“…Precautions are necessary to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in school settings. Likewise, exercise care not to stigmatize students and staff exposed to the virus (Tsaranov, Zhiltsov, Klimova & Tarbastaev, 2020;UNICEF, 2020). The government and school authorities cannot just ignore these.…”

“…Results in Table 3 revealed the readiness of the maritime students in coping with the abrupt paradigm shift to online learning. One of the factors asked was about personal wellbeing during this time of the pandemic (Tsaranov et al, 2020;UNAI, 2020;UNICEF, 2020). Results showed the perception of 74.54% of the maritime students that they were not personally well.…”

This paper aimed to determine the maritime students’ readiness to cope with the abrupt paradigm shift from face-to-face to online learning for the first time in maritime education amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It utilized a descriptive-normative approach where incoming 2nd year and 3rd-year maritime students were the respondents. Data gathering was online using a survey questionnaire in Google Forms. Statistical tools used were frequency count, percentage and a 5% margin of error in projecting students’ population throughout the schoolyear 2020-2021.The study showed a majority or 7 of 10 among maritime students were not ready to cope with the paradigm shift on the basis of not having a computer of their own for school works; no internet connectivity at home; no access to internet shops; and personal wellbeing. Almost 3 of 5 preferred face-to-face learning. Participation was limited with only the maritime students while everybody was under the community lockdowns for safety and health reasons. Internet connectivity of the students also was a limiting factor.A catch-up framework in maritime education for SY 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 addresses problems relative to the start of SY 2020-2021 by delaying it to January 2021. This will give the maritime students inclusive opportunities to graduate within the prescribed period despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government, school authorities, parents and faculty members also benefit from this framework once adapted.

“…Psychoemotional state of medical workers was gravely destabilized by limited resources, long working shifts, sleeping disorders, imbalance between work and private life, as well as occupational risks associated with constant contacts with patients suffering from COVID-19. Several authors mentioned various risk factors that might cause mental disorders among medical workers; the most significant ones were an extreme situation, substantial changes in oc-cupational activities and in overall lifestyle [15], specific clinical course of COVID-19 (fast development of the infection, grave complications, scarce knowledge about the new disease) [16], extreme loads at workplace, sleep becoming shorter and worse [17], a possibility to get infected when treating patients [18], a risk to infect family members or close friends [19], fears of not being properly provided with personal protective equipment (PPE) and expendables [20], physical discomfort related to the necessity to constantly wear PPE [21], isolation and uncertainty about the situation [16,22].…”

Medical workers have become a most affected population group during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). They were the first to start fighting against an unknown infection and at that stage their psychoemotional state determined not only correct evaluations of a situation but also relevant planning regarding control over it. Our research aim was to reveal risk groups among medical workers regarding developing emotional burnout syndrome and peculiarities of reacting to stress in an emergency epidemic situation. We applied our own author’s anonymous online poll available at Google platform to examine psychoemotional state of medical workers. The poll had a built-in “Scale of perceived stress-10” that included two sub-scales; one of them measured a subjectively perceived level of the situation strain and the other, the amounts of efforts made by medical workers to overcome it. The poll was performed in November–December 2020; overall, 638 medical workers took part in it. They were of different age and sex and had different positions and working experience. We established great variability in individual levels of overstrain as per the stress perception sub-scale (Ех < 0; Ех = –0.59) with more “low” than “high” values as per this sub-scale (Аs > 0; Аs = 5.66). Having analyzed variability of values as per the stress overcoming sub-scale, we revealed that they were homogenous (Ех > 0; Ех = 3.98) with prevailing “high” values (Аs < 0; Аs = –6.97). Medical workers with their working experience being shorter than 5 years turned out to be a risk group with the most destructive reactions to long-term affecting stress factors at work and at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from them, high mental risks were also detected for workers who treated patients with COVID-19 as well as those who had previously had the coronavirus infection. The research allowed obtaining actual data on psychoemotional state of medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and determining potential risk groups regarding developing emotional burnout syndrome. We substantiated the necessity to constantly provide psychological trainings for medical workers with their focus on peculiarities of their reacting during the first meeting with destabilizing factors and with further adjustment of educational programs provided for potential risk groups.

BACKGROUND: The specificity of the professional activities of medical workers is one of the main reasons for their high morbidity, including due to the influence of unfavorable factors in the working environment. The need to reduce labor losses in the industry necessitates the study and analysis of the disability status of doctors within the framework of long-term observation. AIM: A study of the dynamics of primary disability indicators of doctors working in their specialty in the Irkutsk region at the time of examination, in comparison with the primary disability of the adult population of the Irkutsk region for 19 years from 2003 to 2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational retrospective continuous study of primary disability indicators of working doctors in the Irkutsk region for 19 years (2003–2021) was conducted. Analytical, statistical, data copying, and expert assessment methods were used. RESULTS: During the study period, 1,703 people working as doctors in the Irkutsk region were recognized as disabled for the first time. The average long-term intensive rate of primary disability of doctors for 19 years averaged 75.4 (±7.55) per 10 thousand working doctors, which is 17% lower than the same indicator for the adult population of the region. The following diseases took the first place among doctors during 2003–2011: diseases of the circulatory system, and over the past ten years since 2012 — malignant neoplasms. CONCLUSIONS: The level of primary disability in physicians responds more quickly and sensitively to changes in social legislation, and is less affected by changes in the number of physicians in the region than the corresponding rates in the adult population of the region as a whole. The nosological structure of doctors disabled mainly coincides with the indicators of the adult population.
