Abstract The purpose of this study was to study the institutional environment of higher medical and medical colleges (HMC and MC), including such components as «The quality of the educational process»; «Administration of the educational process and safety culture»; «The quality of the scientific process»; «The quality of the clinical process»; «Anti-corruption culture and anti-corruption». Methods.The research was carried out on the basis of a survey of students, teachers and administrative and management personnel (AMP). In total, respondents from 73 HMC and MC took part in the survey, including 13 110 students, 825 teachers and 199 representatives of AMP. Results. An analysis of the qualitative characteristics of the persons who were accepted in the survey indicates a lack of nursing education and an insufficient level of academic achievement (confirmed by a scientific / academic degree) in the majority of AMP and teachers of the HMC and MC. At the same time, teachers with little pedagogical experience and AMP with no / short duration of pedagogical experience tend to overestimate all the studied questions. Analysis of the administration of the educational process and safety culture indicates that teachers and AMP give a much higher assessment of ensuring the rights of students and the level of friendliness of relations with students than the students themselves, which, in fact, indicates insufficient contact between teachers and AMP with students in terms of assessing their needs and requirements; The analysis of the quality of the scientific process indicates that the least accessible for the research work of students are the presence of electives in scientific areas, work in the laboratory, the opportunity to travel to scientific conferences in the Republic of Kazakhstan, to near and far abroad. All categories of respondents require building competence in working with scientific knowledge bases Scopus, Web of Science Nursing Reference Center Plus, CINAHL (EBSCO). An analysis of the quality of the clinical process indicates that, on average, only 2/3 of the respondents, students and teachers note satisfaction with the equipment of clinical sites, the provision of the necessary premises and resources from the clinical sites, access to medical equipment at clinical sites, and access to patients. AMP tends to give a higher assessment of the quality of the clinical process. An analysis of the level of anti-corruption culture indicates that the greatest risk of situations in which elements of corruption in college are most common occurs when entering college, when passing midterm exams (ratings), when passing final exams and tests. As the main reasons for corruption in college, the majority of respondents indicate the low level of teacher salaries, low interest in studying among students. The teaching staff and the AMP give a much higher assessment of satisfaction with the level of response of the college administration to complaints regarding the facts of corruption and unethical attitude than the students themselves. Сonclusions. The results of the study indicate the need to strengthen the selection of personnel for the AMP positions in colleges with the introduction of a mandatory requirement for the presence of at least 5 years of teaching experience, the presence of an academic degree. According to the experience of leading foreign universities and colleges, it is necessary to encourage the practice of combining teaching positions and positions of administrative and managerial personnel. It is necessary to introduce mandatory certification of college teachers, as well as mandatory certification of AMP, every 3-5 years according to clear KPI criteria that assess their work. The discrepancy in the assessments of certain categories of respondents indicates the need for regular feedback from students, conducting questionnaires by teaching staff, AMP and other categories of employees in order to study the institutional environment of MC and HMC and prompt response to problems voiced by students and employees. Keywords: medical college, medical education, Kazakhstan.

The article examines changes in the system of Soviet public health that occurred during the Great Patriotic War. At that time, special attention was paid to improving the system of medical education. Before the educational institutions, an important task was set for the training of qualified personnel and the restructuring of scientific research in the field of health. The teaching methodology was changed: the number of hours for studying military medical disciplines increased, the training was temporarily carried out according to reduced curricula and terms, the early graduation of fourth-year students was carried out. Conducted transformations allowed the universities in a short time to provide the front with the necessary medical personnel. In addition, much attention was paid to improving medical services and expanding the network of medical and preventive institutions. Research work carried out in medical universities and scientific institutions allowed the introduction of new tools and methods for treating patients and the wounded. Scientists who made important discoveries in medicine were awarded high awards. Their development contributed to the successful solution of the problems of medical care and treatment of the wounded and sick.

Full textAbstract:
Physiology education, which occupies an important place in undergraduate medical education, exhibits diversities across the world. Since there was no specific source of information about physiology education in Turkish medical faculties, the authors aimed to evaluate the general status of undergraduate physiology teaching of medical students in Turkey. A questionnaire designed for the program used for medical students was sent to the physiology departments of 38 faculties that had academic personnel and had carried out medical education for at least 3 years. It questioned the educational load, content, and duration of the lectures, written materials, techniques, assessment methods, basic equipments, and subjects used in practical sessions. All 38 departments answered the questionnaire. This study investigating 38 faculties showed that the content and time devoted to lectures and practical sessions (169 and 35 h) differed, as it does throughout the world, and teaching laboratories constituting 17% of total physiology education were performed and assessed by all of the departments. The practical hours correlated with the number of teaching staff. Our results indicated an insufficient number of teaching staff with a heavy educational load. This survey showed that the number of teaching staff is critical for practical sessions. Considering that the actual number of medical schools is 61 schools, with some established but not yet admitting students and educating with their own staff, if the requirements for teaching staff are not met, physiology education in Turkey will face important problems in the coming years.

Full textAbstract:
Instruction of medical students in the use of technologic procedures in clinical medicine has emerged in recent years on a more or less piecemeal basis. Individual technologies are introduced as the teaching hospital acquires the requisite equipment and personnel; as experience is gained by faculty and attending staff some sense emerges of the indications, contraindications, risks, accuracy, and usefulness of a procedure, which then is transmitted to housestaff and students. Instruction is likely to occur on a case-by-case basis, supplemented occasionally by conferences or formal presentations, generally oriented around major innovations, such as computerized transaxial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. As relevant clinical literature appears, it is used to reiterate and expand the available information base of trainees, but to a considerably greater extent for housestaff than for students. Ultimately what emerges is a pattern of use, a gestalt, for each technology, reflecting the synthesis of the available information and clinical experience with the procedure in the particular institution. In view of the enormous number and variety of technologies available, the task of the student or house officer in acquiring even basic familiarity with those in common use is formidable. A coherent approach to instruction in the use of technologic procedures is required. Students need, and medical faculties must find, a way to provide intellectual systems for incorporating technologies into the clinical armamentarium in a manner that permits them to be maximally useful.

