Building a New Ideology in the conditions of a Transitional State-Legal System (the Case Study of the Russian Republic in February — October 1917)

The paper presents the author’s point of view regarding the spiritual sphere of Russian society, changes in which were caused by the crisis resulting from the revolutionary events of February 1917, and the related experience of building a new ideology in the conditions of the transitional state law system in the Russian state in March-October 1917. The author, based on the study of a wide range of sources, critically analyzed this experience and made a number of conclusions: such construction in the conditions of permanent spiritual crisis was difficult and it was conditioned by a set of factors, namely, political, socio-economic, cultural-religious, etc. The author’s analysis of this experience was based on the study of a wide range of sources. The state of a state law anomie, that can rightly be considered one of the characteristic features of the transitional state-legal system, was the result of a deep spiritual, religious, ideological, cultural conflict that emerged, starting from the first days of the formation of the «new» Russian state, and the resulting spiritual vacuum and situation of ideological and religious uncertainty. The changing position of the Russian Orthodox Church in relation to the new bourgeois government and its reformist plans due to the political situation also contributed to the deepening of the spiritual crisis in Russian post-revolutionary society. The emphatically indifferent position of the Russian clergy towards the Provisional Government once again emphasized the unpopularity of its decisions in the eyes of society, deprived its projects of ideological support. Thus, this contributed to the loss of the government’s authority among the population. Under such conditions, all attempts of the central government to form a new post-revolutionary bourgeois-republican ideology were unsuccessful.

Theology as a factor of sociocultural development of society in the works of ‘Ata’ Allah Bayazitov

The article attempts to determine the role and historical significance of the innovative views of ‘Ata’ Allah Bayazitov (1846–1911) in the development of the cultural potential of the Tatar people. The author draws attention to the time and essence of innovations in traditional Russian Muslim society. A number of Tatar intellectuals laid down approaches and methods that met scientific requirements, tools suitable for discussing a new understanding and interaction of theological and philosophical knowledge. Innovators proposed new concepts of the theory of knowledge, aimed at revealing religious thought in its modern understanding: such as confidence in the human mind, the primacy of man, the immanence of God. Through understanding a number of conceptual issues of Islamic Theology, Tatar educational theologians developed methods for overcoming the ideological problems of the Muslim community. This, in turn, made it possible to lay the foundations for building a state-confessional dialogue. The author concludes that the paradigm of thinking built by the innovators was the need to implement divine instructions in social and production activities, and not just in the spiritual sphere. This is the key to the development of the cognitive function and the decisive criterion in the search for truth. Thus, we can observe the process of transformation of Theology from the medieval science of God into the modern science of faith.

THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE FORMATION OF SPIRITUAL CULTURE IN FUTURE TEACHERS OF ARTISTS

The problem of spirituality, spiritual culture and their role in the formation of the creative personality of student youth is quite relevant. The process of forming spirituality is an important aspect of the modern humane educational paradigm. According to the scientific community, it is spirituality that expresses the degree of "humanization" of the pedagogical process. Questions of spirituality have interested humanity at all times and have been studied by many sciences: philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, sociology, ethics, aesthetics, etc. In the New Ukrainian School Program in the Progress to Values, it is stated that now it is important to intensify efforts to raise the spiritual level of Ukrainian youth, to form a stable system of deep moral and spiritual values in them. The purpose of the article is to describe the concept of spiritual culture and the formation of artistic ideas in future teachers during the study of Ukrainian folk art. Analysis, synthesis and modeling methods were used to study the state of research. The results of our research was carried out with the help of empirical methods: pedagogical observation, questionnaires, interviews, testing, the method of experimental evaluations. Mathematical statistics methods were used to process the research results. In the research, we used a complex of general scientific and pedagogical methods. To ensure an objective and comprehensive study of the researched phenomenon, an analysis of scientific, scientific-methodical, and art sources was carried out; the state of development of the problem and prospects for further research were determined; generalization of pedagogical experience in teaching art in a higher education institution. The formation of a spiritual personality takes place in the interconnected process of education and training. An important role in the formation of the spiritual sphere of the individual belongs to education. Its tasks are classified according to the following directions: formation of a scientific outlook; education of a conscious attitude to learning, development of cognitive activity and culture of mental work; education of political consciousness and development of civic activity; education of a creative attitude to work, preparation for a conscious choice of profession; education of morality and culture of behavior; formation of legal awareness and education of civil responsibility; education of aesthetic culture and development of artistic abilities, etc.

