The formation of a powerful, active, and dynamic axiological foundation of personality is one of the essential tasks of the competency approach because even a high level of knowledge and skills acquired in the process of learning and education cannot ensure the integrity and progressively oriented unity of personal and professional competencies for future successful life, socio-cultural and professional self-realization. Given this, within the competence paradigm of education, qualitatively new content is the unity of learning and education. If before a significant amount of theoretical knowledge, detached from real life, had a shallow educational potential, now any pedagogical action, even focused on the cognitive assimilation of basic scientific knowledge, will have a worldview. An essential characteristic of the competency approach in education is that it can ensure each student’s unique structure the unity of knowledge, competencies, and values.

Background: Identifying and managing patients with psychological distress is a challenge to nurses at emergency departments at hospitals not specialized in psychiatric mental health. This requires that nurses must be equipped with knowledge and skills to fulfill patients’ needs. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the knowledge and skills of nurses to manage patients with psychological distress in emergency departments. Methods: A convenience sample of 307 registered nurses working at emergency departments completed and returned a package of surveys regarding knowledge and skills to manage patients with psychological distress in emergency departments. Results: Although nurses were found to have a high level of knowledge about managing psychological distress, their level of skills was lower. Nurses were found to encounter difficulty in identifying signs and symptoms of patients with psychological distress at emergency departments. A significant and positive correlation was found between nurses’ knowledge and skills (r =.68, p < .001). Statistical and significant differences were found in the knowledge of nursesin relation to their previous experience of receiving training and courses in managing psychological distress (p < .05). Conclusion: Nurses need to improve the level of knowledge in order toidentify the psychological and physical signs and symptoms of psychological distress, as well as to be equipped with skills that make them capable tof providing proper care and meeting patients’ needs with psychological distress at emergency departments.

Various methods are currently being used in examining the initial “START” knowledge of applicants and their placement for specialties. Studies show that applicants are placed on the decreasing principle in terms of their overall scores at universities. In this case, applicants with a high level of knowledge are placed in the prestigious specialties as medicine and law as they require high results. Though, while applying for other professions, the applicants do not perform enough results on the key disciplines for the profession, they are placed in those professions when the general results enable it. This causes them to face a number of problems while working both in education process and in the industry. To avoid this problem and to place applicants in a specialty that is more relevant to their level of knowledge, the introduction of an individual approach to the evaluation of initial level of knowledge may be more promising. This article presents a modeling of the "evaluation – placement" support system for the individual approach to assessing applicants' knowledge and positioning them in relevant specialties. The main goal of the system is to give each applicant the opportunity to choose and study the specialty that is more relevant to their knowledge and skills, as well as to analyze the results for each discipline along with the overall results. The system is implemented using fuzzy logic based artificial neural networks. The network consists of 100 neurons in the input layer, two hidden layers and one output layer. The number of neurons at the output is the same as the number of specialties taught at university.

<p>The National Library of New Zealand defines information literacy as "locating, evaluating, managing and using information effectively from a range of sources for problem solving, decision making and research". The attitudes and the attributes of staff involved in all aspects of information literacy will have implications for both formal information literacy initiatives and one-on-one instruction undertaken in public libraries. This study investigated the attitudes, knowledge and skills that reference staff in New Zealand public libraries hold in relation to information literacy. The study employed a mixed methods approach using a self-completion questionnaire and in-depth interviews. This study shows that overall library staff have a high level of knowledge and awareness of what information literacy is. The importance of people being information literate is recognised and the public library's role in this acknowledged. Skill levels varied across the skill areas related to information literacy and between library staff. Library assistants have lower levels of skills than the overall sample whilst holders of library qualifications reported higher skill levels. The results have implications for professional development of staff in the area of information literacy.</p>

Цель исследования - показать, что создание среды для вовлеченности персонала в процессы бизнес-обучения становится важной задачей для разработчиков обучающих решений и для заказчика обучения, от которого зависит интеграция учебных процессов и результатов в рабочие реалии. В этой связи автором приводится механизм создания вовлекающего обучения персонала в процессы бизнес-обучения и утверждается, что конечной целью всех подходов является не вовлеченность обучающихся сама по себе, а эффективность обучения, при этом её показателем является применение результатов освоения новых знаний и навыков в реальной жизни. Научная новизна полученных результатов заключается в разработке методики вовлекающего обучения персонала в процессе бизнес-обучения. Освоение такой методики позволит компаниям правильно оценивать результат использования вовлекающих методик и справляться с вызовами на рабочем месте, а значит, обеспечивать вовлеченность персонала на высоком уровне. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that creating an environment for staff involvement in business training processes often becomes an important task for both the developers of training solutions and the customer of training, on which the integration of training processes and results into working realities depends. The ultimate goal of all approaches is not student engagement per se, but learning effectiveness. An indicator of effectiveness is the application of the results of mastering new knowledge and skills in real life. In this regard, the author in this study provides a mechanism for creating an engaging staff training in business training processes. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that it will allow companies to correctly assess the result of using engaging mechanics and to cope with the challenges in the workplace, and, therefore, to ensure staff involvement at a high level.

