AIMS: Missed nursing care (MNC) significantly affects patient safety and quality of care. It is a widely used concept that has been studied in different settings, but research in paediatric care is quite limited. Therefore, this descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to report the prevalence, patterns, correlates, factors and predictors of MNC in paediatric care units in two central European countries. DESIGN: A cross-sectional comparative study. METHODS: Data collection was carried out between June and November 2021 using the MISSCARE Survey-Pediatric. The study included 441 registered nurses working in paediatric care units in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the SPSS 25.0 statistical program. RESULTS: Almost all nurses, 92.7% of nurses missed at least one nursing activity during the last shift. The most missed care activity in both countries was the promotion of neuroevolutionary development, and the most prominent reasons were labour resources. MNC was weakly but significantly correlated with nurse experience in the current position and was predicted by the country, nurse education and overtime hours (p ≤ .05). Differences in prevalence of MNC and reasons for MNC were identified based on several variables (p ≤ .05). CONCLUSION: The assessment of MNC in paediatric settings is often a neglected area, although the prevalence in this study was moderate. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Nurse staff shortages, as a global problem, have many impacts on patient outcomes in the delivery of nursing care. However, there are also many factors that can reduce the prevalence of MNC. More research should focus on a closer examination of these factors that involve hospital and nurse variables. REPORTING METHOD: The study was carried out according to the STROBE checklist and the RANCARE guideline. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence of young adult patient-reported outcomes and experiences after ischaemic stroke has been conducted. AIM: To investigate the meaning of the lived experiences of stroke patients in working age 12-24 months after their first IS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The exploratory qualitative study used an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) design. Nine ischaemic stroke patients (with age ranges from 41 to 50 years) took part in semi-structured qualitative interviews. RESULTS: Even with mild residual neurological deficit, IS negatively impacted the quality of life daily and social life. Six subthemes and three interconnected group experiential themes were generated: (i) From confusion to understanding (ii) Triggers for rebuilding; and (iii) Challenges and benefits. CONCLUSION: The study highlights the current gaps and limitations in supporting the needs of stroke patients in working age in long-term post-stroke care. The findings are crucial for healthcare professionals to develop improved age- and mild- impairment-appropriate strategies or tailor self-management interventions for stroke patients of working age.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04839887.

Background and Purpose: Nursing students have an essential role in patient safety. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the face validity, content validity, and psychometric properties of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture for Nursing Students (HSOPS-NS). Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out between January and October 2021. The participants were undergraduate nursing students (N = 482) from 16 Czech nursing faculties. Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed an 8-factor structure, which was verified by confirmatory factor analysis using the optimization process that results in adequate goodness-of-fit indices (root mean squared error approximation = .037; standardized root mean squared residuals = .056; comparative fit index = .935; Tucker-Lewis index = .926; incremental fit index = .936). The internal consistency of a new model was excellent (α = .914). Conclusion: The results indicate that the HSOPS-NS shows evidence of reliability and validity and is a valuable measure of safety culture as perceived by nursing students.

Aim: To assess the perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in hospitalized patients with rheumatic diseases and to determine whether selected characteristics can affect their perceived quality of life. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: Data were collected between September 2022 and March 2023 using the standardized instrument to measure HRQoL, namely the RAND 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36). The sample consisted of 170 patients with rheumatic diseases hospitalized in a teaching hospital in the Czech Republic. Results: The average perceived HRQoL was 34.94 (SD = 17.06), indicating poor quality of life. The most highly rated subscale was 'emotional well-being' (56.02 ± 15.71), and the lowest rated subscale was 'role limitations due to physical health' (11.76 ± 28.54). The HRQoL subscales were significantly correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, self-care activities, pain severity, age of the patients, and length of hospitalization. Differences in HRQoL were identified based on education, social status, use of compensatory aids, attendance at social events, and history of falls in the past year (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the subject, but also underscores the importance of considering holistic factors when evaluating HRQoL in individuals with rheumatic diseases.
Aims: To gain a rich understanding of young stroke patients' lived experience one year after their first ischemic stroke. Methods: An interpretative phenomenological analysis design was used to explore the meaning of the lived experience of young stroke patients. Eight stroke survivors, aged 18-50, years took part in semi-structured qualitative interviews. Results: Stroke was not only perceived as a traumatic event that led to losses and limitations; for many participants, it was a "turning point" or a path of growth with new challenges and opportunities. Ten subthemes and three interconnected group experiential themes were generated: (i) Stroke as a sudden and unexpected event; (ii) Continuity and discontinuity of self; and (iii) Social participation. Conclusion: This research highlights several issues within current clinical services for young stroke patients one year after their first ischemic stroke. Implications for patient care - guidelines for special rehabilitation and occupational therapy programmes should be primarily concerned with overcoming residual problems after stroke. Practicing instrumental activities of daily living or skills needed for return to work is also important, as well as the existential aspects of recovery.