Abstract Introduction. As these define the status of the patient during the provision of health services, patients' rights are a very important component of Poland's medical law. The observance of these rights is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the nursing profession. Theoretical and practical preparation in this area is thus already a necessity in the students' education process. Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the opinions and attitudes of nursing students with respect to problems in the field of the observance of the rights of patients in Poland. Material and methods. The study was built upon the opinions expressed by 375 students (362 women and 13 men) of the first and second year. These were full-time and part-time students in master's studies in nursing, of the Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw. The study employed a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the content of essays. Results. The results of the study indicate that 59 percent of the respondents report being frequent witnesses of violation of patient's rights. In particular, that which noted were the rights to privacy and dignity (98%), to receive sought-after information (91%) and to suitable health-care (85%). Another right seen to have been violated in the respondents' workplace was the patient's right to the maintenance of the confidentiality of patient-related information by medical personnel (77%). The respondents, while seeing violation of the patient's rights by other employees, declared their own adherence to these rights in their own professional practice. Conclusions. 1. The majority of the study group repeatedly witnessed violation of patients' rights. It would, therefore, be advisable to monitor the observance of the rights of patients by medical personnel, and to see to the professional liability of those who flagrantly breaking the law. 2. Research findings indicate that ethics should be given more emphasis in teaching future health professionals in the course of their medical studies. 3. The analysis of the available literature and our own study show that the share of medical personnel in providing information about the patients' rights is minimal. It would be advisable for medical personnel to be given an opportunity to acquire new skills and competences in this field. 4. Awareness of the existence and knowledge of the patient's rights, not only among medical students and health professionals, but also among patients, is crucial to their observance by the former and their exercise by the latter. It should, therefore, be spread and raised. 5. Training and thematic courses in patient's rights should be provided in order to enable medical personnel to acquire new skills and competences in this field, with the end result of improving their observance of patient's rights. 6. A qualitative analysis constitutes an innovative and effective way of carrying out research and interpreting research findings, being a valuable and reasonable method of conducting a survey, and in exploring the attitudes of students and health-care workers towards patient's rights.

The paper presents a sociological analysis of the possibilities of using distance technologies in teaching students with medical specialization. A content analysis of federal state educational standards, programs, and curricula for the training of specialists in medical universities of the Russian Federation was carried out to determine whether it is possible to transfer some aspects of the educational process to a distance form of learning. Through semi-structured interviews, a survey was carried out among teachers who indicated their opinion on distance education for future medical workers. In conclusion, distance technologies for training of health and medical personnel can be used in limited cases that do not require the development of practical skills.

Full textAbstract:
Although anatomy is one of the core knowledge pillars within medical teaching, the level of knowledge covered in the modernized medical curriculan recent years around the world has declined considerably, due to the use of old-fashioned pedagogical methods. This study examines available approaches to anatomy teaching and how to improve student learning in this area, while also targeting higher skills and knowledge for future medical personnel. Using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to collect data, mini-interviews and online surveys were conducted with a sample of four participants (a student, a resident, and two medical educators) to explore the different aspects of anatomy learning and its key challenges. From this small sample of medical students and educators, data was collected around four key themes: fundamental introductory learning, technology-based education, teaching techniques, and updated curriculum. A thematic analysis of the participants’ insights revealed that, while technology-based alternatives were considered effective tools, dissecting cadavers was the preferred means of learning anatomy.

Full textAbstract:
In order to care for sick people as whole persons, health personnel need awareness of how sickness afflicts human beings, and how health professionals affect patients’ ability to deal with disease and suffering. In medical education there is a well-documented dearth of teaching and learning about emotions and relational healing mechanisms. Medical students are not systematically educated in the “existential anatomy” of persons, and how to deal productively with uncertainty, embarrassment and helplessness.In this highly participatory workshop, a concrete teaching method for first-year medical students, developed in Norway, will be shared. The method, called PASKON (“patient contact”) is anchored within a theoretical framework related to Whole Person Care, which is currently taught at McGill.Central to PASKON is the encounter between novice medical students and very sick volunteers, both in the patients’ homes and in the classroom. Having to enter the intimacy sphere of a stranger, and be acknowledged as a health professional without feeling like one, is an orchestrated rite of passage that generates strong emotions and a wealth of material for reflection. More experienced students coach the first-years and assess their reflective essays.The workshop will highlight the rationale for working with relationships, emotion and awareness in medical students. Participants will then be given roles as patients or students, and guided through a simulated session of PASKON, and reflections on the method and its potential applications.

Response or reaction of the mind to the pressure of life is stress. Medical students of Bangladesh are in stress to meet the demands of the curriculum. This study was conducted on the regularly passed final year students of a medical college to find out the nature of stresses perceived by them. The response was collected on a validated structured set of questionnaire, 3 weeks prior to the University level summative examination and 63 students (33 male and 30 female) participated in the study. Stress was expressed in five levels and scored as 0 to 4. Academic related factors were identified as maximum stress provoking (2.5 ± 1.3) than group activity (1.6 ± 1.4), drive (1.4 ± 1.5), teaching-learning (2.3 ± 1.3), personnel (1.8 ± 1.6) or social (1.9 ± 1.5) related factors. Of that group of stress, ‘falling behind reading schedule’ and ‘large amount of content to be learned’ were revealed as heavy stressors. Examination was identified as a severe stressor in 42.4% male, but was marked less (16.7%) in the female. ‘Too much restriction in the campus’ was observed as heavy stressors among the factors other than the academic related stressors. Students may be motivated to develop a coping strategy for academic and teaching-learning related stress.

Higher medical education should provide high-quality training for students and become an important component of reforming the health care. The purpose of the higher education reforms is to establish the unified criteria, methodology and control systems, as well as to promote mutual recognition of higher education diplomas and students’ mobility. The practice of teaching pathomorphology and biopsy sectional course at the department of pathological anatomy proves that there is poorly developed integration between disciplines due to the lack of clear prevailing curricula. The merging of the material and technical resources and staff resources of the universities and the pathoanatomical service will increase the level of teaching work and will ensure objectivity in assessing the students’ practical skills. The close interaction between the department of pathological anatomy and medical institutions can contribute to eliminate the gap between theory and practice, to carry out training of highly skilled personnel through primary specialization, internship, residency and postgraduate study.

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has formulated a new Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduates with an objective of making medical education outcome based. A one month long Foundation Course (FC) is a hallmark of this CBME which is implemented during the first month of first professional MBBS studies. The objective is to acquaint, allay apprehension and prepare freshers for further studies using andragogical and heutagogical approaches. The MCI also released the guidelines for the medical colleges for uniform conduct of FC across the country. The FC was divided into six modules, i.e. Orientation Module, Skills Module, Community orientation module, Professional Development and Ethics Module (P and E), Enhancement of Language and Computer Skills Module, and Sports and extracurricular activities.1 A total of 175 hours were allotted to these modules. Like every institute, our institute also developed the implementation program and time-table of FC using MCI guidelines and taking into account the available resources.2,3 The FC at our institute was conducted from 1st August 2019 to 31st August 2019 and was meticulously planned and implemented. The effective implementation required committed efforts of 30 faculty members (12 Professors, 11 Associate Professors and 7 Assistant Professors), two language and one fine arts teacher, and 4 non-teaching members (Librarian, IT-personnel, Coach for sports and motivational Guru). The students were trained to write reflections daily in their log - books which are being analysed further.

