ON SOCIAL NETWORKS, DIGITAL MEDIA, AND MENTAL HEALTH.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: The paper attempts to investigate the impact of social networks and digital media on mental health and psychological well-being. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The data collection was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar databases. Research papers were identified according to the search terms "cyberspace", "cyberpsychology", "digital media", "virtual reality", "social networks", "mental health", "psychological well-being", "beauty", "beauty standards". The authors used integrative anthropological approach, interpretive research paradigm, and multidisciplinary analysis. CONCLUSION: Conclusion: The digital world is a relatively recent phenomenon, therefore, the potential relationship between its use and mental health and psychological well-being has not yet been adequately explored. Most of the research has been conducted over the last decades; and until now the scientific community has not been able to fully interpret the obtained results and come to final conclusions. As Timpano and Beard rightly pointed out, the future research should be focused on types and motivations for the use of social networks; identify potential mechanisms linking the social media use and mental health symptoms; reveal an impact of social networks on declines in face-to-face social interactions; understand the link of social networks with maladaptive coping strategies and health behaviors. The relationship between social networks, digital media use and psychological functioning is not straightforward and depends on many factors. However, we should not forget that there is nothing new under the sun. The same people act in both digital and physical spaces. And the psychological problems that are revealed in the digital universe are the same that "accompany" the actors of the digital communication process in the real, physical world. Anyway, we cannot avoid cyberspace, so we have to learn how to interact within this challenging world.

CURRENT ASPECTS OF DELIVERY IN HEALTHY WOMEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DATA OF RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: to study the current aspects of the course of labor in healthy women using retrospective indicators. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To study this topic, an analysis of 1,078 births on the basis of the maternity ward for pregnant women with obstetric pathology of the State Institution «IPAG. acad. O.M. Lukyanova National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine¼. It was found that among all births, the share of first-borns was 602 (55.8 %) women, of whom 451 (41.8 %) were pregnant for the first time, and only 86 (8 %) were healthy pregnant women. RESULTS: Results: It was found that among 86 births the frequency of physiological births was 64%, of which in 47.7% of cases the birth was complicated, and pathological - 36%. The most common complications during childbirth were: premature rupture of membranes (PRPO), episio- and perineotomy, trauma to the birth canal. The main causes of pathological childbirth: abnormalities of labor, fetal distress, defect of the placenta and membranes, clinically narrow pelvis, malposition of the fetus and early postpartum hemorrhage. All children were born alive. It should be noted that all births where the Apgar score was ≤ 6 had no partner support, and the women themselves did not receive any preparation for childbirth. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: According to our data, in almost healthy women who gave birth for the first time and had no perinatal loss in the anamnesis, did not undergo prenatal training and did not have partner support during childbirth, the number of complications during childbirth is increasing. Therefore, this group of healthy pregnant women needs more detailed study and analysis, development of prenatal training algorithms to improve perinatal indicators.
