Among the priority areas of modernization of the world and domestic system of professional medical education is the improvement of theoretical and practical training of future dentists. Modern society has a fundamental educational need for the formation of a fully developed personality, with high intellectual and creative potential and global thinking. With the adoption of the concept of building a new health care system of Ukraine [ 5 ] , the Law of Ukraine "On Education" [ 8 ] , the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine "On Approval of the features level education medical direction" [ 7 ] , the introduction of industry standards in higher education and the national qualifications framework is an integral indicator of the quality of higher medical education in the context of its modernization is the professional competence of future doctors, including dentists, which is determined not only by narrowly specialized knowledge for direct entry into the labor market, but also general theoretical, methodologically important, long-term, invariant knowledge, that contribute to the holistic perception of the scientific picture of the world, the development of intelligence, creative self-realization and adaptation to changing living conditions and professional activities.
In today's labor market, including the domestic one, a young specialist, in particular a dentist, finds himself in unequal conditions with experienced professionals, as he lacks professional experience and a low level of readiness for real practical conditions. This situation determines the use of pedagogical technologies, methods and teaching aids in the process of professional training of future dentists, which would bring the educational process as close as possible to the real conditions of practical activity.
After training future dentist based on forming ability of solutions to bind challenges and problems in health, specialty "Dentistry" in professional activities or in the learning process involves research and / or implementation of innovation characterized by uncertainty conditions and requirements. This requires the dentist not only to master high-quality modern knowledge combined with manual skills, but also to develop moral and volitional sphere, creative potential, ability to motivate actions and adequate self-assessment of decisions.
Active use of training of professional competencies in the field of training of future dentists became possible with the emergence of special tools and training devices - simulators, phantoms and more. This circumstance is due to the fact that during the training of students on patients "at the patient's dental chair" the priority is the patient (sick person), and not the task of "teaching a dental student practical skills." This has become especially relevant with the increase in the number of lawsuits against dentists for poor quality medical care.
The purpose of the article is to highlight the prospects for the use of simulation training in the process of forming the professional competence of future dentists. Note that the last decade has been characterized by the rapid introduction of a large number of virtual simulation technologies in various areas of human activity. The experience of using business games and cases in the professional training of medical specialists of various profiles is generalized by S. Nikonenko [1], V. Artyomenko [3] and others; situational modeling as a pedagogical category was in the center of attention of M. Demyanchuk [2], V. Lisovy [4], K. Muravyov [6], S. Semchenko [9] and others. Summarizing the work of researchers shows that modeling a variety of scenarios by placing students in realistic situations with immediate feedback on their decisions and actions, improves the acquisition of the necessary skills.
The priority direction of development of higher medical education in modern conditions, which determines the need to have basic practical competencies at the time of graduation, is to strengthen the aspect of mastering the manual skills of future doctors against the appropriate level of theoretical knowledge [10, p. 45]. Widely used in developed countries medical education simulation training methods allowed to put practical skills of medical workers to a new level without endangering the life and health of patients [11, p. 189]. Simulation training as required compulsory component of training allows each student to perform professional activities in accordance with professional standards of care [ 12 , p. 6-7]. This trend is no exception in the process of training dentists [13, p. 52].
The system of national health care also widely introduced various models, simulators, virtual simulators and other technical facilities, which allow of varying degrees of reliability model processes, situations and other aspects of professional work of medical workers. However, if the individual simulators for testing the simplest practical skills in some schools have long been used, the introduction of sophisticated simulation and virtual management of their use in education appeared only in the last decade.
Determinants of such trends are some changes in the provision of medical care. The problem of medical errors and the need to improve patient safety has been focused around the world. Obtaining the patient's consent to participate in the provision of medical care by students and trainees for professional skills is becoming increasingly difficult, especially given the introduction of insurance medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to create other ways to transfer medical experience and skills. It is clear that the training of a qualified dentist is not possible without contact and communication with real patients, but increasingly the safety of the patient and his well-being are a fundamental ethical issue.
When studying "at the patient's bedside", the priority is still the treatment of the patient, not the training of the student. In 2009, according to V. Artyomenko [ 3 ] the World alliance for patient safety, with the support of WHO, published a "Guide to Patient Safety for Medical Colleges", which states that medical education institutions must create a safe and secure educational environment for training of clinical skills [3, p. 73]. One of the means to achieve this goal is the use of simulation technologies [2, p. 82]. Thus, V. Artyomenko describes the simulation as "educational methodology that provides an interactive activity of students" [3, p. 71], immersion in a professionally oriented environment "by reproducing the real clinical picture in whole or in part without the associated risk to the patient" [3, p. 72].