Background Smoking among health care personnel such as medical students is an important public health issue. More effective measures to reduce tobacco smoking among medical students are needed worldwide. Very few studies had been conducted in past in India and other developing countries to understand the magnitude of problem. Objectives To determine the prevalence and associated factors of current smoking among medical students. Methods Cross sectional study was conducted during January and February 2009 among 333 study subjects selected randomly from four batches of a teaching institution. Subjects were administered a self administered pre tested questionnaire and smoking status was assessed as per the criteria laid down by WHO. Proportion, chi square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results The prevalence of current smoking was found to be 22.4% (67). There were widespread deficiencies in knowledge of smoking among students of different classes, as an important causal factor in many diseases like gastro intestinal malignancy, heart problems, asthma, and emphysema. It was found that only half of them were willing to quit smoking (33). Fourth year students (OR=2.54) and presence of peer pressure (OR=21.91) had independent significant association with current smoking. Conclusion Prevalence of smoking among medical students is high that warrants adoption of comprehensive smoking control interventions among them.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v9i4.6335 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2011;9(4):233-7

This article examines the teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) to medical personnel (nurses and doctors) in a hospital in Northern Thailand. The study shows that using technological devices like listening and comprehension CDs, tape recorders and the Internet to teach informational texts can help ESL learners overcome some of their learning difficulties. Evidence from the study suggests that such a pedagogical approach not only improves the comprehension of informational texts but also students’ mastery levels of spoken and written English. The findings also reveal that such a pedagogical approach exposes students to the various nuances and differences associated with Global English awareness and understanding.

Abstract. The characteristic of the functioning of the pharmaceutical personnel training system on the eve and during the years of World War II is presented. It was established that the countrys leadership had carried out a conceptual restructuring of the entire education system in advance and measures had been taken to streamline scientific and scientific-pedagogical work. At the beginning of the war, decisive measures were taken at the state level to preserve both the number of universities with their scientific and pedagogical potential, and the number of students. It is shown that on the eve of the war 22916 pharmaceutical specialists were in stock, of which more than 11 thousand people were drafted into the army, which accounted for about 70% of the staffing requirement. However, these specialists could not fully carry out professional activities without additional knowledge. Many of them, called up from the reserve, in practice in the most difficult wartime conditions, comprehended the organizational features of the work of hospital pharmacies and warehouses, the military field technology for the manufacture of medicines, the principles of medical supply for the army. The contribution of the Military Medical Academy named after CM. Kirov in improving the efficiency of the functioning of the medical supply system and the training of military pharmaceutical personnel. The activities of universities to establish training necessary for the front and rear of specialists, ways to eliminate the personnel hunger, the organization of the educational process in besieged Leningrad are shown. The heroism of students and teachers of institutes is reflected. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, it is difficult to overestimate the dedicated work of the teaching staff and researchers of pharmaceutical universities and faculties, which allowed not only to preserve, but also to increase the potential of the pharmaceutical education system during the Great Patriotic War. Trained pharmaceutical specialists in difficult conditions worked selflessly at the front, in the rear, preserving the life, health of the wounded and sick soldiers and the countrys population, bringing Victory closer.

Introduction. The deterioration of the health and physical fitness of school children in recent decades has actualized the need to introduce a health-saving system in educational organizations and as one of its components - school medicine. The introduction of school medicine in education dictated the need to solve two problems: the creation of a material and technical base (school medical offices and their equipment) and the training of school medical workers (bachelors of school medicine) or the redistribution of medical workers from the health system to education. However, the quantitative deficit in the country of pediatricians and secondary medical workers dictated only the first option of solving the problem. In this logic, the project “School medicine” was developed, aimed the training of bachelors in this field in medical universities and their subsequent employment in educational organizations. However, the introduction of school medicine did not take into account the ability of the teaching staff to form and preserve the health of students in the process of education and upbringing. This prompted us to consider the possibility of teachers' participation in the implementation of this project as full members of the school medicine system. The purpose of the study: to justify the role and importance of teachers in the implementation of the project “School medicine”. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on modern concepts of health as a holistic system, including physical, mental and moral components that have a mutual influence on each other, and the inextricable connection of this system with the natural and social environment (the principles of integrity, consistency, unity). The analytical and synthetic methods to study the problem paper has been used. Results. Based on the data of the authors and generalization results, the main directions of teachers' work on creating a health-preserving environment in an educational organization, participating in screening diagnostics and monitoring of physical and mental health of pupils, forming a healthy and safe lifestyle, as well as cooperation with medical personnel in the implementation of medical and hygienic tasks defined in the project are shown. The system of assessment of pupils' health, which can be defined as the first stage of medical examination of schoolchildren, is presented. Conclusions. The authors come to the conclusion that the training of students of a pedagogical University with the introduction of the “School medicine” program can provide a comprehensive approach to assessing the health of students and the sanitary and hygienic conditions of the educational environment and the educational process using modern innovative technologies, which can be implemented by teachers both independently and in cooperation with medical personnel.

Background: Ecopharmacology which deals with the health hazards posed by discarded or used medicinal products in the environment, is a globally emerging issue. There are guidelines for pharmaceutical waste management (Like GMP and FDA guidelines) for the manufacturing units, pharmacists and consumers. However, it is uncertain whether consumers are aware of it. Before beginning the process of creating awareness, it is first necessary to assess the existing knowledge of the issue in the community. This study was planned to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of ecopharmacology in the medical personnel and students in our institute.Methods: It was a questionnaire based cross-sectional observational study. Study population included MBBS students, nursing students and resident doctors. Total 500 consenting participants were enrolled and subjected to a structured KAP questionnaire and data was expressed in percentage. Questionnaire consisted of 20 questions out of which 3 were open ended and remaining closed ended.Results: Present study result showed that 73% respondents had heard of term ecopharmacology and majority (98%) felt that it was their responsibility to protect environment from pharmaceutical waste. Responses from 83% of participants indicated that they were worried about the excess medicines at their homes. 87% of participants threw it in garbage bin, but (58%) were unsure whether their drug disposing method was safe and 25 % knew it was unsafe. Most respondents (94%) felt that there should be guidelines for safe disposal of expired/unused drug and were enthusiastic about participating in campaign for this issue. Medical personnel also suggested some solutions to deal with this problem.Conclusions: Awareness and concern regarding the problem is high however in absence of knowledge of methods of safe disposal of unused drug, it is not transforming into safe disposal practices.

