Oral health is crucial to overall health. Because of normal physiologic changes, pregnancy is a time of particular vulnerability in terms of oral health. Pregnant women and their providers need more knowledge about the many changes that occur in the oral cavity during pregnancy. In this article we describe the importance of the recognition, prevention, and treatment of oral health problems in pregnant women. We offer educational strategies that integrate interprofessional oral health competencies.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an interprofessional education (IPE) clinical simulation and case study experience, using oral-systemic health as the clinical population health example, for nurse practitioner/midwifery, dental, and medical students' self-reported attainment of interprofessional competencies. A pretest-posttest evaluation method was employed, using data from the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Scale (ICCAS) completed by two large cohorts of nurse practitioner/midwifery, dental, and medical students at one U.S. university. Data from faculty facilitators were collected to assess their perceptions of the value of exposing students to interprofessional clinical simulation experiences focused on oral-systemic health. The results showed that self-reported interprofessional competencies measured by the ICCAS improved significantly from pre-to posttest for all three student types in 2013 (p<0.001) and 2014 (p<0.001). Faculty facilitators reported that the IPE clinical simulation experiences were valuable and positively influenced interprofessional communication, collaboration, patient communication, and student understanding of patient care roles. These results suggest that the Teaching Oral-Systemic Health Program Interprofessional Oral-Systemic Health Clinical Simulation and Case Study Experience was effective as a standardized, replicable curriculum unit using oral-systemic health as a population health exemplar to teach and assess interprofessional competencies with nurse practitioner/midwifery, dental, and medical students.

Phenomenological insomnia types characteristic of neurotic anxiety disorders and their relationship with types of intrapersonal conflicts are described. A quantitative analysis of the dynamics of symptomatic complains, anxiety level, and insomnia is presented. The efficacy of the both psychotherapeutic treatments is shown. However the personality oriented (reconstructive) psychotherapy has demonstrated better and more stable results. This can be explained first of all by its pathogenesis-oriented nature and involvement of the cognitive emotional and behavioral spheres as well as the resolution of the intrapersonal conflicts, which are the cornerstone of neurotic disorders.

We studied patients with three main forms of neurotic disorders and also psychotherapists trained in personality-oriented (reconstructive) psychotherapy with the aim of classifying specific psychotherapeutic targets significant for the dynamic of clinical and psychological patient features in the course of psychotherapeutic treatment. A two-stage study was conducted, in which on the first stage took. The results showed that specific characteristics of psychotherapeutic targets and their combinations used by the psychotherapist have a certain regularity; a reliable statistical relationship was found with symptomatic effects of ongoing psychotherapy. medical (clinical) psychology, personality oriented (reconstructive) psychotherapy, psychotherapeutic target, neurotic disorders
