Aim: This descriptive qualitative study provides information on research dealing with women’s opinions, experiences, and attitudes toward menopause. Design: A descriptive qualitative study. Methods: Individual semi-structured in-depth interviews were used for qualitative research into this topic. The research group consisted of 17 women aged 40 to 55 years. Thematic data analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. Results: Based on the thematic analysis, the following categories were created: 1) Association with the period of menopause; 2) Experiencing menopause; and 3) Education. The results showed that women viewed menopause as a transitional phase of life. The main symptoms included hot flashes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, mood swings, and weight gain. Prior to the study, participants were not interested in additional information on the issue. Conclusion: As estrogen levels decline later in life, women transition from the reproductive to the post-reproductive phase of their lives. For women to experience healthy menopause, they must understand the process before they begin to experience the consequences of estrogen deficiency.

Aim: The aim of the research was to determine the fulfilment of the standard operating procedure – “Care of patients with increased risk levelˮ incorporating the JCI AOP 1.7 standard “Patients and their loved ones are investigated and reinvestigated due to their individualized needsˮ by healthcare professionals of the selected healthcare facility. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: A quantitative survey was selected for data collection. The data were obtained through structured interviews with selected healthcare professionals from the designated facilities conducted by hospital management and recorded in writing in a pre-prepared record sheet. The research sample consisted of 78 respondents, of whom 36 were physicians and 42 were nurses, from 14 facilities. The research was conducted from 15. 1. – 31. 12. 2018. Results: From the interviews, we found that respondents regarded terminal patients and their loved ones holistically, but failed to record the information obtained. We also found that there was no difference in the evaluation of the patient and his / her loved ones according to the profession of the respondents, the length of their medical practice, or their workplace. In terms of the respondentsʼ workplace, there was no difference in perceptions of the quality of palliative care provided in the selected hospital. Conclusion: Respondents perceive patients holistically and they are assessed as a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual unit, and their loved ones are included in the assessment. However, the information obtained is not fully documented in written form.

For some time, research career development and academic and other support systems have been identified as being in need of systematic development (European Commission, 2011). Predictability and transparency of a research career are of utmost importance for individual researchers but are even more important for academic and disciplinary regeneration and, therefore, need the development of structures and policies to enable the sustainable development of disciplines and organisations. While research careers have existed since the beginning of nursing science as a discipline, the number of early career researchers has increased rapidly and several careers other than academic research have appeared. However, such careers are not clear enough for individuals to become recognised as independent researchers (McKenna, 2021).

Aim: To describe nurses’ perspectives on promoting tracheostomy self-care. There is little information on the nurses’ perspective as care providers with knowledge of clinical contexts. Design: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Methods: A purposeful sample of nurses was selected from eight Portuguese hospitals. Recruitment ended once data saturation was reached (n = 12). Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analysed through content analysis. Results: The nurses described the most important aspects to promote tracheostomy self-care, namely the objectives, the contents to be addressed, the methods and resources to be used, the appropriate moment to intervene, the necessary conditions to promote self-care, the way to ensure the standardisation of interventions among nurses, and the level of tailored planned interventions. Conclusion: From the nurses’ perspective, promoting tracheostomy self-care is critical for regaining autonomy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an intervention plan sensitive to individual needs and preferences. These results can help elucidate the aspects considered by nurses when promoting tracheostomy self-care so that more meaningful and feasible care models can be designed.

Aim: To identify instruments measuring patient safety culture from the perspective of nursing students and to assess the content and reported psychometric properties of these instruments. Design: A narrative literature review. Methods: The search was carried out (according to institutional availability) in three scientific databases: ProQuest, PubMed, and Scopus. The search produced a total of 645 studies published up to May 2021. For data analysis, a summative content method was used. Results: We identified 12 instruments for measuring patient safety culture from the perspective of nursing students. Four instruments were designed to assess the perception of patient safety culture in the workplace, and eight instruments were designed for assessing nursing students’ competencies in patient safety culture. Conclusion: The instruments share a core set of domains. However, details on conceptualisation, and methodological rigor differed substantially. Moreover, data on psychometric properties have not been published for most instruments. The absence of well-established instruments calls for further research.

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the association between quality of life and wound severity in patients with recurrent diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The total sample comprised 86 DFU patients. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale – Short Form scale was used to collect quality of life data, and Wagner grading was used to assess wound severity. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The results showed that quality of life (QOL) in all domains was low. There were no significant differences between demographic and wound characteristics and QOL of patients. Significant differences were found between diabetes mellitus (DM) duration and Leisure / enjoying life (p = 0.020); Trigger and Worried about ulcers (p = 0.002); Trigger and Dependence / daily life (p = 0.006); Trigger and Negative emotions (p = 0.006); and Trigger and Bothered by ulcer care (p = 0.000). However, there were no significant differences between demographic and wound characteristics and physical health. Conclusion: The study showed that QOL of patients with recurrent diabetic ulcers was low. There was no correlation between quality of life or wound severity and recurrent DFUs. However, there was a correlation between DM duration and Leisure / enjoying life; Trigger and Worried about the ulcer; Trigger and Dependency / daily life; Trigger and Negative emotions; and Trigger and Bothered by ulcer care.

Aim: This study explores nurses’ experiences of caring for (potentially) brain-dead patients. Design: A qualitative interpretative phenomenological design was chosen to describe the phenomenon in all its complexity and dimensions. Methods: In 2016, twelve episodic interviews were conducted with intensive care nurses from six wards. The interviews related to their experiences of caring for (potentially) brain-dead patients and were analyzed according to Benner’s Interpretative Phenomenology. Results: Three key phenomena were generated: 1) The brain is dead; the body is alive; 2) Coping within high performance medicine and 3) Power(-lessness). The participants’ experience was that caring for a (potentially) brain-dead patient and explaining brain death to the patient’s relatives is very demanding. In the intensive care unit, nurses are required to diligently provide exemplary methodical and routine care, most of the time without an outlet to relieve their own work-related burdens. In some situations, the interviewees felt powerless. Conclusion: The data collected have provided a deeper insight into the situation intensive care nurses face when caring for (potentially) brain-dead patients. Nevertheless, the authors recommend further research on all phenomena, and also the design of appropriate training and support for nurses.
