В статье рассматриваются преступления против здоровья населения и в сфере охраны жизни и здоровья человека, совершаемые медицинскими работниками. Обосновывается необходимость объединения этих преступлений в качестве единого объекта криминалистического исследования. Приводятся примеры фактов привлечения работников системы здравоохранения к уголовной ответственности за оказание услуг, не отвечающих требованиям безопасности. Определяются законодательные пробелы, связанные с отсутствием уголовно-правовой охраны человеческого плода в процессе родового акта, а также с невозможностью применения квалифицирующих признаков указанных преступлений в случае виновного причинения гибели плоду. The article considers crimes against public health and in the sphere of protection of life and health committed by medical workers. The necessity of combining these crimes as a single object of forensic investigation is substantiated. Examples of bringing of health care workers to criminal liability for the provision of services that do not meet the safety requirements are given. The legislative gaps associated with the lack of criminal law protection of human fetus in the process of delivery, as well as the inability to apply the qualifying signs of these crimes in the case of culpable causing the death of a human fetus are identified.

Abstract Background This study aimed to compare prevalence and risk factors of somatization (SOM) between health care workers and non-health care workers during COVID-19 outbreak in China. Methods From 14 February to 29 March 2020, an online survey was performed in both 605 health care workers and 1151 non-health care workers. Based on the somatization dimension score of the Symptom Checklist-90, participants were divided into non-SOM group and SOM group. Results Health care workers had higher prevalence rate of SOM (p < 0.001) than non-health care workers, with an OR of 1.70 (95% CI, 1.22–2.36, p = 0.002). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that in non-health care workers, the risk factors of SOM included other ethnicities, insomnia, and suicide, while in health care workers, the risk factors included working 6–8 h per day, and working ≥10 h per day during COVID-19 outbreak. Conclusions Our research suggests that both non-health care workers and health care workers have a relatively high prevalence of somatization. However, the related factors for somatization in both groups are significantly different, showing that medical service-related factors are associated with somatization in health care workers, while demographic and clinical factors are associated with somatization in non-health care workers.
