Abstract

Aim. To provide a methodological description and rationale for the de­veloped original training session "The Role of Epidemiological Research in the Healthcare System Using Psychoemotional Stress as an Example".

Material and methods. This study used materials from a developed original training session on "The Role of Epidemiological Research in the Healthcare System Using Psychoemotional Stress as an Example" at the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine. This training session can be implemented using a multimedia presentation for residents, postgraduate students, and students enrolled in continuing professional education programs in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Healthcare Organization and Public Health; postgraduate medical students enrolled in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Healthcare Organization and Public Health; primary care physicians; directors and staff of public health and medical prevention centers; and directors and staff of healthcare authorities.

Results. Key categories are identified, the lesson structure is defined, and the learning process management is demonstrated. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of the didactic principle "Connecting Theory with Practice".

Conclusion. The training session integrates data from the largest Russian epidemiological studies (ESSE-RF and ESSE-RF2) into the specialist educational, a demonstration of their application at the descriptive statistics, work with Rosstat statistical data using information and analytical systems and the Internet, and the identification of key methodological features. It is aimed at improving the quality of training specialists in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Healthcare Organization and Public Health.

What is already known about the subject?

  • Monitoring public health, identifying risk groups and regions, and determining risk factors (RF) that in­fluence the disease risk are of strategic impor­tan­ce for the development of preventive programs.
  • Psychoemotional stress is of particular importance among this group of RFs for Russians, demon­stra­ting a significant negative impact according to the lar­gest Russian epidemiological studies ESSE-RF and ESSE-RF2.
  • Raising awareness of the role of epidemiological re­search for public health and healthcare, the signi­fi­can­ce of psychoemotional stress for public health, and the medical and statistical characteristics that spe­cialists encounter when working with data are pro­mising areas for improving medical education.

What might this study add?

  • An original training session has been developed in­corporating the ESSE-RF and ESSE-RF2 data, de­monstrating the high significance of psy­choe­mo­tional stress as a risk factor for noncommunicable di­seases for the Russian population and the impor­tance of using the acquired knowledge in educa­tio­nal and practical activities.
  • Key categories and session structure has been de­fi­ned, and education organization has been de­mon­strated, with special attention paid to the im­ple­men­tation of the didactic principle of "Connecting The­ory with Practice".
  • The training session integrates data from the lar­gest Russian epidemiological studies (ESSE-RF and ESSE-RF2) into the specialist educatio­nal, a de­monstration of their application at the des­crip­tive statistics, work with Rosstat sta­tis­ti­cal da­ta using information and analytical sys­tems and the In­ternet, and the identification of key me­tho­do­lo­gi­cal features. It is aimed at im­pro­ving the qua­li­ty of training specialists in Inter­nal Me­dici­ne, Car­dio­logy, and Healthcare Orga­ni­za­tion and Public Health.
