Background The competencies of medical staff in the public health emergency system and evaluated the effects of system-based professional training were investigated. Material and Methods A competency model for individuals in a public health emergency management system was developed, which contained 33 items with 5 domains. A competency-based intervention was performed. A total of 68 participants from 4 health emergency teams in Xinjiang, China were recruited and randomly divided into 2 groups: the intervention (N = 38) and control groups (N = 30). Participants in the intervention group received competency-based training, while those in the control group received no training. All participants responded to the COVID-19 activities. The competencies of medical staff in the 5 domains were then analyzed in the pre-intervention, post-first training, and post-COVID-19 intervention using a self-designed questionnaire. Results Participants’ competencies were at the middle level at baseline. After the first training, competencies in the 5 domains significantly improved in the intervention group; in the control group, there was a significant increase in professional quality compared in the pre-training. After the response to COVID-19, the mean scores of competencies in the 5 domains significantly increased in both the intervention and control groups compared with those in the post-first training. Psychological resilience scores were higher in the intervention group than in the control group, whereas no significant differences in competencies were found in other domains. Conclusions Competency-based interventions provided practice and showed a positive effect on improving the competencies of medical staff in public health teams. Med Pr. 2023;74(1)

Kryzys wywołany koronawirusem doprowadził w wymiarze niemal globalnym do istotnych ograniczeń wielu praw podstawowych, w tym prawa do głosowania. Celem artykułu jest wzbogacenie o doświadczenia państw Grupy Wyszehradzkiej rozwijającego się w ramach międzynarodowej nauki prawa nurtu badającego oddziaływanie w dłuższej perspektywie czasowej na rozwiązania wyborcze zagrożenia dla zdrowia publicznego. W opracowaniu, będącym rezultatem współpracy badawczej finansowanej przez Międzynarodowy Fundusz Wyszehradzki, opisano działania dostosowawcze wdrożone przez cztery państwa Grupy Wyszehradzkiej, które miały umożliwić przeprowadzenie w tych państwach wyborów ogólnopaństwowych lub samorządowych w trakcie globalnej pandemii. Środki te przedstawiono w sposób uwzględniający kontekst globalnych tendencji wyborczych. W oparciu o wyniki wspomnianych badań wskazano również spodziewane cechy popandemicznych ramowych warunków przeprowadzania wyborów w państwach Grupy Wyszehradzkiej. Omówiono też alternatywne reżimy wyborcze promujące elastyczność i odporność, łączące elementy tradycyjnego systemu głosowania z dodatkowymi obostrzeniami służącymi ochronie zdrowia publicznego oraz z szerokim zastosowaniem mechanizmów głosowania korespondencyjnego i elektronicznego.

The coronavirus crisis led to severe restrictions of numerous fundamental rights almost globally, amongst which the right to vote was also concerned. Our research article aims to integrate the experience of the Visegrád region into the emerging strand of international legal scholarship from the long-term impact of the public health emergency on electoral frameworks. Based on a research collaboration funded by the International Visegrád Fund, the study presents the adaptative measures implemented by the four Visegrád countries to hold national or municipal elections in the shadow of the global pandemic, and contextualizes these interventions in the light of the global electoral tendencies. Finally, based on our research, the expected features of post-COVID electoral frameworks in the Visegrád region were also provided. Alternative electoral regimes are discussed for the promotion of flexibility and resilience, which are grounded on the combined elements of the traditional voting system, on additional public health requirements, and also on the extensive application of postal- and electronic voting.
