Professionalism Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
Introduction: Professionalism is a multidimensional and dynamic concept that can be understood and interpreted differently depending on time, job position, or culture context. Objective: To investigate how nurses with advanced practice interpret and understand professionalism in the Slovak sociocultural context. Methods: This qualitative study adopted an interpretative design. The sample consisted of seven advanced practice nurses (APNs). Data were collected between November 2021 and December 2022 using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Professionalism was interpreted through five meaningful themes: Management support; Professional socialization; Nurse professional; Challenges and problems of professionalism in nursing; Relationships. Advanced practice nurses interpreted professionalism as a multidimensional concept that encompasses several interconnected attributes. Nurses highlighted the role of professional organization, the importance of professional socialization, education, and lifelong learning as important attributes in building and maintaining professionalism - and considered the nurse shortage to be one of the biggest challenges that threatens professionalism. Conclusion: Advanced practice nurses contribute to the sustainability of the health system. Their understanding and interpretation of professionalism may support the nursing profession in general.

Aim: To provide an overview of instruments measuring nurse professionalism, and to analyze and critically evaluate the psychometric properties of these instruments. Design: A narrative literature review. Methods: A search was made for studies focusing on instruments measuring nurse professionalism using relevant terms. The literature search was conducted between September and December 2020 in two scientific databases: Scopus, and ProQuest. A total of eleven studies featuring instruments to measure nurse professionalism were included in the analysis. A content analysis approach was adopted. Results: We identified eleven self-report instruments measuring nurse professionalism, seven of which were designed to measure nurse professionalism in general, and four which measured more specific concepts, such as nursing values or nurse-nurse collaboration. The instruments demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. Conclusion: There is a lack of research focusing on nurse professionalism in a European context, and in Slovakia in particular. With increasing demands on nursing care, it is necessary to examine this phenomenon within nursing practice. We, therefore, recommend that research be conducted using instruments to measure nurse professionalism in Europe and in Slovakia.

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.

En este artículo se plantea una definición del campo de la Informática Biomédica y de la Salud, en línea con los últimos desarrollos internacionales. A partir de ella, se recogen una serie de “mitos” o concepciones erróneas, a juicio de los autores, que se detectan en relación al futuro desarrollo de esta disciplina profesional y científica. Se analiza cual es la situación de la Informática Biomédica y de la Salud en Espana y en Australia y en el ámbito internacional y se aportan una serie de recomendaciones para mejorar nuestra situación. Todo ello se realiza siguiendo tres ejes: -la educación, -la investigación y -la caracterización y desarrollo de la profesión (profesionalismo). Definir cuál es el cuerpo de conocimiento propio de esta disciplina es un paso inicial que debe ser realizado y asumido cuanto antes.
This article proposes a definition of the field of Health and Biomedical Informatics, in line with recent international developments. According to the authors, there are several myths or misconception concerning the future development of this scientific and professional discipline. We describe the current situation of Health and Biomedical Informatics at an international level, include specific analysis for the two countries where the authors have worked (Spain and Australia) and finally propose a series of recommendations to improve it. All this analysis is carried out in three areas: education, research, and professionalism (characterisation and development of the profession). Defining the body of knowledge of the discipline itself is an initial step that must be made and taken as soon as possible.
BACKGROUND: To be a "good doctor" and have "good medical practices" are apparent goals for both medical students and medical faculties. However, the associated implicit and explicit standards could be a source of distress in the form of pressure to achieve professionalism. Self-compassion has been identified as a transtherapeutic factor that plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining mental health. It seems to be an essential meta-skill to learn, especially for medical students who often perceive imperfection as failure. In this pilot study, we investigated the qualities that medical students attribute to the "good doctor" concept, how they perceive themselves compared to this concept, and whether any possible discrepancy between these two perspectives could be associated with self-compassion. METHODS: Altogether, 301 medical students participated in the study (mean age 22.3 ± 2.1; 71.8 % female). The discrepancy between concepts was measured by a semantic differential consisting of a list of 36 adjectives and antonyms that students repeatedly mentioned in courses in their responses to the question "What should a doctor be like?" Self-compassion was measured by the Self-Compassion Scale. RESULTS: The obtained results offer an insight into students' conceptualization of a "good doctor" and the hierarchy of given characteristics. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between the discrepancy between the "ideal" doctor concept vs. actual self-perception and Self-Compassion Scale scores. The more students are compassionate to themselves, the lower the discrepancy. CONCLUSIONS: The current pilot study supports the hypothesis that student self-compassion could play some role in the degree of discrepancy between the ideal "good doctor" image and student self-concept. This result could support the importance of educational interventions developing self-compassion for medical students. The proposed discrepancy measurement could also be a tool for measuring the effect of well-being programs aimed at self-compassion in medical students.

ÚVOD: Cílem práce je poukázat na možnosti prevence vzniku nozokomiálních infekcí na všeobecně chirurgickém oddělení malé nemocnice, které poskytuje rozsáhlejší péči i v oblasti traumatologie. MATERIÁL: Podkladem ke zhodnocení byla hlášení nozokomiálních infekcí, závěry každotýdenních seminářů o komplikacích pořádaných na chirurgickém oddělení a výsledky mikrobiologických vyšetření. VÝSLEDKY: Byl zhodnocen soubor nozokomiálních infekcí za roky 2003-2007 s důrazem na osobní odpovědnost zdravotnických pracovníků podílejících se na léčebném a ošetřovatelském postupu. Podrobněji jsou rozebrány dvě nejčastější skupiny nozokomiálních nákaz - infekce ranné a infekce krevního řečiště. ZÁVĚR: Existence nozokomiálních nákaz je s největší pravděpodobností nevyhnutelná. Nicméně vznik a rozvoj nozokomiálních nákaz může zmařit předchozí úspěšnou léčbu. Prevence a správná ošetřovatelská technika je po všech stránkách výhodnější než následná léčba. Osobní odpovědnost každého zúčastněného zdravotnického pracovníka lze shrnout do apelu, že „asepse je věc svědomí a profesionality“ [3, 1]).
INTRODUCTION: The objective is to point out possibilities of prevention of nosocomial infects in Department of Surgery of a small hospital providing also larger care for trauma patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The evaluation was based on reported nosocomial infects, on conclusions of weekly workshops of the Dept. of Surgery aimed at treatment complications and on results of microbiological examinations. RESULTS: The group of patients with a nosocomial infect in the period of 2003-2007 was evaluated, with emphasis on personal responsibility of health workers shared in medical and nursing treatment. Two most frequent groups of nosocomial infects are analysed in detail – the early infects and the infects of bloodstream. CONCLUSION: The existence of nosocomial infects is probably unavoidable. Their occurrence and development can however upset the present successful treatment. The prevention and the right nursing technique are preferable in all respects than the following treatment of such infects. The personal responsibility of all staff members can be summarised to the challenge: „The asepsis is the point of conscience and professionalism“ [3, 1].
