By the end of the five-year plan, you need to have approximately 60 thousand medical personnel, about 140 thousand nursing staff. And not only doctors and medical staff, not only who received medical education in general, but practical specialists in the field of medicine and health care. This led to a grandiose restructuring of the entire medical education, to the transfer of medical universities and medical schools to the health authorities with a close connection of the new curriculum with the production itself. In other places (see "On the front of health care", No. 4, 1930, "Soviet doctor", 1930 and "Medical business", 1930) I dwelt in detail on how this reform of medical education would affect the state improvement of doctors, and tried to show that the new installation of medical universities and the new huge tasks facing the health authorities in connection with the unprecedented growth of cultural needs of the masses not only does not diminish, but significantly increases the importance of institutions with the task of raising the qualifications of a Soviet doctor

In the course of her duties, the ward sister has to contend with many forms of conflict, discord and dissension. These involve conflict of the intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup varieties. Conflict is in the main, disruptive and dysfunctional. Skilful management, however, embodying cooperative effort in its reduction can produce constructive and positive results. Conflict management strategies are therefore either restrictive or constructive. Persons in serious conflict suffer varied degrees of personality disequilibrium, which necessitates emotional first aid or crisis intervention. Such primary preventive care is applicable to patients, their relatives, and members of the nursing staff in such need.
