Well-Being As a Component Of Subjective Health Assessment In Students

Introduction. The effectiveness of professional education in students largely depends on subjective health assessments such as well-being, which affects psychological resistance in stressful situations and unusual conditions; prevention of maladjustment, neurotic disorders, and abnormal stress responses, and adaptability. Identification of aspects indicating decline in well-being (sleep-wake disorders, weakness of volition; autonomic dysfunction, and emotional dysregulation; signs of addiction; physical fatigue and mental exhaustion; psychological fatigue and lack of energy; fears and anxiety) is aimed at being the basis for a new program on mental health promotion and mental disorder prevention. Purpose. The goal was to determine the main aspects of well-being as a component of subjective health assessment in students. Methods and materials. A total of 712 adult students from Moscow universities participated in the study on a voluntary basis. In order to identify sleep-wake disorders, autonomic dysfunction and emotional dysregulation, signs of addiction, psychological fatigue and lack of energy, anxiety, and fears, the participants were provided with two questionnaires: “Mood is health,” elaborated by G. S. Odinokov, and “Symptomatic questionnaire of well-being,” developed by A. Volkov and N. E. Vodopyanova. Then, the data were processed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and the Chaddock–Snedecor scale. Results. It was revealed that the level of well-being as a component of subjective health assessment in students was above-average. There was an average level of sleep-wake disorders, emotional dysregulation, psychological fatigue and lack of energy, anxiety and fears, as well as a below-average level of weakness of volition, autonomic dysfunction and signs of addiction. A strong correlation between the total and final results of well-being aspects and sleep-wake disorders, weakness of volition, autonomic dysfunction and emotional dysregulation, signs of addiction, psychological fatigue and lack of energy, fears and anxiety indicates that the lower these components, the higher the well-being.

Методические основы оценки готовности университета к внедрению цифровых технологий

The effectiveness of professional education substantially depends on the wide use of digital technologies and products in the educational process. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of these technologies largely depends, on the one hand, on the readiness of the digital educational environment, and on the other hand, on the level of digital literacy and the competence of the teachers. So, it is necessary to develop a methodology for assessing the level of preparation of the university for digitalization, the purpose of which is to provide a unified approach to the assessment of the educational information environment and the factors providing it in the educational process, as well as to remove obstacles to the effective implementation of educational programmes and services using digital technologies and products. The analysis of the existing methods has shown that they assess the level of the digital development of various sectors of the economy and society in general, but do not affect the educational system or evaluate the digitalization of the educational process only from the technical point of view. 
 Taking into account all the above-mentioned circumstances, the authors propose to evaluate the readiness of universities for digitalization of the educational process on the basis of the analysis of the factors directly affecting the digitalization of the educational process, such as: digital transformation of the educational environment of the university and the level of preparation of the teachers for the work in the digital environment.

Expanding the foundation of occupational therapy educational research – A Canadian initiative

ABSTRACTIn the health professions, it is important to recognise and embrace research that focuses on both the art and the science of education. The occupational therapy literature contains a small and largely descriptive pool of research regarding educational practices. The unsystematic use (or non-use) of research to inform educational practices compromises the quality and effectiveness of professional education. This paper describes a national strategy undertaken in Canada to profile the state of research activity in occupational therapy education, initiate an action plan to address underlying barriers, and build a community of educational researchers. Recommendations are provided for an international response targeted at mobilising broad-based collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Мониторинг уровня достижений обучающихся, как показатель качества профессионального образования

On the basis of the analysis of the generalized, private, special and marked out results received during monitoring optimum expansion of quantitative and qualitative criteria, the humanitarian and natural-science methods of a research providing a combination and comparison of the results received by various researches is off ered. The need of introduction of new criteria is proved. The useful recommendations submitted on a solution of the problem of formation of the procedure of monitoring of level of achievements of students as indicator of quality of education are off ered. The importance of work consists in a possibility of synthesis of experience for the purpose of use of secondary professional education by educational institutions.

