Amlaev K.R., Zharilkasynova G.Z., Safoeva M.O.
Abstract

The article analyzes the development of nursing in the Republic of Uzbekistan over the 30 years since gaining independence. It emphasizes the transformation of the nurse training system – from the Soviet short-term vocational model to a modern multi-level educational structure. The paper reviews the introduction of new educational standards, the establishment of bachelor’s and master’s programs, and the impact of international partners on the reform of content and teaching methodologies. It highlights achievements and persistent challenges: staff shortages in rural areas, limited career opportunities for university graduates, and insufficient autonomy in clinical decision-making. The authors conclude that further development of the profession and strengthening of the nurse’s institutional role in healthcare are required.

The Future of Nursing in the Era of AI and Healthcare Robotization
Seliverstov P.V.
Abstract

Healthcare is entering a new era where artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are radically changing traditional patient care practices. This article offers a scientific and philosophical perspective on the transformation of the nurse’s role in the age of AI and robotics. The paper discusses functions that remain with nurses despite the automation of certain tasks, and analyzes which responsibilities are already being transferred to robots and intelligent agents. Changes in the social and professional status of nursing staff are addressed. The article presents experiences in implementing AI and robotics in clinical practice across different countries – from Japan and South Korea to the USA, Europe, Russia, and China. Forecasts are formulated: whether the nurse will become an operator of high technologies and an «empathetic bridge» between the patient and machines, whether there will be a complete replacement of the profession or its evolution, and which skills will be defining for future generations of nurses.

Education: problems and solutions

Comparative analysis of the influence of heterogeneous physical activity on the level of physical activity of students
Gamzatova S.A., Aidinbekova Z.T., Gamzatov S.G., Aslanbekova M.R., Aslanbekov R.M., Mekhtikhanov M.S.
Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis results of experimental study conducted to identify the relationship between the level of physical activity and increased physical activity. Changes in the physiological parameters of the respiratory, cardiovascular and muscular systems were also studied in students attending physical education classes and sports sections. During the experiment, it was found that constant physical activity with increasing physical activity leads to stabilization of cardiovascular system indicators (pulse, blood pressure) and an increase in the functionality of the respiratory system (vital lung capacity) in students. In all experimental groups there is a direct, strongly expressed, linear correlation between the level of physical activity and an increase in the strength index. A positive effect of physical activity on general physical development was revealed in the form of a decrease in the Quetelet index among students in all groups of the experiment.

Risk factors for suicide in women in a situation of reproductive choice
Matveeva E.I.
Abstract

There is data on the effect of pregnancy on suicide risk, but there is no data on the role of reproductive choice in the formation of suicide risk. The aim of the study: to identify statistically significant relationships between psychopathological, somatic, socio-demographic factors in women in a situation of reproductive choice. Main results: A statistically significant relationship was confirmed between suicide risk and mental illnesses: anxiety and depression in the group of women in a situation of reproductive choice. The statistically significant relationship between suicide risk and depression is weaker and is associated with fewer signs of anxiety in the group of women who chose to have a child. Somatic diseases have a statistically significant relationship with suicide risk only in the general group of women in a situation of reproductive choice and in the group of women who decided to have an abortion. The presence of a husband, children, and a more mature age of a woman are resources for the prevention of suicide risk in women in a situation of reproductive choice and in a situation when a woman chooses to have an abortion. Additionally, negative statistically significant correlations were found between the suicide risk and the experience of perinatal loss (miscarriages and abortions in the anamnesis). The factors - miscarriage (in the general group of reproductive choice and in the group of women who decided to have an abortion) and abortion (in the group of women who decided to give birth to a child) negatively affect the suicide risk. Conclusion. Reproductive choice is not as much a significant factor for suicide risk as the presence of anxiety and depression. Anxiety, depression are the most significant predictors of suicide risk in women in a situation of reproductive choice. Medical, social and psychological assistance is needed for individuals with high rates of depression and anxiety, regardless of the adopted reproductive choice. Women in the post-abortion period are not studied. It is necessary to develop state programs for the prevention of depression and anxiety. Active monitoring of the condition of these women is necessary for suicide prevention.