Thus, simulation is an imitation, modeling, realistic reproduction of the process. A simulation in medical education - an advanced technology training and assessment of practical skills, abilities and knowledge based on realistic modeling, simulating the clinical situation or a single physiological system to create which can be used by biological, mechanical, electronic and virtual (computer ) models.
Speaking further, we note that one of the important stages in the implementation of simulation training in the formation of professional competencies of future dentists is debriefing . Debriefing - is an analysis, analysis of the "pros" and "cons" of students actions (implemented by them during the simulation exercises), discussion of their experience.
This type of activity activates the reflective thinking of dental students and provides feedback to assess the quality of simulation tasks and consolidate the acquired skills. According to the results of modern qualimetric research in the pedagogy of medical education, students have a limited idea of what happens to them when they are involved in the process of simulating experience. Being in the center of events, they see only what can be seen from the point of view of the active participant [9]. Therefore, it is through debriefing that the simulation experience is transformed into a conscious practice, which will ultimately help future dentists to prepare both emotionally and physically for future professional activities.
Organizational and methodological aspects of the use of simulation technologies in the process of forming the professional competence of future dentists are determined by the features and potential of higher medical education. Analysis of modern technical capabilities of mankind allows us to establish that the realism of simulation equipment ( fidelity ), which should be used in the training of students GHME, should be provided at seven levels. According to the mentioned levels of realism it seems expedient to classify all simulators:
1.
Visual -
when applicable means of traditional technologies training
- circuits, printed posters, models anatomical structure of the human
body. It also includes simple e-books and computer programs. The
basis of any practical experience is visual simulation training,
during which the correct sequence of actions is practiced when performing
medical manipulations. The disadvantage lies in the lack
of practical training of those, who are
studying .
2.
Tactile - when the passive reaction of the phantom is
reproduced. In this case, manual skills, coordinated movements of future
dentists and their sequence are practiced. Thanks to realistic phantoms it is
possible to bring to automation separate manipulations, to get technical skills
of their performance.
3.
Reactive - reproduces the simplest active phantom
reactions to student actions. The assessment of the accuracy of the actions of
future dentists is carried out only at the basic level. Such mannequins and
simulators are made of plastic and supplemented by electronic controllers.
4.
Automated simulators reproduce the reactions of the
mannequin to external influences. Such simulators use computer technology based
on scripts, when the phantom "gives" a specific answer to certain
actions of future dentists. In this case, students' cognitive skills and
sensory motility are practiced.
5. Hardware - simulates the situation of the medical office, operating room. Interactive simulators provide modeling of complex interaction of the dummy-simulator with medical equipment and the student. This refers to the automatic change of the physiological state of the artificial patient, an adequate response to the introduction of drugs, to the wrong actions of students and so on. At this level, you can directly assess the qualifications of the trainee. Integrated - reflect the interaction of simulators and medical devices.
For the effective application of simulation training technologies in the process of training future dentists in GHME it is necessary to adhere to a number of basic methodological , organizational and methodological principles:
1. Integration
of simulation training methods into
the current system
of higher professional medical education .
2. The presence of the legal framework in which contains
the provision on access to work ( teaching )of patients, but also for duty compulsory competencies of professions ,which require primary organization of
simulation training .
3. Intensive organization of
the educational process , modular construction of
the simulation training program and opportunities for simultaneous training of different categories
of medical staff (by specialty ).
4. The only system of evaluation
of the results
of simulation studies (for all organizers of the
educational process, which uses methods
of simulation training ).
5. The presence of
a system of staff training (teachers , instructors)
to implement methods of simulation training [9].
The modern development of medical science and practice necessitates adjustments in the training of future dentists in GHME with the approach of their education to international standards. That is why the quality of education in GHME needs to be improved by effective organization and informatization of the educational process, through the introduction of simulation technologies in teaching practice.
At the same time, the study of the current state of implementation of simulation training technologies and the specifics of organizational and methodological aspects of the use of simulation technologies in the formation of professional competence of future dentists in GHME allowed to identify problems to be successfully and effectively implementation of these innovations in the system of higher medical education:
• creation of the concept of simulation training in the system of medical education in Ukraine;
• creation of normative and regulatory base of simulation training;
• development and implementation of educational-methodical and software-instrumental support of the simulation educational process in GHME;
• training of teachers for the organization of simulation training;
• financial support of the training simulation system;
• conducting research projects to study the effectiveness of simulation training in the system of higher medical education.
