Abstract Aim. The study assessed the pain and functioning of patients after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms surgery. Material and methods. The study involved 35 patients after the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. The study used the method of a diagnostic survey, and the research tool was a proprietary questionnaire, using a numerical and descriptive pain scale and the Laitinen Scale. The results were analyzed in the program SPSS Statistics 21.0. Results. When it comes to 54.3% of the respondents, they experienced the strongest pain on the first day after the procedure, 45.7% experienced the pain periodically and it was felt the most in the evening (48%). More than half of the respondents indicated that the experienced pain completely affected the movement/walking and it was the strongest then, and it was the same while getting up. Pain intensity and the presence of functional limitations did not have a statistically significant correlation with the analyzed socio-medical variables (p>0.05). Conclusions. Patients experienced the pain after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery and it limited their functioning, therefore they needed help in performing basic life activities.

Abstract Human sexual life takes place at the biological, mental and social levels. Sexually transmitted diseases are an important issue associated particularly with the biological sphere, and have been on the rise in recent years. The wide spectrum of symptoms and consequences depends on aetiology and advancement, accompanying symptoms and/or their absence, as well as local, generalised and multiorgan lesions. They can also be present in the oral cavity. The prevention and treatment of these diseases is a special sphere of healthcare. In the context of sexual health, healthcare can be understood as integration of the biological, emotional, intellectual and social aspects of sexual life, being also important for the positive development of personality, communication and love.

Abstract Introduction. An important factor in the implementation of innovations such as integrative clinical care pathways (ICPs) is supportive communication from department and hospital management. ICPs have been introduced into the clinical environment as a tool to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of health services. Aim. The study aimed to assess communication of nurses working in three ICPs and department heads and hospital managers in a typical Slovenian hospital and to identify the main reasons for this communication using a mixed methods approach. Material and methods. The cross-sectional study used a mixed descriptive quantitative method with a survey and a qualitative method with a focus group interviews of nurses working in ICPs for chronic kidney disease, stroke and total hip arthroplasty in a typical Slovenian hospital. Result and conclusion. The results showed that communication plays an important role in the implementation of ICPs and that nurses communicate worse with hospital managers than with department heads, regardless of age, gender, education and ICPs. The main reasons for poor communication in the implementation of ICPs are communication-related (weak exchange of information, lack of appropriate communication channels, one-sided and authoritative communication on the part of hospital managers) and organisational (lack of staff, disorganisation of nursing staff).

Abstract Introduction. Social skills are a very important element in the work of a nurse. These skills support patient-centered care and improve the quality of care, and for nurses, they are a protective factor against burnout syndrome, also they improve team work. Therefore, it is so important to search for their determinants. The objective of the article was to evaluate the relation between empathy and type D personality with the level of social competences of primary healthcare nurses. Material and methods. The research was conducted among primary healthcare nurses from the Lubelskie Voivodeship, using the following tools: The Social Competences Profile (PROKOS); Type D Personality Scale (DS-14), Empathic Understanding of Other People Questionnaire (KRE) and the sociodemographic data questionnaire. Results. We analyzed the responses of 446 nurses. In the study group 65% of the nurses had an average level of social competences. The research also evaluated the level of empathy demonstrated by primary healthcare nurses. The mean score for the level of empathy was M=64.63 points (SD=10.16). When it comes to 39% of the researched group of nurses (n=172), they demonstrated type D personality. The correlation analysis proved that the level of empathy among primary healthcare nurses significantly (p<0.001) supported their social competences. Furthermore the negative affectivity and social inhibition correlated significantly negatively (p<0.001) with social skills of nurses. Conclusions. Our research enabled us to discover the relations between empathy and type D personality with the level of social competences of primary healthcare nurses. Research further indicated insufficient level of social skills of nurses and the need to investigate factors, which could support their shaping. Further, in-depth research is required in this field, including quantitative analysis.

Abstract Introduction. Bone sarcomas, as rare tumour types, constitute only about 1% of malignant tumours. The treatment process is an additional burden on the human body, especially at a young age. The surgery has a long-term effect on the patient’s mobility and requires great effort and motivation to regain physical fitness. The discomfort resulting from having a persistent thymus gland makes it significantly more difficult for patients to return to their precancerous state. Aim. The aim of this study is to diagnose the patient’s health problems resulting from the presence of persistent thymus gland and a history of oncological treatment for osteosarcoma, together with the presentation of measures to improve functioning in daily life. Material and methods. The research method of the individual case study and the research techniques used were: interview, observation, measurement and analysis of medical records. Additionally, 9 scales were used, which allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s health status. Results and summary. The following health problems were identified: dyspnoea, cough, muscle weakness, pain in the spine and left lower limb, dizziness and fatigue. Close cooperation of the interdisciplinary team, the patient and her relatives and a holistic approach is the key to developing an effective care plan together with tailoring such therapeutic and caring activities that increase the patient’s comfort of life.

Abstract Aim. The study aimed to identify the presence of posttraumatic growth in children and adolescents with the diabetes mellitus type I and to find out relations with coping strategies. Material and methods. The research group was formed by 102 children aged 12-18 years with diabetes mellitus type I. The research design was a cross-sectional study. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children (PTGI-C) and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) were used for data collection. Results. The ways of coping with stress are related to the subsequent posttraumatic growth in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The strongest correlation was found between posttraumatic growth and coping strategies Seeking Social Support and Planful Problem-Solving. The correlation between posttraumatic growth and coping strategy Escape-Avoidance has not been identified. However, this strategy was most often used by adolescents. There was no difference in the level of posttraumatic growth with respect to sex of the respondents and their age, except for the area of Personal Strength and area of Spiritual Change. Conclusions. The facilitation of effective coping strategies by a nurse can have a positive effect on the posttraumatic growth of children and adolescents with diabetes.
