Relevance. At the end of 2019, an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection occurred in the People's Republic of China with an epicenter in Wuhan. On February 11, 2020, the World Health Organization assigned the infection its official name -COVID-19 («Coronavirus disease 2019»), and the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses on February 11, 2020 assigned the official name to the causative agent - SARS-CoV-2. The study is relevant due to the fact that the disease quickly spread around the planet with the active drift of the pathogen into the territory of the Russian Federation. As of 11/26/2020, worldwide 60 million 894 thousand people were infected with COVID-19, 1 million 430 thousand died, 42 million 90 thousand people recovered.Intention. Analysis of publications on the epidemiological spread of COVID-19 for the purpose of effective medical and psychological support during dynamic monitoring of the disease, and also for epidemiological well-being.Methodology. Scientific publications from domestic and foreign databases were analyzed.Results and Discussion. The global and rapid spread of COVID-19 disease has had a huge impact on all healthcare sectors around the world and has expanded the existing understanding of the nature of the course of this disease, and greatly facilitated the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of new coronavirus infection. The paper discusses the main issues of epidemiology, laboratory diagnostics and prevention of COVID-19, which are currently relevant. In the future, the massive use of vaccines against the new coronavirus will help create population immunity and protect the population from this disease, but today the issue has not yet been resolved, although it should be resolved in the near future.Conclusion. The issues of epidemiology and laboratory diagnostics of COVID-19 have not yet been finally resolved. The measures taken in Russia to prevent the import of HV are undoubtedly important and adequate to the current situation. At the same time, they cannot completely prevent cases of virus spreading (by those in the incubation period of COVID-19, or those with latent and hidden disease), which can lead to probable epidemiological problems in the future.
The review considers the communicative aspect of the professional activity of a doctor, where communication acts as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. The concept of «Empathy» was examined. The necessity of forming empathic abilities as a professionally important quality is substantiated, and as a condition for productive professional communication during the period of study at the university. The principles of the organization of the educational process that contribute to an increase in the level of empathy among students in the conditions of a medical college are described, as well as the psychological mechanism for the formation of professional self-development of to-be specialists’ personality. The methods that allow not only to form the empathic culture of the student are enumerated, as well as methods permitting to maintain a certain level of the empathic culture of the teacher himself. The results of the study of the components of professional burnout and the level of empathic tendencies of medical workers of various specialties are considered. Sex differences in the evaluation of personal empathy and selfishness as well as age differences in the evaluation of altruistic behavior are discussed
Currently, both in our country and around the world, there is an epidemic of coronavirus infection COVID-19. A list of its main forms of syndromes and complications is known. Against this background, people who have undergone COVID-19 may develop a mental burnout syndrome, which at its core has a manifested growing emotional exhaustion, due, first of all, to the tension of the workload among the representatives of the human-to-human profession. Features of mental burnout were studied in 62 convalescents 90 days after discharge from the hospital. A feature of the study is the fact that it is almost impossible to select a control group for the disease under study. Therefore, psychological indicators were compared between different clinical forms of COVID-19. There were no statistically significant differences between the indices of the subscales of the Burnout Syndrome Questionnaire in different forms of COVID-19. Psycho-emotional exhaustion in all convalescents is weakly expressed, personal distance is not expressed, professional motivation is high in 100% of cases. Moreover, in patients with pneumonia caused by COVID-19, this figure was 90%. At the same time, the index of mental burnout in survivors of COVID-19 has an average value. In a number of cases, emotional exhaustion was revealed, which was combined with physical overwork; however, it did not significantly affect the indicators of mental burnout, which indicates adequate medical and psychological support of patients in the course of treatment.