We see further scientific research in the theoretical substantiation of pedagogical conditions for the formation of professional competence of future dentists by means of simulation training.

В умовах російської агресії проти України стала актуальною проблема створення Служби військового капеланства в Збройних силах України та Міністерстві внутрішніх справ України. Служба військового капеланства призначена для організації заходів щодо задоволення духовно-релігійних потреб військовослужбовців та працівників Збройних Сил України, Національної гвардії України, інших, утворених відповідно до законів України військових формувань, Державної прикордонної служби України і членів їхніх сімей.

The adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on November 30, 2021, of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service" [1], which entered into force on March 19, 2022, was an important historical event in the revival and implementation of the Military Chaplaincy Service in the military and paramilitary units of Ukraine.
In accordance with the transitional provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the Service of Military Chaplaincy" [2], amendments were made to the Law of Ukraine "On Social and Legal Protection of Military Personnel and Members ofTheir Families" [3], the Statute of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (approved by the Law of Ukraine "On the Statute of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine") [4] and the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service" [5] on the implementation and operation of the military chaplaincy service. At the same time, in accordance with paragraph 3 of the transitional provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service" [6], the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is obliged to ensure the adoption of regulations necessary for the implementation of this Law and the approval of regulations by ministries and other central executive bodies with this Law within six months from the date of publication of this Law.
Instead, as of today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine have not coordinated the previously adopted departmental regulations on the Military Chaplaincy Service with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service" [7] (in particular, in terms of the Regulations on the Service of Military Clergy (Chaplaincy Service) in the Armed Forces of Ukraine of 14. 12.2016 [8], the Regulation on the Service of Military Clergy (Chaplaincy Service) in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine of 10.10.2016 [9] and the Regulation on the Service of Military Clergy (Chaplaincy Service) in the National Guard of Ukraine of 24.03.2016 [10]).
On September 12, 2022, under No. 641/2022, the President of Ukraine signed a Decree "On Amendments to the Regulations on the Military Service of Citizens of Ukraine in the Armed Forces of Ukraine" [11], which regulated the issue of military service by military chaplains, taking into account the provisions of the newly adopted Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service" [12].
In
pursuance of the above legislative acts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State
Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine and other
military formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine have
gradually begun work on the deployment and staffing of the military chaplaincy
service: military chaplaincy management centers have been established, changes
are being made to staffing tables in terms of opening full-time officer
positions of military chaplains and military chaplaincy assistants, and
candidates for military chaplaincy positions are being selected.
According to the provisions of
Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service"
[13], the Military Chaplaincy Service is intended to organize measures to meet
the spiritual and religious needs of military personnel and employees of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, other military
formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, the State Border
Guard Service of Ukraine and members of their families.
The
military chaplaincy service is formed as a separate structure within the Armed
Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, other military formations
formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service
of Ukraine, the type of which depends on the scope, nature and complexity of
measures to meet spiritual and religious needs in their military command and
control body, formation, military unit, military educational institution,
institution or organization (hereinafter - military unit). In a military unit
at the level of a separate battalion, the functions of the Military Chaplaincy
Service may be performed by one military chaplain.
The
relevant military chaplaincy services are directly subordinated to the
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Commander of the
National Guard of Ukraine, the heads of other military formations established
in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, and the Head of the State Border Guard
Service of Ukraine.
The
maximum number of the Military Chaplaincy Service for the Armed Forces of
Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, other formations established in
accordance with the laws of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service of
Ukraine may not be less than 0.15 percent of the maximum number of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, other military formations
established in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and the State Border Guard
Service of Ukraine.
The introduction of the Military Chaplaincy Service and the urgency of its deployment in the military and paramilitary formations of Ukraine has become especially important in the context of the large-scale Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014-2023, when Ukrainian servicemen and their families need pastoral care, spiritual and moral support, spiritual and patriotic education, and moral and psychological motivation more than ever. At the same time, we should talk about the implementation of a highly qualified, responsible, disciplined, highly patriotic and highly spiritual military chaplaincy service with staffing by military chaplains on a full-time basis and with officers holding positions and the separation of the Military Chaplaincy Service into a separate and independent military unit. In fact, we are talking about the need to form a new kind of troops at the national level - the Spiritual Troops of Ukraine.
Along with the positive achievements in the process of implementing the above provisions and tasks defined by the legislation and the urgent needs to establish pastoral care in the military and paramilitary units of Ukraine, we have identified, in our opinion, a number of significant gaps and inconsistencies that can significantly weaken the quality of implementation, deployment and functioning of the Military Chaplaincy Service and slow down the process of its proper establishment in practice.