Ethnolinguistic Bonds in the Speech of the Don and Ukrainian Dialects of the Volgograd Region

The article substantiates a comprehensive approach to defining the concept of ethnolinguistic bonds, characterizes the connection with the subject, the object of research within the framework of the problem posed, which is relevant for the anthropocentric paradigm of scientific knowledge. Taking into consideration the methodological principles developed in cultural-and-linguistic dialectology and ethnolinguistics, on the basis of the analysis carried out upon the facts extracted from the recordings of the Volgograd region inhabitants’ speech the author’s vision of the extralinguistic and intralinguistic foundations of the concept under consideration is presented; its definition is proposed. The integrative techniques of ethno-linguistic unity fixation are described. They are manifested by the Don and Ukrainian dialects speakers (and their descendants) in the means, which comprise the peculiarities of dialect speakers’ lexicon (monolingual and bilingual, monoethnors and biethnors) observed on the territories of mixed residence shared by the Don Cossacks and Ukrainian settlers and their descendants. These lexical bonds are classified. They are shown to reflect indirectly the universally significant realia of the surrounding world (people, objects, phenomena, processes and signs), as well as the traditions, represented in the collective cultural and historical heritage of the Slavic ethnic groups in the material and spiritual spheres of life on the territories of mixed residence. The peculiarities of interdialectal interaction in the formed speech continuum of the poly-Slavic society, who perceive themselves as Russian people, are determined.

Economic paradigms, public ethics, socio-economic institutions: dynamics and relationships

The article studies the relationship between ethics and economics in the context of current system’s functioning of the most important social institutions. The purpose of the study is to theoretically analyze the relation between the economic and ethical structure of society and to develop recommendations for the practical application of the results ща designing a strategy for the country's socio-economic development. The research is based on the principles of the systems approach, space-time analysis and the methodology of systemic socio-economic theory. The structure of economic paradigms is compared to the structure of ethical paradigms. The conclusion is made about their mutual conditionality and influence on the type of social structure. The dual nature of the relationship between economics and ethics is substantiated. This duality is manifested in the separation of the subject of economics and ethics in systemic terms: if the economic subjects are the processes aimed at mastering the forces of nature, then the subjects of ethics are the processes aimed at improving the system of intra-societal relations. Economics in society is comprehensive, while ethics has the property of widespread penetration into the consciousness of economic subjects. The economic and ethical spheres all together determine the structure and functions of socio-economic space-time. Strengthening the institution of reputation contributes to the dissemination and consolidation of traditional values and raising the ethical level of society. It is necessary to represent it in the strategy of the country's socio-economic development along with target guidelines for economic dynamics, as well as the desired state of the spiritual sphere of the population and generally accepted principles of ethical behavior. The possibilities of applying ethical principles in solving the problems of location and development of productive forces in the country are explored.

