Introduction:
Doctors play a critical role in providing healthcare
se ices and ensuring the well-being of patients.
Hygiene, both personal and environmental, is a
fundamental aspect of their work. Maintaining
high levels of hygiene is crucial to prevent the
spread of infections, reduce the risk of
cross-contamination, and promote patient safety.
This paper aims to explore the key features of
doctors' work that are impo ant from a hygienic
point of view.
Objectives
1. Continuous Education and Professional
Development: Doctors understand the impo ance
of staying up-to-date with the latest medical
knowledge and advancements. They engage in
continuous education programs, attend medical
conferences, and pa icipate in workshops and
seminars. This commitment to learning ensures
that doctors are equipped with the most current
information and best practices in their eld.
2. Patient Communication: E ective
communication is a vital skill for doctors. They
need to establish a rappo with their patients,
actively listen to their concerns, and provide clear
explanations about medical conditions, treatment
options, and preventive measures. Good
communication helps build trust, ensures patient
understanding, and promotes collaboration in
decision-making.
3. Diagnostic Skills: Doctors are trained to analyze
symptoms, conduct thorough physical
examinations, and order appropriate diagnostic
tests to identify the underlying cause of a patient's
illness. They rely on their knowledge, clinical
experience, and diagnostic tools to make accurate
diagnoses. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial
for e ective treatment planning.
4. Treatment and Management: Based on the
diagnosis, doctors develop treatment plans
tailored to each patient's needs. They prescribe
medications, pe orm procedures, and recommend
lifestyle modi cations to manage and improve the
health of their patients. Doctors also monitor the
progress of treatment and make necessa
adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome.
5. Collaboration with Healthcare Team: Doctors
often work as pa of a multidisciplina healthcare
team. They collaborate with nurses, pharmacists,
therapists, and other healthcare professionals to
provide comprehensive care to patients. This
collaboration ensures that patients receive
coordinated and holistic care, with each team
member contributing their specialized expe ise.
6. Ethical Responsibilities: Doctors adhere to
ethical principles in their practice. They prioritize
patient con dentiality, ensuring that sensitive
medical information is kept private. Doctors obtain
informed consent from patients before pe orming
any procedures or treatments, ensuring that
patients are fully informed about potential risks
and bene ts. Doctors also prioritize the well-being
and best interests of their patients, making
decisions that are in the patients' best medical
interests.
7. Empathy and Compassion: Doctors recognize
the emotional and psychological impact that
medical conditions can have on patients and their
families. They strive to provide emotional suppo ,
show empathy, and demonstrate compassion
towards their patients. This compassionate
approach helps patients feel cared for and
suppo ed throughout their healthcare journey.
8. Time Management and Organization: Doctors
often have demanding schedules with multiple
responsibilities. They need to e ectively manage
their time to provide quality care to their patients.
This involves prioritizing tasks, handling
emergencies e ciently, and maintaining accurate
medical records. E ective time management and
organization skills allow doctors to provide timely
and e cient care.
9. Research and Innovation: Doctors contribute to
medical research by conducting studies, publishing
their ndings, and exploring innovative
approaches to healthcare. Their research helps
advance medical knowledge and improve patient
outcomes. Doctors also stay updated with the
latest research in their eld, incorporating
evidence-based practices into their clinical
decision-making.
10. Advocacy: Doctors advocate for their patients'
rights and healthcare needs. They may engage in
public health initiatives, promote health education,
and pa icipate in policy-making to improve
healthcare systems and address health disparities.
By advocating for their patients, doctors strive to
ensure equitable access to quality healthcare and
improved health outcomes for all.

Methods and materials:


According to a recent repo , thousands of people
across the world die from infections acquired while
receiving healthcare. Hygiene is one of the easiest,
nonetheless, an impo ant means to reduce the
spread of diseases and infection. It is pa icularly
impo ant for healthcare professionals, such as
nurses, doctors, and healthcare technicians, who
are in direct contact with patients.
Two types of microorganisms colonize hands,
resident ora, and transient ora. Common
pathogens found on the hands of healthcare
providers, such as
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA),
vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE),
MDR-Gram Negative bacteria (GNBs), Candida
spp., and Clostridium di cle, can su ive for more
than 150 hours. In the current coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the highly
contagious severe acute respirato syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, the impo ance
of handwashing has been recognized across the
globe.
