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.

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.

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.

At present, in the conditions of the decline in the number of able-bodied populations in the Russian Federation, associated with the decline in birth rate and increase in mortality, the protection of reproductive health of the population is the most important direction of state policy, determining the national security of Russia.