In our opinion, the following risks to the implementation of a full-fledged military chaplaincy service in Ukraine should be considered:
1. Lack of a
national strategy for the vision of the Military Chaplaincy Service as a
separate, independent, interagency, centralized and specialized new kind of the
Spiritual Forces of Ukraine with self-sufficient and independent functions of
management, pastoral, spiritual, educational, counterintelligence and combat
tasks, manning, structure, personnel work, education, training and replacement
of personnel, development strategy, financing, etc.
2. Management,
organizational and personnel division of the Military Chaplaincy Service today
between different military and paramilitary units: The Armed Forces of Ukraine
(consisting of various branches of the armed forces), the State Border Guard
Service of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs of Ukraine, which does not contribute to the full, integral
and comprehensive functioning of the Military Chaplaincy Service at the
national level.
3. Lack of
proper legislative support for the introduction of the Military Chaplaincy
Service in the paramilitary units of special services, the penitentiary system
and the police.
4. The lack
of proper legislative regulation of the issue of interaction between the
command of military and paramilitary units where the Military Chaplaincy
Service is implemented and the management centers of churches and religious
organizations, in particular in matters of personnel appointments and
replacement of military chaplains.
5. Lack of
legislative regulation and good practice regarding the consideration of
personnel and qualification requirements for the appointment of military
chaplains, in particular, taking into account the status of military and
paramilitary units according to their ranks in the military administration
system; available degrees of education, academic degrees and academic titles;
work experience; duration of pastoral service and stay in the clergy, taking
into account the available clergy rank (priest, archpriest, bishop); managerial
skills; available civil servant ranks and their correlation with military
ranks; available or absent military ranks, etc., not to mention the need to
take into account the moral, psychological, ideological and political
compliance of candidates for military chaplains when selecting and appointing
them.
6. Non-compliance
and ignoring by the command of military and paramilitary formations in Ukraine
of the provisions of subparagraph 11) of paragraph 1 of Article 1 and
paragraphs 2-3 of Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military
Chaplaincy Service" [14] in the formation of military chaplaincy service
management centers (regional, troops, branches of service, etc.) from among the
staff officers of the moral and psychological support service and other military
units, and not from among military chaplains of the clergy. As a result, the
functional and organizational content of the legislative concept and definition
of "Military Chaplaincy Service" is a separate structure within the
Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, other military
formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and the State Border
Guard Service of Ukraine, consisting of the governing bodies of the Military
Chaplaincy Service, military chaplains and established to organize measures to
meet the spiritual and religious needs of military personnel,employees
and their families in peacetime and wartime"[15].
In our opinion, the most problematic issues and
risks that have arisen today in the process of implementing the Military
Chaplaincy Service in Ukraine and require urgent regulation and resolution are
as follows:
1. The
management centers of churches and religious organizations, which are
practically excluded from effective recruitment and influence on the
appointment of military chaplains directly at the level of military and
paramilitary units due to inadequate coordination and interaction, should be
more effectively and with guaranteed rights allowed to engage in personnel work
on the selection, appointment, dismissal and transfer of military chaplains to
vacant positions, as they continue to be spiritually proper clergy of a
particular church structure.
2. For some
unknown reason, the command staff of the centers of regional management of
military and paramilitary units, military
units, troops, branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Guard
Service of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs of Ukraine, is staffed
by career officers, usually former deputy police officers or representatives of
the moral and psychological support service, rather than by officers from the
mobilized or contingent military. For their part, career military officers who
are not clergymen and, accordingly, military chaplains, cannot effectively perform
the functions of managing the Military Chaplaincy Service, as they do not have
proper education in theology, do not know and do not understand the essence of
the pastoral activities of clergymen, and hence military chaplains; often many
of them are not believers at all, have no knowledge of the history of the
Church and do not understand the peculiarities of church building in Ukraine.
3. The
transfer of the management of the Military Chaplaincy Service in the Armed
Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the National
Guard of Ukraine of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine exclusively
into the hands of career офіцерів military personnel, including yesterday's
deputy policemen and representatives of the moral and psychological support
service and other military units, instead of forming the management of the
Military Chaplaincy Service from among the clergy - military chaplains
(priests, bishops), will not lead to a high-quality and full-fledged On the
contrary, it will lead to negative consequences and has already led to many
cases: actual inhibition of the development of the Military Chaplaincy Service,
dilution of its spiritual content, personnel decisions and the creation of
conflict situations.
