What works in global health partnerships? Reflections on a Nigerian-German project collaboration

Abstract Background Global health partnerships for project implementation is a frequent way to address health challenges. Bringing stakeholders from different disciplines, professions, settings and countries together provides opportunity to look at health challenges from different perspectives, develop suitable ideas to tackle them and leverage diverse capacities. Problem In such diverse partnerships, cultural norms, practical realities and institutional practices create challenges for the development of good and equitable relationships. Methods In our project collaboration between the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the German Robert Koch Institute on developing and implementing trainings in infection prevention and control, we demonstrated how a partnership can function. The collaboration followed a participatory approach and was informed by the following principles: - Plan, revise, adapt and implement all project activities as well as its contents participatorily; - A well-coordinated teamwork is key to facilitate operational performance; - Consider everyone as expert in its own domain of influence; - Constant and inclusive communication: maintaining transparency on all aspects and steps both in contents and organization and applying non-violent communication and active listening; - Provide space for reflection on roles and functions and for open discussion on needs and misunderstandings; - Appreciate team work as constantly evolving process of interaction and learning. Results We built a strong resilient team and could leverage team diversity to deliver on project objectives with exceptional quality, adaptability in a highly complex and frequently changing implementation setting. Lessons Working across cultures, disciplines, professions and countries means to develop a joint communication language and an understanding of the other. It is challenging and dynamic, requires additional space/time and attention, but offers personal growth and self-realization. Key messages • Using a participatory approach in teams can leverage team diversity to deliver on project objectives and bring about a high professional and personal self-realization. • There are concrete implementable ways of teamwork in international interdisciplinary global health collaborations that enhance quality of results in complex implementation settings.

Motivational determinants of athletes’ self-realisation depending on their professional qualification

BackgroundIn the contemporary era, there is a growing emphasis on understanding the self-realization of personality, encompassing individual-psychological traits, abilities, knowledge, skills, and motivation, extensively studied in psychology. Notably, limited attention has been given to exploring motivational determinants influencing athlete self-realization based on their professional qualifications. This gap is particularly pertinent in Kazakhstan, where significant efforts are directed towards athlete preparation.MethodsEmploying a systemic approach by Bagadirova and Kudinov, the study views athlete self-realization as a multi-level phenomenon with interconnected components. A total of 180 athletes participated, including 60 professionals (average age 23.9), 60 amateurs (average age 31.1), and 60 Paralympians (average age 24.4). The methodological toolkit comprises four diagnostic techniques: E.A. Kalinin’s “Motives of Sports Activities” (MSA) questionnaire, S. Maddi’s resilience test adapted by D.A. Leontiev and E.I. Rasskazova, and S.I. Kudinov’s multidimensional questionnaire on self-realization.ResultsSignificant differences in motivational determinants and self-realization attitudes emerge across athlete groups based on their sports qualifications. Noteworthy aspects include declining in motivation among professional athletes of masters of sports and masters of sports of international class, and rigidity in life resilience among Paralympic athletes. Overall, self-realization levels are not high, with extremely low levels of professional self-realization in all three athlete categories.ConclusionsThe study’s scientific novelty lies in systematically organizing knowledge on fundamental motivational determinants impacting athlete self-realization according to professional qualifications. This research addresses the acute shortage of psychological studies in sports psychology for Kazakhstan, which is still in its early stages. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions by coaches and sports psychologists to enhance motivation levels, especially among elite athletes, and foster resilience, particularly in Paralympic athletes, ultimately advancing the field in the country.

