There is an increasing tendency to adopt biopsychosocial approach to teaching how to care for patients. Participation in Balint’s groups is used to train students in communication and building relations with patients. Aim: To identify positive and negative aspects of participation in Balint’s groups, which are a part of compulsory training for students.Methods: 70 medical students, who took part in the study, filled in a questionnaire specifically developed for students participating in Balint’s group. The questionnaire consisted of three open questions. The answers were collected and then analyzed by way of qualitative analysis of text and factorial analysis Results: The results suggest that Balint’s method can be difficult for medical students because they have not practiced  building therapeutic relations with patients. Nevertheless, most students benefit from training in terms of personal development, awareness of mechanisms influencing patients – doctor communication and satisfaction with participation in classes.    Conclusion:  Balint’s Workshops is a useful method of teaching which influences medical student’s self – reflection because they become aware of the necessity of personality development.

The role of the family in providing a quality education program is important for all students. For students with special educational needs, however, the role of the family is particularly critical. In such families, there can be an increased amount of stress and, at the same time, a range of coping strategies evolving. Research into the ways that families cope with stress uses various life quality indicators (e.g., emotional, physical and material well-being, interpersonal relations, personal development, self-determination or social inclusion) to evaluate the effectiveness of these coping mechanisms. The role of the family (with specific focus on its links with schools) is often overlooked, yet is crucial to attaining long-term benefits for the student.

The article analyzes the conditions that promote and prevent developing preschool education. The concept of "development" and its irreducibility to learning are considered. The necessity of a holistic approach to development, as opposed to the development of subject areas, is emphasized. As a key concept that defines integrity, the concept of “personality” is proposed. It is shown that personality development manifests itself and is carried out primarily in the initiative independent actions of a child. Initiative in different types of children's activities is considered as the main indicator of personal development. As the main form manifestation of initiative, the play is considered. The role of play in personality development and the consequences of its deficiency are discussed. Excessive concern for safety and order in kindergarten groups is also cited as reasons inhibiting the child’s activity. In conclusion, conditions are formulated that promote and impede developing preschool education.

Background: Reflection is needed by the doctor in interpreting his experience, realizing its limitations so that it will be lifelong learning. In medical learning, self reflection can motivate students to realize their limitations and learn better. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of students in reflection learning. Methods: the research method uses a qualitative type with the research subjects being 15 first-year medical students. Reflection is taught at the beginning of education and is practiced in innovation design courses by providing weekly writing self-reflection assignments. The experience of writing self reflection was explored through group interviews (FGD) and in-depth interviews. Open questions are given to students, the results of interviews are verbatim and coding. This study has obtained ethical clearance.Results: the results of the study were divided into 5 themes: perception, self-awareness, future improvement, rules, and other. Participants expressed pleasure in self-reflection, useful for self-reflection, and future improvement. Future improvements vary from no change to the change in perspective and even change in action, which is more disciplined. Rules for a minimum number of words in self-reflection assignments are things are not fun to participants and can make writing blindly. The frequency of writing self-reflection carried out every week is felt to burden the participants. Other draw on participants' statements regarding activities to write reflections that are felt to be useful as part of learning as a writer.Conclusion: learners' perceptions of reflection learning are fun and useful, but students complain about the rules for reflection assignments so design reflection should relevant and contextual.

В статье обосновывается актуальность исследования проблем медицинского образования в современном обществе, связанная с запросом на получение медицинских услуг высокого качества. В связи с этим авторы обращают внимание на формирование профессиональной психологической готовности студентов медицинских факультетов к деятельности врача, одной из составляющих которой является рефлексивность, играющая большую роль в процессе развития личности, понимания ею самой себя и своей роли в обществе и профессии. Рефлексия медицинского работника рассматривается в контексте так называемого клинического мышления — особого вида профессионального мышления врача, являющегося базой личностно-профессионального развития и обеспечения самосовершенствования личности и повышающего эффективность взаимодействия с пациентами в целом. Представляются результаты экспериментального исследования индивидуальной меры рефлексивности студентов-медиков, осуществленного с использованием методики А. В. Карпова, В. В. Пономаревой, которая позволила определить общий уровень их рефлексивности и способность к ситуативной, ретроспективной, перспективной саморефлексии и рефлексии внутреннего мира других людей. Также применялся качественный анализ написанного студентами эссе на тему «Я — в профессии». Более половины студентов медицинского вуза имеют высокий уровень осознанности профессиональной деятельности, что, по мнению авторов, связано с прохождением ими ежегодной практики в лечебных учреждениях клинической базы Национального исследовательского Мордовского государственного университета имени Н. П. Огарёва (НИМГУ им. Н. П. Огарёва), дающей возможность соприкосновения с профессиональной деятельностью de facto, и реализацией принципа проблемности в процессе преподавания таких клинических дисциплин, как «Пропедевтика внутренних болезней», «Госпитальная терапия», «Госпитальная хирургия», «Инфекционные болезни» и др. The article substantiates the relevance of a research devoted to the issues of medical education in the modern world associated with people’s desire to get high quality medical service. The authors focus on the development of medical students’ social and psychological readiness to vocational activities. One of the components of medical students’ vocational activities is reflection, which plays an essential role in the process of personality development, self-esteem, social and professional realization. Medical workers’ reflection is viewed in the context of the so called clinical thinking, special type of doctors’ professional thinking, a basis of doctors’ professional and personal development, self-improvement aimed at ensuring effective doctor-patient communication. The article presents the results of an experimental research aimed at measuring medical students’ reflection abilities. The researchers used A. V. Karpov and V. V. Ponomareva’s method to identify the general level of students’ reflection abilities and their ability of situational, retrospective, and perspective self-reflection and perception of other people’s inner world. They also employed the qualitative analysis of Me and My Career essays written by medical students. More than half of medical students show a high level of appreciation of professional activities. The authors believe that this can be accounted for by the fact that medical students annually participate in internship programs at National Research Mordovia State University named for N. P. Ogarev, which provides them with a perfect opportunity to appreciate the real pleasures and hardships of their future profession and ensures a better appreciation of such clinical disciplines as Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases, Inhospital Therapy, Inhospital Surgery, Infectious Diseases, etc.

