Aim. The purpose of the research was to identify the gap in the existing educational content in Slovenia, which employees in the top management of public health institutions acquired during their education, and to propose a new educational program based on the analysis of the results. Material and methods. Quantitative research method and descriptive work method were used. The survey was completed by directors, expert directors and assistant directors for health care in public health institutions in Slovenia. The survey was sent to all employees in the top management of public health institutions in Slovenia (N = 216). For statistic analysis we use chi-square test and Kullback’s 2Î test. Results. A total number of 146 (67.6%) fully completed questionnaires were analyzed. After reviewing the educational programs and the needs for additional education expressed by the respondents, we noted that there is no program in Slovenia that covers all the necessary content for quality work in top management. We can add that employees in the top management of public health institutions should be required to receive special education. Conclusions. Based on the opinions expressed by the respondents, we propose the introduction of a one-year educational program that would include topics from economics, legislation, management, medicine and nursing.

Aim. The aim of the study was to make selected nursing diagnoses for a patient after a microsurgical transplant in the facial area, with the aim of providing the patient with comprehensive care in the perioperative period. Material and methods. The study describes the case of a child after microsurgical transplantation of a flap taken from the left iliac plate to the right submandibular region. The individual case method was used. Clinical interview, observation, measurement and medical documentation data were analyzed. Results. Four selected nursing diagnoses were presented along with planned interventions: risk of complications at the site of microsurgical flap transplantation, risk of donor site infection, discomfort caused by intense oozing of secretions from the postoperative wound in the oral cavity and the boy’s depressed mood caused by low self-esteem resulting from the changed postoperative facial appearance and the failure of the first surgical procedure. Conclusions. Nursing interventions should be adapted to the patient’s dynamically changing recovery process. They should be based on systematic inspection of the recipient and donor sites for the occurrence of complications. Education of the patient and the caregiver is an important element of the therapeutic process. It was not possible to significantly improve the child’s mood.

Abstract Aim. The aim of the study was to identify the most important macro-, meso-, and micro-level factors influencing work engagement and motivation for employment in long-term care (LTC) in Slovenia. Material and methods. A correlational cross-sectional survey design with a self-reported standardized online questionnaire was used among Slovenian workers (N = 452LTC). Results. The results show that LTC workers generally enjoy going to work (68%), feel enthusiasm for their work (61%), and take great pride in their work (90%). Enjoyment increases with age, and is correlated with education and position. Joy is the lowest among those working in nursing homes. However, nursing and care teams show the greatest enthusiasm for and pride in the work done. Those who believe that their work is valued by society and their family enjoy going to work more. Although income is the most important factor in leaving the LTC sector, there are no differences in work engagement regarding the level of monthly income. Over 58% of the variance in work engagement was explained by the influence of sociodemographic characteristics, social recognition, and work environment.. Conclusions. To promote employee engagement, LTC leaders should provide a better work environment and social recognition.

Abstract Aim. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and selected aspects of patients with chronic heart failure. Material and methods. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire was used for an assessment of QoL. Data were obtained on depression, illness perception, social support, self-sufficiency, and severity of heart failure according to NYHA classifi cation. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann-Whitney test, and the Spearman correlation coefficient. Linear regression analysis was also performed. Results. Correlation analysis (p < 0.05) indicated that patients with reduced self-suffi ciency (r = -0.3529) and patients with more severe heart failure (r = 0.2642) reported a poorer QoL. Worse the illness perception (r = 0.4113), more frequent depression (r = 0.5470) and a worse subjective assessment of the state of health (r = 0.4394) indicated a worse QoL. The predictors of the total QoL score were depression (p = 0.000), illness perception (p = 0.001), self-sufficiency (p = 0.008), and subjective assessment of the state of health (p = 0.005). Conclusions. A comprehensive approach with an emphasis on improving QoL is necessary in the care of patients with chronic heart failure.

