Social cohesion and an age-friendly environment determine the life satisfaction of elderly people in rural areas: an integrative review of the literature
Authors: Nedeljko Mihael , Perović Barbara Toplak , Kaučič Boris Miha
Published: November 2023

Introduction. As the global population is ageing and life expectancy is gradually increasing, we wanted to use a literature review to study what determines the life satisfaction of older people in rural areas. In doing so, we focused on age-friendly communities that enable older people to live as actively and independently as possible and allow quality ageing.

Methods. The integrative literature review method in accordance with PRISMA guidelines was used. The selection of articles in English was made according to the following inclusion criteria: scientificity, content relevance and topicality. The literature search covered the bibliographic-catalogue databases Web of Science and PubMed, from 2010 to 2020. After selection, a qualitative content analysis was applied to the data.

Results. From the initial twenty-one articles, we gained an insight into the life satisfaction of the elderly in rural areas through a substantive analysis of nine scientific articles. Two content categories were identified: social cohesion of the elderly and age-friendly environment.

Discussion and conclusion. Social cohesion and an age-friendly environment are important for ensuring the life satisfaction of elderly people in rural areas. Based on a review of the literature, we found out that literature focusing on ageing in urban areas predominates. In the future, it will be necessary to study the factors that affect the life satisfaction in geographical locations that are similar in size and cultural and social characteristics.

Published: November 2023

Aim. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between self-reported competences and the educational level of nurses in Slovakia.

Materials and methods. The 73-item NCS was translated into the Slovak language according to Brislin’s translation model, then electronic version of the tool was emailed to eligible nurses in the Slovak Republic registered with the Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives (SkSaPA). Data were analysed in IBM SPSS version 22 using descriptive statistics, Student t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Mann-Whitney U test.

Results. A total of 135 nurses, who work in the Slovak healthcare system, returned the surveys. Nurses with master’s degree reported greater confidence in “ensuring quality” and higher competence on the “managing situations” subscales than nurses without a master’s degree. This study found no other significant relationships between nursing educational levels and self-reported competence.

Conclusions. Master’s level education influences nursing competence in managing clinical situations and ensuring the quality of nursing care provided in Slovakia.
Nurse’s role in pharmacological pre-exposure prophylaxis of HIV infection
Authors: Bartkowiak Grzegorz , Kryczka Tomasz
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Reducing the number of new HIV infections is one of the challenges of modern health care. Advances in medicine have given rise to new methods of preventing the transmission of the infection. Pharmacological pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is one of them.

Aim. The aim of this paper is to discuss the principles of PrEP and to bring the role of a nurse closer in this regard.

Method. The safety and efficacy of PrEP have been demonstrated in clinical trials. At the same time, in accordance with the postulates of the WHO to transfer competencies related to the prevention of the spread of HIV to other health care professionals, models of PrEP provision by e.g. nurses, are being discussed.

Results. Pharmacological PrEP used in vulnerable groups at risk of HIV infection may help slow down the epidemic. Nurses have almost all the knowledge and clinical competence to provide PrEP services. Expanding the competence of nurses by including HIV diagnosis, prescription of medications approved for use as PrEP, and increasing the scope of decision-making in this type of prophylaxis will contribute to its popularisation in Poland, as well as increase the prestige of the profession and the possibilities of developing of advanced nursing practice.

Published: November 2023

Aim. To assess lifestyles of women and men having difficulty conceiving a baby.

Material and methods. The study was carried out among 517 respondents (350 women and 167 men) suffering from infertility. The online diagnostic survey method was applied. The authors’ own questionnaire was used along with the standardised FANTASTIC Life Questionnaire.

Results. More than a half of the women researched (60.3%) had appropriate BMI and every second man (49.1%) suffered from obesity. Most of the respondents paid attention to the quality of food they had. Every third woman (30.3%) did exercise 3-4 times a week while most men (37.7%) once a week. The mean score of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle Questionnaire was 35.73 ± 6.94 points which means the group studied was characterised by a very good lifestyle.