Life in Ukraine has provided people with diversity and possibility in communication with the corresponding increase in intercultural communication. Therefore, foreign language teaching and learning at the universities should not only be instrumental, but it should set a new goal to train students with intercultural communicative competence to meet the needs of our globalized world. The article deals with the role of foreign language communicative competence and the problem of forming foreign language skills in communication that influence on the development of the person in the process of education in higher education institutions. Communicative competence means having ‘a competence to communicate’. The aim of the article is to investigate the level of foreign language communicative competence of the individuals and its impact on personality development. We used such research methods as observation, interview and questionnaire, analysis of the results of communication and teaching of students in a foreign language, the author’s method of determining the level of foreign language mastering, the expert assessments method. The results of our study determined that communicative competence implies the appropriate skills, the formation of which is a prerequisite for learning a foreign language in the educational environment. The results of the experiment allowed us to establish the psychological specificity of the process of mastering a foreign communication. The communicative competence is considered as a factor of personal development in the process of effective mastering of foreign languages. The foreign communicative competence is a recent notion and there is no clear consensus about what it is. Sometimes this term is referred to as global competence, international competence, multicultural competence and so forth.

In this article, we review how we interact with medical students in our efforts to teach blood pressure regulation and systemic cardiovascular control along with related elements of respiratory and exercise physiology. Rather than provide a detailed lecture with key facts, we attempted to outline our approach to teaching integrative cardiovascular physiology to medical students, which includes five major themes. First, focus on questions versus answers and facts. We believe that this offers both the learner and teacher a number of advantages. Second, avoid teaching dogma in the name of clarity (i.e., heavy focus on teaching “facts” that have not yet been fully investigated). This is especially important because of the way knowledge evolves over time. Third, include laboratory-based experiences in human integrative physiology. Fourth, provide students with intellectual frameworks versus a list of “facts” to serve as a platform for question generation. Finally, focus on the role of integration and regulatory redundancy in physiology and the idea that physiology is a narrative that can help. In this article, we discuss the philosophy behind the themes outlined above and argue that questions, and not answers, are where the action is for both research and education.

Abstract Background In Portugal, the consumption of psychotropic drugs, namely benzodiazepines, is almost double the average European consumption. Most of the prescriptions for benzodiazepines (BZD) are carried out by family doctors, since they are doctors more accessible to the general population. Therefore, it is essential to assess the difficulties of family doctors in prescribing and discontinuing BZD in order to understand how to optimize the consumption of these drugs in Portugal. Methods The data were collected through a survey sent to family doctors across the country by email and other digital platforms. The participants were interns and specialists in family medicine and a convenience sample was obtained of 274 physicians. The survey, previously structured, contained three open questions and twenty-five statements to be classified using a Likert scale. For the quantitative analysis, SPSS® program was used and the qualitative analysis was performed using the MAXQDA® data analysis facilitation software. Results Difficulties related to: patient's beliefs/attitudes and doctor-patient communication, means and strategies of prescription and discontinuation, dependence and tolerance, unwanted effects of BZDs, need for BZD and lack of alternatives/resources, doctor-doctor communication and role of the family doctor were identified. Conclusions The qualitative approach used in this study was essential, since the theme of the study is not widely explored in Portugal. An added value of the study is the inclusion of interns in General and Family Medicine. Studies are suggested that deepen these topics and allow the development of appropriate strategies to optimize the process of BZD (de)prescription.

The way the communicative method functions in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian foreign students of medical specialties has been little studied, and that determines the relevance of this topic. It has been found that there is a controversy in scientific thought concerning the role of both communicative and grammar components of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Moreover, modern textbooks do not provide sufficient exercises to develop professional communication. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of the communicative method in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian (as a foreign language), and to develop appropriate exercises and tasks. The conclusion is that in the process of learning to communicate in a foreign language, it is important for students to present and master grammatical material. Samples of tasks and exercises aimed at developing the communicative and grammar competence of foreign medical students in professional communication are presented.
