Introduction: The central venous catheter (CVC) and its use represents a step forward in patient treatment, but involves numerous potential complications. Applying nursing standards to clinical practice achieves high-quality nursing care. Design: Cross-sectional quantitative study using a questionnaire. Methods: Quantitative research using questionnaire technique was conducted to examine nurses' knowledge of nursing care for central venous catheters and adherence to nursing standards. The research sample consisted of 256 nurses in selected regional hospitals in the Slovak Republic. The criterion for including nurses in the sample was the provision of CVC care in routine practice. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and statistical testing methods. Results: The research found that nurses have certain shortcomings in nursing care for central venous catheters. Nurses know how to work correctly according to aseptic procedures (81%), but they are unsure what barrier devices are needed for dressing and treatment (25%). Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that despite nurses' knowledge being adequate, it is necessary to provide regular training on the principles of CVC care to reduce infections associated with healthcare.
Dôležitou potrebou každého jedinca je jeho spirituálna oblasť. Ide o viacrozmernú a zložitú oblasť, ktorá prispieva k zvládaniu závažných ochorení, ako je napríklad rakovina. V prípadoch ochorenia žien s rakovinou prsníka zároveň napomáha pri udržiavaní nádeje a zvládaní príznakov ochorenia, nájdení cesty k sebe samej, ale aj pri vysporiadaní sa s náročnou liečbou. V nami realizovanom výskume sa prostredníctvom dvoch štandardizovaných dotazníkov FACT-B a FACIT-SP preukázalo, že sa odráža na kvalite života týchto pacientok, a to vo všetkých jej dimenziách. Zároveň bolo identifikované, že pacientky s diagnózou karcinóm prsníka na Slovensku vykazujú vysokú mieru spirituality. Na základe výsledkov možno tvrdiť, že podporou ich spirituálnych potrieb je možné zvýšiť aj kvalitu života.
An important need of each individual is his spirituality. It is a multidimensional and complex area that contributes to the management of serious diseases, such as cancer. In cases of women's breast cancer, it also helps maintain hope and manage the symptoms of the disease, find a way to oneself, but also cope with demanding treatment. In our research, two standardized questionnaires, FACT-B and FACIT-SP, has shown that spirituality also reflects the quality of life of these patients, in all its dimensions. At the same time, it was identified that patients diagnosed with breast cancer in Slovakia show a high level of spirituality. Based on the results, it can be argued that by supporting their spiritual needs, their quality of life can also be increased.
Neoddeliteľnou súčasťou vzdelávacieho procesu študentov ošetrovateľstva v klinickom prostredí je efektívna a účinná motivácia. Nezastupiteľnú úlohu v tomto procese zohráva vzťah medzi študentom a mentorom. Rola mentora je pre študenta pre výkone klinickej praxe kľúčová.
The effective and active motivation is an integral part of the educational process of nursing students in a clinical environment. The relationship between the student and the mentor plays an irreplaceable role in this process. The mentor's role is crucial for the student to perform clinical practice.
Súhrn Cieľ: Cieľom výskumu bolo preukázať pozitívny efekt kognitívneho tréningu na stav kognitívnych funkcií u seniorov s demenciou. Dizajn: Kvalitatívna prierezová štúdia. Metodika: Kognitívneho tréningu sa zúčastnilo celkom 22 seniorov, ktorí spĺňali nami stanovené kritéria zaradenia do výberového súboru. Seniori absolvovali 14 lekcii intenzívneho dvojtýždňového skupinového kognitívneho tréningu v trvaní 45 minút. Náplň tvorili cvičenia na pozornosť a koncentráciu, mnemotechniky a ich uplatnenie v živote, úlohy na precvičovanie krátkodobej a dlhodobej pamäti. Všetci seniori boli na začiatku vyšetrení testom MoCA-CZ. Po skončení skupinového kognitívneho tréningu prebehlo re-testovanie a záverečné hodnotenie. Pre štatistické spracovanie výsledkov bol použitý program Microsoft Excel. Výsledky: Kognitívny tréning preukázal v 18 prípadoch mierne navýšenie bodov v MoCA teste v rozsahu 1-4 bodov. V štyroch prípadoch sa stav bodov nezmenil. Po skončení 14 lekcií kognitívneho tréningu teda došlo u seniorov k navýšeniu v priemere o 2 body. Väčšina účastníkov tiež uviedla, že kognitívny tréning bol pre nich prínosný, povzbudil ich k ďalšej aktivite a subjektívne pociťovali po jeho absolvovaní zlepšenie v oblasti kognitívnych funkcií. Záver: Kognitívny tréning sa preukázal ako efektívny nástroj pri zlepšovaní kognitívnych funkcií a aktivity seniorov s miernou až stredne ťažkou demenciou.
Aim: The aim of the research was to demonstrate the positive effect of cognitive training on the state of cognitive functions in seniors with dementia. Design: Qualitative cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 22 seniors who met the criteria (which we specified for listing in the selected sample) participated in the cognitive training. The seniors completed 14 lessons (each lasting 45 minutes) of intensive two-week group cognitive training. The content included exercises for practicing attention and concentration, mnemotechnics and their application in life, and tasks for practicing short-term and long-term memory. All seniors were initially examined with the MoCA-CZ test. After completing the group cognitive training, re-testing and final evaluation were performed. Microsoft Excel was used for statistical processing of the results. Results: The cognitive training demonstrated a slight increase in the MoCA test score by 1-4 points in 18 cases. In four cases, the score did not change. Thus, after 14 lessons of cognitive training, there was an average increase of the score by 2 points per person. Most of the participants also stated that the cognitive training was beneficial for them and encouraged them to be more active. Moreover, they felt an improvement in cognitive functions after completing it. Conclusions: Cognitive training has proven to be an effective tool in improving cognitive functions and activity in seniors with mild to moderate dementia.

Epilepsie je onemocnění mozku charakterizované trvalou predispozicí k vzniku epileptických záchvatů (Sýkora, 2008). Základním příznakem epilepsie je epileptický záchvat, který je charakterizovaný náhlou, přechodnou a stereotypní poruchou funkcí mozku. Jde o komplex různých poruch – poruchy vědomí, motorických, senzitivních, senzorických, psychických a autonomních funkcí. Mohou se vyskytovat izolovaně, mohou následovat po sobě nebo současně (Sýkora, 2004).
