Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Czech version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire. Design: A cross-sectional study design. STROBE guidelines for reporting observational studies were followed for the study. Methods: The study sample consisted of 332 adult patients from the Czech Republic. The Surgical Fear Questionnaire (SFQ) was used to measure preoperative fear. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated to test reliability. The construct validity of the SFQ was tested using exploratory factor analysis. Results: Reliability of the instrument as a whole was confirmed by the high value of the Cronbach alpha coefficient (0.813). Two factors were identified for the Czech version of the SFQ in factor analysis. Conclusion: The Czech version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire showed good validity and reliability and can be used in research and clinical practice. Further analysis of psychometric properties is needed to confirm

Aim: Evidence on effective communication in antenatal consultations between midwives and pregnant women is lacking. In a study, antenatal consultations implementation outcomes were evaluated. From the data, relevant aspects emerged concerning communication during consultations. This paper presents selected results and proposes a theoretical foundation for antenatal consultations. Design: A qualitative design. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten midwives, eight pregnant women, eight managers, and eight physicians in two hospitals. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed with framework analysis using the following steps: 1) Familiarization; 2) Coding: first, inductive coding (open coding to identify new themes), followed by deductive coding (by theory-predefined codes); 3) Development and application of an analytic framework; 4) Data-charting in a matrix; and 5) Interpretation. Results: Amongst others, the following findings emerged from the data: communication about childbirth is influenced by the perceptions and conceptions of the midwife and the pregnant woman herself; pregnant women’s degree of participation in the consultation process depends to a significant extent on the attitude of the midwife. Conclusion: To assure the success of consultations, we propose a consultation model comprising the following elements: the life world of the woman and midwife, the construction of a social reality, and the mediation of mutual goals, expectations, intentions, wishes, and beliefs.

Aim: This study aims to describe rehabilitation nurses’ perspectives on the complexity of and intention to use an innovative device for post-infarction patients. Design: The research employed a qualitative method, with a video demonstration, and analysis provided by the participants. To guide the study, the Technology Acceptance Model was used in order to measure perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Methods: Focus Groups were used to collect nurses’ perspectives on the developed device. Recruitment followed a snowball sampling method. Eligible participants received an email with an informed consent form. Privacy and confidentiality were maintained throughout. Content analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti v7, with Bardin’s technique, i.e., an a posteriori categorical organization. Results: Three categories were identified as relevant to the study objectives: “Therapeutic adherence and motivation”; “Home and autonomy of the patient and caregiver”; and “Factors that facilitate the practice of the rehabilitation nurse”. Participants felt that the innovation and technological complexity of the device might help to increase patient motivation and adherence, which would be of great use to rehabilitation nurses, allowing better intervention development. Conclusion: Participants perceived the device as useful to practice, and beneficial to post-infarction patients. Interestingly, the complexity inherent to the device is regarded as a factor that may increase motivation and adherence.

Aim: The study compared two instruments for detecting delirium, the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) and the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) as a reference method. Design: Prospective observational study. Methods: The study included 126 consecutive patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours. The diagnostic properties of both questionnaires and agreement between them were studied and compared. Additionally, the two tests were used to assess the relationship between selected patient parameters and the presence of delirium. Results: There was a high level of agreement between the CAM-ICU and ICDSC, as expressed by Cohen’s κ of 0.829 (95% CI: 0.821–0.838). Cronbach’s α assessing the internal consistency of a Czech version of the CAM-ICU and ICDSC was 0.903 and 0.865, respectively. The CAM-ICU had 85.5% sensitivity (95% CI: 84.6–91.8) and 94.1% specificity (95% CI: 92.4–95.5); the ICDSC (cut-off ≥ 4) had 90.6% sensitivity (95% CI: 87.0–93.5) and 89.0% specificity (95% CI: 86.8–91.0). Conclusion: Both compared diagnostic instruments, the CAM-ICU and ICDSC, appear to be adequate and usable. When compared with the CAM-ICU as a reference method, the ICDSC showed similar results and a good level

