Internal motivation for training of students of specialty "Physical culture and sports"

У статті розглянуто питання внутрішньої мотивації студентів до навчання, проаналізовано поняття мотивації та внутрішньої мотивації, визначено рівень мотивації до навчання у студентів та розглянуто більш детальне відношення до дисциплін студентів спеціальності "Фізична культура і спорт".In Bologna system of education, training consists of loans, which include contact hours and independent work of students. Therefore, intrinsic motivation is relevant, the student must comply with professional competence, be creative professional tasks, taking pleasure in learning. Students who are intrinsically motivated to study in the field of physical culture and sports, mastering professional skills, knowledge and abilities will be able to more competitiveness in the labor market. So study the problem of internal motivation to learn is relevant. To assess the level of intrinsic motivation in students of specialty "Physical Culture and Sports" was tested by the method of diagnosis for orientation learning motivation by Dubovytskiy T.D. 34 students 4 courses of specialty "Physical culture and sport" NTU "KPI" took part in research. Academic subjects for testing were taken from the curriculum of Bachelor specialty "Physical culture and sport" seventh term: "Theory and methods of teaching basic types of sports activities", "Organization of Physical Culture", "Fundamentals of medical knowledge", "Basic Research", "Information support of physical culture." The internal motivation for learning makes it possible to enjoy the received information and the understanding of its purpose in physical culture and sports. Studying intrinsic motivation for learning in students of specialty "Physical culture and sport", it was found that 60% of students consider obtaining knowledge valuable and interesting because most students intrinsic motivation high level. But 20% of students were found difficulties in study subjects (most of these students because of competitive training regime and miss a lot of classes. They acquire theme on their own, that making it difficult to study the material in the future)

Patient-reported outcomes in palliative gastrointestinal stenting: a Norwegian multicenter study

Background The clinical effect of stent treatment has been evaluated by mainly physicians; only a limited number of prospective studies have used patient-reported outcomes for this purpose. The aim of this work was to study the clinical effect of self-expanding metal stents in treatment of malignant gastrointestinal obstructions, as evaluated by patient-reported outcomes, and compare the rating of the treatment effect by patients and physicians. Methods Between November 2006 and April 2008, 273 patients treated with SEMS for malignant GI and biliary obstructions were recruited from nine Norwegian hospitals. Patients and physicians assessed symptoms independently at the time of treatment and after 2 weeks using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire supplemented with specific questions related to obstruction. Results A total of 162 patients (99 males; median age = 72 years) completed both assessments and were included in the study. A significant improvement in the mean global health score was observed after 2 weeks (from 9 to 18 on a 0–100 scale, P\0.03) for all stent locations. Both patients and physicians reported a significant reduction in all obstruction-related symptoms ([20 on the 0–100 scale, P\0.006) after SEMS treatment. The physicians reported a larger mean improvement in symptoms than did the patients, mainly because they reported more severe symptoms before treatment. Conclusion SEMS treatment is effective in relieving symptoms of malignant GI and biliary obstruction, as reported by patients and physicians. The physicians, however, reported a larger reduction in obstructive symptoms than did the patients. A prospective assessment of patientreported outcomes is important in evaluating SEMS treatment

The trans-ancestral genomic architecture of glycemic traits

Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic health. To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Here we aggregated genome-wide association studies comprising up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) for whom fasting glucose, 2-h glucose after an oral glucose challenge, glycated hemoglobin and fasting insulin data were available. Trans-ancestry and single-ancestry meta-analyses identified 242 loci (99 novel; P < 5 x 10(-8)), 80% of which had no significant evidence of between-ancestry heterogeneity. Analyses restricted to individuals of European ancestry with equivalent sample size would have led to 24 fewer new loci. Compared with single-ancestry analyses, equivalent-sized trans-ancestry fine-mapping reduced the number of estimated variants in 99% credible sets by a median of 37.5%. Genomic-feature, gene-expression and gene-set analyses revealed distinct biological signatures for each trait, highlighting different underlying biological pathways. Our results increase our understanding of diabetes pathophysiology by using trans-ancestry studies for improved power and resolution. A trans-ancestry meta-analysis of GWAS of glycemic traits in up to 281,416 individuals identifies 99 novel loci, of which one quarter was found due to the multi-ancestry approach, which also improves fine-mapping of credible variant sets.Peer reviewe

Randomized Controlled Trial of Extended Perioperative Counseling in Enhanced Recovery After Colorectal Surgery

BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery programs reduce the length of hospital stay in patients who undergo elective colorectal resection, but the reasons for this reduction are not well understood. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the impact of extended perioperative counseling in treatment groups that were otherwise the same with respect to enhanced recovery after surgery criteria. DESIGN: Patients eligible for open or laparoscopic colorectal resection were randomly assigned to extended counseling (repeated information and guidance by a dedicated nurse) or standard counseling. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a single institution. PATIENTS: Patients (n = 164) were randomly assigned to enhanced recovery after surgery plus extended counseling (n = 80) or enhanced recovery after surgery with standard counseling (n = 84). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary end point was the total length of hospital stay. Discharge criteria were defined. Secondary end points were postoperative complications, postoperative length of hospital stay, readmission rate, and mortality. RESULTS: Total hospital stay was significantly shorter among patients randomly assigned to enhanced recovery after surgery plus extended counseling (median 5 (range 2–29) days vs 7 (range 2–39) days, p < 0.001). The 2 treatment groups differed in adherence to the elements of postoperative enhanced recovery after surgery such as mobilization and total oral intake. The 2 treatment groups did not differ in overall, major, and minor morbidity; reoperation rate; readmission rate; and 30-day mortality. LIMITATIONS: The main limitation of this study was the absence of blinding. CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative information and guidance were important factors in enhanced recovery after surgery care and were associated with a significantly shorter length of hospital stay. Our findings suggest that perioperative counseling enables patients to comply with the elements of postoperative enhanced recovery after surgery and thereby reduces the length of hospital stay.
