Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between Hungarian nursing students' career choices and nursing professionalism in the context of sex and gender roles. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The study, conducted between March 2023 and June 2023, employed a combination of a self-developed questionnaire and validated measurement instruments (Bem Sex Role Inventory 12 - BSRI-12; Nurse Professional Competence Scale - NPC Scale; 10-item Gender Role Beliefs Scale - GRBS). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. The sample consisted of 252 BSc nursing students in Hungary (53 males, 199 females). Results: It was found that most students surveyed exhibited feminine traits (n = 84) and adhered to traditional gender roles (n = 132). Statistical analysis demonstrated significant associations between nursing students' gender roles (p = 0.004), adherence to traditional gender roles (p < 0.000), and levels of nursing professionalism. Notably, an androgynous gender role correlated with heightened nursing professionalism (p < 0.001). Additionally, career choice motivations were influenced by sex, gender role, and individual perceptions of gender roles. Conclusion: A diversity of gender roles which influence individuals' future careers in nursing was identified. Different motivating factors play a role in male and female nursing students' career choices, knowledge of which would be useful in student recruitment in order to reduce nursing staff shortages.
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.

Cíl: Zhodnotit zkušenosti studentů oboru praktická a všeobecná sestra v době pandemie COVID-19 a jejich pohled na pracovní povinnost. Metody: Průřezová studie s využitím originálního online dotazníku. Statistická analýza (Pearsonův chí-kvadrát test, Kruskal–Wallisův test, test pořadové nezávislosti a Spearmanova korelace) byla provedena na hladině významnosti 0,05. Výsledky: Průzkumu se zúčastnilo 390 studentů oboru praktická a všeobecná sestra. Studenti ze střední zdravotnické školy pracovali pod dohledem častěji než studenti z vyšších odborných škol a univerzity (p = 0,000). Deklarovaná emoční stabilita a subjektivní pocit odolnosti vůči stresu se zvyšovaly s rostoucím věkem respondentů (p = 0,000). Frekvence negativních emocí se lišila mezi pohlavími. Četnost deklarovaných negativních emocí „strach“ (p = 0,049), „obavy o své zdraví“ (p = 0,010) a „únava a vyčerpání“ (p = 0,004) častěji deklarovaly ženy. Závěr: Respondenti deklarovali významný dopad státem nařízené pracovní povinnosti na studium. Navzdory výsledkům studenti uváděli, že jsou se svou prací spokojeni a rádi by v ní pokračovali i v budoucnu (61,28 %). Největším přínosem pro studenty ošetřovatelství bylo získání nových znalostí a praktických dovedností v péči o pacienty (80,51 %). Studenti deklarovali, že přínosem bylo posílení dovedností v jejich kritickém myšlení (88,72 %), získání samostatnosti při klinickém rozhodování (87,18 %) a také výkon odborných činností (81,20 %).
Aim: To assess nursing students' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and their perspectives on state-mandated work. Methods: Cross-sectional study, original online survey. Statistical analysis was performed at the significance level of 0.05 (Pearson chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis test, test of ordinal independence, and Spearman correlation). Results: 390 nursing students participated in the survey. Students from the Secondary School of Nursing worked under supervision more often than students from Colleges and University (p = 0.000). Declared emotional stability and subjective feelings of resilience to stress increased with the increasing age of respondents (p = 0.000). The frequency of negative emotion declaration differed between genders. The frequency of the stated negative emotions, "fear" (p = 0.049), "concern for one's health" (p = 0.010), and "tiredness and exhaustion" (p = 0.004), was more often declared by women. Conclusion: Respondents declared that the state-mandated work obligation had a significant impact on their studies. Despite the results, students reported that they are satisfied with the work and would like to continue in the future (61.28%). The greatest benefit for nursing students was acquiring new knowledge and practical skills in patient care (80.51%). Students declared that it was beneficial to enhance their critical thinking skills (88.72%), gain independence in making clinical decisions (87.18%), and experience in performing professional activities (81.20%).