Oriental Renaissance:
Innovative, educational, natural and social sciences
Scienti c Journal Impact Factor Advanced
Sciences Index Factor 1.9. In the families of
polyclinic therapists this ratio is lower - 1.5 and 1.6
respectively, and signi cantly lower in the families
of nursing sta - 0.9.
Material de ciencies in the families of the
contingent under study are manifested in the low
level of housekeeping, which requires a lot of time
for housekeeping. Eve second nurse spends
more than 8 hours a week for shopping, cooking
and cleaning. At the same time, eve third
respondent spends the same amount of time
watching TV. At the same time, physical activity is
signi cantly reduced among the majority of
medical workers - only 28.1% of them regularly
engage in physical activity and spo s, and only
26.0% do morning exercises. A total of 63.1% of
employees are not satis ed with their leisure time,
half of them attributed it to lack of money, a
qua er of them to tiredness after work, a sixth
pa of them to lack of time and only 0.5% of
health workers are not personally organised.
Material problems are also a major cause of
con ict in the family, cited by 10.9% of doctors and
15.9% of nurses.
Among the socio-hygienic health risk factors of
medical workers, the problems of rational nutrition,
sleep adequacy and the spread of bad habits are
pa icularly acute. According to the su ey, 2/3 of
those su eyed have haphazard eating habits, no
proper breakfast, 1/2 have one or no hot meals,
and 1/5 abuse ca eine-containing beverages. At
the same time, 74.5% of employees did not
consider healthy eating to be an impo ant priority.
Almost half of all doctors and nurses repo ed
problems with quality and duration of their night's
rest: 12.4% of them had less than 6 hours of sleep,
62.1% of them had 6-7 hours, and 59.5% repo ed
problems with insu cient and chronic sleep
deprivation. Sleeping problems are most
pronounced among surgical workers and among
women, which is due to the speci cs of work and
lack of skills to e ectively combat stress and
chronic fatigue.
According to sociological su ey among medical
workers various forms of harmful dependencies are
rather widespread: among male doctors 37.9% of
them smoke, and it has been more than 10 years -
28.2%, 8.7% consume alcohol several times a week,
almost daily - 1.9%, among female doctors and
nursing sta there are less individuals smoking no
more than 10%, frequent alcohol drinkers - no
more than 3.7%. The presence of drug addiction
was noted by 5.0% of those su eyed, with 22.3%
of male doctors, 14.8% of female doctors and
30.5% of nurses repo ing occasional abuse of
medicines.
A peculiarity of the population under study is
traditionally low medical activity. In spite of results
of self-assessment of health, according to which
only 65,% of male
Discussion and result:
According to the su ey data, it was found that
physicians are dominated by those of older
working age: the average age of male physicians
was 41.9 years and that of female physicians 43.5
years. The medical teams of the surgical
depa ments are the youngest, since the number
of employees under 40 years of age accounted for
more than a half of them (58.7%). The Therapeutic
Clinic, Polyclinic and Ancilla Depa ments have a
much smaller propo ion of young doctors - 44.4%
and 27.9%, respectively. The average age of the
nursing sta was 34.2 years, with no signi cant
di erences depending on the depa ment pro le.
The study of the marital status of the respondents
showed that about half of the inte iewed nurses
were married: 42.3% were o cially registered and
6.2% were civilly married. At the same time, the
highest share of married employees was obse ed
among male doctors of surgical units - 68.3%,
which characterizes this contingent as the most
resistant to professional and socially determined
stressors. Among nurses, unmarried is 44.3%,
which is associated with the younger age of this
group of respondents.
The average per capita income per family member
exceeding the subsistence minimum (1 million 200
soms in 2021) was noted only by one third of
doctors and one sixth of nurses. At the same time,
the most favourable nancial situation is in
surgeons' families, where the ratio of per capita
income to subsistence minimum
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the hygienic practices followed by
doctors are of utmost impo ance in ensuring
patient safety and preventing the spread of
infections. Personal hygiene practices,
environmental hygiene, infection control measures,
and education and training all contribute to
maintaining a hygienic healthcare setting.
Adherence to these practices not only protects the
health of patients but also safeguards the
well-being of doctors and healthcare professionals.
It is crucial for doctors to prioritize and uphold
high standards of hygiene in their work to provide
optimal care and minimize the risk of
healthcare-associated infections.