“The right to die”? On voluntary retirement and related obligations of the state. A study based on the law enforcement practice of the Highest Courts of Germany and the ECHR

The article examines the problems of the “right to death” – a constitutional and legal guarantee that recognizes the right of a person to end his own life at his discretion. This issue was initially considered as a downside, a kind of negative dimension of the right to life (Part 2 of Article 2 of the Basic Law of Germany). However, the focus has changed over time; the discussion is currently being conducted in the context of the right to personal self-determination. Within the framework of this article, the analysis is carried out on the basis of the law enforcement practice of the highest courts of Germany and the European Court of Human Rights. The point of contact of the German courts can be considered the recognition of the right to voluntary retirement as an act of individual self-expression, the realization of personal choice. The legal structure of the right to personal self-determination presupposes the establishment of a close connection between the right to general freedom of action (Part 1 of Article 2 of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany) and the guarantee of human dignity in accordance with Part 1 of Article 1 of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany. At the same time, the counterargument is not considered convincing, according to which the recognition of the “right to death” entails the impossibility of further personal self-realization and therefore contradicts the “life-affirming” spirit of the Basic Law, expressed, in particular, in part 2 of Article 2, since the very realization of the desire to end life is considered as an act of self-realization, which falls under constitutional protection. This constitutional and legal concept, developed by the Constitutional Court of the Federal Republic of Germany, is shared by the rest of the highest judicial instances of Germany, which complement it, in particular, by establishing state obligations to assist persons who wish to voluntarily end their own lives. The European Court of Human Rights has not yet had the opportunity to express its position on this issue, however, trends in the development of its law enforcement practice indicate that it is likely sooner or later to join the legal line of the German courts. The author identifies the argumentative shortcomings of the fundamental prerequisites for justifying the right to voluntary retirement, demonstrating not only their internal inconsistency, but also the inadmissibility of the consequences that state support for suicidal aspirations of citizens will lead to.

SUBSTANTIATION OF THE IMPACT OF SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS ON THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The article examines the theoretical and applied foundations of the impact of socio-cultural factors on the modern business environment under the influence of external and internal factors. The article shows the two-aspect relationship between the macroeconomic and microeconomic environments in the context of taking into account the socio-cultural impact on them. Based on the analysis of approaches to the concept and structure of the socio-cultural component of a business entity, the author offers her own vision of its main elements: organizational (corporate) and managerial culture; motivation; communication; diversity, equality and inclusiveness (DEI). Accordingly, the main directions of research on the socio-cultural factors of the business environment are highlighted and ways of their implementation in the domestic space are proposed. The least researched in Ukrainian science and domestic practice are issues related to the formation of a managerial culture that takes into account diversity, equality and inclusiveness. The necessity of an in-depth study of motivation and communication as important socio-cultural factors is substantiated. This is primarily due to the change in priorities during the military aggression of the rf in favor of the needs for protection, psychological, physical and mental health, opportunities for professional and personal self-realization, etc. Communication processes in a business environment are designed to focus on an individualistic approach to each employee with an appropriate reward system based on their needs and motivations. The socio-cultural factors proposed by us in their interaction most fully correspond to the current global and domestic trends in the functioning of the business environment on the basis of adaptation and innovation management. In the context of searching for ways of post-war recovery of Ukraine and its sustainable development in the system of global partnership, the need to form a professional management system capable of managing the socio-cultural component of an enterprise to increase its success and competitiveness is actualized. Priorities for further research and ways to introduce socio-cultural factors into the domestic business environment are substantiated. The author proves the necessity of improving the management of an economic entity on the basis of formation of a professional management system, in which an employee is considered as a personality and the highest value capable of self-realization, quality of teamwork, and ensuring the competitive advantages of an enterprise in the real business environment.

Педагогическая практика как условие нормализации психологического самочувствия личности студента

The research aims to substantiate the essence and structure of the notion of a student’s personal psychological well-being in relation to future teachers in the process of practice. The paper analyzes the notion of “personal psychological well-being” and substantiates the author’s definition of the notion of “a student’s personal psychological well-being in the process of teaching practice”, which is an integral and dynamic characteristic of an individual, reflecting the internal psychological state of each student in the process of teaching practice, revealing a student’s self-perception of their own professional achievements as the basis of their social and professional self-determination. A system of criteria and their detailed indicators for the manifestation of personal psychological well-being among teacher students in the process of teaching practice (the cognitive criterion, the emotional criterion, the personal criterion) is proposed. The methodology of a pilot study is described and the results of such a study involving undergraduate students are analyzed. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the following: a new direction for the development of models, content and methodological support for students’ teaching practice is substantiated from the standpoint of changes in their psychological well-being. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the inclusion of the context of reflective-innovative activity in the content of practice, the activation of self-analysis and self-development mechanisms in students in the process of practical training contribute to the normalization of psychological well-being among teacher students, increasing the sense of confidence in the correctness of their professional actions and personal self-realization.