Conclusions. The lifestyles of the resopndents was good or very good and only their physical activity, type of behaviour/personality traits or perception of themselves needed further improvement. Education of individuals who fail to conceive a baby is of great importance along with education of the entire society on the influence of lifestyle on reproductive health and the implementation of preventive measures to promote favourable health behaviours.

Authors: Gotlib Joanna , Cieślak Ilona , Jaworski Mariusz , Witkowska-Zimny Małgorzata , Małkowski Piotr , Panczyk Mariusz
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The outbreak of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic resulted in a paralysis of healthcare systems. The most important problem was the provision of an appropriate number of healthcare personnel. One of the ways was to enable final-year students of medical sciences to start professional work.

Aim. To analyse the available literature dealing with student study-to-work transition during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic outbreak.

Method. The resources of five databases: PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, CINAHL Complete via EBSCOhost were researched. The inclusion criteria: 1) English language, 2) papers published in peer-reviewed journals, 3) type of publication, 4) papers published between 01.01.2020 and 31.12.2020. We have found 2,341 articles. The 17 papers were included in the final analysis.

Results. The analysis pointed to soft competences as one of the most important group of competences enabling efficient study-to-work transition (n=13). Students pointed to the ethical problems encountered at the start of work in the pandemic (n=8). Two important factors should be highlighted as crucial for the future formation of the professional identity of a group of students starting their professional career in the pandemic: the impact of the disturbed process of professional adaptation and the need to implement changes to the processes of education of students of medical sciences.

Authors: Kozáková Radka , Bužgová Radka
Published: November 2023

Aim. The purpose was to determine the quality of life of Parkinson’s disease patients and their family members and to identify the factors that affect it.

Material and methods. The research sample included 183 patients with Parkinson’s disease and 78 family members. Quality of life was assessed using the Czech Quality of Life Questionnaire of Patients with Progressive Neurological Disease.

Results. Patients with a longer duration of the disease had a lower overall quality of life. The connection between higher dependence of patients on daily activities, and higher degree of motor disability was associated with a poorer quality of life in patients. In family members, an association was demonstrated between older age and a lower quality of life in the domain of normal daily activity, social and spiritual area. With older age, the higher burden of symptoms also increased and deteriorated overall quality of life. The connection between higher dependence of patients on daily activities and a worse quality of life of caregivers in the three domain was confirmed.

Conclusions. Regular assessment of the impact of Parkinson’s disease on the quality of life of patients and their family and the identification of factors that affect it can help prioritize the treatment planning phase.

Authors: Tomaszewska Katarzyna , Majchrowicz Bożena , Serwin Andrzej
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Improving the quality of provided services and increasing patient satisfaction in medical facilities is an undoubted challenge for health care institutions in Poland. A high level of nursing care increases the efficiency of the treatment process, reduces the costs of health care units and affects the patient’s sense of satisfaction and contentment.

Aim. The aim of this paper was to assess the level of satisfaction with nursing care using the Newcastle scale.

Material and methods. The study included 117 patients hospitalized in the cardiac rehabilitation unit. The research tool used in the study was the standardized Newcastle questionnaire to assess patients’ overall satisfaction and experiences with nursing care at the unit level.

Results. The respondents’ experience of nursing care was rated at a medium level, while their level of satisfaction with nursing care was rated at a high level. The above rating was influenced by the age and educational level of the patients.

Conclusions. Patients of cardiac rehabilitation units rate the experience of nursing care well, while their level of satisfaction with this care is high.
Care for pregnant and postpartum woman with cerebral palsy
Authors: Pilarska Natalia Magdalena , Szablewska Anna Weronika
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Disabled women are often overlooked when it comes to procreation plans and encounter social misunderstanding and lack of support. In addition, their sexual needs are often marginalized. It means that education and professional care of midwives and doctors are necessary to put flesh on problem.

Aim. The aim of the work is to present knowledge and familiarize with the subject of perinatal care for a woman with a disability based on an individual case study.

