STUDENT ATTITUDES TО COUNSELLING MEN AND WOMEN POSTPONING PARENTING
Get PDFIntroduction: Postponement of parenthood in recent years is a problem not only at national but also at European level. A number of statistical analyzes in the field of demography show that the number of infertile families in the world can reach 15%. The etiology of late parenting is diverse, often combining different factors. This in turn leads to a number of personal and public problems, including reproductive, psychological, demographic and others. To overcome this problem it is necessary to work in many directions with the competent intervention of institutions and specialists. To some extent, this is also the task of medical universities, where future health professionals are trained. In response to modern educational requirements, they face the challenge of provoking attitudes and building competencies in future midwives to work with women and men with reproductive problems. The good stimulus provokes young people to generate modern ideas and approaches to reduce reproductive problems and overcome the demographic crisis in the country.Aim: The aim of this study is to establish the attitude of midwifery students about counseling men and women of childbearing age who delay parenthood.Materials and methods: An anonymous survey was conducted among students majoring in Midwifery, who study at the Shumen Affiliate of the Medical University of Varna. Their number is a total of 40 students, distributed as follows: 20 first and second year students and 20 third and fourth year students. The study was conducted in February 2022. The method on the basis of which the study was developed is based on comparative analysis.Results and discussion: To establish the attitude of future midwives to work with men and women who postpone parenthood, the key question was to find out if they are willing to work with such families. The results we received are encouraging with the predominant number of students who indicated thattheir professional activity, they associate with women and men who postpone parenthood (I and II course - 80%; III and IV course - 90%). None of the respondents gave a negative answer, and those who did not think whether they would work in this direction are approximately ¼ (1st and 2nd year - 20%) and significantly less (III and IV) course 10%).Conclusion: The attitude of future midwives is to apply their knowledge and skills in all areas of obstetrics and gynecology. Students who are at an advanced stage of their education have confidence and would consciously apply what they have learned to improve reproductive health. The answers make it clear that in the initial stage of their training, future health professionals are still not well aware ofthe directions in which their competencies would be effectively applied. The surveyed students from the 3rd and 4th year, as expected, show greater confidence and a relatively small share are those who are not yet oriented in which direction of obstetrics and gynecology would find their place. The education and training of future midwives is a chain structured of many elements - personality traits; high professionalism of the trainers; good training conditions; constructive and effective clinical practice; continuity from graduate colleagues, etc. Consistency and unity between each of the elements is needed

A clinical case of variant testicular artery associated with an aberrant renal artery
Get PDFThe testicular arteries (AT) are long-paired blood vessels that typically arise from the abdominal aorta, below the beginning of the renal arteries, and above the inferior mesenteric artery. Variations of AT are relatively common. They can be classified based on different principles, such as the site of origin, their number, and their course. The overall incidence of AT originating from a site other than the abdominal aorta is about 4%. In such cases, its onset is usually related to the renal arteries. The presented clinical case involves an atypical origin of the left testicular artery, beginning with an accessory, aberrant a.renalis. The high incidence of variations regarding the renal vessels and their potential combination with abnormal testicular arteries require a thorough analysis of their anatomical features before interventions in the area.
ЗДРАВЕОПАЗВАНЕТО В МЕДИИТЕ – КОИ ТЕМИ НАЙ-МНОГО ВЪЛНУВАТ ЖУРНАЛИСТИТЕ
No full textMedia is a powerful tool not only for forming public opinion, but also for influencing the public health. The information that users of the media product receive changes not only attitudes, it can change behavior, promote and develop health culture, and vice versa – negatively affect not only personal but also public health.In the 21st century of wide-spectrum communication, the question of media`s responsibility for the information provided and the human behavior caused by it comes to the fore more and more. The article provides an answer to the question of which topics from the field of health care are most covered by the national media. They are derived based on media monitoring of national televisions, radio stations, newspapers and online publications for a 3-month period. The starting point of the research is the classic postulate in journalism "good news is bad news". The evidence serves to reject or accept this thesis. Media language was examined and data provided on whether journalists' coverage and attitudes towards certain topics were positive, negative or neutral. Based on the research, recommendations have been made to health institutions on how to proceed, so that the scientifically reliable and accurate information they wish to provide to the public, can reach the media more easily

FROM WIKIPEDIA TO CHAT-GPT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF AI IN EDUCATION THROUGH UNESCO’S GUIDELINES
Get PDFChat-GPT is a language-based AI that can be used for answering questions, providing explanations, generating content, and assisting with language translation. With its development, Chat- GPT posed the same problems as Wikipedia years ago.This report aims to relate ethical problems posed by Wikipedia and Chat-GPT; to present UNESCO’s guidelines for ethical use of Chat-GPT education of students.Methods: literary review and philosophical reflection. During its inception, Wikipedia faced author anonymity and content veracity issues. Students often misused Wikipedia, accepting its content uncritically. Chat-GPT is experiencing a similar surge in popularity, necessitating vigilance to avoid repeating past oversights. UNESCO’s guidelines suggest that Chat-GPT could be used for possibility engine, Socratic opponent, etc. but should be used with care and creativity. Chat-GPT is in constant development and students must have a good understanding of how to ethically use and manage Chat-GPT and critically assess its produced content. Educators must develop policies within the institution for using Chat-GPT in research work done by students.Even though Chat-GPT’s constant development, it creates problems. Chat-GPT is a powerful tool that can help students and educators but only with clear ethical use
