The necessity of distance learning of specialists practitioners, in particular in the field of knowledge «Health care», which is induced by COVID-19, causes a significant public response. This is due to a possible decline in the quality of higher education, and therefore the security of citizens and the state. Consequently, the search of modern, effective methods and means of learning and training for healthcare specialists is relevant. Quarantine restrictions of educational communication have sharpened attention, firstly, to telecommunication means, secondly, to active learning methods, and thirdly, to the mobilization of internal reserves to expand the practical educational component. This is how the idea of simulated professional support arose. It was realized by the students of physical therapy during the rehabilitation period of a university lecturer. It was the postoperative period of endoprosthesis and simulated professional support was provided with the help of telenursing. The essence of the simulation was that the real rehabilitation period had already passed, but it was agreed to repeat it for a didactic purpose. 46 first-year students of the specialty «Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy» took part in the experiment. At first, they were trained a set of exercises (according to the recommendations of the clinic), while paying attention to the practical, psychological and pedagogical aspects of interaction. Then, students conducted rehabilitation classes with the help of telecommunication means, which lasted for a month. An incoming survey was conducted (based on motivation of professional activity): among the students and it showed that 32 of them (69.6%) are positively professionally motivated, 45 respondents (97.8%) felt subjective satisfaction with their professional choice. The final study (an interview) with the question «How has the attitude to professional activity changed») represents that 31 (67.4%) respondents were ready for practical conduction of similar professional support. Telenursing proves its effectiveness not only as a means of actual patient care (according to the literature), but also as a kind of learning, using a case study (according to our data). However, the telecommunication means, which were chosen for rehabilitation, including video communication via Viber and Messenger as more common among the potential customers, did not fully satisfy students who preferred Microsoft Teams and Google Meet as less related to social media and personal profiles data, as well as with better possibilities of lesson planning. This indicates the formation of professional competencies that are based on the combination of psychological and pedagogical, information and communication competencies, hence, the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The aim of modern therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is to reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent the development of relapse exacerbations, maintain pulmonary function at an optimal level and improve the quality of life of patients. The solution to these problems is pulmonary rehabilitation. Search for effective ways of providing an educational component, assessing the impact of various training programs and implementing a self-management strategy continues. Purpose: to analyze modern approaches, advantages and disadvantages of educational programs on self-management of people with COPD and establish the role of a physical therapy specialist in providing them. Material & Methods: the search was conducted on the resource of the US National Center for Biotechnological Information PubMed and in the database of scientific evidence on physical therapy PEDro. According to the results of the search in the databases, 329 links were obtained, of which, after excluding those that did NOT meet the necessary criteria, 14 publications were selected for subsequent analysis. Results: 29 educational topics related to self-management education were identified, which in different combinations are recommended for study in educational programs for patients with COPD. Training topics were grouped into four training modules that took into account the goals and objectives of the self-management strategy and ensure their solution. The most often competent in implementing educational programs for patients with COPD are a pulmonologist, physical therapist, nurse, pharmacist, occupational therapist, and social worker. The content, results, advantages and limitations of various self-management training programs are analyzed. Conclusions: today there are not enough practical recommendations and clear criteria that training programs on self-management for patients with COPD should meet. The analysis of modern clinical studies on the introduction of self-management training is the basis for the development of Ukrainian-language training programs.
