THE ROLE OF SPIRITUAL VALUES IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF A MEDICAL WORKER

Abstract

The article presents a philosophical analysis of the role of spiritual values in the professional activity of a medical worker. It is noted that in the modern conditions of civilizational development there are new challenges that actualize the problem of the value dimension of human activity. This is primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which spread almost worldwide during the year. As a result of the intense spread of coronavirus disease around the globe, medical workers today find themselves in extremely difficult or even extreme working conditions. In addition, in some countries this category of workers does not have adequate financial and social guarantees. As a result, there is a problem of value measurement of professional activity of medical workers. The essence of this problem is the contradictory relationship between the state (government), society and medical workers, where the effectiveness of the latter is considered on the basis of its compliance with moral, legal and other social requirements, without taking into account the needs, interests and desires of health workers.
It is stated that the formation of a professional medical worker should necessarily be aimed at the development of a spiritually rich, value-oriented personality, which is conscientious, strong-willed, responsible, competent, persistent, purposeful; uses trust, duty, self-improvement, rational use of its own essential forces, living space, constantly improves the forms and types of activities, cultivates a careful attitude to all forms of life.
