Aim: This scoping review aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the relationship between the nursing work environment and unfinished nursing care, and to offer a deeper insight into organizational factors of unfinished nursing care in hospital settings. A further aim of the study was to collate evidence about instruments for measurement of nurses’ perceptions of the nursing work environment. Design: A scoping review was performed. Methods: A search was conducted in eight scientific databases. The final review included 22 studies and publications ranging from 2010 to 2020. Guidelines regarding scoping review methodology developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute were followed in our study. Results: The majority of studies included representative hospital and nurse samples, and had a cross-sectional design. Evidence indicates that the nursing work environment is a significant predictor of unfinished nursing care. The more favorable the nursing work environment, as perceived by nurses, the less frequently they reported unfinished nursing care events. The domains of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index were found to be significant predictors of unfinished nursing care. Conclusion: Nurses working in favorable conditions reported lower prevalence of unfinished nursing care. Improvements in staffing and resource adequacy were found to be the most significant factors predicting lower rates of unfinished nursing care. Refinement of factors in the nursing work environment and staffing are interventions that can mitigate unfinished nursing care. Further research should focus on the relationship between different dimensions of the nursing work environment and unfinished nursing care in hospital settings.

Aim: The goal of this study was to establish the level of awareness amongst pregnant women in terms of preparation for an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), compare the results of two waves of data collection, and identify the most frequent preanalytical mistakes made in connection to the oGTT. Design: Comparison of 2 cross-sectional studies. Methods: From 2013–2017 two independent questionnaire studies were performed on a total of 477 pregnant women in the Olomouc and Zlín regions. A total of 225 respondents took part in Study 1 (2013–2014), and a total of 252 in Study 2 (2016–2017). Acquired data was analysed using descriptive statistics focused on the substantive significance of the results, as well as inference statistics. Results: Based on the sum index, the overall level of awareness had increased slightly amongst the women in Study 2 (by 0.41 points out of 5), Cohen’s d = 0.3 suggests the effect was only mediocre. Fifteen erroneous processes were found. However, these had a decreasing trend once the guidelines had been unified. Conclusion: A more reliable performance of the oGTT in certified laboratories was declared by the respondents in Study 2. The level of awareness, and checking on their adherence to the regime before and during the course of measuring the oGTT in pregnant women was still inadequate. It is necessary to improve pregnant women’s awareness of how to perform the oGTT correctly to ensure the least possible distortion of the results.

Aim: To validate the Czech version of the Delirium Observation Scale and the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale as screening instruments for detecting of delirium in a traumatology department. Design: A prospective cohort study. Methods: The study included 400 patients hospitalized in the traumatology department, University Hospital, Olomouc. The receiver operating characteristics analysis, sensitivity and specificity values and positive and negative predictive values for the screening delirium symptoms were calculated. Results: The average duration of delirium was 2.78 days. The Delirium Observation Scale (DOS) screening instrument produced the best predictive validity values (sensitivity 97.6%, specificity 96.2%), followed by the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) (sensitivity 92.7%, specificity 96.5%). Both screening instruments have comparable psychometric properties as well as features in the area of the already mentioned feasibility. The largest differences between the psychometric features of the screening instruments were detected in the Nu-DESC instrument in the area of sensitivity. Conclusion: The benefit of the research lies in obtaining the predictive validity values for the DOS and Nu-DESC screening instruments in patients with locomotive apparatus trauma, having had surgical or conservative treatment. Our results may support a systematic and evidence-based implementation of the screening instruments for detecting of delirium in a clinical setting.