THE ISSUES OF MEDIEVAL RITUAL OAKS IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER DNIEPER BASIN

In 2023 the abstracts of N. Khamayko, O. Pashkovsky, P. Goldin, M. Kubliya, and E. Yanish «Scientific studies of the cult “Oak of the Slavs» were published. The publication is focused on three pagan ritual oaks that were discovered in the Dnieper and Desna interfluve in 1909, 1975 and 1978/1979. The mandibles of pigs were embedded into these trees. The last two oaks, according to 14C indicators, are dated within the third quarter / late 7th — late 10th / mid-11th centuries. The main part of the mentioned publication is the results of laboratory archaeozoological research of animal remains from an oak trunk raised from the bottom of the Dnipro in 1975 conducted by employees of the Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2020 and 2023. The researches have shown that the bones belong mainly to domestic or hybrid (semi-domestic/semi-wild) sows; the age of most animals is up to 3 years or more; the time of death of three animals falls on the second half of the annual cycle, and in two cases the period of death is determined by the winter season. According to most laboratory indicators, the bone remains of animals from the oak of 1975 were similar or identical to the corresponding indicators of the pig mandibles from the oaks of 1978/1979 maintained by the Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 1987. This proves the similarity between the analyzed specimens not only at the level of the main zoological and biological components. One can see the similarity or identity at the level of the content of the pagan ritual, during which the jaws of sows were inserted into tree trunks. The main indicators of archaeozoological and dendrological (regarding the oak in 1978/1979) research, as well as historical and ethnographic research, convince that the mentioned ritual trees are the realities of the calendar rituals of the autumn and winter seasons (in particular, perhaps, the rituals of productive magic) of local agrarians, and not the rituals of traveling merchants-wives, as was considered until recently. In the mentioned publication, the authors also touched upon the question of the ethnocultural attribution of the analyzed ritual oaks. Having based on a number of facts mainly of a general historical nature, in particular: 1) the appearance of the Vikings on the lands of the Lower Desna — the Middle Dnieper in the period of early Rus’; 2) the spread of the cult of trees and animals among pagan Scandinavians; 3) calibrated dating range of ritual oaks in 1975 and 1978/1979 within 776—938 years, i.e. largely within the Early Rus area; 4) change in the 10th century Slavic archaeological cultures of the Middle Dnieper region to the archaeological culture of Old Rus, they put in doubt (although not directly) the probable belonging of these trees to the local Slavs. However, this attempt lacks concrete and therefore convincing evidence of a historical, archaeological or historical-ethnographic nature. There is no reason to assume a significant influence of the Scandinavian newcomers on the spiritual sphere of the autochthons, especially on their calendar rituals of the agricultural cycle.

This article is devoted to the study of the specific features of the participation of North Ossetian Islamic spiritual organizations in the development of interreligious relations in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania in the late twentieth and the first decades of the 21st centuries and their role in the development of the spiritual sphere of the republic’s public life and the stabilization of the political situation in this territorial subject of the Russian Federation. This study examines the features of the peacekeeping activities of the Muslim community of North Ossetia in the republic and in the North Caucasus as a whole. This article examines the role of the chairman of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of North Ossetia A.H. Evteev, H.M. Tavkazakhov and H.H. Gatsalov in the formation and the development of interfaith dialogue in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

Public Libraries as Historical Memory Institutions of the Ukrainian People

The aim of the article is to study main tendencies in the activity of Ukrainian public libraries as institutions of the Ukrainian nation's memory in the martial state conditions. Research methods. A complex of scientific knowledge approaches (objectivity, theory and practice interaction) are used in this article, as well as a principle of unity in interrelationship with current conditions and methods (analysis, cognitive method, structural-functional method, descriptive method, synthesis). Scientific novelty. For the first time, the activities of Ukrainian public libraries as institutions of national and historical memory of our people are presented. It is grounded that in conditions of the martial law in Ukraine, the library institute decently develops its activity for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. Main conclusions. Turning to the historical memory sources is a necessary condition for formulating the national idea of modern Ukraine, taking into account the fact that the protection of basic cultural values stabilises society, unites and supports the spiritual national forces. Nowadays, in the martial law conditions, it is especially important. The formation, preservation and organisation of access to historical memory sources, which are an organic component not only of the material, but also of the spiritual sphere of society, play an important social and communicative role in its comprehensive development, stable emotional and psychological state, as well as contribute to the increase of moral and intellectual potential. Libraries are an important component of the social and communicative state’s structure, they realise the governmental policy of social, historical and national memory, organise the preservation of these sources, take an active part in disseminating objective and truthful information, scientifically based knowledge about the past and the present, aimed on forming and confirming certain historical memory. Also, the library institute contributes to ensuring the information security of the state by refuting fakes, and highlighting the true history of Ukraine. The activity of Ukrainian libraries provide objective and free of charge information, contribute to counteracting the tendentious interpretation of the historical process, the deformation of the meanings of the past and the recent history, the manipulation of the content of historical facts, social and cultural factors.

IMMORTAL DRAGON OF THE HEAVENLY. A POWER THREE TIMES TEMPERED BY FORCE OF SPIRIT

The great Chinese power-civilization is the longest in time, its revival is based on a combination of world achievements and local cultural and historical traditions, rich philosophical heritage. China's geopolitical power includes, along with political stability, military, economic, and technological power, the main component - strength of spirit and Great Order in the soul. In this regard, the Celestial Empire is a thrice “tempered” state - tempered by Confucianism, Buddhism and the communist ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Chinese lessons explain success on the path to prosperity by refusing to blindly borrow other people's experience and, especially, in the spiritual sphere.

