In Uzbekistan three levels of training are recognized for doctors: first, second and higher. These are assigned through examination and there are various postgraduate training schemes for psychiatrists for these higher qualifications. The training and retraining of doctors is carried out in specialist training courses: psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, psychotherapy, forensic psychiatry, self-harm, medical psychology and narcology. Professional time is specifically allocated for attendance at these courses, though this differs for general practitioners, family physicians and specialists.

We first prepared a substance use risk factor assessment (SURFA) instrument, based on modern lifestyle and literature. The development of SURFA questionnaire consists of six stages: literature review, initial ideas for questionnaire content, discussions, questionnaire structure, pilot study and face validity, and questionnaire validation. After completion of the preparation, this instrument was distributed in four settlements belonging to three regions of Ukraine, and those were 3-million population cities (Kyiv, Odessa, and Kharkiv) and small town in the Kharkiv region (Valki). Participants were recruited between December 2016 and April 2020 in Ukraine. This research was approved by the State Institution “Institute of Neurology, Psychiatry and Narcology of the National Academy of Medical Science of Ukraine” Review Board (protocol No. 10, 13.10.2016).
A journey through Russian mental health care: A review and evaluation
Published in International Journal of Mental Health, 2019
Articles regarding drug and alcohol abuse were not analyzed, because “narcology” (the name in Russia for medicine that deals with alcohol and drug abuse) has been an independent service within psychiatry since 1975. It has its own network of dispensaries, for instance, and in the S&CP there were just a few articles about it, since the field has its own thematic journals. Furthermore, not all articles considering social issues of MHC were included, such as articles on psychiatric services for children and the elderly; on some vocational groups such as the Navy and colliers; forensic psychiatry; and organization of psychiatric help after terrorist attacks or catastrophes. Translations from foreign languages and essays (general reflections about the role of psychiatry today) were excluded also.

At the time of primary specialization, disciplines that are adjacent to psychiatry are studied. In most countries, the curriculum includes issues of neurology and narcology. Issues of medical psychology are presented in the programmes of Armenia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. In Kyrgyzstan, this section is a part of the “Pedagogy and Psychology” course. Issues of forensic psychiatry are included in the programme of primary specialization in Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan, and psychotherapy is included in Armenia. At the same time, most experts believe that the programmes of primary specialization in psychiatry should embrace issues of medical psychology, psychotherapy, children’s, social, and forensic psychiatry, as well as sexology.