With the change of health concept and medical mode, the nursing personnel in the 21st century will confront day by day expanding work domain, and new opportunities and challenges put forward new requirements for the scale and quality of nursing personnel training. The core problem of nursing education reform is course reform. At present, nursing specialty teaching has such problems as the lack of learning initiative and imperfect course evaluation system which seriously affect the teaching effect. Hence, this study applied UCD theory, summarized the principles of multimedia teaching design based on UCD theory, and applied it in network course design of nursing teaching. The detailed design application method expanded in detail from three aspects: course process, course content and course experience. Meanwhile, four-in-one (blended-flipped-autonomous-collaborative) teaching model was proposed. The teaching model is based on the functional structure relation between course objective and course implementation process, and element analysis model of course quality process. The course quality evaluation index system oriented to objective-process was constructed from six dimensions (including course objective adaptation, teaching resource guarantee, teaching program execution, teaching program suitability, quality assurance effectiveness and course objective attainment) to assess the application effect of four-in-one teaching model in Fundamental Nursing. The results show that the four-in-one teaching model better improves students’ self-management ability, information acquisition ability, learning and cooperation ability, compared with traditional teaching models. Objective-process course quality evaluation index system can quantify evaluation of teaching effect from multiple dimensions and make teachers optimize course design with pertinence.

A name gives one identity, inspiration, strength, vision and an ability to see far into the future end from the beginning. Pathology disciplines therefore need correct and proper names that will carry along it all those attributes to enable them explore all her potentials unhindered in the 21st century practice of Medicine in the country. This study reviewed the functions of Medical Microbiologists and Haematologists in the midst of incessant inter-professional rivalry involving medical laboratory scientist in the country's teaching hospitals. Data was collected based on information from electronic, online and print media, and social media platforms. Questionnaires were administered to assess the knowledge of students of Adeyemi College of Education Ondo-City on the difference between Consultant Medical Microbiologists and Academic Microbiologists. We found out that in over 85% of the crisis in the medical laboratories in the country are from either Medical Microbiology and or Haematology laboratories; disciplines whose names have little to do with pathology, and that Anatomic Pathology and Chemical Pathology disciplines are usually only in solidarity with the two. Also other health personnel including scientists do not feel fully convinced that Consultants in the former two disciplines (Medical Microbiology and Haematology) are truly Pathologists. It was also found that 90% of members of the general public cannot differentiate between a Pathologist who specializes in Microbiology from an individual who graduated with BSc or MSc in Microbiology and so could hardly understand why such could not also practice as Consultant Microbiologist or Lecture in Clinical Pathology departments. At the University of Medical Sciences teaching Hospital Complex (UNIMED THC) where both the discipline and the Department are named Microbial Pathology, the tension has substantially been put under check. The two subspecialties should be properly named as: Microbial Pathology and Haematologic Pathology instead of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, and Haematology respectively along with their respective Departments.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of Thailand’s medical tourism industry has inevitably made English oral communication skills become increasingly important to Thai medical personnel, especially to nurses who have to act as medical mediators between doctors and patients. Thus, in order to prepare nursing students for their future career, it is necessary that English teachers find a way to help students improve their oral communication ability. Thus, in this study, as a means to overcome the students’ difficulties in learning English and to enhance their English oral communication ability, the task-based instruction using a digital game in a flipped learning environment (TGF) was developed by integrating three language learning approaches, namely task-based language teaching, flipped learning, and digital game-based language learning. The development of the instructional framework for the TGF was described first. Then, to investigate its effectiveness in improving the students’ oral communication ability, an experimental study, using a one-group pretest posttest design, was conducted with 23 second-year nursing students at a private university in Thailand for 11 weeks. The effects of the TGF on the students’ oral communication ability were assessed by the participants’ pre- and post-test. The finding revealed that the participants’ average post-test score was statistically significantly higher than their average pre-test score (p < 0.05), indicating that the TGF was successful in enhancing the students’ oral communication ability. Lastly, the factors contributing to this success were discussed.

Summary Introduction: The pharmacists played an important role in the development of biochemistry as applied chemistry in Serbia. What is more, the first seven state chemists in Ser bia were pharmacists. State chemists performed the chemicaltoxicological analysis as well as some medical and biochemical ones. When it comes to the education of medical biochemists as health workers, the period after the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century should be taken into account because that is when the training of pharmaceutical staff of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, begins on the territory of Serbia. This paper presents the development of medical biochemistry through the development of curriculum, personnel and literature since the foundation of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Serbia until today. Objective: The aim of this paper is to present the historical development of biochemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, through analysis of three indicators: undergraduate and postgraduate education of medical biochemists, teaching literature and professional associations and trade associations. Method: The method of direct data was applied in this paper. Also, desktop analysis was used for analyzing of secondary data, regulations, curricula, documents and bibliographic material. Desktop research was conducted and based on the following sources: Archives of the University of Belgrade- Faculty of Pharmacy, Museum of the History of Pharmacy at the University of Belgrade-Faculty of Pharmacy, the Society of Medical Biochemists of Serbia and the Serbian Chamber of Biochemists. Results and conclusion: The curricula, the Bologna process of improving education, the expansion of the range of subjects, the number of students, professional literature for teaching biochemistry, as well as professional associations and trade associations are presented through the results.

Full textAbstract:
Functional understanding of the different parts of the cardiovascular system is essential for an insight into pathomechanisms of numerous diseases. During training cardiovascular physiology, students and early-stage medical personnel should understand the role of different functional parameters for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as for blood flow. The impact of isolated parameters can only be studied in models. Here physical hydraulic models are an advantage in which the students have a direct contact to the mechanical properties of the circulatory system. But these models are often difficult to handle. The aim of the present study was to develop a comprehensive model of the cardiovascular system, including a mechanical heart with valves, an elastic aorta, a more rigid peripheral artery system, a total peripheral resistance, and a venous reservoir representing the variable cardiac preload. This model allows one to vary systematically several functional parameters and to continuously record their impact on pressure and flow. This model is embedded into a computer-based teaching system (LabTutor) in which the students are guided through the handling of the model (as well as the systematic variation of parameters), and the measured data can be analyzed. This hybrid teaching system, which is routinely integrated in physiology laboratory courses of medical students, allows students to work with a complex hydraulic model of the cardiovascular system and to analyze systematically the impact of influencing variables (e.g., increased peripheral resistance or changed cardiac preload) as well as pathophysiological dysfunctions (e.g., reduced aortic compliance).