Aim: To investigate how nursing students assess their competencies in patient safety in the Czech Republic. Design: A pilot study. Methods: Data collection was carried out from January to April 2023 using the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey instrument through the Google Forms® platform. The sample consisted of nursing students from seven faculties in the Czech Republic (n = 145). Descriptive and inductive statistics in the statistical program SPSS 25.0 were used in data analysis. Results: Nursing students were more confident in both academic and clinical settings in the subscale of Managing safety risks (M = 3.85), and less confident in the subscale of Culture of safety (M = 3.54). Significant differences in assessment of competencies were found in three dimensions when academic and clinical settings were compared. Numerous associations were also demonstrated between patient safety dimensions and sociodemographic data, with the greatest impact on clinical factors. Conclusion: Evaluation of patient safety competencies is a key element in increasing quality and safe care in general. Integrating sociocultural aspects of patient safety into the nursing curriculum is crucial. The main focus should be on patient safety culture education.

OBJECTIVE: To examine nurse managers' perspectives on missed nursing care (MNC) on surgical units. BACKGROUND: The phenomenon of MNC is an important concern for nurse researchers. However, the reality of how it is experienced by clinical nurse managers is largely unexplored. Understanding nurse managers' experiences with MNC could help develop useful approaches to reducing levels of MNC. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted between December and June 2020, using face-to-face semistructured interviews with 10 nurse managers. RESULTS: Five themes were identified: 1) awareness of MNC; 2) rationale for MNC; 3) consequences of MNC; 4) questions of reporting; and 5) management of MNC. CONCLUSIONS: Nurse managers must use their positions and leadership skills to expect appropriate staffing approaches and material resources for surgical units, effective process for newly hired nurses, and the establishment of a reporting system for MNC to reduce the phenomenon in practice.

INTRODUCTION: Ischemic stroke (IS) may have impact on long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) even in the patients with good clinical outcome, and tools mostly used for the assessment of outcome may underestimate or not reflect all relevant sequels after IS. We aimed to analyze HRQoL in the patients with excellent outcome after IS. METHODS: We analyzed consecutive IS patients enrolled in the prospective FRAILTY study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04839887) with excellent 3-month clinical outcome (score 0-1 in modified Rankin Scale [mRS]). Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) version 3.0 and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used for the HRQoL, anxiety, and depression assessments, and subgroup comparisons were performed according to NIHSS score (0, ≥1), age (50<, ≥50 years), and sex. RESULTS: In total, 158 patients (55.7% men, mean age 60.3 ± 13.4 years) were analyzed, and 72.2% of them had score 0 in mRS. The overall lowest median scores were found in the SIS domain "emotion," "strength," and "participation." Patients with NIHSS ≥1 had lower scores in all SIS domains except "emotions" and "mobility." Patients ≥50 years had lower score in "mobility" (p = 0.004) and females in domain of "social participation" (p = 0.044). No differences were found among all subgroups in HADS anxiety and depression. Age, NIHSS score, and depression were found negative predictors for the physical domains of HRQoL. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: Despite excellent 3-month clinical outcome after IS, patients had affected substantially their HRQoL, especially those with NIHSS ≥1. Patients ≥50 years had more affected "mobility" and females "social participation."

