ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ ПРОГРАММЫ В МЕДИЦИНЕ ОБРАЗА ЖИЗНИ: В ФОКУСЕ – ВОПРОСЫ ПИТАНИЯ

The importance of lifestyle in the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases is recognized throughout the world, but in real life, insufficient attention is paid to discussing these issues with patients, often due to insufficient knowledge. To fill this gap, many countries are implementing educational programs in lifestyle medicine with certification of specialists, which not only significantly contributes to the improvement of public health, but also reduces economic costs in the healthcare system. As a component of lifestyle medicine educational programs, a nutrition educational program for senior and mid-level healthcare professionals is presented, which can serve as a model for teamwork in the field of nutrition. A nurse, who has undergone some training, can take her part of the responsibility of working with a patient, relieving the burden of the doctor and maintaining the ethical standards of the relationship with them. In order to expand the knowledge of doctors in the field of nutrition, reports on the principles of healthy diet among women were presented during 2 conferences, organized by the “Health and Healthcare” NGO in March and May of this year. All the presented events have received accreditation.