The two following papers describe some of the benefits and problems involved in integrating clinical and investigative work. It is stressed that there are a number of advantages to such integration. Researchers especially benefit from the proximity to patients and clinicians. Education can be significantly enhanced when researchers and clinicians are in one setting and this can benefit residents, medical students and non-medical health personnel. There are a number of problems to such clinical research in psychiatry. These are discussed especially as they relate to senior faculty and their resistances to research. The shortage of clinician scientists in teaching positions means that most residents are not involved with such people as mentors early in their training and do not consider this as a career option after their residency training. Reductionistic thinking on the part of some researchers and when researchers are not first-rate clinicians both contribute to residents not becoming involved in clinical investigation. Funding policies as well as chairmen's hiring policies also play a role here.

Background: Health care sector is clearly a high-risk sector for acquiring occupational hazards and have given rise to a debate on the need for a specific approach in order to improve the protection of the health and safety of hospital personnel. Many health care professionals in hospitals are exposed to significant occupational health hazards and consequently are at high risk of work-related diseases. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice of medical students on occupational hazards faced by health care professionals.Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 235 undergraduate medical students was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire.Results: All the respondents stated that they were aware of occupational hazard in their profession. 60% responded that biological hazards have maximum chance to occur at their working environment. 66.8% feared that occupational hazard can hamper their performance and 63.4% were of the view that animal simulation methods/manikins can minimize the risk of occupational hazard. 72.8% stated that clinical wards are the most likely place for occupational hazard and air-borne infection is the commonest source. Most respondents (97.4%) would like this topic to be included in the Undergraduate curriculum and 98.3% respondents were willing to attend a training programme about occupational health and safety.Conclusions: Hospital should provide personal protective equipment’s and look after adequate waste disposal systems to prevent the occurrence of health hazards in hospitals.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pakistan has one of the most elevated death rates from road traffic accidents with an estimated 146,000 people died and 2.8 million injured per year. In number of emergency conditions, CPR is a significant life-sparing methodology in response to sudden heart failure accompanied by resuscitation, and fast defibrillation. Therefore, this study aims to explore the knowledge and attitude of rehab sciences students towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODOLOGY A cross-sectional survey conducted on 136 physiotherapy students recruited via convenience sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire including questions regarding knowledge and attitude towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation were distributed via email or Google Docs to record participants’ responses. RESULTS A total number of 136 responses received from distributed questionnaires from participants with mean age of 22.34±3.92 with 109 (79.2%) females and 27 (19.9%) males. It was revealed that (83.1%) majority of students have understating regarding CPR whereas (62.7%) has taken the course due to mandatory work or graduation requirement (58.2%) while the main source of attained knowledge was teaching by medical personnel in school/university. Moreover, (84.3%) students had a positive attitude to learn and perform CPR training. CONCLUSION It was concluded that that majority of students have understanding regarding CPR and had a positive attitude to learn and perform the technique. However, the knowledge was found to be average therefore an accreditation program is recommended for an undergraduate curriculum. Moreover, further studies are recommended to be conduct in future to evaluate the knowledge gaps in medical education. Cardiopulmonary, Resuscitation, Heart, CPR, Health, Physiotherapy, Defibrillator

Nosocomial infections (NIs) are one of the most important health issues, particularly in developing countries, because these infections cause high mortality and morbidity, and economic and human resource loss as a consequence Nosocomial infections can be defined as those occurring within 48 hours of hospital admission, 3 days of discharge or 30 days of an operation. Many studies have examined risk factors of nosocomial infections. However, knowledge of frontline workers (attendants) in infection prevention have been reported rarely in developing countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of attendants working in different wards and OPDs about infection prevention. S: Data were collected from 100 attendants in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. Regarding the knowledge on hand washing, gloving and personal accessories for Infection Prevention, majority of the respondents had good knowledge ranging from 94-100%. Though hospital has established Infection Prevention Committee and regular training on infection prevention is provided to all the staffs, the data indicated that only 68% respondents were benefitted by the infection prevention training and proper use of virex solution to disinfect the equipment’s was found unsatisfactory. Infection control is the responsibility of all Health Care Facility (HCF) personnel. The goal of the infection control policies are to identify and reduce risks of acquiring and transmitting infections among patients, staff, students, volunteers, contract service workers, and visitors Although significant effort has been made to reduce the Nosocomial infections, regular training as well as monitoring supervision will enhance the capacity of the health care providers and front line workers for cleaning services they are our valued respondents.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v6i1.55069

Background: WHO declared corona virus disease as a pandemic on March 11th 2020. Health care workers are at a greater risk of infection as they come into contact with the patients. Consistent use of personal protective equipment is important to reduce nosocomial transmission and stops further spread of the disease. The main aim of the study was to assess the awareness of personal protective measures among undergraduate students.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among Final MBBS part-1students of Kurnool Medical College, Kurnool from August to September, 2020, after obtaining IEC clearance. Assuming an awareness of 50%, allowing 20% error, a sample size of 100 was obtained using the formula 4pq/l2. The study subjects were selected by simple random sampling. Questionnaire is based on “Center for Disease Prevention and Control” of health care personnel and sent to the participants through Google forms.Results: Overall, 51% were males, 85% were aware of source of infection, close contact (87%), hand hygiene practices(84%), usage of masks (82%), sequence of donning (58%) and doffing (42%) of PPE.Conclusions: 83% (>10/15 responses) were aware about personal protection and prevent the spread of the disease but very few of them knew in depth about the same, hence a need to reiterate these facts.