Method. For the purposes of this study, the qualitative research method “study case” was used, containing a description of the patient’s obstetric and clinical condition, aimed at its in-depth analysis and assessment. The patient’s informed consent to participate in the study was obtained. C-Hobic care outcome indicators were also used to describe the case. ICNP® reference terminology was used to develop care plans.

Summary. Taking care of a patient with cerebral palsy, the midwife undertakes numerous interventions in the field of education of both the woman and the whole family. The overriding goal is to increase the woman’s independence, increase her confidence that she will be able to take care of a newborn and improve her competence in self-care. Due to the constant progress in maternal-fetal medicine, further research is needed on preconception and perinatal care for patients with CP.

Authors: Latos Maciej , Sadownik Bartosz , Sak-Dankosky Natalia , Stach Orest , Becler Robert , Barabasz Aleksandra , Małyszko Maciej , Zawadka Mateusz , Andruszkiewicz Paweł , Kosson Dariusz
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Midline catheters (MCs) are an option for vascular access alongside the commonly used short peripheral intravenous catheters, centrally and peripherally inserted central catheters.

Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the solution implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in a centre where MC access had not been used before.

Material and method. It was an observational retrospective evaluation of the 98 medical registries of adult patients.

Results. The mean time from hospital admission to midline catheter insertion was 15 days. The most common indications for the catheter implementation were: difficult intravenous access (83%) and expected time hospital stay >6 days (17%). The mean dwell time of the catheters was 9 days. The most common reasons for removal were: the end of intravenous therapy (44%) and catheter blockages (36%).

Conclusions. A high level of prematurely removed catheters was observed, despite the existence of a hospital protocol. The high percentage of MCs removed before the end of intravenous therapy may be indicative of the poor quality of care and the need for continuous education of medical staff. The results obtained should be confi rmed in a prospective study planned on their basis in order to identify interventions which are necessary to improve the quality of vascular access care.
Religious needs of hospitalized patients
Authors: Kristová Jarmila , Bachratá Zuzana
Published: November 2023

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.

Authors: Bukovšek Andreja Hrovat , Filej Bojana
Published: November 2023

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.

Published: November 2023

Aim. The aim of the study was to determine whether the National Chamber of Nurses and Midwives (NIPiP), as well as the District Chambers of Nurses and Midwives (OIPiP), undertake activities to inform Ukrainian war refugees - nurses (UKR-Ns) about the simplified work permit procedure.

Material and methods. We analysed work permit related information for UKR-Ns available on the NIPIP and OIPIP websites. The research was conducted in two stages: 1) content analysis of information for UKR-Ns posted on the official NIPiP website 2) quantitative and qualitative analysis of information for UKR-Ns on official OIPIP websites.

Results. The analysis of information on work permits demonstrated that its content and the way in which this information was communicated varied greatly over time. Seven OIPIs did not publish any information on the procedure of obtaining work permits by UKR-Ns and for three OIPIPs, access to information was modified and/or removed from the website at the time of the observation undertaken. The vast majority of OIPIPs provided information that could only be considered as partly relevant.

Conclusions. The information for UKR-Ns, regarding the process of obtaining work permits, published by the NIPiP and OIPiPs on their official websites requires modification, both in terms of content and form.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Nursing, midwifery ethics education has been changing over the years. The necessity to reduce the knowledge-practice gap has been highlighted, consequently, modern training methods - based on experience - have been introduced.

Aim. To present the importance of empirical teaching methods in the formation of ethical competence of nursing and midwifery students and and the objectives of the project implemented under the ERASMUS + program, KA220-HED entitled “Strengthening the ethical competence of future nurses and midwives: An inter-professional action-learning project on experiential training methods (ETHCOM)”.

Material and methods. A non-systematic literature review was performed using databases (PubMed, CINAHL Complete). The analysis included 38 articles published between 2010 and 2023 in Polish and English.

