Aim: To identify coping strategies nurses working in clinical practice use to manage workload, and, subsequently, to determine whether the choice of coping strategies is related to self-esteem. Design: Quantitative cross-sectional study. Methods: The sample consisted of 509 nurses. Two coping strategies questionnaires – Brief COPE and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale – RSES were used to collect data. The data were evaluated by descriptive statistical methods and analysed via ANOVA. Results: Nurses prefer to adopt a range of adaptive coping strategies rather than maladaptive coping strategies. The most frequently chosen adaptive coping strategies used by nurses in clinical practice are acceptance, planning, and active coping. We found that selection of coping strategies is closely related to self-esteem. We registered a significant difference in preferences for adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies as follows: nurses with high self-esteem scores (RSES) preferred adaptive coping strategies: active coping (p = 0.017), positive reframing (p = 0.001), planning (p = 0.020), and acceptance (p = 0.045). We identified selection of maladaptive coping strategies in nurses with average and low self-esteem scale results, i.e.: denial (p = 0.000), disengaged behaviour (p = 0.001), and self-blaming (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that it is important to support nurses’ self-esteem since this influences choice of adaptive coping strategies. These are an effective means of coping with the burden on nurses, which directly affects the quality of nursing care provided to patients in clinical practice.
Aim: The aim of the review is to analyze burnout in parents who provide care for children with various physical and psychosocial diseases and disabilities using available literature sources, and, subsequently, to assess the factors that increase the risk of burnout. Design: A literature review. Methods: Content analysis of research published in the years 1/2004 – 12/2018 in electronic databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, and EBSCO) was applied. Following application of the selection criteria, 14 surveys were included in the final analysis. Results: The studies integrated into the review show considerable methodological variation (i.e., different types of tools used to assess burnout, different respondent selection) and differences in the presentation of results. The analysis of the results indicates that caring for sick children is a risk factor for parent burnout. Burnout intensity is probably influenced more by parents’ subjective perception of childrenʼs diseases than the objective nature of the diseases (e.g., degree of disability, duration of disease, disease compensation). However, having a sick child is only one of many predictors of parent burnout. Some research suggests that social support, personality traits of parents, or how effectively family and partner relationships function can be more significant factors predisposing parents to burnout. Conclusion: Parental burnout is an area requiring attention from nurses in view of the potential negative impact on the health of both parents and children.

Aim:To verify, based on clinical validation whether NANDA-I identified defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Acute Pain (00132) actually occurred in patients hospitalised in Intensive Care Units in Slovakia and the Czech Republic by means of the Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model. Design:Clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis can be verified ifdefining characteristics created on the basis of conceptual analysis and validation by experts are confirmed by clinical data. Methods:We selected Fehring’s Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model as the method of clinical validation. Results:According to the values attained for Cohen’s kappa coefficient for 18 defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Acute Pain (00132)for both Slovakia and the Czech Republic, we can state that the experts agreed relatively fully only on one defining characteristic: Changes in Appetite. The attained coefficient value expresses absolute agreement among Slovak experts (1.00) and good agreement among Czech experts (0.86). Conclusion:Analysis and interpretation of the data obtained provides: information on clinically valid defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Acute Pain (00132) for Slovakia and the Czech Republic, information on the agreement between clinical conclusions of nurse-experts from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and a comparison of the results between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The study also contributes to the development ofnursing terminology.

Aim:The aim of thestudy was to investigate the use and effectiveness of a valid and reliable rating scale for summative clinical evaluation of student performance. Design:Adescriptive cross-sectional study. Methods:The study was carried out attwo Slovak universities in the academic years of 2015 and 2016. The study sample included performance evaluations of 82 students made by different lecturers using the Nursing Student Clinical Performance Evaluation Scale(NSCPES), before thepractical component of their final examinations. The students’ performances were repeatedly evaluated by five lecturers. This evaluation was compared with the grade point for the students’ clinical performance obtained in the practical component of their final examinations. The data were analysedusing descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square test, Cohenʼs Kappa, factor analyses, and the p-value < 0.05 was taken to indicate statistical significance for all comparisons. Results:Significant positive correlations were noted between two evaluations –before the final examinations using the NSCPES rating scale, and standard clinical assessment during the final examinations (r= 0.334; p≤0.01). The value of Cohen's Kappa was very low (0.04) and insignificant (p = 0.32), indicating low agreement between the two evaluations. The Slovak version was not conceptually consistent with the original version. In the Slovak version, two originally independent domains (professionalismand ethical principles) were merged into one variable –responsibility and professionalism. Conclusion:The multidimensional nature of clinical practice necessitates the use of a complex of assessment measures. A validand reliable tool may allow anobjective evaluation of nursing student performance in clinical settings. The Nursing Student Clinical Performance Evaluation Scaleis useful for summative evaluation of student performance, allowing teachers and clinical mentors to rate performance over time, and to note patterns of performance.