Background.The rate of influenza vaccination among healthcare workers (HCWs) is approximately 40%. Differences in vaccination rates among HCW groups and reasons for accepting or rejecting vaccination are poorly understood.Objectives.To determine vaccination rates and motivators among different HCW groups during the 2004-2005 influenza season.Design.Cross-sectional survey conducted between July 10 and September 30, 2005.Setting.Two tertiary care teaching hospitals in an urban center.Participants.Physicians, nurses, nursing aides, and other staff. Surveys were collected from 1,042 HCWs (response rate, 42%).Results.Sixty-nine percent of physicians (n = 282) and 63% of medical students (n = 145) were vaccinated, compared with 46% of nurses (n = 336), 42% of nursing aides (n = 135), and 29% of administrative personnel (n = 144). Physicians and medical students were significantly more likely to be vaccinated than all other groups (P < .0001). Pediatricians (84%) were more likely than internists (69%) and surgeons (43%) to be vaccinated (P < .0001). Among the HCWs who were vaccinated, 33.4% received the live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) and 66.6% received trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV). Vaccinated HCWs were less likely than unvaccinated HCWs to report an influenza-like illness (P = .03). Vaccination with LAIV resulted in fewer episodes of influenza-like illness than did receiving no vaccine (P = .03). The most common reason for rejecting vaccination was a concern about availability. Understanding that HCWs may transmit the virus to patients correlated with vaccine acceptance (P = .0004).Conclusions.Significant differences in vaccination exist among physician specialties and employee groups, and there are inadequate vaccination rates among those with the greatest amount of patient contact, potentially providing a basis for group-specific interventions.

ABSTRACT The breakthrough of the computer and information technologies in all the segments of the society, led to the needs for the computer and information technologies. The knowledge of information technology is now part of general literacy. The computer literacy does not require comprehensive and detailed knowledge of the electronics or programming. Although with the electronic computer which is the invention of our age, the attempts of the construction of the first machine for the processing of the information reach far in the history of human civilization. The only and global function of a computer data processing can be naturally separated into the series of the other elementary operations, as for examples are: ‘the followup of the data, their registration, reproduction, selection, sorting, and comparison’ and so on. The computers are being classified according to ‘the purpose, type and computer size’. According to the purpose the computers it can be of the general and specific purposes. The computers for the general purpose serve for the commercial applications or any other application that is necessary. If medical informatics is regarded as a scientific discipline dealing with theory and practice of information processes in medicine, comprising data communication by information and communication technologies (ICT), with computers as an especially important ICT, then it can be stated that the history medical informatics is connected with the beginnings of computer usage in medicine. The medical informatics is the foundation for understanding and practice of the up-to-day medicine. Its basic tool is the computer, subject of studying and the means by which the aspects and achieve the new knowledge in the studying of a man, his health and disease, and functioning of the total health activities. Current network system possesses the limited global performance in the organization of health care, and that is especially expressed in the clinical medicine, where the computer technology has not received the wanted applications yet. In front of us lies the brilliant future of the medical informatics. It should expect that the application of terminal and personal computers with more simple manners of operation will enable routine use of computer technology by all health professionals in the fields of telemedicine, distance learning (DL) (web-based medical education), application of ICT, medical robotics, genomics, etc. The development of nature languages for communication with the computers and the identification of input voice will make the work simpler. Regarding the future of medical informatics education there are numerous controversies. Everybody agrees that the medical informatics is very significant for the whole health care and for the needs for personnel. However, there is not yet the general agreement regarding the teaching programs, because the medical informatics is very involved and propulsive, what makes the performance of the stable education programs more difficult. There are also not general agreement in which year of studding should transfer the knowledge from medical informatics. The majority of the experts still agree that the priority should be given in later study years, since more and more students enroll the faculties with prior informatics illiteracy, and the comprehension of some medical informatics fields is not possible without prior clinical knowledge.

The subject of this research is the preventive measures aimed against extremist activity in the conditions of falsification of history in youth environment. Leaning on students’ survey results, questionnaire materials of the student youth of Kemerovo Oblast, Novosibirsk Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast and Altai Krai, the author analyzes the factors that create favorable environment for falsification of history and growth of extremist manifestations. The article demonstrates the principle of organization of measures for countering the proliferation of extremist ideologies among youth. The experience of Kemerovo State Medical University on preventing extremist activity, which can be also use in other secondary and higher educational institutions, is described. Extremist ideology that is based on erroneous interpretation of historical facts and events, i.e. intentional distortion of history, underlied any extremist activity. These two phenomena and interrelated. Therefore, prevention of extremist manifestations is impossible without understanding and countering the mechanisms of falsification of history. Knowledge of the Russian history among youth is an important tool in prevention of falsification of history, and thus, extremist activity. A significant part of preventive work should be conducted starting from middle school history classes. The formation of fundamental knowledge on the key events of the Russian history, sense of patriotism, skills of working with information among youth is the property vector of anti-extremist activity, and is impossible without systematic and extensive implementation of this direction in educational institutions, beginning in grade school and continuing through university. The author underlines the need for training pedagogical personnel and changing approaches in teaching history.

AbstractIntroduction. Although European healthcare systems differ from country to country, almost all are currently going through profound changes and are becoming increasingly complex. New tasks and growing social expectations towards healthcare build high expectations of medical professionals regarding their competences. Knowledge and skills allowing for choosing the safest and most efficient option for patient care are particularly welcome. The idea of Evidence-based Nursing Practice (EBP) combines the best available research evidence on the one hand and clinical expertise and patients’ expectations on the other, allowing for solving problems in making clinical decisions. EBP is a tool used for making clinical decisions in nursing care that helps to reduce the cost of healthcare by increasing efficiency and safety. Under the Directive 2013/55/EU European Federation of Nurses Associations developed qualifications framework that provides requirements for nursing training, with the ability to apply research evidence in clinical practice being one of its key elements. Despite the aforementioned recommendations, the actual implementation of EBP into clinical practice is hindered by various obstacles. In addition, the existing European resources enhancing EBP teaching for nursing students are very limited.Summary. The EBP e-Toolkit Project is a response to high needs of the academic world and nursing practitioners, involving six institutions whose cooperation and expertise aim to ensure the development and implementation of high-quality learning tools tailored to the educational needs of modern nursing personnel. The six higher education institutions that jointly implement the aforementioned project involve: the University of Murcia (coordinating institution, Spain), Technological Educational Institute of Crete (Greece), University of Modena e Reggio Emilia (Italy), University of Ostrava (Czech Republic), Medical University of Warsaw (Poland), and Angela Boskin Faculty of Health Care (Slovenia).