Results. In traditional methods of ethical education, the teacher plays the main role, while in those based on experience – the student. Among the experiential methods of learning ethics by nursing and midwifery students that are eff ective in acquiring and development of ethical competence can be distinguished, e.g. learning through games, storytelling, simulation etc. The selection of an educational method in the process of training ethical competence among nursing and midwifery students is important so that future students are able to face contemporary ethical problems.

Authors: Bosacka Małgorzata Grażyna , Bączyk Grażyna
Published: November 2023

Aim. Early neurological rehabilitation is essential to regain functional efficiency and achieve an optimal level of independence, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of the work was to assess the functional performance of patients of working age after hemorrhagic or ischemic brain stroke admitted to the neurological rehabilitation unit and to assess additional factors aff ecting the eff ectiveness of neurological rehabilitation.

Material and methods. The study group included 89 patients admitted to the neurological rehabilitation unit. The eligibility criterion for the treatment group was the age of 25-55 years (professionally active people) and the suff ered hemorrhagic or ischemic brain stroke. The functional performance assessment was performed using the Barthel Index and the NHPT (Nine Hole Peg Test) test. Socio-demographic data were obtained from the analysis of medical records. The survey was conducted on the fi rst and last day of stay.

Results. There was a signifi cant impact of age on the type of stroke, with people with an ischemic stroke being indeed statistically older than those with hemorrhagic stroke (50± 5 years), compared to those with hemorrhagic stroke (46± 8 years). It has been established that the time spent in a unit is dependent on the age of the patient, the older the patient the longer the hospitalization lasts. The tests assessing the functionality of the hands have showed statistically signifi cant improvements in the study group. It has been demonstrated that the improvement of functional performance depended on gender. People with diabetes performed statistically worse (Me=28 vs. Me=21).

Conclusions. 1. Older people after stroke need more time to rehabilitate. 2. There is a need for more rehabilitation in people with diabetes. 3. Longer rehabilitation for men is advisable regardless of the type of stroke.

Authors: Šimec Mateja , Krsnik Sabina , Erjavec Karmen
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Cooperation in an interdisciplinary team is an important aspect of ensuring the quality and safety of patient care, although the interaction of individuals from different disciplines in the clinical environment can also be hampered by inadequate communication.

Aim. This study attempts to fill the research gap and identify professionals’ perceptions of interdisciplinary collaboration and quality measures, the impact of interdisciplinary collaboration on the quality of care in a general hospital and clarify the perspective of patients and healthcare professionals.

Material and methods. The case study was conducted using a survey of healthcare professionals (N = 150) and a qualitative approach by interviewing healthcare professionals (N = 47) and patients (N = 20).

Results and conclusions. The results of the survey show that the nurses rated all the criteria of interdisciplinary cooperation and individual quality criteria the highest, and the quality of care in general the worst, as they were not satisfied with the implementation due to the lack of staff. The exchange of information did not affect the quality of care because organizational and national authorities did not sufficiently consider the views of staff. In in-depth interviews, patients rate teamwork as poor because they do not get enough explanation and do not feel treated as equal members of the medical team. In in-depth interviews, patients and healthcare professionals are aware of the lack of teamwork among themselves, as well as of the quality of care due to staff shortages in general and especially during the pandemic.

