Abstract Introduction. Patients with malignant neoplasms, including cancers of the reproductive organs, struggle with clinical and psychological ailments, resulting in symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and depression. Medical researches concentrate into the relationship between these symptoms and their coexistence. Aim. This article presents available data on the pain and psychological condition of female cancer patients. Method. The research method was a literature review. The Medline database was used, with particular emphasis on publications from 2000-2021. Summary. The article cites studies showing that anxiety and depression co-occur with the perception of pain. However, only a few studies have described the factors aff ecting the perception of pain in patients with gynaecological cancers.

Abstract Aim. Aim of research was to find out influence of using vaginal dilatational balloons in pregnancy on the origin birth injuries, leakage of urine after the childbirth. Apart from that, to investigate connection between using balloons in pregnancy and sexual difficulties after the childbirth. Material and methods. The study contains 394 respondents, which used or did not use Aniball or Epi/no balloon in pregnancy and the time by their childbirth was minimum half of year. Quantitative research has been realized with the help of a non-standardized self constructed questionnaire. The research took place in gynecological clinics and through web browsers. Individual variables have been statistically tested with the help of Chi-square and Fisher’s test. Results. By statistical research have we found out that there exist the connection between using vaginal dilatational balloons in pregnancy and the origin postnatal injury in the sense of their reduction. Women, who used vaginal dilatational balloon, have experienced a lower incidence of incontinence problems. Conclusions. In empirical research we have found positive benefit of using vaginal balloons. Positive impact has been also found in connection with the origin postnatal injury and the development incontinence after the childbirth.

Abstract Introduction. Empowerment is a process that allows patients to perform self-control and self-management of anticoagulant therapy, while allowing them to influence the process and the outcomes of their treatment. Aim. Assessment of the level of empowerment of patients on anticoagulant treatment before and after the education. Material and methods. A quantitative study with structured instrument was used. The number of 46 patients with antiphospholipid syndrome treated in the anticoagulation clinic at the general hospital participated in the study, and 37 patients were subsequently enrolled in the training. Data were collected to determine their level of empowerment. Results and conclusion. We divided the patients into four categories of empowerment. We found that after education, patients had statistically significant higher levels of empowerment. After the education, all 37 patients were classified into the fourth category, indicating high patient participation. Empowered patients make their own decisions about their health, they have a better relationship with health professionals, they follow instructions, take greater responsibility for their health, and reduce the need for hospitalisations and urgent care.

Abstract Introduction. The most frequent source of information on sexual violence are the victims. It should be borne in mind that children rarely disclose sexual abuse directly, and the symptoms depend on how long they have been sexually abused, the relationship with the perpetrator, the kind of sexual activities, and factors related to the child’s development. The obvious consequences of child sexual abuse are body injuries: genitourinary tract infections and injuries to the external genitalia. Notwithstanding, the psychological consequences are more serious than the physical injuries. Aim. The study aimed to present the problem of sexually abused children including diagnostics and therapy of victims of violence. Conclusions. The effects of sexual abuse of a child include, in addition to physical trauma, also the disruption of proper psychosexual development. The task of doctors, nursing staff , educators, and psychologists is to efficiently and confidently identify the crime, enabling the initiation of therapeutic activities and legal proceedings.

Abstract Introduction. Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in practical training of nursing students. Classes previously conducted in a hospital environment were moved to a medical simulation center. Aim. The purpose of the study was to discover opinions of undergraduate nursing students on practical training using the medical simulation method. Material and methods. A total of 317 undergraduate nursing students participated in the survey. The research tool was authors’ own diagnostic survey. Participation in the study was anonymous and voluntary. It was conducted between April and May 2022. All correlations were assumed to be statistically significant when p≤0.05. Results. When it comes to 76.7% of respondents, they claimed that medical simulation classes developed their soft skills and 89.3% of respondents believe that participation in medical simulations facilitated their ability to perform patient care tasks during practical classes. Higher sense of self-efficacy is correlated with higher evaluation of the classes. Conclusions. Through the classes at the medical simulation center, a completely new environment was created to support the practical learning of nursing students. Results of the study highlight positive effects of learning that solidify students’ knowledge and improve their skills.