Aim: The study aimed to describe how undergraduate nursing students evaluated the clinical learning environment of their studies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Design: Longitudinal cohort study. Methods: The research sample of 49 full-time students who completed their first year clinical practice in the academic year of 2018/2019 was followed over three years of study. The Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher evaluation scale (CLES+T) was used for data collection. Quantitative data were evaluated using descriptive and inductive statistics. Results: Overall, students evaluated the clinical environment throughout their studies as average. Interaction with a tutor received the lowest rating, while relationship with mentor and external factors of the clinical environment (nursing management and nursing care in the workplace) received the highest rating. Second-year students rated the practice environment most highly. Students were satisfied with individual supervision in the first two years. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, group supervision prevailed in the third year, resulting in reduced student satisfaction. Conclusion: Students' perception of the clinical learning environment changed during their studies. These changes were driven by the quality of certain academic and clinical factors. The Covid-19 pandemic represented a significant impingement on the course and organization of clinical practice.

Aim: The study aimed to describe the various ways in which Italian midwives reconcile their profession's philosophical views about labor with the use of epidural analgesia in clinical practice. Design: Interpretive description. Methods: A purposeful sample of 41 midwives and 12 midwifery students participated in the study. Information about their perceptions and experiences of the use of epidural analgesia and how this practice aligns with their professional values were explored through in-depth interviews (n = 10 focus groups; n = 1 one-to-one interview). The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data. Results: With respect to aligning midwifery care with the administration of epidural analgesia, two midwifery positions were identified: the midwife that acted "in harmony" and the "disoriented midwife", defined by three dimensions: 1) the midwife's conception of her professional role; 2) the woman's attitude towards labor and; 3) the midwife's relationship and comfort with other professionals in the labor room. Conclusion: The results of this research highlight how difficult it can be for a midwife to reconcile a specific philosophical view of labor with the use of epidural analgesia. These findings can provide useful insights to help midwives in the challenging task of combining epidural analgesia with their philosophical view of labor to offer a better birth experience to women.

Aim: To investigate the perception of patient safety culture of nursing students on their clinical placement during the Covid-19 pandemic. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: Data were collected using the online form of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture for Nursing Students, between January and March 2021. The respondents were 248 nursing students from the Czech Republic. Results: Although overall level of patient safety was high in nursing students, the recommended limit of over 75% was not achieved in any dimension. Factors that influenced assessment of individual dimensions included age, student status, form of study, current clinical placement, and clinical supervision. Overall level of patient safety was found to be a predictor of the values of individual dimensions. Conclusion: The role of nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic was invaluable. However, it is important to raise awareness about adverse events in nursing students in the Czech Republic.
Úvod: K faktorom ovplyvňujúcim vznik civilizačných chorôb patrí nepriaznivá zmena životného štýlu a pôsobenie stresu.Ciele: Hlavným cieľom príspevku je oboznámiť s výsledkami výskumu, cieľom ktorého bolo zmapovať prítomnosť rizikových faktorov civilizačných ochorení v živote študentov fakulty zdravotníctva, zhodnotiť celkovú kvalitu ich života a kvalitu ich psychického zdravia.Metódy a dizajn: Bola použitá kvantitatívna dotazníková metóda čiastočne upraveného štandardizovaného dotazníka WHOOL-BREF, stupnica hodnotenia psychického zdravia a fyzikálne merania hodnôt TK (tlaku krvi) glykémie a BMI (Body Mass Index). Na analýzu dát boli použité štatistické metódy. Súbor tvorilo 203 študentov fakulty zdravotníctva SZU, z odborov ošetrovateľstvo, fyzioterapia, urgentná