Úvod: Bezpečnosť pacienta je jednou z hlavných priorít zdravotníckych zariadení na celom svete. Pohľad študentov ošetrovateľstva na bezpečnosť pacienta je nevyhnutný pre plánovanie stratégií na zlepšenie bezpečnosti pacienta a jej kultúry. Vnímanie bezpečnosti pacienta študentmi ošetrovateľstva sa môže líšiť medzi vyučovacími a vzdelávacími postupmi na katedrách ošetrovateľstva, ale závisí aj od klinických skúseností získaných počas klinickej praxe. Cieľ: Zhromaždiť a porovnať existujúce empirické výskumné štúdie o faktoroch ovplyvňujúcich vnímanie bezpečnosti pacienta z pohľadu študentov ošetrovateľstva. Metódy: Vyhľadávanie bolo realizované vo vedeckých databázach PubMed, Scopus a ProQuest vo februári 2023 a bolo limitované na jeden jazyk (angličtina). Výsledkom vyhľadávania bolo 1 703 štúdií. Pri syntéze údajov bola použitá metóda obsahovej analýzy. Výsledky: 36 štúdií bolo relevantných pre tento prehľad. Identifikovaných bolo 23 faktorov, ktoré ovplyvňujú vedomosti, zručnosti a postoje študentov ošetrovateľstva k bezpečnosti pacienta. Opísané boli štyri hlavné skupiny faktorov: Faktory súvisiace s demografickými údajmi; Faktory súvisiace s klinickým prostredím; Faktory súvisiace s akademickým prostredím; Kontextové faktory. Záver: Vnímanie bezpečnosti pacienta študentmi ošetrovateľstva bolo ovplyvnené vzdelávacím a klinickým prostredím. Vo vzťahu k vzdelávaniu je potrebné integrovať tému bezpečnosti pacienta na začiatku štúdia v odbore ošetrovateľstvo a posilniť doterajšie poznatky o nežiaducich udalostiach.
Introduction: Patient safety is one of the main priorities of healthcare facilities worldwide. The perspective of nursing students on patient safety is essential for planning strategies to improve patient safety and its culture. Nursing students' perception of patient safety may differ between teaching and learning practices in nursing faculties, but also depends on the clinical experience gained during clinical placement. Objective: To collate existing empirical research studies on factors influencing the perception of patient safety from the perspective of nursing students. Methods: The search was performed in scientific databases PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest in February 2023 and was limited to one language (English). The search produced 1,703 studies. The content analysis method was used in data synthesis. Results: 36 studies were considered relevant for the review. 23 factors that affect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing students towards patient safety were determined. Four main factor groups were described as follows: Factors related to demographic data; Factors related to clinical environment; Factors related to academic environment; Contextual factors. Conclusion: Nursing students' perception of patient safety was influenced by the educational and clinical environment. In relation to education, there is a need to integrate the patient safety subject at the beginning of nursing studies and to strengthen existing knowledge about adverse events.
Cíl: Zjistit, jaké jsou životní zkušenosti pacientky po prodělané ischemické cévní mozkové příhodě (iCMP) v mladém věku a jaký vliv mělo toto onemocnění na kvalitu jejího dalšího života (Health Related Quality of Life, HRQoL). Metodika: Pilotní studie měla charakteristiku interpretativní fenomenologické případové studie. Sběr dat byl realizován prostřednictvím hloubkového polostrukturovaného rozhovoru se zaměřením na oblasti zkoumaného fenoménu. Přepis rozhovoru byl analyzován na základě interpretativní fenomenologické analýzy (IPA). Participantka: 45letá žena, 2 roky po prodělané iCMP, před nemocí OSVČ provozovatelka baru. V důsledku přetrvávajících následků po iCMP (únava, expresivní fatická porucha, lehká paréza PHK a deprese) je v invalidním důchodu. Výsledky: Bylo identifikováno celkem osm témat, která popisují pacientčinu zkušenost s následky iCMP. Tato témata jsme charakterizovali jako: Bylo to mimo mě – včasné a adekvátní poskytnutí zdravotní péče; Byla jsem nikdo – následky těžké afázie; Byla jsem živá, veselá, divoká – ztráta integrity; Únava – změna denního rytmu; Byla jsem všude, teď pořád doma – sociální izolace; Naučila jsem se už chodit a mluvit – přínos intenzivní RHB a logopedické péče; Úspěchy po malých krůčcích – postupný návrat do normálního života; Partner a rodina jako pomoc, podpora a motivace – nový rozměr vztahů. Závěr: I přes významné zlepšení klinického stavu po iCMP mohou být její dopady pro kvalitu života velmi výrazné. U referované mladé pacientky trvalo její zotavení řadu měsíců až let i přes intenzivní rehabilitační, logopedickou a psychologickou podporu. Dlouhodobě přetrvává únava, depresivní ladění, abulie, společenská izolace. Pro adekvátní péči o tyto pacienty je potřeba vysoce individuálního přístupu multidisciplinárních týmů.
Objective: To find out the life experiences of a patient after an ischemic stroke (IS) at a young age and what effect this disease had on the quality of her further life (Health Related Quality of Life, HRQoL). Methodology: The pilot study had the characteristics of an interpretative phenomenological case study. Data collection was carried out through an in-depth semi-structured interview focusing on the areas of the investigated phenomenon. The interview transcript was analysed based on interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Participant: 45-year-old woman, two years after IS, self-employed bar operator before the illness. As a result of the lingering consequences after IS (fatigue, expressive phatic disorder, slight right arm paresis and depression), she is on disability pension. Results: A total of 8 themes were identified that describe the patient's experience with the consequences of IS. We characterized these themes as: It was beyond me – timely and adequate provision of health care; I was nobody – the consequences of severe aphasia; I was lively, cheerful, wild – loss of integrity; Fatigue – change in daily rhythm; I was everywhere, now always at home – social isolation; I have already learned to walk and talk – the benefit of intensive RHB and speech therapy care; Successes in small steps – a gradual return to normal life; Partner and family as help, support and motivation – a new dimension of relationships. Conclusion: Despite the significant improvement of the clinical condition after IS, its impact on the quality of life can be very significant. In the case of the referred young patient, her recovery took many months to years despite intensive rehabilitation, speech therapy and psychological support. Fatigue, depressive mood, abulia, social isolation persist for a long time. Adequate care for these patients requires a highly individualized approach by multidisciplinary teams.