Reconceptualization of Sustainability Using the Medical Wheel and Maslow's Pyramid

This multidisciplinary study revises the concept of sustainability. It aims to provide a more holistic view of this notion. It develops a model that provides a frame of reference for ensuring the sustainability of decisions taken. Comparative analyses of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a definition of sustainability and its components, the pyramid of needs, and the medical wheel were carried out. Sustainability encompasses the economic, social, ecological, governance, political, technological, legal, and spiritual spheres. The SDGs and this pyramid can be complemented by the need to find meaning in one's life and work through spirituality. This makes it possible to balance the components of sustainability and to consider all the needs. The aspiration to find meaning or purpose in life through spirituality could be added as the 18th SDG. Sustainability is about meeting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of current and future generations. Thus, managers will be able to monitor progress in meeting these needs, strike a balance between the components of sustainability, and consider all the needs of their employees. This article provides a missing piece about the needs addressed by the SDGs and those we have categorized into the four strands of the medical wheel that evoke aspects of the human: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

REFLEXOS DA COMUNICAÇÃO NO CUIDADO EM SAÚDE

This article aims to reflect on the communication process as a valuable tool for providing quality, ethical, and appropriate care as based on first-hand reports I have received throughout my career as a psychologist. From my experience working with patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses and irreversible conditions in a hospital specialized in long-term care in the city of Suzano, located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, it became clear to me how communication in the healthcare setting can promote relief, minimize suffering, and favor the success of the proposed treatment. Likewise, depending on the way it is practiced, not only can it negatively interfere with the biopsychosocial and spiritual spheres of patients and their families, but also harm the healthcare professional-patient relationship.

Рефлексивно-методологический анализ информационных войн: социально-философский аспект

The article analyzes the phenomenon of information wars in a reflexive and methodological way. This concept refers to the recently widespread practice of international confrontation based on the use of non–traditional means of suppressing the enemy – due to the hidden but directed influence on mass consciousness by the media, involving the spheres of social and cultural interaction. The interdisciplinarity of the phenomenon under consideration, the diversity of its interpretations, and the lack of a generally accepted definition are noted. The relevance of philosophical reflexive and methodological analysis is substantiated, which reveals the content of the concept of information wars in the context of the ultimate foundations of being and culture as a whole. It is emphasized that this kind of confrontation determines the emergence of crisis trends in all areas of the spiritual sphere, including literature, art, religion, threatening the information security of society. The negative external influence on the national consciousness is disguised as progressive ideas and thus receives the support of the active strata of society. In conclusion, the authors note the need to differentiate between real promising socio-cultural development and pseudo-evolution due to the conduct of information and psychological warfare.

Humanitarian activities of the county police in the second half of the XIX– early XX centuries (on the example of the Vladimir province)

Law enforcement agencies have been and remain an important part of the Russian state system. The field of responsibility of the police authorities of the Russian Empire at the turn of the XIX- XX centuries was extensive and diverse. It included issues of state, community and public administration, management in the field of economics, industry, transport, finance, control over compliance with laws and regulations, protection of personal rights and property, health care, social security, education, the spiritual sphere and monitoring the moral condition of the population. The article is devoted to the activities of the district police of the Vladimir province in the field of struggle for the physical and moral health of the population. This aspect is insufficiently covered in local-level research, so the author used archival materials from the Vladimir province to complement the image and the scale of the activities of local law enforcement agencies by the beginning of the XX century. Pokrovsky County was the most densely populated due to the high concentration of factory industry and workers. The research is based on the principles of historicism, reliability and scientific character, chronological and historical-systemic methods are used. Specific examples show the role of the county police in combating the spread of infectious diseases and drunkenness among the population, carried out in difficult conditions of active migration flows in cities and counties of the Vladimir province and an ever-growing number of residents. The staff of the Pokrovsky district police department, in addition to the functions of law enforcement and public peace, controlled the opening of hospitals, the provision of medical care, strictly monitored the referral of syphilis-infected residents to county hospitals for treatment, and fought against public drinking in villages and towns of the county. Statistics collected from the field by district police officers were sent to the provincial government, to statistical committees and became the basis for state and public decisions in the relevant areas.

