The study of the state of awareness of pharmaceutical workers regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Aim. To analyze and summarize the results of a questionnaire on the state of awareness of pharmaceutical workers in the Western regions of Ukraine about the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Materials and methods. The results of a survey of pharmacy managers, pharmacists and interns working in pharmacies in 8 regions of the Western area of Ukraine were used. The survey of respondents lasted 12 months: December 2021 – December 2022. A special questionnaire was developed to determine the level of knowledge about the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Results and discussion. With the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, COVID-19 practically disappeared from the information space and ceased to be an urgent issue for Ukrainians. However, in recent weeks, the Ministry of Health has recorded an increase in the number of hospitalizations due to the coronavirus disease. During the period of martial law and the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), the pharmacy is the most accessible healthcare institution for the population and ranks first in terms of the number of citizens’ requests for symptoms, methods of treatment and prevention of SARS-CoV-2, therefore, the awareness of pharmacists – practitioners about COVID-19 is very important to provide complete and high-quality pharmaceutical care to patients. A review of the specialized scientific literature over the past 5 years confirmed the lack of studies on the level of awareness of pharmaceutical workers about the symptoms, methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the main diseases that are widespread in the Western regions of Ukraine. With the help of a questionnaire, we conducted an expert assessment of the level of knowledge of pharmacy managers, pharmacists and interns working in pharmacy institutions in 8 regions of the Western area of Ukraine regarding the main symptoms, methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of uncomplicated forms of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). After analyzing the answers of the respondents, it can be assumed that pharmaceutical workers know the main manifestations of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and are oriented towards the threatening indicators of the patient’s condition. It causes concern that some respondents incorrectly determine the reasons for prescribing antibacterial therapy to a patient, which can lead to incorrect recommendations and advice during the implementation of pharmaceutical care, however, the introduction of electronic prescriptions for dispensing antimicrobial drugs and information and educational work with pharmaceutical workers should correct the situation. Conclusions. In our opinion, it is promising to conduct further research to improve the level of knowledge and competencies of pharmaceutical workers during their specialization courses and thematic improvement in the system of continuous professional development

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the formation and improvement of the competence of carrying out resuscitation measures for pregnant women and women in labor in the system of continuous professional development of medical practitioners using simulation

Annotation. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has implemented a system of continuous professional development (CPD) for doctors. One of the possible measures of CPD, which ensures a continuous process of training and improvement of professional competences of medical workers, is simulation training. The purpose of our work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of simulation technologies as a CPD tool for the formation and improvement of the competence of medical workers in carrying out basic and advanced resuscitation measures for pregnant women and women in labor. During 2019-2021, 28 simulation trainings on the topic “Basic and advanced life support of pregnant women and women in labor” were held for medical workers of the city of Vinnytsia and Vinnytsia region, which were attended by 246 medical workers at an age from 20 to 63 years (the mean age – 43.1±8.6 years) and medical experience from 1 to 43 years (the mean medical experience – 19.04±10.89 years). Among the training participants, 38.9% were obstetrician-gynecologists, 17.6% anesthesiologists, 20.1% midwives, 13.4% nurse anesthetists, and 10% nurses. To evaluate the theoretical knowledge of the training participants, we used test control: the initial assessment of knowledge (pre-test), which was compared with the results of the final test (post- test). In addition, at the end of the training, an anonymous questionnaire was conducted regarding the self-assessment of the acquired skills and the attitude of the trainees to the conducted simulation training. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the SPSS 21 statistical information processing package (©SPSS Inc.). The results of our research show that training using simulation technologies contributes to a 1.7 increase (on average – from 5.76±2.67 to 9.62±1.63 points; p<0.001) in the level of theoretical knowledge by the formation and improving the competence of carrying out resuscitation measures and algorithms for providing medical assistance in case of circulatory arrest. A comparative analysis of the results of the self-assessment of the basic techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation before and after the training shows an improvement in skills with a 2 times increase in the average score for the restoration of airway patency, ventilation with an Ambu bag – by 27.7%, indirect heart massage – by 32,9%, dosing and administration of epinephrine – by 24.7%, dosing and administration of amiodarone – by 37.2%, rhythm assessment and defibrillation – 2 times (p<0.001). The assessment of the attitude of medical workers to simulation training in general demonstrated the satisfaction of the trainees with the training, simulation scenarios, educational presentations, qualifications and attitude of the trainers. According to 95.5% of respondents, the goals and objectives of the training were fully achieved and they will be able to effectively use the acquired skills in their practical activities. Thus, the method of simulation training is an effective tool of CPD.

