Title: Epidemiology of comorbidities diseases in patients with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension Authors: Yasynska, E.; Biduchak, A.; Navchuk, I. Abstract: The article presents the results of a comprehensive clinical and epidemiological analysis of the structure of comorbid pathology in patients with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension. The analysis of the study was conducted on the basis of materials from primary referrals of 745 people to healthcare institutions in the city of Chernivtsi during 2020–2025. The paper provides a reliable assessment of the difference between groups, taking into account gender, age, and observation period using the χ² criterion. As a result of the study, it was proven that in most cases, arterial hypertension is combined with other chronic diseases. The most frequent concomitant diseases were as follows: ischemic heart disease was registered in 35.3%, obesity and lipid metabolism disorders - in 26.9% and type 2 diabetes mellitus - in 15.3%, chronic kidney disease was 8.2%, cerebrovascular diseases - 5.2%, thyroid pathology - 3.5%, chronic respiratory diseases - 2.5%. Concomitant pathology was not registered in only 1.6% of people. Gender analysis showed significant differences in the structure of comorbidities. 38.1% of men had ischemic heart disease more often, 32.6% of women. Obesity and lipid metabolism disorders (24.3% in men and 29.5% in women), type 2 diabetes (14.6% in men and 16.0% in women), thyroid disease (1.9% in men versus 5.1% in women). No significant changes were found in chronic kidney disease, cerebrovascular and respiratory diseases (p > 0.05). The study of the structure of comorbid pathology depending on age showed a statistically significant increase in the frequency of cardiovascular and metabolic pathology in people 50 years of age and older (p < 0.05). The study also compared the frequency of detection of concomitant diseases by year of the study. Description: Журнал «Перспективи та інновації науки» (Серія "Медицина") № 1(59) 2026. с. 2106-2115.

Five-year survival rate for gastric cancer: an International comparison by economic groups

Title: Five-year survival rate for gastric cancer: an International comparison by economic groups Authors: Chornenka, Z. Abstract: Over the past half century, there has been a significant increase in the number of patients surviving cancer. At the same time, experts emphasize that this progress is uneven: a number of the most aggressive forms of cancer show minimal improvements in survival rates compared to the 1970s. For some oncological pathologies, such as melanoma or skin cancer, ten-year survival rates exceed 90%, and in general, about half of patients diagnosed with cancer can expect to live for more than ten years - twice as long as in the early 1970s. However, the results of the study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine indicate that for cancers of the esophagus, stomach, lung and pancreas, the improvement remains minimal: ten-year survival for these pathologies does not exceed 20%, and for pancreatic cancer it is about 5%. Scientists note that the trend towards increasing survival rates for many types of cancer is primarily associated with the development of diagnostics and improved treatment approaches. A striking example is breast cancer, for which ten-year survival rates increased from 42% to over 76% between 1971 and 2018 due to the introduction of screening programs and the emergence of targeted therapies. In contrast, oncological diseases with the lowest survival rates are usually difficult to detect early and are characterized by limited therapeutic options. As a result, the difference between the best and worst survival rates is constantly increasing. Description: Журнал «Перспективи та інновації науки» № 12(58) 2025. с.1872-1880

Professional competences of nurses in the treatment and prevention of arterial hypertensio

Title: Professional competences of nurses in the treatment and prevention of arterial hypertensio Authors: Chornenka, Z.; Yakovets, K. Abstract: In the modern healthcare system, the role of nurses is of particular importance, as they ensure the continuity of the medical process, disease prevention and patient support during treatment. In the context of the development of family medicine, a nurse acts not only as a doctor's assistant, but also as an independent specialist who is able to carry out a set of measures for the prevention and control of arterial hypertension. The effectiveness of her activities is determined not only by professional training, but also by the formation of personal qualities that ensure a high level of communication, empathy and motivation for the quality performance of duties. As part of the study, a survey was conducted of 156 nurses who carry out preventive work with patients with arterial hypertension. The results obtained allowed us to determine the level of development of key components of professional and personal competencies. It was found that most nurses are characterized by a high level of sociability, which, however, is combined with an average level of communicative culture and the presence of emotional barriers in communication. Such obstacles include a certain rigidity in interpersonal relationships, difficulties in managing one's own emotions, a tendency to distance oneself from patients. This indicates the need to develop emotional intelligence as an integral component of communicative competence.

Пацієнт-орієнтований підхід: оцінка рівня задоволеності якістю медичної допомоги

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Title: Пацієнт-орієнтований підхід: оцінка рівня задоволеності якістю медичної допомоги Authors: Бідучак, Анжела Степанівна Abstract: Задоволеність пацієнтів якістю медичної допомоги є одним із ключових індикаторів ефективності системи охорони здоров’я, що відображає не лише рівень професійної компетентності медичного персоналу, але й організацію лікувально-діагностичного процесу, доступність послуг, гуманність та комунікативну культуру медичних працівників. В умовах реформування медичної галузі в Україні вивчення рівня задоволеності пацієнтів набуває особливої актуальності, оскільки дозволяє виявити дисбаланс між очікуваннями населення та реальною якістю наданих послуг, своєчасно коригувати управ- лінські рішення та запобігати конфліктам у системі «лікар–пацієнт». Мета. Визначити рівень задоволеності пацієнтів якістю медичного обслу- говування, проаналізувати чинники, що спричиняють виникнення конфліктних ситуацій між пацієнтами та медичним персоналом, а також визначити ефективні способи їх вирішення серед населення Чернівецької області. Отримані результати підтверджують потребу у вдосконаленні комунікації між пацієнтами та медичним персоналом, розвитку культури пацієнт-орієнтованої медицини та впровадженні систем оцінки досвіду пацієнтів Description: Перспективи та інновації науки. 2025. №10(56).