Aim: To provide an overview of instruments measuring nurse professionalism, and to analyze and critically evaluate the psychometric properties of these instruments. Design: A narrative literature review. Methods: A search was made for studies focusing on instruments measuring nurse professionalism using relevant terms. The literature search was conducted between September and December 2020 in two scientific databases: Scopus, and ProQuest. A total of eleven studies featuring instruments to measure nurse professionalism were included in the analysis. A content analysis approach was adopted. Results: We identified eleven self-report instruments measuring nurse professionalism, seven of which were designed to measure nurse professionalism in general, and four which measured more specific concepts, such as nursing values or nurse-nurse collaboration. The instruments demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. Conclusion: There is a lack of research focusing on nurse professionalism in a European context, and in Slovakia in particular. With increasing demands on nursing care, it is necessary to examine this phenomenon within nursing practice. We, therefore, recommend that research be conducted using instruments to measure nurse professionalism in Europe and in Slovakia.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nurses’ sleep quality and body mass index. Design: This is a cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted with 583 nurses working in a single hospital. It was conducted between July 2018 and June 2019. Results: Among the nurses participating in the study, 69.1% of nurses were found to have poor sleep quality. Body mass index was within normal range in 55.4% of nurses. Nurses working in intensive care unit / operation room / emergency units, nurses working for less than 10 years, nurses working on nights shifts have more normal body weights. There were statistically significant differences between body mass index ratios and sleep quality scores. Conclusion: Sleep quality was found to be negatively affected as working hours increased. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between sleep quality and BMI. Sleep quality increased as BMI increased.

Aim: The study aimed to determine childbirth experience and the overall satisfaction of women with childbirth and its related socio-demographic and obstetric factors. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: We used the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) on a sample of 161 primiparous women. Results: Total mean CEQ score was 49.78 (SD = 6.02). The best-rated domain was the Perceived safety domain at 2.66 (± 1.90). The worst-rated domain was the Professional support domain at 1.66 (± 1.30). Regarding childbirth satisfaction, the mode of delivery proved to be a related factor, with the highest level of childbirth satisfaction in women after surgical delivery. Conclusion: Providing quality care and creating a positive experience that can contribute to overall birth satisfaction should be a common target of healthcare professionals in caring for parturient women. In order to create a positive childbirth experience, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the management of labor pain relief, to improving the professional support provided by midwives (i.e., through a more sensitive approach to mothers), to promoting the active participation of the mother during childbirth, and to supporting spontaneous

Aim: The study aimed to determine how Czech nurses perceive individual aspects of their work environment, and examined the differences in perceptions of their work environment related to type of hospital, hospital departments, and individual demographic characteristics. The study included analysis of the relationships between nurses’ work environment and: intention to leave, satisfaction with current work position, the role of nurse, and work intensity. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Methods: The sample involved 371 nurses working in the internal medicine and surgical departments of four hospitals in the Olomouc region. The Czech version of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the Pearson chi-squared test, the MannWhitney test, and Spearman’s correlations. Results: Nurses from university hospitals evaluated their work environment significantly more highly than nurses in regional non-university hospitals. No significant difference between internal medicine and surgical hospital wards was confirmed. Weak to moderate positive correlations were revealed between nurses’ work environment and: satisfaction with the role of nurse, satisfaction with current work position, and satisfaction with team collaboration. Nurses who considered leaving their current job or work position evaluated their work environment significantly more negatively than nurses who did not intend to leave their job. Conclusion: The attributes of nurses’ work environment are related to nurses’ satisfaction at work and their intention of staying in their workplace. Variables of hospitals greatly improved overall assessment of the work environment.

Design: A correlational research design was chosen for the study. Methods: The study was implemented with 206 nursing students at a state university in northeast Turkey. Data were collected using the Scale of Exposure to Colleague Violence and the Nursing Education Stress Scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Spearman correlation test. Results: The nursing students’ mean age was 21.59 (± 1.88) (min. = 20; max. = 40); 75.2% were female; 77.7% were from a nuclear family; and 77.2% stated that their income was equal to their expenses. The colleague violence score of the students was 63.29 (± 17.29) and the nursing education stress score was 53.67 (± 19.42). A positive and moderate relationship was found between the total colleague violence score and total nursing education stress score (p < 0.01). A positive and moderate relationship was also determined between exposure to verbal / psychological violence and nursing education stress (p < 0.01). Moreover, a positive and moderate relationship was observed between the effect of violence on physical and mental health and nursing education stress (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Results indicated that nursing students who were exposed to colleague violence during clinical practice experienced practical and academic stress. Nurses should be aware that colleague violence is an ethical problem concerning respect for human dignity.
