Item Analysis of accidental transmission impacts in the chain «waste management system – public health»(Sumy State University, 2023) Зябіна, Євгенія Анатоліївна; Зябина, Евгения Анатольевна; Ziabina, Yevheniia Anatoliivna; Хоменко, Лілія Миколаївна; Хоменко, Лилия Николаевна; Khomenko, Liliia Mykolaivna; Osei Owusu, E.K.The article summarises arguments and counter-arguments within the scientific debate on the generated waste impact on public health. The main goal of the conducted research is analysis of accidental transmission effects in the chain «waste management system – public health». The systematisation of sources and approaches to solving the problem of waste management system for the population health proved that over 900 publications on the researched topic were cited by in the Web of Science database. At the same time, there are the TOP-5 leading countries in which the problem of the generated waste impact on public health is actively studied: the USA (198 publications), India (107 publications), China (103 publications), England (86 publications), Italy (49 publications). The urgency of solving this scientific problem lies in the fact that in the process of urbanisation and constant industry development, the world waste level is increasing. It provokes a negative impact on the population health. In the article, the analysis of accidental transmission effects in the chain «waste management system – public health» is carried out in the following logical sequence: bibliometric analysis of publications on the researched topic; multiple correlation-regression analysis; check of the built model adequacy using the average approximation error. The conducted research tools were: VOSviewer (an application for producing and visualising bibliometric networks) and MS Excel. The study period was 2000-2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. Dynamic indicators of the waste volume and disposal, number of the first-time registered disease cases in Ukraine were chosen as the study object. These indicators provide an opportunity to describe significance of the waste management system impact on the population morbidity level. The article presents results of the multiple correlation-regression analysis. It confirmed that with an increase in the waste volume by 1%, the number of the first-time registered disease cases will rise by 0.73%. The study empirically confirms the constructed model adequacy regarding influence of the generated and disposed waste volume and the population health level. The research results can be useful for further scientific activity on this topic.Item Improving the system of healthcare institution management in conditions of pandemic threats(Sumy State University, 2023) Volk, A.; Sygyda, N.; Zaitseva, T.The article is devoted to analysing activities of the infectious disease unit of a medical institution in one of Ukrainian regions. The unit is designed for intensive care of patients. The study main goal is to develop a strategy for further development of this unit to improve quality of its services and patient satisfaction. During the research, the initial conditions for the in-patient medical care provision were discussed. A comprehensive analysis of activities and structural problems within the infectious unit was carried out. Based on the study results, a strategic plan for further development was generated to enhance the unit efficiency and quality of its provided medical services. During analysing the infectious unit work, it was found that the in-patient care provision meets the worldwide infectious care norms. In the conditions of reforming the Ukrainian medical industry, many issues remain unresolved (in particular, restructuring and improvement of the healthcare system as a whole and that of the infectious disease unit). The latter plays an important role in creating a high-quality national program for medical service provision by healthcare institutions. Therefore, we succeed in improving resilience in the face of public health threats and risks. The analysis showed current positive trends in understanding the importance of this structural unit activities within the healthcare system. Besides, new ways of its modernisation are found. The authors substantiate this area development requires the national quality control indicators, the marketing policy improvement as well as the strengthened organisational and methodological role of the infectious disease service in healthcare institutions. Specific recommendations were formulated regarding ways to develop the infectious disease unit. They will help raise service satisfaction among patients of medical institutions. The obtained results are of practical importance and can be used in managing healthcare institutions at the national and regional levels.
