Abstract Introduction. The performance of any job requires the expression of adequate emotions that are consistent with the roles assigned to a given position. This fact has led to an enormous interest in methods of expression and concealing emotions, especially in management, business, education and healthcare. Aim. Discussion of the influence of emotional intelligence and emotional labour on the work of a nurse. Material and methods. Literature databases were reviewed using the key words: “intelligence”, “emotional intelligence”, “emotional labour” and in combination with the word “nursing”. Discussion. Emotional intelligence is critical to the quality of patient care. Nurses make an additional psychological effort that contributes to their professionalism and effectiveness, which is referred to as “emotional labour”. Due to the way this work is performed, two its types have been distinguished: “surface acting” and “deep acting”. The effects of both types of emotional labour differ significantly in favor of deep acting. Conclusions. The relationships between nurses’ involvement in emotional labour and the quality of nursing services were found. However, little is known about how the emotional labour affects their own health, professional career or job satisfaction. Further research should be able to provide answers to these questions.

Abstract Aim. To identify and compare research results aimed at determining the incidence of aggression of hospitalized patients towards nurses using Violence and Aggression of Patients Scale (VAPS) and the Perceptions of Prevalence of Aggression Scale (POPAS) measuring tools. Material and methods. The sample consisted of 1012 nurses from selected healthcare settings in the Czech Republic. Data was collected from June to November 2018. Identification of the occurrence of aggression of hospitalized patients towards nurses was performed using two measuring tools: POPAS and VAPS. Both tools describe specific forms of aggressive behaviour. Results. We identified a very high incidence of aggression of hospitalized patients towards nurses. As much as 97% of respondents encountered various manifestations and forms of aggression from patients, 61.96% of respondents encountered physical aggression (spitting, biting, scratching, pinching), and 76.4% experienced verbal aggression. A significant difference was identified between results obtained with POPAS and VAPS. Conclusions. With the use of two reliable measuring tools, we identified different experiences with aggression of hospitalized patients towards nurses in the same set of respondents, which points to the issue of comparing results of the incidence patient aggression towards nurses identified by different measuring tools.

Abstract Aim. Nurses are the largest professional group among health care workers. They encounter numerous health problems resulting from the specificity of their professional activity, including musculoskeletal diseases, low quality of sleep, cardiovascular diseases or glucose intolerance, obesity and depressive symptoms. Physical exercise protects against these disorders, but the compliance with the WHO recommendations of physical activity is low among nurses. The main purpose of the review was to identify the most frequently appearing barriers to undertaking physical activity in nurses population. Material and methods. The literature search of articles published from 1979-2020 in PubMed included the following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): ‘Nurses’ or ‘Nursing Personnel’ or ‘Nursing Students’ or ‘Health Personnel’ or ‘Healthcare Workers’ or ‘Health Care Professionals’ or ‘Health Care Providers’; Physical Activity’ or ‘Physical Fitness’ or ‘Exercise’ or ‘Exercise Training’ or ‘Acute Exercise’ or ‘Aerobic Exercise’ or ‘Isometric Exercise’; ‘Barriers’ or ‘Benefits’. Results. The lack of time, tiredness, family responsibilities, inconvenient facilities or schedule, but also stress, physical appearance concerns, the cost of facilities, interpersonal barriers and the lack of support are identified as barriers to exercise. Another barrier is also the lack of knowledge of the proper dose of physical activity. Conclusions. Promoting physical activity among nurses seems to be necessary.

Abstract Introduction. An important priority of provided care is the focus on the quality of life of the patients and their families and care for bio-psycho-social and spiritual needs of the patients. Aim. The aim was to identify the unmet needs of patients and to determine the impact of targeted interventions on the unmet needs of patients. Material and methods. The sample consisted of 151 patients with PND. The NPCS questionnaire was used for data collection. Results. Most unmet needs were identified in the area of rehabilitation, both with respect to frequency (78.8%) as well as intensity (73.5%), family support (52.3%), provision of residential respite care (38.4 %), need of personal care (35.7%), and specialized nursing treatment (33.7%). Targeted intervention reduced the unmet needs in patients included in the interventional study. Conclusions. Understanding the factors which determine the type and degree of unmet needs of patients with PND is essential for providing suitable multidisciplinary care.

Abstract Introduction. Delirium is one of the qualitative disorders of consciousness, characterized by, inter alia, changeable course, inability to focus or disorganized thinking. It can occur among patients from various age groups. The risk factors for delirium include: age over 60 years, polypharmacy, sleep disorders, simultaneous presence of dementia, pain syndromes or dehydration. There are various types of delirium (depending on the level of activity), as well as various forms (including Delirium Tremens, Excited Delirium Syndrome). Aim. The objective of this publication is to systematize knowledge about delirium and providing appropriate tools for assessing the occurrence of delirium in different patients, so as to simplify a quick and efficient detection of the disorder by medical personnel. Conclusions. This publication describes tools that can be used in pre-hospital and in-hospital practice, including departments caring for critically ill patients, requiring, for example, mechanical ventilation (intensive care units, cardiac intensive care units, intensive toxicological supervision units, etc.). In addition, practical aspects have been taken into account, and solutions taken from other publications that can be implemented in daily work with the patient have been proposed – a combination of several tools for quick, easy and reliable detection of delirium in the subject.

Abstract Introduction. Religiousness supports undertaking positive health behaviors. Aim. Showing the correlation between the level of religiosity and selected pro-health and risky behaviors among the elderly people. Material and methods. As research tools the original questionnaire and Scale of Individual Religion by A. Latała and P. Socha were used. The survey involved 120 participants. Analysis included 64 participants, who were all over 65 years old. U Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman’s rank order correlation were used. The level of significance p<0.05 was assumed in the analysis. Results. The studied group of elderly Roman Catholic people was mostly characterized by a high level of religiosity and pro-health behaviors. Correlation between pro-health and risky behaviors of the respondents and their religiosity turned out to be insignificant. However, people characterized by slightly higher level of religiosity declared behaviors such as: not smoking cigarettes, not drinking alcohol, consuming up to three main meals a day, maintain a healthy body weight, not eating between meals, regular doctor and dentist visits, spending little time in front of the TV and computer, being active, using sunscreen, doing self-examination of breasts or testicles once a month and falling asleep at fixed times. Conclusions. The analyses did not confirm that religiosity is an important determinant of pro-health and risky behaviours of the elderly.

Abstract Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of mobbing and its health impacts on nurses in the selected hospital. Method. The pilot study was performed from August to September 2020. The group consisted of 84 nurses (return was 56.0%), working in the acute care department in a selected medical facility. NAQ-R (Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised) and GHQ-28 (General Health Questionnaire-28) tools were used. Results. In total 10.50% of nurses experienced mobbing. Mobbing was targeted at the work-oriented and nurse-related areas. The most common descriptive phenomenon of mobbing is the assignment of tasks below the level of competencies. Nurses describing the occurrence of mobbing in the workplace more often reported feelings of constant tension, nervousness and pressure. Conclusions. The occurrence of mobbing in the workplace can affect the health and cause mental and social problems of nurses.
