Objectives: The aim of our study is to provide a general idea of the health values of the population, their attitude towards people with disabilities, and, to prove the importance of change by highlighting possible shortcomings. Methods: In our pilot study, a total of 111 people were interviewed. The questionnaire used in the study included the Hofmeister-Tóth and Neulinger value list. Health values and attitudes towards disability were measured using the MAS (Attitudes Toward Disabled People Scale – dimensions: affective, cognitive, behavioral), and the ATDP-O (Attitudes Toward Disabled People) scale. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: Health ranks high on the value scale. Most people consider their own state of health as important (4.701) and good (4.126). Based on the results of the MAS questionnaire, respondents show a very negative attitude in all three dimensions. A significant weak correlation was found between the behavioral dimension, overt actions, verbal expressions of behavior, and the ATDP-O attitude scale towards people with disabilities ( r = 0.202, p = 0.034). Conclusion: Our results suggest that forming the right attitude is essential, and this can be achieved through knowledge transfer. It is important to strengthen multicultural societies, so that we can create a healthier, more livable environment in our world.
目的:我们研究的目的是提供人口健康价值观的总体概念,他们对残疾人的态度,并通过突出可能的缺点来证明变革的重要性。方法:在我们的初步研究中,共采访了111人。本研究使用的问卷包括Hofmeister-Tóth和Neulinger值表。使用MAS(对残疾人的态度量表-维度:情感、认知、行为)和ATDP-O(对残疾人的态度)量表测量健康价值观和对残疾的态度。采用SPSS 26.0软件对收集的数据进行分析。结果:健康在价值量表上排名较高。大多数人认为自己的健康状况是重要的(4.701)和良好的(4.126)。根据MAS问卷调查的结果,受访者在所有三个维度上都表现出非常消极的态度。行为维度、显性行为、言语行为表达与ATDP-O态度量表存在显著的弱相关(r = 0.202, p = 0.034)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,形成正确的态度是至关重要的,这可以通过知识转移来实现。加强多元文化社会非常重要,这样我们才能在世界上创造一个更健康、更宜居的环境。

CÃl:本研究旨在提高护理住院大便失禁(FI)患者的护士对失禁相关皮炎(IAD)的认识。方法:这是一项描述性横断面探索性研究,采用单组前后测试设计来评估 IAD 知识。这项研究包括 60 名护士,有关 IAD 的教育课程持续了约 60 分钟。教育内容包括 IAD 的定义、预防和治疗。采用 McNemar 检验和 Wilcoxon 配对检验来检验护士对 IAD 的认知差异。结果:教育课程结束后,护士们对 FI 及其对 IAD 发生的影响以及预防和治疗方案的了解有了非常显著的提高(P < 0.001)。教育后知识测试的平均总分(8.66 ± 1.50)明显高于教育前测试的平均总分(6.82 ± 1.50)。结论:研究发现,接受教育后的护士对 IAD 的分类、危险因素、预防和治疗有了更好的了解。需要对护士的 IAD 知识进行持续评估,以规划教育计划,确保为患者提供更好的护理。

Purpose: To examine the awareness and attitude of paediatric nursing students, adolescents, and nurses towards virtual nursing and advanced devices for type one diabetes. Design and setting: This research adopted a descriptive correlation design. It was conducted at the faculty of Nursing in Benha University, and the Paediatric Department and Outpatient Clinic at the specialized paediatric hospital in Benha city, Egypt. Sample: Simple random sampling was used to select participants over a period of two months. Instruments: Demographic details and a structured questionnaire were used to assess awareness of advanced devices and virtual nursing. An adapted Likert scale was used to evaluate the attitudes of participants. Results: Most paediatric nurses demonstrated high levels of awareness, whereas adolescents and paediatric nursing students showed relatively poor awareness. The majority of participants exhibited positive attitudes towards virtual nursing and the use of advanced devices for managing type one diabetes. The relationships between the awareness and attitudes of participants, and their age, gender, and economic status were found to be positive and statistically significant. Conclusions: Most research participants had no previous experience with virtual nursing care and so their awareness of the topic was poor; even though they generally exhibited positive attitudes towards virtual nursing care and the use of modern devices to manage type one diabetes.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been widely examined to be both an economic crisis and health with updates of increasing the mental health and well-being of university students. This study examines the relationships between physical health, social support, and mental health literacy with the mental well-being of Malaysian university students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study population comprised 199 students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with self-administered questionnaires that used the Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support instrument, and the Mental Health Literacy Scale. The survey also included items from the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). The results of this study showed that physical health had a positive and strong relationship with mental well-being. Similarly, the results indicated that social support had a significant and positive relationship with mental well-being. However, mental health literacy was not significantly associated with mental well-being. The results of this research might provide policymakers, practitioners, and university management with useful insights that foster the positive outcome of conducting intervention programs to improve the mental well-being of students.

Roma drug users are a group that typically do not use therapeutic services for drug addiction. However, a higher rate of self-recovery among Roma drug users can be observed within outpatient services than among the majority population. The described phenomenen is based on long-term observations and interviews with Roma clients at a contact center (an ambulant social services center for drug users) in the South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic. This article examines the cultural specifics associated with substance withdrawal among Roma drug users in the Czech Republic. Our analysis of self-recovery focuses on the description of motives for quitting drug use, along with the use of individual strategies and specific rituals associated with cessation, which are interconnected in the context of the cultural specifics of the Roma minority in the Czech Republic. The results demonstrate the impact of social capital on self-healing, where the influence of a broader and more cohesive family social network is shown. The social capital represented by the family of Roma drug users motivated quitting the most.

Introduction: Nursing students are a vulnerable population during the COVID-19 pandemic because they experience a higher level of stress and mental health problems than the non-healthcare student population, putting them at a higher risk for suicidal behaviour.Aim: To explore suicidality among nursing students and assess the association between independent variables and suicidality. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 670 nursing students from 5 Indonesian universities who were recruited using consecutive sampling. Self-administered validated instruments consisted of 8 sections: sociodemographic questionnaire, RSES to assess self-esteem, BHS to assess hopelessness, UCLA-3 to assess loneliness, GSES to assess self-efficacy, PHQ-9 to assess depression, CD-RISC-10 to assess resilience, and SBQ-R to assess suicidality. Binary logistic regression was employed to identify significant predictors of suicidality.Results: Suicidality prevalence among nursing students was 22.8%. The following factors were significantly associated with suicidality (p < 0.05): low resilience (AOR = 2.044;95%CI: 1.309-3.192), loneliness (AOR = 1.609;95%CI: 1.040-2.492), hopelessness (AOR = 4.448;95%CI: 2.356-8.398), and depression (AOR = 9.413;95%CI: 5.795-15.288).Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that resilience, loneliness, hopelessness, and depression are risk factors for suicidality among nursing students. This outcome can be used as a basis to develop appropriate suicide prevention strategies.