Профессор Г.П. Сахаров (1914-1929) разрабатывал сложные методологические проблемы теоретической медицины; ввел в курс преподавания общей патологии ряд новых разделов (нозология, иммунопатология, эндокринная патология); предложил проводить демонстрационные эксперименты на занятиях со студентами; организовал вначале семинарские, а затем и практические занятия со студентами по проблемам воспаления, аллергии, патологии пищеварения. Профессор С.С. Халатов (1929-1947) рассматривал патофизиологию как основную теоретическую дисциплину, формирующую естественно-научную базу для понимания клинической патологии и практической деятельности врача. Профессор С.М. Павленко (1947-1976) способствовал подготовке в медицинских вузах нового поколения научных кадров, в том числе через студенческое научное творчество. Под его руководством решались также крупные методологические научные проблемы. В период заведования кафедрой профессором Н.И. Лосевым (1976-1991) большое внимание уделялось оптимизации содержания и методов преподавания в медицинских вузах. Под руководством чл.-корр. РАН, профессора П.Ф. Литвицкого (с 1991 года по настоящее время) главными направлениями деятельности коллектива кафедры стали интеграция результатов современных клинических и экспериментальных научных исследований социально значимых болезней человека; обучение студентов основам патофизиологии путем решения реальных - профессиональных врачебных задач с использованием патофизиологического анализа данных о пациенте; синтез патофизиологического и клинического подходов к анализу состояния больного человека. It is characterized stages of formation and development of substantive department of pathological physiology (general pathology) in chronology of activity of heads of department in the period of XX-XXI centuries. Information about the founder of department - professor A.I. Polunin and about the creator of experimental base and also clinical-experimental approach of its scientific and pedagogical activity - professor A.B. Fokht is presented in individual publications. Professor G.P. Sakharov (1914-1929) developed methodological problems of theoretical medicine; he introduced in course of teaching of general pathology a number of new sections (nosology, immunopathology, endocrinopathology); he offered to conduct demonstrative experiments in lessons with students; he organized seminars and later practical lessons about inflammation, allergy and pathology of digestion with students. Professor S.S. Khalatov (1929-1947) considered pathophysiology like main theoretical subject forming natural science base for understanding clinical pathology and practice of doctors. Professor S.M. Pavlenko (1947-1976) contributed the preparation of the new generation of scientific personnel in medical high schools including student scientific society. It was decided major methodological scientific problems under his direction. It was given a great attention of optimization of content and methods of teaching in medical high schools in the period of chairing of professor N.I. Losev (1976-1991). The main directions of employees of the department under chairing of corresponding member of RAS, professor P.F. Litvitskiy (1991-present) are integration of the results of modern scientific studies of socially significant diseases; teaching of students by solving of real medical tasks with using pathophysiological analysis of patient data; synthesis of pathophysiological and clinical approaches to the analysis of the patient’s condition.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to analyze and compare the textbooks of fundamentals of nursing and practice in order to standardize them for medication administration, infection control, and pressure injury. Methods: The current study is a literature review of the ten textbooks published after 2013. Ten textbooks were the ones selected by the Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute as major textbooks. Three items were reviewed: medication administration, infection control, and pressure injury, with a focus on differences in numbers, range, direction, and others. Results: For medication administration, there were some discrepancies in the size of needle and syringe, maximum dosage depending on injection methods, replacement period of catheter and infusion set, depth of insertion for vaginal medication administration. For infection control, items with discrepancies included length of time for hand washing, concentration of chemical sterilant, frequency of ventilation to prevent airborne disease, distance to prevent droplet-borne infection, the latent period of infectious disease, and methods to treat medical wastes. For pressure injury, the discrepancies were exhibited in the degree and duration of pressure for pressure injuries, range of scores for risks in pressure injury assessment tools, and temperature of the solution to irrigate pressure injuries. Conclusion: Standardized textbooks for these three parts will be useful teaching aide for students and nurses to carry out consistent and professional nursing for patients’ safety.

Full textAbstract:
Photodocumentation of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative findings serves to enhance and complement the study of normal and pathologic anatomy and physiology. Such documentation is invaluable for the teaching of medical students, physicians in the same or in other specialties, and allied health personnel. A surgeon may review and refine surgical technique, and colleagues around the world may study the situation from the same vantage point after surgery has been completed. Referring physicians may be kept graphically informed of the findings and progress of their patients. With the development of such modern technologies as laser microsurgery, an objective means of assessing ablation of disease and healing of surgical wounds is now available, and many of the extravagant claims of “no bleeding, and no edema during or after surgery” may be confirmed or refuted. I shall describe techniques for endoscopic examination and photodocumentation of the ears, anterior and posterior nares, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative patient. Techniques for obtaining high-quality color transparencies and color and sound videotapes will be presented. Equipment is simple and relatively inexpensive, and no special knowledge of photography is required. Examples of benign and malignant disease of the ears, nose, nasopharynx, and larynx will be shown before, during, and at regular intervals after microsurgery with the CO2 laser.

Introduction. Intense physical activity is associated with good health and wellbeing of an individual, and its manifestations in students can have gender and socio-cultural features. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of physical activity of Russian and foreign students of a regional university through the assessment of its motivators, barriers and interrelation with self-esteem indicators, the knowledge of which can be used as the basis for creating personalized preventive health promotion programs. Materials and Methods. An online survey among 423 Russian and foreign students of a regional university was conducted using the Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire using the Ashton Motivators and Barriers Scale and the modified method of Dembo – Rubinstein. The data obtained were statistically processed with the calculation of Student’s t-test, chi-square, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results. It has been revealed that two-thirds of the respondents have an optimal level of physical activity, and its motivators (the desire to improve health, physical shape, and body) and barriers (lack of time) are universal. Russian female university students surpass foreign ones in terms of the duration of physical activities, and foreign girls are inferior to foreign young men in terms of the frequency of classes. Barriers specific to Russian girls have been identified: Inappropriate weather and the belief that physical activity is not a right occupation for women. Russian young men have mentioned the lack of conditions for training as a barrier. The difference between Russian young men and foreign ones is that foreigners find positive correlation between physical activity, confidence, and physical attractiveness. Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained may be useful for teaching personnel of university departments of physical education, medical and psychological services, and student self-government organizations. It is recommended that university prevention programs be gender-specific, culturally oriented, aimed at neutralizing the system of internal and social barriers to attending classes, and based on the student's self-esteem potential.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: One way to understand a profession is to examine the job tasks undertaken by professionals within the field. The profession of vision rehabilitation therapy is examined by finding the frequency at which 100 specific job tasks are performed on average by current vision rehabilitation therapists (VRTs). Fifty-one of the job task frequencies are compared to 1989 frequencies for changes across the last 28 years. Methods: An anonymous online survey was carried out with current and recently retired VRTs. Participants were asked to rate the frequency at which they perform 100 specific job tasks and 13 demographic questions. Results: One hundred eighty-nine practitioners completed the survey. Mean frequencies for the 100 job tasks fell between a low of 1.08 (slightly above “do not perform the task”) for “writes grants for funding of agency services” and a high of 5.51 (above “perform 4 or 5 times a week”) for “writes case notes and reports for documentation.” Half of the 51 comparable job tasks indicated statistically significant changes in frequency across the 28-year period. Discussion: Statistically significant changes in job task frequencies occurred across job roles of teaching, case management, and professional or administrative activities, indicating that many aspects of the therapist’s job have changed. Individualized teaching remains a common aspect of the job, personalizing the skills taught and the teaching methods, for the individual client. VRTs are less frequently providing consultation to medical and community organizations. Implications for practitioners: The results presented provide an understanding of current job tasks of a practicing VRT. Understanding the changing trends of job tasks may inform university personnel preparation programs to better prepare students for employment demands. Decreasing community outreach may negatively affect the visibility of blind rehabilitation services and inadvertently affect referrals for vision rehabilitation therapy services.

