The article analyses the results of the study of interpersonal trust among students. It was determined that interpersonal trust is viewed ambiguously by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. National scientists indicate the importance of interpersonal trust in the formation of partnership relations, conflict-free interpersonal interaction. Foreign studies emphasize the social nature of interpersonal trust, which is manifested only in the relationship of an individual. Structural components of interpersonal trust are cognitive, emotional and behavioural. Emphasis is placed on the socio-psychological and personal characteristics of subjects of interpersonal trust. It is noted that the level of subjective control, sociability, optimism, tolerance, reliability, the level of the individual's trust in himself, and his psycho-emotional state belong to the personal factors that influence the willingness of the individual to trust. The study was conducted on the basis of Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University. 79 freshmen took part in it. It has been empirically determined that first-year students of future psychologists have a significantly lower level of interpersonal trust than average. The level of self-confidence tends to be average, the external level of the locus of control prevails. The most dissatisfied areas are personal achievements, health, the quality of communication with loved ones, internal and external support, and the ability to self-control. Factor analysis made it possible to single out four factors (psychological well-being, internality in learning, achievement, self-realization), which, in our opinion, reflect different aspects of interpersonal trust in first-year students of future psychologists. The conducted research allows us to state that students who experience psychological well-being, are responsible, are focused on their own strengths, take responsibility for successes and failures in learning, are focused on achievements and self-realization, have a higher level of interpersonal trust.

Background Virtual patients commonly train students in clinical competence in nursing education. This review aimed to evaluate the sample characteristics and sampling method, technological design of the virtual patients, duration of simulation methods, comparison methods used in control groups, outcomes of simulation interventions, and quality of the included randomized controlled studies. Methods Five databases were searched using English-language keywords between 1995 and 2019. The Turkish Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies was used to evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials. Of the 4235 studies identified, 10 randomized controlled trials reporting virtual patients in nursing education were reviewed. Results The total number of participants in the review was 787. The virtual patient methods used in all studies differed. The duration was different in all the studies. Standardized patients, traditional education, facilitated mannequin-based simulation, written descriptions of the skills, low-, medium-, and high-fidelity simulation, and virtual simulation without training methods were used in the control groups for the comparison. Six studies indicated that virtual patients increased students’ knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, self-confidence, nursing competencies, and satisfaction levels in clinical practice, while four studies found no significant difference between the groups. The quality was poor in four of 10 studies, moderate in two of 10 studies, and strong in four of 10 studies. Conclusions This study demonstrated that the virtual patient methods used in studies varied in terms of technological design. The duration of simulation in the studies varied from less than 30 minutes to more than two months. The virtual patients could improve knowledge, skill acquisition, self-efficacy, self-confidence, and nursing competency compared with low-fidelity simulation, didactic education, no-intervention, or no-education studies.

The Influence of Trump�s Leadership Style on American Foreign Policy During Covid-19 Pandemic

Scholars argue that Trump�s character and experience influence American foreign policy during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. His controversial policy can be seen from his reopening of America agenda at a time when the situation was not conducive yet, the rejection to join COVAX, confrontational behavior toward WHO and China, the reduction of international engagement with the European Union to address COVID-19. This article examines how Trump�s leadership style influenced American foreign policy during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It mainly uses psychobiography and content analysis as complementary methodologies. This article found that Trump is a predominant leader with a more goal-driven style. He is a leader who likes to challenge constraints, is closed to information, and is achievement-motivated, with an expansionist type. His personalities of high level of dominance, high self-confidence, emotional, ambitious and aggressiveness shaped his foreign policy to be inconsistent and unpredictable during the pandemic.