The sample was chosen utilizing purposive sampling means from tourists who visited beach tourism destinations in Lampung Province at least 2 times between 2021 and 2023, consisting of 330 respondents. In this study, data is analyzed based on the SEM method. The results of this study indicate that service quality and destination image affect visitor attitudes, but perceived value does not affect visitor attitudes. Service quality, perceived value, and destination image affect visitor loyalty, while visitor attitudes do not affect visitor loyalty. Then, visitor attitudes are unable to act as a mediating variable that connects service quality, perceived value, and destination image with visitor loyalty. The recent findings present prominent research inferences for expanding lore about the loyalty of destination means, especially those rivets on coastal tourism destinations.
Studi ini secara khusus meneliti efek kualitas layanan, persepsi nilai, dan citra destinasi terhadap sikap dan loyalitas pengunjung. Sampel diambil memakai metode purposive sampling dari wisatawan yang mengunjungi destinasi wisata pantai di Provinsi Lampung minimal 2 kali antara tahun 2021 sampai dengan tahun 2023, terdiri dari 330 responden. Dalam penelitian ini, data dianalisis berdasarkan metode SEM. Hasil kajian ini membuktikan bahwa kualitas layanan dan citra destinasi memengaruhi sikap pengunjung, tetapi persepsi nilai tidak memengaruhi sikap pengunjung. Kualitas pelayanan, persepsi nilai, dan citra destinasi berdampak pada loyalitas pengunjung, sedangkan sikap pengunjung tidak berdampak pada loyalitas pengunjung. Kemudian, sikap pengunjung tidak mampu berperan sebagai variabel mediasi yang menghubungkan kualitas layanan, persepsi nilai, dan citra destinasi dengan loyalitas pengunjung. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi penelitian yang signifikan untuk memperluas pengetahuan tentang proses loyalitas destinasi, terutama yang berfokus pada destinasi wisata pantai.

Adaptive Deadbeat Predictive Control for PMSM-based solar-powered electric vehicles with enhanced stator resistance compensation
Authors: Ben Said-Romdhane Marwa , Skander-Mustapha Sondes , Belhassen Ramzi
Published: November 2023

This article introduces an innovative approach called Adaptive Deadbeat Predictive Control (ADPC), specifically designed to regulate the operation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) within a solar-powered electric vehicle (SEV). Considering the influence of factors such as magnetic saturation, material aging, and temperature fluctuations, discrepancies may arise between actual and nominal parameter values. Notably, the stator inductance, permanent magnet flux linkage, and stator resistance are crucial variables in this context. The article conducts an in-depth theoretical examination of the consequences of these parameter mismatches on the overall stability of the system. To mitigate the effects of stator resistance variability, an adaptive control methodology is proposed. This strategy hinges on real-time control adaptation, achieved by continuously estimating the resistance value through diligent consideration of the actual winding temperature. The proposed Adaptive Deadbeat Predictive Control framework is seamlessly implemented and simulated within the MATLAB Simulink environment. The simulation results eloquently validate the efficacy of the proposed control approach, showcasing its adeptness in mitigating the system’s sensitivity to stator resistance deviations, thereby fortifying the overall control resilience.
Canon of Sacred Texts among the Old Believers and Organization of Religious Life in the Communities
Authors: Gurianova N. S.
Published: November 2023

The article addresses the problem of Old Believers’ reasoning for organizing religious life in the communities. It focuses on a unique attitude toward the texts, which had an almost sacred status. The author outlines a process of formation of the canon of the Old Believers’ sacred texts in the second half of the 17th century. This canon included fragments from authoritative manuscripts and printed editions that provided foundational arguments for the opponents of the church reform in any disputes, primarily related to the reformation of the rite and liturgical practice of the Russian Orthodox Church. The author also indicates a process in the first quarter of the 18th century associated with the Old Believers’ continued attempts to find citations to expand the canon of sacred texts. The article analyzes the analysis of miscellany compiled by the Vyg Old Believers in the first quarter of the 18th century. It contained fragments of texts that several generations of defenders of the Old Rite had selected. From their perspective, these texts testified to the justness of their views on controversial issues of religious life. The contents of this miscellany, given in the appendix to the article, show how citations of these texts used to be practical tools to resolve debatable issues related to theology, rites, and liturgy, as well as the organization of everyday religious life in the communities. The miscellany's compilers were keen to find texts that strengthened their positions and enabled their disciples to defend the Old Rite in debates with official church representatives and within the religious and social movement. The article concludes by arguing that the Old Believers’ canon of sacred texts was significantly expanded in the first quarter of the 17th century to include fragments of texts, which covered not only issues of theology, liturgy, and rituals but also the organization of the communities’ everyday life (for instance, performing occasional Christian services when no priest is around).