The jobs of the future require deep understanding of the technologies changing our workplace and our society. That understanding requires experimental and experiential training and the kind of grounded academic thinking that lets big ideas soar. The programs, the faculty, and the universities that understand that challenge will lead us all. (Davidson 132)For cathy n. davidson, university education is equivalent to job preparation, which is not to say that she is talking about vocational training in the usual sense—the training, say, of medical technicians or park rangers, computer programmers or hotel personnel. On the contrary, her “new education” is designed as broadly as possible to be a replacement of the old liberal arts paradigm. The soaring cost of college education, she argues, will not decrease until public officials can be convinced that four (or even two) years of “university” training “can provide exactly the analytical and cross-cutting interdisciplinary thinking and communication skills that are most in demand in a complex workplace” (185). Goodbye, accordingly, to the traditional curriculum that has been in force for over a hundred years, goodbye to “passive, hierarchical models of teaching and learning” (103), to individual majors (and minors) like English, history, economics, or chemistry, with their lecture courses and discussion sessions, their final exams and pop quizzes, and welcome to the new world of “student-centered,” “project-based” “learning,” to the classroom “where students learn how to learn” (263).

This paper is devoted to the history of special pedagogy formation at the Kyiv Institute of People's Education. It reconstructs the initial stage of this process, namely the establishment of the medical and pedagogical faculty in 1920, and determines the features of its functioning, staffing, and reasons for structural transformations during 1921–1924. It proves that educational programs for the training of Ukrainian special education teachers were created and successfully implemented in a fairly short period of time, as well as that the interaction with city specialized children's institutions where students could undergo not only passive but also active practical training, was established. It focuses on the fact that leading Ukrainian specialists in defectology were involved in teaching at the institute during that period, thus students not only were acquainted with the latest achievements of correctional pedagogy but also had an opportunity to acquire applied skills under the guidance of practicing doctors. The paper also highlights the key reasons for the closure of training of special education teachers at the Institute in 1924. It founds that the change in the attitude of the state towards children with physical and mental disabilities in the late 1920s led to the reopening of the defectology department at the Kyiv Institute of Public Education (in 1929). It defines the main problems of its short-term history, as well as generalizes and specifies information about the actual head of the department O. M. Shcherbyna. It is thanks to the latter that the branch training of specialists under the categories of psychophysical deviations of children was taking place in the Kyiv IPE. The paper studies the main trends, positive achievements, and shortcomings of the formation of the Ukrainian system of training of special education teachers at the Kyiv IPE (1920–1930), which was the only higher educational institution in Ukraine training pedagogical personnel for the needs of a special school.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness. Palliative care must be a part of every medical personnel’s practice. But still medical education curriculums have not included palliative care in its syllabus, sufficiently due to which most of the health professional are not aware about this specialty. The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of the medical students in palliative care in a teaching hospital.
Methods: A descriptive study was done among 270 undergraduate medical students studying in Institute of Medicine using a self structured pretested questionnaire. Data was entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the total 270 undergraduate medical students only 152 has heard the word “palliative care”. Only 84 students know, palliative care can be provided early in the life threatening illness. Total 80 students know it doesn’t intend to postpone and hasten death. Though only 49 students didn’t know PC is not included in our curriculum, 227 are interested to learn about it if given any opportunity.
Conclusions: The perception of palliative care medicine is low in first couple of year of medical study. It is increased in clinically exposed students but is surprisingly more in fourth year than final year undergraduate medical students. However, it should be included in undergraduate medical study.
Keywords: medical students; palliative care; perception.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Health care-associated infections (HAIs) result in treatment delays as well as failures and financial losses not only to patients but also to the treating hospital and overall health-care delivery system. Due to hospital-acquired infections, there are problems of increase in morbidity and mortality, additional diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and ultimately antimicrobial resistance. Proper understanding among health-care workers about the ill effects of HAIs is very important to address this issue. The present study is a qualitative exploration aimed at understanding various aspects of hospital environmental hygiene and Infection prevention control program, by exploring the staff perception regarding the challenges, facilitators and barriers as well as feasible measures towards improvement in a rural tertiary teaching hospital in central India. Method: A qualitative study was conducted using 10 focus group discussions (FGDs) among five different professional groups, which included hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, environmental cleaning staff, and undergraduate medical students. The FGD guide included the following topics: (1) opinion about the status of cleanliness, (2) concepts and actual practices prevailing of hospital environmental hygiene, (3) Barriers, constraints, and problems in maintaining hospital environmental hygiene, (4) Suggestions for improvements. The data were analyzed manually using the content (thematic) analysis method. Results: Two themes were identified: Theme 1: “Prevailing practices and problems related to hospital surface/object contamination and hospital infection control”. Theme 2: “Measures suggested for improving hospital cleanliness within the existing constraints”. The participants emphasized the influence of resource constraints and needed inputs. They brought up the consequent prevailing practices and problems related, on one hand, to various stakeholders (service consumers, hospital personnel including the management), on the other, to specific infection prevention and control processes. They also suggested various measures for improvement. Conclusions: The study has revealed prevailing practices, problems, and suggested measures related to hospital environmental hygiene, particularly hospital cleanliness and HAI prevention and control processes. These insights and assertions are important for developing future behavioral and structural interventions in resource-limited settings. This study recommends a nationwide reliable HAI surveillance system and a robust infection prevention and control program in each health-care institution.