Background:Knowledge about chronic inflammatory rheumatisc diseases and skills to administer and manage subcutaneous (subcut) biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) are key aspects to optimize patient’s self-management. Intervention of several successive health professionals (e.g comprehensive multidisciplinary team) has proven to be an effective method to improve patient’s self-management of their disease and treatment.Objectives:To assess the pharmacist’s impact on patient’s knowledge and skills during a multidisciplinary annual review. The secondary objectives were to assess this impact on therapeutic adherence and patient’s satisfaction as well as to determine the factors associated with the level of knowledge at baseline.Methods:Study type: prospective, monocentric, 6 months-follow-up, non-controlled study approved by Local Ethical Committee. Inclusion criteria: patient with either rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondyloarthritis (SpA), and treated with subcut bDMARDs. Intervention: The visit with a pharmacist evaluating and discussing patient’s knowledge and treatment adherence. At baseline (M0): date of the visit and, 3 (M3) and 6 months (M6) later, knowledge and adherence were assessed using self-administered questionnaires: Biosecure and CQR-5 respectively. A questionnaire was sent at M3 in order to evaluate the patient satisfaction. Endpoints: Primary: Changes in Biosecure score Secondary: Percentage of patients with high level of knowledge (score > 84) and percentage of patients with high adherence at M3 and M6; patient’s satisfaction; identification of patient’s factors (socio-demographics, rheumatisc disease treatments) associated with different levels of knowledge at baseline.Statistical analysis: repeated measures ANOVA, Bonferroni and Generalized Estimating Equation, univariate and multivariate linear regression.Results:The study was conducted from October 2019 to July 2020; 79 patients were included (age (years) = 50±15; sex ratio = 1.1; RA=25, SpA=54). The Biosecure scores changed from 71±18 to 82±15 (M3) and to 84±14 (M6) (p<0.001). At M0, M3 and M6, the rate of patients with a high level of knowledge was 24.1%, 59.5% and 63.3% respectively (p<0.001). No difference was observed for the change in the 92% of patients considered as high adherent (92% versus 95% at M0 and M6 respectively; p=0.077). Patient’s satisfaction regarding the pharmaceutical intervention was 25±3 (max = 28).Factors associated with a better Biosecure score in the multivariate analysis were the following, lifestyle as a couple (p<0.001), information given by a nurse (p=0.033), information searched for on patient associations (p=0.013) and a low Charlson score (p=0.001)Conclusion:Pharmacist’s intervention in the comprehensive multidisciplinary annual review resulted in a beneficial impact on patients’ knowledge and skills to manage their bDMARDs with a high level of satisfaction from a patient perspective.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

AbstractIntroduction. Professional self-government is a form of association of persons who practice the same profession, established in order to represent their interests against the state authorities.Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of nurses and midwives on their professional self-government and their engagement in its activity.Material and methods. The study was conducted among 1,143 nurses and midwives. An originally designed questionnaire was used. The survey was administered via the Internet. Findings from questionnaires completed by 895 members of the Warsaw Regional Chamber of Nurses were analysed statistically. Statistical analysis was performed using intergroup comparisons or interfactor correlation tests, depending on the type of variables; statistical significance was set at p≤ 0.05.Results. Nearly 3/4 of respondents had low-to-medium knowledge on their professional self-government. Age and career length were positively correlated with a high level of knowledge.Conclusions. The knowledge of nurses and midwives on their professional self-government and news related to its functioning should be considered unsatisfactory and fragmentary. Further studies to determine the way to convey this knowledge to nurses and midwives are needed in order to expand this knowledge.

The aim of the research. To conduct a cluster analysis of the assessment profile of students who participated in work of medical organisations providing care to COVID-19 patients to develop recommendations for its correction. Material and methods. The study was carried out at the premises of Prof. V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University (KrasSMU). The study group was constituted by 66 students in 3-6 years of study of the Medical and the Paediatric faculties of the University who took part in activities of medical organisations providing healthcare to patients with COVID-19. The items were presented in the form of binary questions and ranking scales. The analysis of qualitative attributes was carried out in the form of relative values with calculation of the standard error of the proportion. For ranking and nonparametric quantitative characteristics, the mode, median, centiles (Me [P25; P75]) and other nonparametric criteria for comparative statistics and communication statistics were used. For segmentation of respondents according to some criteria, depending on the answers, the method “two-step cluster analysis” and the method of “decision tree” were used. Results. The results of the study indicate a high motivational component related to practical medical activity of medical students during the difficult epidemiological situation since 94.1% of the respondents declared the readiness to support practical healthcare. Almost half of the surveyed 47.0% of students included in cluster 2, in contrast to students of clusters 1 and 3, are characterised by a high opinion on the degree of their contribution to the struggle against the COVID-19 epidemic and a high level of knowledge and skills, rating themselves at about 9.0 points out of 10 possible. In addition, the results of the study indicate an association between the level of students’ self-esteem in regard to their contribution to the fight against COVID-19 with the level of the students’ self-esteem of knowledge and skills and the duration of work in a medical organisation. Conclusion. The analysis performed has made it possible to formulate guidelines for support of medical students’ professional attitudes within the framework of practice-oriented education, including distance learning.