A review of the continuous professional development system for pharmacists

BackgroundThe Portuguese Pharmaceutical Society (PPS) implemented a system of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for pharmacists in 2004. This system has evolved throughout the years, and currently all active pharmacists in Portugal are required to participate in the CPD program. Each CPD cycle takes 5 years. In each cycle, pharmacists must collect 15 CPD points, through participation in educational activities. The PPS accreditation process is managed via an online platform, where education/training providers, as well as pharmacists themselves, can submit educational activities for accreditation. Pharmacists may access their CPD status and assess their development at any point. The objective of this study was to analyze and review the educational activities submitted by providers over a 11-year period (2009–2019).MethodsData from activities were retrieved from the PPS CPD online platform. All educational activities were labeled according to the area of pharmaceutical professional focus, type of promoter, and activity type.ResultsDuring the study 3685 activities were analyzed. Over the last decade, submitted activities for accreditation increased in 52.6%. A significantly high proportion (98.9%) of these activities has been accredited. Promoters of activities were mostly pharmacies sectoral associations (29.6%), consultancy/training companies (19.6%), the PPS (18.5%), pharmaceutical industry (17.7%) and wholesalers’ consortia (9.0%). Academia represented only 2.3% of the total amount of educational activities. The most frequent topics were related to “pharmacology & pharmacotherapy” (9.9%), followed by “counselling” (9.8%) and “management & administration” (7.2%). The most accredited type of activities was face-to-face (68.9%) and e-learning trainings (13.1%).ConclusionsThis study shows increasing interest in submitting CPD activities for accreditation between 2009 and 2019, but it also demonstrates that Academia could play a more interventive role in the lifelong learning education of Portuguese pharmacists.

Оценка и развитие профессионализма преподавателей высшего педагогического образования: изменения концепции и технологии

The problem of assessing the quality of education today is relevant. There are many problematic questions: What should the technologies for implementing the links between school teachers and schoolchildren’s learning outcomes be? How to identify these connections and work with them? Is it possible to establish multidimensional relationships between the activities of a teacher, the results of students, between the competencies of a teacher and the quality of their professional training at the university? In Tomsk Oblast, the research is being carried out in two areas: (1) development and testing of a technology that makes it possible to analyze the learning outcomes of schoolchildren and establish the relationship between these results and the level of teachers’ professionalism, (2) establishment of a relationship between the identified deficits in the subject and methodological competencies of teachers and the quality of their professional training at a pedagogical university. In the first direction of work, the results of research on assessing the level of school teachers’ competence were summarized. The study used machine learning methods. The data obtained in educational institutions of Tomsk Oblast for the period from 2015 to 2019 (unified state exam in mathematics, physics, Russian language, and social studies) were processed. This work made it possible to identify learning difficulties among schoolchildren, and then to connect these difficulties with a lack of competencies in the professional activities of their teachers. In the second direction of the research, the goal is set: the development of a new concept for the assessment and development of the professionalism of teachers in the system of higher pedagogical education. The object of study is the system of continuous professional development of teachers in the system of teacher education. The study uses the methods of theoretical analysis, structural analysis, analysis of products of activity, focus group, method of expert assessments, educational design. The types of interdependence of professional and educational deficits of different subjects of educational activities are described. These types of connections are important for achieving the integrity of the assessment system, developing the professionalism of professors of teacher education and structuring managerial actions to ensure the quality of general and teacher education in the logic of their relationship. The following conclusions are made. (1) The proposed concept of assessing and developing the professionalism of professors of a pedagogical university is an element of a system for achieving the quality of school and university pedagogical education in the “school student – teacher – university teacher” logic. (2) An assessment of the level of teachers’ professional competences shows deficits that need to be addressed. (3) Changes in the preparation of students can be based on the analysis of professional deficits of teachers, which makes it possible to change the preparation of students, including ensuring the prevention of deficits.