Aim: This methodological study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire, which evaluates the clinical competence of nurses regarding eye care in intensive care patients. Design: A methodological study. Methods: The study included 175 nurses working in the ICUs of the hospitals where the study was conducted. Results: Following factor analysis, based on the tetrachoric correlation matrix for the information sub-dimension, eight items were excluded from the questionnaire. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted for the questionnaire, the error variance value of item 26 was removed from the questionnaire. The final questionnaire adapted for the Turkish cultural context consisted of 26 items. Cronbach’s alpha value for the attitude sub-dimension was 0.87; the Cronbach alpha value for the application sub-dimension was 0.85, and the Cronbach alpha value for the questionnaire as a whole was 0.84. Conclusion: It was found that the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire was a valid and reliable measurement tool. This measurement tool can be used in studies to evaluate the clinical competence of intensive care nurses regarding eye care.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to determine the effectiveness of discharge training on self-efficacy and post-discharge problems after cardiac surgery. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery (n = 66) were randomly assigned to either control or discharge training groups. Patients received training from the first day they were hospitalized until the day they were discharged. The self-efficacy scores and post-discharge problems were assessed prior to the surgery, at 10 days and 30 days post-discharge. Results: Concerning self-efficacy scores, no statistically significant difference was noted between the two groups (group: F = 1.856; p = 0.178). A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of kinetophobia, fatigue, and edema in the legs at 10 days and 30 days of post-discharge (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These study findings have shown that both groups experience at least one post-discharge problem and these problems gradually decrease at 4 weeks of post-discharge. It is recommended to set up units in hospitals that can systematically give discharge training and home care services to patients and their families.

Aim: The quantitative study aimed to assess nutritional status of elderly patients with coronary heart disease using two standardized tools. Design: A quantitative study. Methods: Data were obtained with the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST). In addition, sociodemographic data were collected and the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living was used to assess patients’ functional independence. The sample comprised 103 patients staying on a cardiovascular ward between April and September 2018. Results: Based on assessment with MNA and MUST, malnutrition or the risk of malnutrition was revealed in approximately 37% and 26% of participants, respectively. Comparison of the two tools revealed significant statistical asymmetry between the results (p = 0.028). Full agreement was observed in 75.7% of participants, with a kappa coefficient of 0.44; this may be interpreted as “average” statistically significant agreement (p < 0.001). The study revealed statistically significant relationships between functional independence and nutritional status assessed with both the MNA (p < 0.001) and MUST (p = 0.001). There was also a statistically significant relationship between age and nutritional status assessed with both tools (p = 0.038). Conclusion: Over a third of elderly patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease staying on a cardiovascular ward suffered from malnutrition. Therefore, more attention should be paid to nutritional status of cardiac patients.

Aim: To identify the incidence of workplace violence against nurses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, its sources, ways of dealing with violence against nurses, the intensity of nurse’s psychological problems as a result of their experience of workplace violence. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country Case Study – Questionnaire was used. The sample consisted of 526 nurses from selected healthcare settings in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Data was collected from June to November 2016. Results: Verbal as well physical violence against nurses is a frequent phenomenon in nurses’ workplace in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We identified statistically significant difference in verbal aggression from patients and higher intensity of nurse’s psychological problems as a result of patients’ aggression. In both countries, we have found an incomplete problem solution by the management of healthcare facilities. Conclusion: Verbal as well physical violence against nurses is a frequent phenomenon in the workplace of Czech and Slovak nurses. The management of healthcare facilities must establish appropriate procedures to reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon.

Aim: To analyse the occurrence of sexual dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis. Design: A quantitative cross-sectional study. Methods: The study was conducted in cooperation with the Croatian Association of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis, in the form of a questionnaire. A total of 106 patients responded: 24 (23%) male and 82 (77%) female. All subjects were in the age group 21–63 years. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, ANOVA test, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results: Primary sexual dysfunction (lack of sexual interest and desire), Secondary sexual dysfunction (the occurrence of bladder or urinary symptoms), and Tertiary dysfunction (caused by emotional aspects of MS) were present in most patients. There were no statistically significant differences between subjects within individual categories. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is very common among patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, significantly impairing quality of life since sexual and intimate expression are basic human needs which persist in spite of disability or illness. However, patients are reluctant to talk about this highly sensitive issue.