Стереотипы межконфессиональных взаимодействий сибиряков

The successful term “stereotype” was substantiated by the journalist W. Lippman and became firmly established in scientific use. Researchers have studied the processes of stereotypes functioning. This is an important part ofthe collective consciousness, protecting a person from unfamiliar information. Stereotypes help save time and life resources for processing new information. But the negative side of stereotypes lies in the creation of mental templates for the perception of reality. It is easier for a group to simplify information than to waste time understanding the essence of another’s otherness. Information that contradicts stereotypical patterns is ignored, simplified, and distorted in terms of content. “We-group” begins to aggressively defend the meanings of its stereotypes from an alternative opinion. The opponent can be subjected to harassment and physical destruction. The structure of stereotypes and scenarios of stereotyping are considered by us from the standpoint of structuralism. “We-group” is socially differentiated. For extras and dominant members of the group, the rules of the social game are written. The meaning of the stereotype can turn into a tool for managing citizens, into a weapon against members of the “they-group”. The spontaneous part of the process of stereotyping lies in the routine existence of stereotypes, with the help of which people explain the complex phenomena of life. It is a routine practice of inventing and reinforcing language clichés. The manageable part of stereotyping is the use of these clichés for political gain. “We-group” is always in a state of stereotypical attitude. The group can choose a stereotyping scenario – a scenario of tolerant neighborhood or a scenario of negative solidarity. The first determines the path of development of a tolerant attitude towards non-Christians, the search for new knowledge about the culture of “outsiders”, the development of practices of new socio-cultural experience. The second is the way of intensifying intercultural and interfaith tension, leading to armed conflicts. The reason for interfaith conflicts is the use of creeds for personal gain. At the everyday level, conflicts arise due to cultural incompetence, the simplification of knowledge about the culture of “strangers”. In Siberia, despite the existence of stereotypes, interfaith relations are peaceful. This is emphasized by the heroes of in-depth interviews representing different confessions. Their perception of non-Christian neighbors is based on an understanding of personal merit, and not on a stereotyped understanding. Spiritual leaders confirm the idea of intercultural rapprochement of Siberians as members of a multi-confessional community. Tolerance is a social practice of neighborhood that develops the spiritual sphere of community life.

STUDY OF PATIENTS' QUALITY OF LIFE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO AN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC METHOD IN THE EXAMINATION OF PATIENTS WITH DISLOCATED TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISKS

"Quality of life is a concept used to assess and measure the level of satisfaction, health, comfort and general well-being of a person or group of people".
 The aim of the study was to investigate the QOL indicators of patients with dislocated TMJ articular discs during examination and treatment.
 The objective of this study is to determine the impact on the QOL of patients' orthopedic treatment of TMJ disc dislocations.
 The number of examined patients was 50, age 25 to 60 years, patients had a dislocated TMJ disk.
 In this study, we compared the QOL indicators in patients with dislocated TMJ discs before and after treatment, using the WHO QOL-100 questionnaire.
 The results of the study showed that the average score of the perception of overall quality of life and health (G) after treatment improved significantly. The study was divided into spheres: "Physical sphere" fatigue has significantly decreased, the feeling of pain and discomfort has disappeared, sleep has normalized, energy and strength have increased; "Psychological sphere" feelings and thinking have become more positive, concentration, self-esteem and appearance have improved, and anxiety has decreased; "Level of independence" increased daily activity and performance; "Social relationships" improved perception of relationships in society; "Environment" normalized general health of patients; in the "Spiritual sphere" patients became more confident.
 Thus, after orthopedic treatment of TMJ articular disc dislocations, QOL of patients improves significantly. The study of QOL in patients in the treatment of TMJ dislocations can be used as a diagnostic criterion for patient recovery.
 Directions for future research: the use of QOL research in assessing the quality of care of orthopedic dentists in the treatment of patients with TMJ dislocations.