Якість трудового життя молоді України в умовах трансформаційних змін

The aim of the article is to determine the directions, content and instruments for developing the quality of working life of young people in the context of transformational changes. The understanding of the concept of «youth», its age characteristics and approaches of different sciences are reflected. For instance, sociological science considers young people as a sociocultural group; political scientists consider young people to be an innovative resource for the development of society and the country, and psychologists argue that young people are a group with inherent psycho-physical features of growing up. The key components of the quality of life of modern youth are substantiated – it is proposed to include both objective (satisfaction of personal needs, biological and social factors) and subjective (satisfaction with one’s own working life) components. The youth legislation and the foundations of the State youth policy in our country are considered, which allows us to understand the level of development of relations between the State and society in terms of the impact on improving the quality of life of young workers in general and the quality of working life in particular. An analysis of the results of the survey on the problems of youth in modern conditions is carried out: the biggest problems were the lack of health and a decrease in the level of labor income. Income is the most effective instrument for the use of labor potential and, accordingly, a factor in providing opportunities for development and self-realization of a young person both in social and labor aspects. Among other problems, physical security and reduced opportunities for labor self-realization were also noted. The key trends in the labor market and transformations of social and labor relations under the influence of martial law are indicated, as young people are looking for work and act mostly in the same labor market as other categories of the population, and also are affected by general changes. On the basis of the considered statistical data and studies of Ukrainian scientists, it is found that there is a negative dynamics of the quality of working life of young people in most sectors of employment (with the exception of the IT sphere and some other areas of activity). Objective problems of the quality of working life of young people are: a decrease in the level of income, shadow employment, the inability to fully implement government measures to support young people due to martial law, and many others. Measures to stabilize the quality of working life of young people under martial law and its improvement in the post-war period of Ukraine’s recovery are proposed, the implementation of which is possible with the cooperation of the State, business, society and young workers.

Freedom as a Key Value of the Volunteer Movement

Purpose of the article is to find out the main content and ways of embodying freedom as a value of the volunteer movement in the context of analyzing the social motivation of human behavior in general. Theoretical basis. The theoretical basis of the research is the philosophical and anthropological understanding of freedom as a person’s creative overcoming of obstacles to establish his or her eccentric essence. Such a vision is embedded, in particular, in Karl Jaspers’ philosophy of existence, Helmuth Plessner’s philosophy of positioning in the world, and Paul Ricœur’s philosophy of rational choice of life path. Originality. The importance of freedom as a value, as well as other social values, is revealed and specified through the analysis of the values of the volunteer movement. In the desire of people engaged in volunteer work to achieve freedom through other values, the content of freedom as a basis for self-reproduction of the individual, community and society is revealed. Conclusions. Representatives of various humanities and social sciences have distinct research interests in analyzing the values inherent in volunteers. As members of a certain society and certain communities in this society, volunteers do not act outside the economy, politics and other spheres of public life, but reveal their freedom through creative and non-standard solutions to economic, political, and other problems. At the same time, research psychologists focus attention on the personal self-realization of a person, theorists and practitioners of social work study volunteers’ desire to gain recognition from peers and other small social groups, and representatives of sociology, political science and other social sciences focus their attention on such socially significant values of volunteering as patriotism, solidarity, etc. The task of social philosophy is to justify the desire to contribute to the public good, which is common to all volunteers. Representatives of philosophical anthropology look for the best social intentions inherent in a person as a member of society in volunteering. Analysis of the values of volunteering as a motivator of human behavior provides knowledge of socially significant values inherent in every member of society to a greater or lesser extent.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SPORTS MOTIVATION AND PECULIARITIES OF SELF-REALIZATION AMONG KAZAKHSTAN ATHLETES