Attitudes of entry level occupational therapy doctoral students towards inclusion for students with disabilities

Background/Aims: The increasing popularity of inclusive education for students with disabilities and the attitudes towards it inevitably affect school‐based occupational therapy practice. This survey study investigated the attitudes of entry‐level occupational therapy doctoral (EOTD) students towards inclusive education and the effect of professional education on their perception. Methods: A total of 62 EOTD students responded to a self‐developed questionnaire, Attitudes and Inclusive Education Survey, yielding a response rate of 91.2%.Results: Results of the study revealed that entry level occupational therapy doctoral students have positive attitudes towards inclusive education and believe that the inclusion movement has an inevitable impact on school‐based occupational therapy practice. Professional education in occupational therapy might positively affect students’ attitudes. Conclusion: Given the close association between one's attitude and behaviour, the findings of the study are particularly encouraging. Future research needs to further examine school‐based occupational therapy practice in inclusive environments.

Exploring the Effects of Professional Education on Salespeople: The Case of Autonomous Agents

This study explored the effects of professional training on the moral development and performance of salespeople. A sample of real estate sales agents and brokers from three states was used. Surveys were distributed at regional and local sales meetings. Results indicate that professional education impacts both cognitive moral development and industry-specific moral reasoning. Moreover, professional education also impacts performance measures such as income and professional tenure. One conclusion is that professional training, in addition to enhancing the likely success of real estate practitioners, can also enhance their moral reasoning skills.

The effect of professional education on the knowledge and attitudes of physical therapist and occupational therapist students about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Anxiety and fear about caring for people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are concerns expressed by students in health care professions. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of education offered to physical therapist (PT) and occupational therapist (OT) students on their knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to provide services to people with AIDS. Twenty-six undergraduate PT students and 23 undergraduate OT students completed a questionnaire at the beginning of their professional education program, following a 5-hour AIDS education seminar, and shortly before their graduation. The questionnaire consisted of 3 subscales designed to evaluate the respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to treat people with AIDS. At the time of graduation, the students in both disciplines showed improvement in knowledge about AIDS (14.3% for PT students and 13.8% for OT students) and more positive attitudes toward people with AIDS (7.4% for PT students and 5% for OT students). In both disciplines, the students' willingness to provide services for people with AIDS remained unchanged following the AIDS education seminar and at the end of the professional education program. The professional education offered to the cohort of students in this study appeared to be beneficial in improving their knowledge and attitudes toward people with AIDS, but it did not affect their willingness to work with this patient group.

The effects of professional education on values and the resolution of ethical dilemmas: Business school vs. law school students

Prior research on the impact of ethics education within the business curriculum has yielded mixed results. Although the impact is often found to be positive, it appears to be both small and short-lived. Interpretation of these results, however, is subject to important methodological limitations. The present research employed a longitudinal methodology to evaluate the impact of an M.B.A. program versus a law program on the values and ethical decision making behavior of a cohort of students at two major universities in the northeast. The results suggest that the M.B.A. curriculum remains a value-neutral experience for most students. In contrast, the law school program had a significant impact on both values and ethical decision making.

Hygienist employment and the presence of periodontal notations in general dental practice patient records

Available data suggest that the provision of periodontally related services in general dental practices is low. However, studies indicate that the employment of dental hygienists is associated with increased provision. One method of measuring is by examination of notations in patient treatment records. As part of a project assessing the effectiveness of professional education in changing the provision of periodontal services, 2280 records, comprising 60 randomly selected records of dentate adult patients who had received a dental examination in the previous 6 months were audited in each of 38 practices, 13 of which employed hygienists. Entries of a periodontal nature were classified under 3 categories: diagnostic, preventive and treatment. The presence or absence of each item on each record was recorded. Diagnostic services were notated infrequently overall, but practices employing hygienists had a significantly lower number of records with no diagnostic notations. Preventive items were more frequently notated in practices employing hygienists. Treatment items were most frequently notated in both types of practices. Overall, 13 of the 23 items were recorded significantly more frequently in practices employing hygienists.

A Nursing Committee and the Code for Nurses

handicap can be considered a learned disability, since it seems to be a latent effect of professional education. It can be considered an occupational hazard since it is reinforced by the patterns of professional work. Additionally, definitions of a profession, inherited from the Enlightenment, seem to nourish a sense of professional accountability in which the lines of critical self-examination turn inward
