nursing students were more likely to perceive themselves as prepared for such care – 30 (26.7%) than medical students – 11 (10.9%). Statistically significant correlation was observed. A large group of the students (92; 43.2%) had never been present at the scene of a patient’s death during clinical classes. The majority of the respondents chose ‘definitely not’ (59; 27.7%) and ‘rather not’ (53; 24.9%) answers when asked if their university education had prepared them for work with patients at the end of their lives. Students considered their knowledge to be lacking mostly in areas such as coping with their own emotions in the face of a patient’s death (137; 64.3%); communicating with a dying person (119; 55.9%); providing care to the patient’s family (154; 72.3%); cooperating with the patient’s family (125; 58.7%). Conclusions. Students of both majors are not certain about the level of their preparation to provide care to people at the end of their lives, nor about the extent to which their university education had introduced them to the specificity of care of a dying patient. The medical students were observed to exhibit higher statistical significance as compared to the nursing students. The university curriculum prepared the students to take care of the dying patient’s biological sphere, but did not prepare them to assume a holistic approach to care of the patient and his family.

The Relationship

Abstract Introduction. The profession of a nurse should be practised along with the standards of the most recent medical knowledge and law. Aim. The authors aimed at assessing the relationship between nurse’s education and their knowledge of the legal regulations, taking into account nurses’ performance at work. Material and methods. A total of 91 nurses were included in the study group. The mean age of the nurses was 34 years (min. 22, max. 63). Group 1: 32 nurses with medium-level education, group 2: 59 nurses with higher-level education. The study tool was a voluntary and anonymous survey questionnaire the authors’ own design, consisting 36 questions. The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using STATISTICA 10.0 (Medical University of Warsaw licence), nonparametric U Mann-Whitney Test α<0.05). Results. 69 nurses declared they knew the legal acts regulating their profession, Group 2 members were significantly more likely to know them (p<0.007). Nurses with higher education were statistically more likely to be aware of the independent character of the profession they practised (p<0.002). Most nurses were aware of their right to refuse a doctor’s order in case it is noncompliant with their conscience (p=NS). Conclusions. Even though the respondents had relatively good knowledge of legal regulations concerning their profession, it needs to be complemented, for instance through postgraduate education. In the study group, education affected the level of knowledge of nurses. Particular attention should therefore be given to the provision of complementary knowledge of the principles of practising the profession of a nurse to the group of nurses with medium-level education.