Abstract Introduction. Meeting the religious needs of hospitalized patients is an essential part of nursing care. Their timely identification by nurses and subsequent satisfaction may lead to an easier adaptation to the hospital environment and illness, and contribute to the overall comfort of the patients. Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the religiosity of selected hospitalized patients in the premorbid and morbid period and the participation of nurses in meeting religious needs. Material and methods. To achieve the goals, we chose a qualitative method – a case study. A Spiritual Screening Tool for Older Adults and a questionnaire by Canda and Furman were used to assess spirituality and religiosity implicitly and explicitly. The respondent sample consisted of three patients hospitalized in inpatient wards of medical facilities with different gender, diagnoses and duration of the disease. Results. According to Spiritual Screening Tool for Older Adults, we found positive spiritual health in patients A, M and R. Religious needs during hospitalization were partially satisfied in patient A and fully satisfied in patients M and R, but only through individual activities (prayer, visiting the hospital chapel and others). None of the patients had their needs met by nurses. Conclusions. We recommend using the tools aimed at assessing patients’ religiosity and continue with the planning and implementation of nursing interventions accordingly. Active cooperattion with “spiritual assistants” and integrating the issue of religious needs into the content of education of future nurses are also recommended.

Abstract Aim. This report illustrates a research on the mediatization of emotions during the first wave of Covid-19 in an interdisciplinary approach. The mechanisms of emotions generation in media messages as well as the content and visual elements of functioning of the pandemic’s subject in culture or religion have been described. Material and methods. The research was carried out on multimodal media publications on the pandemic in global messages. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research (social sciences, humanities, social communication and media sciences), a set of research methods and techniques was used: content analysis, analysis of visual metaphors or workshop analysis of the media message. Results. The mediatization of emotions in various areas of social life was examined on the basis of media analysis of religious, consumer-economic, educational, cultural messages. A catalogue of mechanisms for the mediatization of emotions in media coverage was created. New symbols representing the SarsCov-2 pandemic were shown. Conclusions. The research shows that the mediatization of factors is a process of mediation not only in learning about and creating social reality, but also in controlling attention. During the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, this role was played by emotional media discourses and mechanisms of generating emotions in the media message.

Abstract Introduction. In times of the dehumanisation of medicine, a holistic approach to patients seems indispensable. Moreover, there is an increasing number of scientific papers on the significance of soft competencies and the non-clinical nature of care in the quality and effectiveness of therapeutic processes. The staff often neglects or ignores the elements of spiritual care in everyday practice. It results from the concern not to interfere with the patient’s personal life and from staff shortages, which entails the staff ’s heavy workload on duty. Consequently, a phenomenon known as missing nursing care was diagnosed, involving skipping some activities during everyday nursing practice in order to perform the indispensable, most essential procedures for the patient. Aim. The aim of the study was to present the importance of spiritual care in nursing and to present tools for its measurement. Method. The method is an nonsystematic review of current national and world literature. Summary. Providing spiritual care is primarily aimed at responding to patients’ needs and concerns. Such care is based on effective communication skills, through which a nurse establishes a bond and trust with the patient, and consequently, the patient is more willing to engage in therapeutic processes, so hospitalisation might be reduced significantly.

Abstract Aim. Presentation of selected elements of nursing care of a patient with lower limb length inequality treated with the Ilizarov method. Material and methods. A patient after surgical placement of an external fixator is presented in this work. An individual case study method was used in this work, whereas the research techniques were: interview, nursing observations, measurements, analysis of nursing records. The research tools included e.g. a guide to collecting patient data and numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain assessment. Results. The study presents nursing interventions based on EBN for 4 diagnoses, e.g.: post-operative wound pain associated with skin incision and deep tissue damage; low mood and sadness due to the perspective of long-term treatment and accompanying disability. Effective improvement of the patient’s health is achieved by implementing nursing care based on scientific evidence. Conclusions. Important aspects of the nursing care of a patient with Ilizarov apparatus include the awareness and knowledge of nursing and clinical problems resulting from skin, soft tissue and bone damage caused by the external fixator.