Abstract Introduction. Newborn screening programs, commonly conducted, are prophylactic procedures with the aim to detect serious, often lethal diseases in their presymptomatic stage. It should be emphasized that the costs of the program are lower than medical care and treatment costs for sick citizens without diagnosis of these disorders. Every step, starting from receiving the parental consent, taking a dried blood spot sample by the nurses and finally testing was fully prepared and is under the supervision of the Institute of Mother and Child in Warsaw. In March 2022 screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) among all newborns was introduced. This disorder leads to progressive deterioration of motor skills and sometimes even to death. The breakthrough of the SMA therapy was Zolgensma, called the most expensive drug in the world. Currently, this treatment is fully funded for some patients under the national drug program. Aim. The aim is to present issues related to the newborn screening program and advanced SMA therapies. Material and methods. Analysis of scientific studies in the PubMed database and national newborn screening programs. Conclusions. Early implementation of the appropriate treatment gives the chance to improve the quality of life, especially if the earliest detection is provided by newborn screening program.
摘要 简介。新生儿筛查计划是一种预防性程序,目的是在无症状阶段发现严重的、往往是致命的疾病。需要强调的是,该计划的费用低于未确诊这些疾病的患病公民的医疗和治疗费用。从征得父母同意开始,到护士提取干血斑样本,再到最后的检测,每一个步骤都经过了充分准备,并接受华沙母婴研究所的监督。2022 年 3 月,开始对所有新生儿进行脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA)筛查。这种疾病会导致运动能力逐渐退化,有时甚至会导致死亡。被称为世界上最昂贵药物的佐根斯玛(Zolgensma)是SMA疗法的突破性进展。目前,国家药物计划为部分患者提供全额资助。目的。旨在介绍与新生儿筛查计划和先进的 SMA 疗法有关的问题。材料和方法。分析 PubMed 数据库中的科学研究和国家新生儿筛查计划。结论。早期实施适当的治疗有机会提高生活质量,尤其是在新生儿筛查计划提供最早检测的情况下。

Abstract Aim. The aim of this multicenter study was to analyze the reporting of the adverse events and health care-associated infections (HAIs) in relation to work environment. Material and methods. This cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted in 14 acute care hospitals throughout the Czech Republic. A total of 105 acute care hospital wards were included in the study. The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index was used to assess the practice environment. The questionnaire to assess the practice environment were completed by 805 nurses. The data on adverse events and HAIs were weekly reported. Results. The overall mean number of adverse events including healthcare-associated infections was 27.7 (±36.10) per 100 patients, the most frequent being pressure ulcers and falls. The most frequent healthcare-associated infections were urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract and surgical site infections. Analysis of all adverse events and HAIs failed to confirm a statistically significant relationship between the nursing practice environment and occurrence of adverse events or healthcare-associated infections. Conclusions. Adverse events and healthcare-associated infections are important indicators of quality of care in hospitalized patients. No type of the nursing practice environment aff ected the reporting of adverse events and HAIs.

Abstract Aim. Montessori activities were implemented in nursing care of older adults in the home environment with the aim of creating meaningful, inclusive, and failure-free daily activities that improve their quality of life. Material and methods. In-depth comparative case studies with exploratory methods were used based on structured interviews and observation of four purposely selected older adults with and without dementia in the home environment. The data was collected using the Montessori methodology, which was divided into five phases. Results. Diff erent types of activities and roles were developed based on the individual’s abilities and interests. The participants felt more independent and self-confident in the performance of planned activities and satisfied that they are busy during the day and engaged in activities that contribute to their better mobility and health. Conclusions. Implemented activities can facilitate the inclusion of older adults in the daily routine of family life, increase the quality of life and the possibility of self-care in the home environment.

Abstract Introduction. The continuous dynamic development of medical applications creates new opportunities in perinatal care that need to be analyzed and continuously updated. Special attention should be paid to how their use affects the condition of pregnant women and their families. Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in the sense of security and social support, and life satisfaction between pregnant women using and not using medical applications. Material and methods. Cross-sectional studies using the CAWI method were conducted in March 2022. The research used an original questionnaire The Satisfaction With Life Scale, The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Security Experience Questionnaire. Results. A total number of 1077 pregnant women participated in the study, 1002 of whom used and 75 did not use medical applications monitoring the course of pregnancy. Most of the surveyed women were aged 26-35, and were in their first pregnancy and in the third trimester. The most frequently cited reasons for using the application were pictures showing the fetus size and monitoring the baby condition, while the reason for not using the application was considering it a waste of time. Conclusions. Women using mobile applications were characterized by higher scores on life satisfaction, sense of security, and social support.

Abstract Introduction. Adaptive self-efficacy develops in each family member influenced by certain factors. Improving family self-efficacy by recognizing the influence factors is health-related behavior that can build stronger families to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined factors that influenced family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19 in the Eastern region of Java Island, Indonesia. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was performed among 347 families. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure sociodemographic data, the risk for COVID-19, personal risk for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and self-efficacy. The logistic regression analysis determined the factors that influenced the family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19. Results. There was a significant correlation between risk for COVID-19, a personal risk factor for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and family self-efficacy (p<0.05). Spirituality (OR = 1.602; 95% CI= 0.450 – 3.019) and family of APGAR (OR=2.534; 95% CI= 18.84 – 23.69) were influenced by family self-efficacy. Conclusions. Spirituality and family of APGAR are influenced by family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19.
