Background: Smoking is a common habit among the population in Kosovo. In the country, smoking occurs in public places, health and educational institutions despite being prohibited by law. Our objective was to describe smoking habits, knowledge and attitudes among medical students from all departments in the University of Prishtina, Faculty of Medicine. Methods: The present study followed the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) standardized methodology including data processing procedures. A self-administered questionnaire used was derived from the GHPSS. A total of 600 students were invited in the study while 470 returned questionnaires and participated in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data. The Fisher’s exact test was used to test the significance and a p-value<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence rate of smoking among students was 16.9% (95% CI 13.2-20). Current smokers were 79 students, 28.2 % males, and 7.7 % females. The study showed that 55.5% of students smoke less than a pack of cigarettes per day. Almost half of them (47.6%) who smoke reported to have a smoker inside the family.  This study also revealed that 74.7% of respondents smoke in the presence of non-smokers on daily bases. Conclusion: Despite threating their own health, smokers also cause noxiousness to the society and medical students should be role models for the others by not smoking. Even though the percentage doesn’t show a high rate of smokers in Medical University of Prishtina, still we need to pay attention to bad smoking habits and try to lower even more the percentage of smokers.

Ukraine lists 80470 foreign students who are enrolled into university studies. Ternopil National Medical University (TNMU) includes 2414 foreign students who are enrolled in university studies with the biggest majority of Indian students.

The amount of students that proved PCR-confirmed COVID-19 infection since the start of the pandemic equaled 7.17% (n=46). An evident contact with COVID-19 case prior to the personal disease appearance was proved by only 11.85 % of students (n=76). PCR-confirmed ca­ses in families of TNMU foreign medical students equaled 14.35% (n=92).  Conclusions. General incidence of COVID-19 among foreign students of TNMU is low. It is influenced by multiple factors including healthy lifestyle, small amount of smokers, and absence of chronic respiratory problems, current lockdown measures, good physical and mental health status.

The article deals with bioethics’ problems in medical students’ training through the prism of the philosophy of education, which was formed in the middle of the XX century when the humanitarian-anthropological turn in philosophy was formed. The term “bioethics “was first used in 1970 by W.R. Potter, who proposed the concept of “bioethics” to refer to a complex interdisciplinary knowledge, the goal of which is the survival of humankind. As an independent discipline, bioethics is taught in the first years of the medical university. It is this course of bioethics in medical universities that can be called “propaedeutics of bioethics.” This is due to the fact theoretical bioethics to be studied in the context of philosophy, when the student is given the opportunity to adequately interpret philosophical abstractions in bioethics, and applied, often very acute and complex problems of bioethics are studied in the senior courses of the university and in the system of postgraduate education, when future doctors master medical bioethics in the courses of resuscitation, transplantology, medical genetics, psychiatry, etc. The professional knowledge and culture of the doctor were shown to be not identical to his humanism. In this regard, the need for the integration of humanitarian and clinical disciplines in Russian higher medical schools is emphasized. At the same time, numerous concepts and principles of bioethics serve as universal mechanisms for “fitting” modern man and his life world into the totality of life, which allows us to speak of bioethics as universal ethics.
