Introduction. Clinical anatomy and operative surgery occupies an important place in the system of higher medical education. Based on the knowledge acquired by higher education graduates in the specialty “paramedic” when studying such fundamental disciplines as human anatomy, normal physiology, clinical anatomy and operative surgery, it is designed to equip the future medical specialist with the knowledge necessary to assess the condition of an injured person in emergency situations, performing vital procedures and manipulations.
The aim of the study – to investigate the features of the acquisition of practical skills in clinical anatomy and operative surgery by higher education students majoring in paramedics.
The main part. The performance and mastery of practical skills in clinical anatomy and operative surgery of 125 higher education applicants in the specialty of «paramedic» was assessed, who were divided into two groups: individuals with a predominantly dominant right hand and left hand. The assessment was carried out according to a twelve-point system. It was found that right-handed students mastered the necessary practical skills better than left-handed individuals. The average score for the performance and mastery of practical skills by right-handed paramedics was (8.96±0.12), and left-handed - (8.10±0.12), and the qualitative success of the latter was lower by 13.9% (p<0.001) compared to the former.
Conclusions. As a result of the pedagogical experiment and the results obtained, it was established that left-handed and right-handed higher education students in the specialty of «paramedic» are characterized by different psychophysiological features and they acquire the necessary practical skills differently. For full and effective mastery of practical skills in clinical anatomy and operative surgery, more attention should be paid to paramedics with the dominance of the right hemisphere of the brain, that is, with the predominant dominance of the left hand. Further study of the psychophysiological features of higher education students in the specialty of «paramedic» and taking them into account when performing and mastering practical skills in the academic discipline will help to master them more fully and effectively.
