The article is devoted to the study of the reasons for volunteering among students of a medical university during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the definition of some of its psychological aspects. This topic is currently very relevant, since now a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection continues in the world. Given the widespread shortage of medical personnel, volunteer assistance is becoming an extremely important aspect in the comprehensive process of providing comprehensive care to covid patients. Medical students in their volunteering activities most often find their «place» either in hospitals or in call centers. The objects of a 2-stage study, conducted in May – June 2020 and in December – January 2021, were 150 medical students, divided by 50 people into 3 groups, depending on the course of students (1–2, 3–4, 5–6). The main reasons that prompted medical students to volunteer were studied, as well as their changes in dynamics, from the «first wave» to the «second wave» of Covid-19. It was found that most of the future doctors were eager to help people and participate in the general fight against the new coronavirus infection. The next part of the study was to determine, using the Spielberg method, the levels of anxiety among students during the «first and second» waves. A certain dynamics of various levels of anxiety was revealed, which may indicate a kind of psychological adaptation. This work is of certain interest, both for practicing psychologists and for teachers of higher education.

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.

The article presents the results of a survey of senior medical students aimed at identifying the problems of distance learning in terms of the formation of practical skills and communicative competence. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that at the present time the world is undergoing major changes not only in the field of health, but also in education. One of the primary tasks of higher education is the formation of professional competencies of future specialists. Communicative competence refers to the basic component in the medical profession, so its formation is given great importance in the process of teaching students. However, due to the fact that there was a difficult situation in the country and the world, students began to be transferred to distance learning, which could not but affect the formation of communicative competence and the development of practical skills by students. A huge number of students switched to distance learning, including a number of disciplines were taught online, including students of the medical University. However, this has led to difficulties in the formation of communicative and practice-oriented competencies among senior medical students. In connection with the above, the aim of the study was a comprehensive assessment of the problems in the formation of communicative and practice-oriented competencies of senior medical students in distance learning. Based on the obtained data the proposed methods for the solution of identified problems with the use of distance learning.

Abstract Background: Today, schizophrenia remains stigmatized all over the world, and for patients with schizophrenia, the experience of stigma makes improving their lives difficult. Changing of attitudes toward schizophrenia is an important theme not only for medical professionals but also medical students. We therefore invested investigate negative attitudes toward schizophrenia among psychiatric staff, psychiatrists, physicians, medical students, and non-medical workers. Methods: Participants in this study included 490 medical students, 25 psychiatric staff, 13 psychiatrists, 48 physicians, and 222 non-medical workers in Fukushima Medical University, in Japan. We conducted an internet-based questionnaire survey, using a web-based survey tool. We used an 18-item questionnaire on attitudes toward schizophrenia that comprised three factors: stigma, underestimation of patients’ abilities, and skepticism regarding treatment. To compare the scores for each of these factors among the five participant groups, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to adjust for age and sex. Results: Psychiatrists’ “stigma” and “underestimation of patients’ abilities” scores were significantly lower than those of non-medical workers, physicians, and medical students. The “skepticism regarding treatment” scores were not significantly different among the five groups. For medical students, hoping to become a psychiatrist in the future had the great impact on improving attitudes toward schizophrenia. Conclusion: Medical students had more negative attitudes toward schizophrenia than psychiatrists, but equally negative attitudes compared with physicians and non-medical workers.

The article is devoted to the study of some aspects of teaching students with health limitations and disabilities in a medical university. Currently, in Russia and around the world, inclusive and integrated education continues to develop, elements of which can be found in medical universities. At the same time, a complete transition to an inclusive education of medical students is impossible for a number of reasons, at the head of which are certain requirements for the future physician, who must have a certain amount of health, not only physical, but also mental. Unfortunately, not enough research is devoted to the aspects of teaching students with health limitations and disabilities in medical universities – the study of which became the purpose of the presented work. The objects of the research conducted from 2018 to 2021 at the N.N. Burdenko, 30 medical students served, divided in-to 3 groups of 10 people, depending on the etiology of their pathology. So, 1st group consisted of students with insignificant disabilities. The 2nd group included students with disabilities established from their birth or childhood. The 3rd group consisted of future physicians whose disability was established during their studies at a university (often as a result of an accident). In the work, the sex and age composition of the subjects was determined, the ratio of students to existing faculties was studied, the pathology most often encountered in persons with disabilities and disabilities was studied, the attitude of others to the respondents was deter-mined, as well as their own opinion regarding various aspects of the educational process at a medical university. The work is of interest for the staff of the departments of a medical university who are related to working with students with health limitations or disabilities.

Coronavirus Infection

Since 2019 all countries of the world have faced the rapid spread of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus infection, the fight against which continues to the present day by the world community. Despite the obvious effectiveness of personal respiratory protection equipment against coronavirus infection, many people neglect the use of protective face masks in public places. Therefore, to control and timely identify violators of public health regulations, it is necessary to apply modern information technologies that will detect protective masks on people's faces using video and audio information. The article presents an analytical review of existing and developing intelligent information technologies for bimodal analysis of the voice and facial characteristics of a masked person. There are many studies on the topic of detecting masks from video images, and a significant number of cases containing images of faces both in and without masks obtained by various methods can also be found in the public access. Research and development aimed at detecting personal respiratory protection equipment by the acoustic characteristics of human speech is still quite small, since this direction began to develop only during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus infection. Existing systems allow to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection by recognizing the presence/absence of masks on the face, and these systems also help in remote diagnosis of COVID-19 by detecting the first symptoms of a viral infection by acoustic characteristics. However, to date, there is a number of unresolved problems in the field of automatic diagnosis of COVID-19 and the presence/absence of masks on people's faces. First of all, this is the low accuracy of detecting masks and coronavirus infection, which does not allow for performing automatic diagnosis without the presence of experts (medical personnel). Many systems are not able to operate in real time, which makes it impossible to control and monitor the wearing of protective masks in public places. Also, most of the existing systems cannot be built into a smartphone, so that users be able to diagnose the presence of coronavirus infection anywhere. Another major problem is the collection of data from patients infected with COVID-19, as many people do not agree to distribute confidential information.

Emotional Burnout Syndrome

The article is devoted to the study of emotional burnout syndrome in students of medical higher educational institutions at different stages of training. The study was based on the assumption that medical students at different stages of professional training have differences in the emotional and personal sphere, in the level of sociopsychological adaptation and in the level of empathy. The aim of the study was to study the psychological aspects of burnout syndrome in medical university students at different stages of vocational training. To achieve this goal, methods were used to study emotional and personal characteristics and socio-psychological adaptation. The study revealed differences in the emotional and personal sphere and in the level of sociopsychological adaptation. Also, there are targets of influence for psychocorrective and psychoeducational work with students, namely non-adaptive adaptation strategies, ways to overcome stress and a negative assessment of prospects. And for the prevention of burnout syndrome, it is advisable to use the Stress Management program, which is aimed at teaching and training ways to effectively get out of difficult stressful situations and preserve the resource state, goal-setting skills and proactive thinking, as well as the study of various relaxation techniques.

The adaptability of personality of medical university students studying at different courses is investigated. Various approaches to the definition of the concept of personality adaptability are analysed, methods of its diagnosis are considered, the structure of the personal adaptability of medical students of all training courses is revealed. As a result of an empirical study it was revealed that the greatest deficiency in the structure of personality adaptability, characterized by a socio-oriented orientation, prevails in the first, second and fourth years. The adaptability of the personality of third-year students is in the zone of average values. Students of the fifth and sixth years of a medical university have the most harmoniously developed adaptability with the predominant characteristics of an autonomously oriented personality.