“Soviet” and “Anti-Soviet” Kinship as Course of the USSR Downfall. Experience of Intellectual Biography Against the Background of Perestroika

On the basis of the memories and background information the author of the article unravels the mystery of the transition of the USSR to new Russia telling about the “undercurrents” in the Soviet top management that accompanied it. Being the successor of the “Vekhi” tradition, the author conceives the ongoing events in the context of Russian philosophy. It become clear that despite the repressive organization of the soviet system, it failed to suppress in Russian people their thirst for freedom and their need for truth. That’s why the destruction of the Soviet system was primarily going in the spiritual sphere, - in ideology and in art.

Humanism Through History

The article is devoted to the study of the evolution of the term «humanism». It is noted that humanism is a rather ambiguous term and domestic scientific thought treats it ambiguously. It is emphasized that humanism, as a cultural and historical phenomenon, has undergone a complex path of evolutionary development, taking various forms and shades. Each historical era brought its own, time-appropriate content to this concept. The author points to the fact that humanism as ideological movement is born in ancient times, but the term itself began to be used in the philosophical lexicon only in the nineteenth century and represented a peculiar type of mindset, a unique moral principle that began to dominate the spiritual sphere, whereas in the twentieth century it encompassed all spheres of society. It is concluded that at the present stage of civil development, where man has become a prisoner of the global socio-anthropological crisis, humanism should be turned into an ideology on a planetary scale.

Право и его понимание как фактора духовной безопасности субъекта традиционной культуры

Right is considered as a factor of spiritual security of a subject of traditional culture. The role of right as a phe-nomenon that guarantees the security of the spiritual sphere of human existence is revealed. The study is based on the work of modern researchers in the field of philosophy and culture of right and spiritual security; methods of philosophical analysis and cultural approach are used. The thesis is substantiated that the right to be human is a genetic property of a person through the analysis of some of the theses of I. Kant, who notes the dual nature of man, in the coexistence of nature, subject to the rights of necessity, and man, endowed with free will. The ideas are generalized that right as a cultural fact reflects the moral values and ideals of its bearer, be it a person or another social group, through the regulation of social relations, right ensures the establishment and observance of fair rules of behavior for a cultural subject. It is emphasized that the essence of right as a genetic property of human existence is revealed in its tandem with responsibilities. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that an objective assessment of semantic connotations allows us to see in the right a factor of ensuring the spiritual security of the subject of culture; awareness of the culture of law as a component of human dignity, manifested in the realization of one’s duties, guarantees the protection of spiritual and material values, traditions, customs and languages of peoples.

AMERICA IN THE EYES OF DIPLOMATS AND PRIESTS OF TSAR RUSSIA: THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

The article examines the perception of the United States by Russian diplomats and priests of the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States in 1867–1917. The authors analyse the views of Russian diplomats and clergymen on various aspects of the American reality in the political, social, economic, scientific, technical, cultural and spiritual spheres. The research is based on a wide source base of domestic archives. Conclusions are drawn about the dual nature of perception of the United States by Russian diplomats and clergymen. On the one hand, they admired the level of economic, scientific and technological development of the United States, as well as the religiosity of Americans, on the other hand, they were critical of democracy and secularity of the American civilisation.

SÍNDROME METABÓLICA: VIVÊNCIAS EM RELAÇÃO AO CUIDADO COM A SAÚDE

ABSTRACT Objective: to interpret the experiences of people with metabolic syndrome in relation to healthcare. Method: this is qualitative research using Grounded Theory as a method and Symbolic Interactionism as a framework for analysis. It was carried out at a Basic Health Unit in the city of Marília/SP, Brazil, with 24 interviews in three sample groups (patients, family members and healthcare professionals), from February 9, 2022 to January 16, 2023. Results: a total of 734 codes were identified and grouped into categories and subcategories, with the central phenomenon being “(Not) Taking Care of Health”, which is characterized as a dualistic process that encompasses both neglect and care. Aspects relating to neglecting health include the categories: “Considering not having health problems”; “Having difficulties understanding and resisting following care”; and “Lack of adherence to treatment”. In the aspect of taking care of the health, there are the categories: “Understanding that they have metabolic syndrome”; “Receiving guidance”; and “Counting on support”. Conclusion: the experience of people with metabolic syndrome permeates the biological, psychological, social and spiritual spheres, as they deal with their health problems according to the social interaction maintained with themselves and other people. Therefore, meaningful communication and bonding with healthcare team are the main tools for adherence to treatment.