Athletes’ true self-realization depends on the degree of mobilization of personal resources, particularly the motivational ones, which act as long-term regulators of athletes’ activity. The optimal management of motivation at each stage of the sporting career, both in elite and amateur sports, predetermines athletes’ self-realization to a great extent. The aim of the research was to examine the motivational determinants, resilience and self-realization components and their specificity among elite athletes, amateurs, and para-Olympians. The research was conducted among 180 athletes: 60 elite athletes, 60 amateurs, and 60 para-Olympians. For the purposes of the study, we used: Questionnaire for researching the motives of sports activity, Tropnikov; Questionnaire “Motives of Sports activity”(MSA), Kalinin, adapted by Y. Krasmik (2022); Psychic Resistance Test, Muddy, adapted by D. A. Leontiev and E. I. Raskazova; Multidimensional questionnaire on personality self-realization, Kudinov. The results revealed different motivational profiles of elite athletes, amateur athletes, and para-Olympians and a specific hierarchy of motives. The level of self-realization of the athletes belonging to the three groups corresponds to the adaptive one. The established differences showed a higher level of self-realization in the group of elite athletes.

Особенности личностно-профессиональной самореализации педагогов-психологов

The relevance of the research is determined by the increasing role of a teaching and learning psychologist in the educational process, as well as the need for a teaching and learning psychologist to meet the requirements of the modern education system. The purpose of the research is to study the types of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists, as well as the psychological predictors of such self-realization. The article puts forward the hypothesis that there are characteristic types of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists, whose predictors are the parameters of the motivational and semantic sphere, and instrumental and stylistic characteristics of the personality, as well as indicators of self-regulation and emotional stability. Participants: teaching and learning psychologists (N=164) of educational institutions in Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region, including women (N = 150) and men (N = 14), aged 25 to 60 years; 32.4% have job experience of more than 10 years, 23.2% – from 5 to 10 years, 44.4% – less than 5 years. Methods (tools): Multidimensional Questionnaire of Personality Self-realization (S. I. Kudinov) was used to identify the features of self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists, Life Orientations Test (D. A. Leontiev) was used to identify the parameters of the motivational and semantic sphere, Resilience Test (E. N. Osin, E. I. Rasskazova) and Questionnaire of Volitional Self-control (A. G. Zverkov, E. V. Eidman) were used to study instrumental and stylistic characteristics and indicators of emotional stability, the technique of professional identity analysis (L. B. Schneider) was used to assess the parameters of professional development. Life Satisfaction Scale (E. Dinner adapted by D. A. Leontiev, E. N. Osin) and diagnostic methods of subjective well-being of the individual (R. M. Shamionov, T. V. Beskova) were used to assess the success of personal and professional self-realization. Results: the research has identified the characteristic types of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists differing in the degrees of manifestation of its structural components: “positive”, “negative”, “imaginary” and “prospective”. Based on the three general factors: “life awareness”, “active life position” and “crisis of professional development”, the author has suggested the empirically confirmed models of how psychological characteristics and types of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists are interrelated. The article also describes the predictors of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists. Main conclusions: the article has clarified the features of personal and professional self-realization of teaching and learning psychologists as subjects of educational relations; additionally, the study has identified the role of personal characteristics (motivational-semantic, instrumental-stylistic, emotional, resource) in achieving personal and professional self-realization, when the latter is the foundation of the subjective well-being and life satisfaction of teaching and learning psychologists in the conditions of modern transformations in the education system. The results of the study can be used to develop programs for personal and professional development, prevention of crises of professional development, psychological support of teaching and learning psychologist at different stages of their professional paths and personal growth.