zdravotná starostlivosť a laboratórne vyšetrovacie metódy v zdravotníctve.Výsledky a diskusia: Z výsledkov výskumu vyplýva, že priemerné hodnoty všetkých fyzikálnych parametrov boli v norme. V analýze BMI vs systolický TK bola zistená štatistická závislosť medzi BMI < 18,5 vs BMI < (25; 30): p = 0,00127 (nadváha, vyšší tlak ako podváha) α = 0,01; BMI < 18,5 vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0,0078 (obezita, vyšší tlak ako podváha) α = 0,01; BMI < (18,5; 25) vs BMI < (25; 30): p = 0,00126 (nadváha, vyšší tlak ako normálna váha) α = 0,01; BMI < (18,5; 25) vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0,0332 (obezita, vyšší tlak ako normálna váha) α = 0,05. Analýza výsledkov potvrdila štatisticky výrazne nižšie hodnoty v položkách: spokojnosť so životom, prežívanie, fungovanie, viera a filozofia. V hodnotení psychického zdravia 12,81 % (26) študentov potvrdilo narušené psychické zdravie na štatistickom významnom rozdiele percentuálnych hodnôt (test zhody dvoch podielov; z = -14,9880; zkrit = -2,3263; p < 0,0001; (p = 4,398.10-51)). V hodnotení psychického zdravia najhoršie bodové skóre dosiahli študenti v odbore ošetrovateľstvo.Záver: Ochrana a upevňovanie ľudského zdravia je dôležitou súčasťou našej spoločnosti. Rozhodujúcim činiteľom v tomto procese je aj študent budúci profesionálny zdravotnícky pracovník, ktorý vykonáva svoju prácu v príslušnom zdravotníckom povolaní. Konzumný spôsob života nezriedka orientuje životný štýl na uspokojovanie ekonomických potrieb a tým významne narušuje vyváženosť formovania fyzickej, mentálnej a psychosociálnej stránky osobnosti človeka. Výsledky prieskumu nemožno zhodnotiť jednoznačne negatívne ale ani pozitívne. Aktívny prístup k zdraviu, zdravotná kultúra a kompetencia je povinnosťou tak celospoločenskou, ako aj individuálnou. Výsledky prieskumu tento aspekt aj napriek priemerným hodnotám nepotvrdili.
Introduction: Factors influencing the emergence of civilization diseases include adverse lifestyle changes and stress.Objectives: The main aim of the paper is to present the results of the research aimed to map the presence of risk factors of civilization diseases in the life of students of the Faculty of Health, to evaluate the overall quality of their lives and the quality of their mental health.Methods and design: The quantitative questionnaire method of the partially modified standardized WHOOL-BREF questionnaire was used, the mental health scale and physical measurements of blood glucose and body mass index (BMI) values were used also. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The sample consisted of 203 students of the Faculty of Health of the Slovak Medical University, from department of Nursing, Physiotherapy, Emergency Health Care and Laboratory Examination Methods in Health Care.Results and discussion: The results of the research show that the average values of all physical parameters were normal. In the BMI verzus systolic TK analysis, statistic dependence between BMI < 18.5 vs BMI < (25; 30) was found out: p = 0.00127 (overweight, higher pressure than underweight) α = 0.01; BMI < 18.5 vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0.0078 (obesity, higher pressure than underweight) α = 0.01; BMI < (18.5; 25) vs BMI < (25; 30): p = 0.00126 (overweight, higher pressure than normal weight) α = 0.01; BMI < (18.5; 25) vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0.0332 (obesity, higher pressure than normal weight) α = 0.05. The analysis of the results confirmed statistically significantly lower values in the items: satisfaction with life, living, functioning, faith and philosophy. In the assessment of mental health, 12.81 % (26) of the students confirmed impaired mental health at a statistically significant percentage difference (two-fold equivalence test; z = -14.9880; zkrit = -2.3263; p < 0.0001; (p = 4.398.10-51)). In the evaluation of mental health, the worst score was achieved by students in the field of nursing.Conclusion: Protecting and consolidating human health is an important part of our society. The decisive factor in this process is also the student as a future professional healthcare worker who performs his / her work in the relevant medical profession. Consumable lifestyle often focuses on lifestyle to meet economic needs and thus significantly distorts the balance of physical, mental and psychosocial aspects of human personality. The results of the survey cannot be unambiguously negative or positive. Active approach to health, health culture and competence are both social and individual responsibilities. The results of the survey did not confirm this aspect despite average values.