This is,
in our opinion, an extremely negative practice today, which contradicts the
provisions of subparagraph 11) of paragraph 1 of Article 1 and paragraphs 2-3
of Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy
Service" [16] in terms of appointment and staffing of military chaplaincy
service management centers (military units, regional military formations,
troops, branches of the military, etc. ) from among the career officers of
former deputy policemen, today's moral and psychological support service and
other military units, and not from among the directly mobilized, contractors or
employees of military chaplains-priests, is a violation of the requirements of
the above provisions of the Law [17], negatively affects the processes of
implementation, deployment, proper formation and functioning and the formation
of the Military Chaplaincy Service. And this, in turn, does not and will not
allow the Military Chaplaincy Service to properly and fully fulfill the high
tasks assigned to it by the Law.
Accordingly,
the management centers (regional and higher) of the Military Chaplaincy Service
in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and
the National Guard of Ukraine of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine,
and later, subject to створенняй in the interagency Military Chaplaincy Service
of Ukraine, should be headed and formed by representatives of the clergy from
among those clergy who are ready to mobilize or enter into contracts for
military service as military chaplains (or temporary employees).
The introduced Military Chaplaincy Service should definitely be united
into a single, separate, centralized and independent management system, namely
a separate state interagency paramilitary Military Chaplaincy Service of
Ukraine (as an authorized special paramilitary central executive body), which
should be entrusted with the tasks provided for by the Law of Ukraine "On
Military Chaplaincy", envisaged by the Law of Ukraine "On the
Military Chaplaincy Service" [14], in particular, issues of management,
development strategy, recruitment, appointment, transfer, dismissal and
maintenance of the reserve, organization of training and advanced training,
methodology, pastoral activities and preaching the Word of Truth by military
chaplains, assignment of primary, regular and extraordinary military ranks,
financing, etc.
The respective Military Chaplaincy Service of Ukraine should be headed by
a military chaplain in the spiritual rank of bishop from among the clergy of
the Local Orthodox Church of Ukraine (as the historical and more numerous
denomination) with the appointment of deputies on a confessional basis from
among military chaplains, priests or bishops, representatives of other churches
and religious organizations whose charters are officially registered in Ukraine
and which have the right to delegate their clergy to the military chaplaincy
service. A similar principle of personnel appointments should be implemented in
the appointment of commanders (chiefs, commanders) of regional centers for the
management of lower-level military chaplaincy services with the appointment of
officers from among military chaplains-priests to the relevant positions.
4. The Military Chaplaincy Service of
Ukraine as an independent paramilitary Special Military Service should be
directly subordinated to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine with the appropriate gradation of subordination of the structural units
of the Military Chaplaincy Service of Ukraine to the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, the
heads of other military formations established in accordance with the laws of
Ukraine, the Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
5.
The appointment of military chaplains without the creation of a single
management, methodological and personnel center for military chaplaincy, at the
discretion of hundreds and hundreds of individual commanders and commanders
(who have different views, education, spiritual, cultural and moral level, understand
or do not understand the basics of faith, church structure and the
peculiarities of multidenominational church building in Ukraine, belong or do
not belong to a particular religious denomination, etc.
6. Given
the fact that military chaplains have not been trained in Ukraine before and an
adequate qualitative and quantitative reserve of candidates for military
chaplaincy positions has not been created, it would be advisable to introduce a
transition period of up to 5-10 years (as vacant military chaplaincy positions
are filled), During this period, part-time priests should also have the right
to be accepted for the service of military chaplains, with special conditions
and not necessarily with existing officer ranks, who should retain the right to
simultaneously serve as priests in parishes or bishops in the dioceses they
lead.
The need to separate and create an independent
interdepartmental Military Chaplaincy Service of Ukraine follows from the
content of Article 35 of the Constitution of Ukraine [15], Articles 1-6 of the
Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy Service" [16] and the
political, legal, religious, spiritual, organizational and structural nature of
the purpose of the Military Chaplaincy Service.
In the period before the creation of a separate
independent interagency Military Chaplaincy Service of Ukraine with a phased
decision on its creation, appointment of leadership and structuring, it is
advisable to immediately replace the already appointed leaders and other
officers from among the already appointed leaders and other officers from the
military, moral and psychological support services for military personnel from
among military chaplains (priests and bishops) who have expressed a desire to
mobilize or sign contracts for military chaplaincy.
It is clear that the above issues need to be
comprehensively studied, discussed and taken into account in order to find the
most optimal and correct solution to the problems of proper implementation of
the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the Military Chaplaincy
Service"[17]. The issue
of the introduction and development of the Military Chaplaincy Service in
Ukraine cannot be postponed until tomorrow, it needs urgent consideration,
regulation and ordering.
