The article is devoted to assessing the current state of children’s balneology as an independent area of sanatorium and resort business. Taking into account the leading role of domestic children’s balneology practice, the prospects for its development are determined. Modern scientifically based data on the use of natural physical factors (climate, mineral waters, therapeutic mud), as well as other non-drug methods (physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy, manual therapy, etc.) for various pathological conditions and as a means of prevention are presented. The creation of «children’s» resorts, sanatorium-resort camps and other original organizational forms of assistance to children is emphasized as historically justified. The special role of the nurse in the conditions of children’s sanatorium and resort services and the need for appropriate professional training are highlighted.

This article examines the current state of the legal framework regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the practical activities of nurses. An analysis is conducted on key federal-level documents and national standards that establish the procedures for implementing and utilizing AI systems in healthcare. Special attention is given to the practical aspects of nurses’ interactions with decision support systems, the requirements for their training, and their role in ensuring patient safety when using AI technologies. Based on the analysis of existing regulatory documents, recommendations are proposed for adapting nursing practice to the conditions of healthcare’s digital transformation.

The article explores key aspects of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of occupational bronchial asthma (OBA). The authors emphasize the importance of identifying the causal relationship between the disease and occupational factors such as dust, gases, and aerosols in the workplace. The article describes etiological factors, classification of OBA, diagnostic and treatment methods, as well as issues of expertise and prevention. Special attention is paid to the role of immunological mechanisms and genetic predisposition in the development of the disease. Discuss the need for early detection and the removal of workers from harmful occupational factors to prevent the progression of the disease.

Effective work of nurses is possible only if there are carefully developed and approved work plans, regulations for their monthly activities, skills in delegating functions to accountable nursing staff, constant care for the nursing staff, which includes, among other things, occupational safety, load optimization, awareness, assessment of their efforts, etc., as well as provided by management medical organizations provide full support to the activities of heads of nursing services in terms of logistical and regulatory support, remuneration, etc.

The head of the nursing service should be able to accumulate and analyze data related not only to the activities of the nursing service, but also to the medical organization as a whole, objectively assess the qualities of his subordinates (personal, professional), identify problems and prioritize the nursing service.

Systematic reviews are becoming an integral part of the professional activities not only of physicians but also of nursing staff. But where can a nurse read them? We can use the library of the Cochrane Collaboration, as well as the website https://medsestra-nauka.ru/, where systematic reviews of practical relevance for nursing staff have recently been posted. A study of the opinions of Moscow nurses has shown that the nursing community understands the need to use the results of systematic reviews for the further development of nursing practice.