Východiska: Motivace ke studiu oboru všeobecná sestra je téma velmi aktuální vzhledem k nedostatku zdravotnických pracovníků v ošetřovatelské praxi. Tento problém je diskutován nejen u nás, ale i v zahraničí a hledají se faktory, které souvisí s motivací studentů ošetřovatelství ke studiu, jeho úspěšnému ukončení a k práci v oboru.Cíl: Cílem výzkumu bylo zjistit, jaká je orientace studentů nelékařských zdravotnických oborů na péči a profesní odbornost. Zajímalo nás, jaké jsou rozdíly v motivaci ke studiu a orientaci na ošetřovatelství mezi studenty oboru praktická sestra, diplomovaná všeobecná sestra a bakalářského oboru všeobecná sestra.Metody: Průřezová studie probíhala na středních a vyšších zdravotnických školách a na vysokých školách v Plzeňském a Středočeském kraji. Data byla shromážděna anonymně pomocí dotazníku.Výsledky: Výsledné souvislosti vycházejí z odpovědí 193 respondentů. Z dotazníku, který se zaměřil na Orientaci na péči a profesní odbornost, bylo zjištěno, že výsledky obou škál se u skupin rozdělených dle úrovně vzdělání studentů statisticky významně neliší. Na Orientaci na péči má vliv faktor Pohlaví (p = 0,002), Základní zkušenost s ošetřováním v rodině (p = 0,04), Přímá pracovní zkušenost s ošetřováním nemocných (p = 0,001), Ošetřovatelství jako hobby (p = 0,031) a Rozhodnutí setrvat v oboru (p = 0,000). Tyto proměnné míru orientace na ošetřovatelství/ošetřování nemocných ovlivňují kladně. Na Orientaci na profesní odbornost má pozitivní vliv pouze Přímá pracovní zkušenost s ošetřováním nemocných (p = 0,026) a Rozhodnutí setrvat v oboru (p = 0,000). Závěr: Většina zdravotnických systémů ve světě se potýká s nedostatkem kvalifikovaného personálu na všech úrovních poskytovaných zdravotnických služeb. Je tedy důležité odhalit příčiny a řešit následky pro zachování kvalitní a dostupné péče.
Background: Motivation to study general nursing is very actual theme because of lack of nursing professionals in nursing practice. This problem is discussed not only in Czech Republic, but also in foreign countries and there is effort to find the factors of student's motivation to study nursing profession, to finish this study with success and to find the work in practice.Aim: The aim of theses was discover nursing student's orientation to nursing and healthcare expertise. We tried to find the differences in motivation to study and orientation to nursing between groups of students several specialization - Practice Nurse, General qualified Nurse and General Nurse with Bachelor title.Methods: Cross-sectional study was made at the Nursing practice school, the High level nursing college in Pilsen region and Central Bohemian Region and at The University of West Bohemia. The information was collected anonymously via questionnaire.Results: The resulting context come out from 193 answers of respondents. When we compare answers from Orientation to caring and nursing expertise questionnaire, we did not find out statistic differences between groups of students specific educational fields. When we compare specific factors relating with Orientation to caring questionnaire we find out significant differences between factors of Gender (p = 0.002), Basic experience with caring in family (p = 0.04), Direct work experience with care of patient (p = 0.001), Nursing like a hobby (p = 0.031) and Decision to stay in healthcare profession (p = 0.000). These variable values have a positive influence for results Orientation to caring questionnaire. When we compare these factors with Orientation to nursing expertise, there were significants only two factors, Direct work experience with care of patient (p = 0.026) and Decision to stay in healthcare profession (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The most of Healthcare systems on the world contend with lack of qualified healthcare professionals on every level of provided healthcare services. This is the reason to find out causes of this problem and solve the consequences for maintenance quality and availability care of patient.
