Abstract
Introduction. To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical educational institutions have moved o quarantine with distance learning. It was implemented suddenly and imperatively, which can have long-term consequences not only in the form of a decrease in the quality of education, but also in the form of certain psychological problems for both students and faculty.
Aims: to assess the impact of the forced transition to distance learning during the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection on the lifestyle and the degree of satisfaction with education of medical students.
Materials and methods. A one-stage descriptive study was carried out in which 165 students of the 4th-5th year of the Faculty of Medicine and Prevention, who studied remotely at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, took part in it. Among them, an anonymous survey was conducted, which included questions of lifestyle, degree of satisfaction and their opinion on the quality of education.
Results. According to the results of the questioning, distance education influenced the lifestyle of the majority of the students surveyed — 32% began to get better sleep, 26% noted the appearance of sleep disorders. With regard to the nutrition of students, a similar picture is observed — 55% began to eat more regularly and balanced, 21% - ate excessively. Only 7.3% students are most actively involved in the distance learning process, most are periodically distracted (88.5%) or are engaged in other activities (4.2%). The theoretical component of distance learning was assessed by students quite high — 7.7 ± 2.4 points. However, the practical skills caused a lot of dissatisfaction were rated low 4.1 ± 2.4 points. Among the advantages of distance education — 92.7% singled out time and financial savings. Of the shortcomings — 86.1% indicated the lack of work with patients.
Conclusions. The transfer of medical students to distance education entails not only a possible decrease in the quality of education and student motivation to study, but also a significant change in lifestyle.