Aim:The aim of the cross-sectional study was to assess attitudes of nursing students towards the elderly and to determine whether they are influenced by their age, field, type and current year of study. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The research sample comprised 459 nursing students (nursing assistants, andnursing students on a bachelorʼs and masterʼs degree course). To collect data we used the Koganʼs Attitude towards Old People Scale (KAOP) which is designed to measure attitudes toward the elderly. Good psychometric properties were found in the Czech version of KAOP (Cronbach alpha > 0.7). Results:The attitudes towards the elderly were quite balanced; 55% of nursing students reported a slightly positive attitude and 42 % demonstrated a slightly negative attitude toward the elderly. The highest KAOP score was recorded in students on the master's degree course. A statistically significant difference was found in students' attitudes towards the elderly according to theirlevel of education (p < 0.01) and age (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing education should include programs and interventions focusing on improving attitudes of students towards the elderly and their motivation for working with them.
Výzkum poukazuje na potencionální roli specifického kulturního prostředí, které hraje roli při porozumění spirituality a duchovní péče mezi ošetřujícím personálem a studenty. Duchovní péče se ve Slovinsku stále vyvíjí a zvyšuje se i úsilí o větší profesionalitu ošetřovatelského personálu. Cíle studie, která byla provedena na vzorku studentů ošetřovatelství ze Slovinska, byly: (1) prozkoumat, jak studenti ošetřovatelství vnímají spiritualitu a duchovní péči; (2) prozkoumat roli demografických charakteristik; (3) zjistit, jaká důležitost je přikládána vzdělání v oblasti duchovní péče. Aplikovány byly kvantitativní a analytické metody výzkumu. Studie se zúčastnili studenti bakalářského oboru ošetřovatelství na jedné slovinské fakultě. Pro hodnocení chápání spirituality a duchovní péče byla použita měřicí škála. Pro každou položku byla vypracována popisná statistika a pro zjištění významných rozdílů mezi demografickými charakteristikami a vnímáním spirituality a duchovní péče studenty byly použity statistické testy. Výsledky byly porovnány s výsledky předchozích studií, které byly provedeny na vzorku studentů ošetřovatelství a na zdravotních sestrách. Výsledky ukázaly, že studenti měli výrazný existenční pohled na spiritualitu a vyjádřili pochybnosti o tom, zda by duchovní péče měla být součástí ošetřovatelského vzdělávání. Vlastní víra, náboženská praxe a pohlaví výrazně ovlivňovaly přístup ke spiritualitě a duchovní péči. K dosažení lepšího kulturního sebeuvědomění a rozvoji koordinovaných vzdělávacích programů je třeba provést další, nadnárodní výzkum týkající se spirituality a duchovní péče.
Research shows the potential role of a specific cultural environment in understanding spirituality and spiritual care among nursing staff and students. In Slovenia, spiritual care within the framework of nursing is still under development alongside efforts for the greater professionalisation of nursing. The objectives of the study performed on a sample of nursing students from Slovenia were to: (1) explore nursing students' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care; (2) examine the role of demographic characteristics, and (3) determine the perceived importance of education in the field of spiritual care. A quantitative, non-experimental survey research method was applied. Undergraduate nursing students enrolled in one of the Slovenian faculties participated in the study. The original Spirituality and Spiritual Rating Scale was utilised as the research instrument. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each item of the instrument and statistical tests were used to identify significant differences between the demographic characteristics of the sample and students' perceptions of and experiences with spirituality and spiritual care. The results were compared with those of previous studies on samples of nursing care students and employed nurses. The results showed that students had a pronounced existential view of spirituality and expressed doubt as to whether spiritual care should be an integral part of nursing and nursing education. Self-reported religiosity, religious practice, and gender, showed an important contribution to spirituality and spiritual care perceptions. Further multinational research on spirituality and spiritual care are needed to achieve better cultural self-awareness and development of coordinated educational programs.
