Inventář sociální tělesné úzkosti (SPAS – social physique anxiety scale) byl původně v ČR validizován na vzorku sportujících studentů (viz. Harbichová, 2009). Motl a Conroy (2001) však upozorňují na potřebu evaluace faktorové struktury SPAS u skupin s různou úrovní tělesné kondice i frekvence vykonávání pohybových aktivit. I proto bylo cílem této studie testování invariance faktorové struktury u dvou různých skupin studentů (studenti FF UK v Praze, N=96 a studenti FTVS UK v Praze, N=110). Výsledky více-skupinové faktorové analýzy poukazují na invarianci faktorové struktury, faktorových zátěží, jedinečností i rozptylů faktorů v případě unidimenzionálního modelu 8 položkové české verze SPAS. Kauzální model potvrdil očekávané rozdíly v sociální tělesné úzkosti mezi muži a ženami. Modifikovanou 8 položkovou verzi SPAS lze tedy doporučit k využití ve výzkumu sociální tělesné úzkosti v českém prostředí.
The translated Czech version of Social physique anxiety scale (SPAS) was originally validated in a sample of university students participating in variety of sports (viz. Harbichová, 2009). According to Motl and Conroy (2001) however, the structure of SPAS should be evaluated across samples of individuals differing in physical fitness and activity levels. In this study we examined the factorial invariance of SPAS across two samples of university students differing in frequency of participating in physical activities. Using structural equation modeling (confirmatory factor analysis) we identified invariance of factor structure, factor loadings, item uniquenesses and factor variance across both samples. Causal model with latent variable was used to indicate that women had higher latent mean score on the 8-item SPAS than men. We can recommend the 8-item SPAS to be used in studies of social physique anxiety in Czech population.

Článek prezentuje vztahy mezi místem kontroly (locus of control) a vybranými rizikovými aktivitami, které realizují čeští adolescenti. Ve výzkumném projektu bylo využito několik psychodiagnostických metod na měření místa kontroly: Škála místa kontroly Zemanová, Dolejš (SMKZD), Škála interního a externího místa kontroly - 4 (IE-4, Die Skala Internale-Externale-Kontrollüberzeugung-4), Krátká škála pro posouzení orientace locus of control v průzkumech populace (KMKB, Kurzskalen zur Messung von Kontrollüberzeugungen in Bevölkerungsumfragen), Škála interního-externího místa kontroly (CNSIE, Children's Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External control scale) a pro měření rizikových aktivit byla administrována škála Výskyt rizikového chování u adolescentů (VRCHA). Do projektu bylo zapojeno 2 435 chlapců a dívek ve věku 11-16 let, kteří docházejí na druhý stupeň základních škol a víceletých gymnázií. Adolescenti, kteří mají externí místo kontroly, přisuzují kauzálnost následných událostí osudu, štěstí či moci jiných lidí, ne svému chování. Výsledky přinášejí informace, že vztahy mezi místem kontroly a rizikovým chováním nejsou nějak výrazně významné. Jedinci s externím místem kontroly se chovají o něco rizikověji než jedinci s interním místem kontroly. Externalisté realizují více a častěji aktivity, které jsou nebezpečné z různých hledisek (zdravotní, psychické, sociální a další). Vzájemná korelace mezi celkovým skórem VRCHA a SMKZD je 0,25, IE-4 je 0,24, KMKB je 0,12 a mezi CNSIE je 0,30.
The article presents relations between the locus of control and the selected risk activities carried out by Czech adolescents. The research project used several psychodiagnostic methods to measure the locus of control: Locus of Control Scale Zemanová & Dolejš (SMKZD), Scale for the Assessment of Internal and External Control Beliefs (IE-4), Short Scale for the Assessment of Locus of Control (KMKB), Children's Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External control scale (CNSIE) and for the measurement of risk activities we used the scale The Scale of Risk Behaviour in Adolescents (VRCHA). The project involved 2435 boys and girls aged 11-16, attending secondary schools and multi-year grammar schools. Adolescents who have an external locus of control attribute the causality of subsequent events to the fate or to happiness or to the power of other people, not to their behaviour. The results show that the relationship between locus of control and risk behaviour is not significant. Individuals with an external locus of control, perform a little bit more often the risk activities that are dangerous in various aspects (health, mental, social, etc.). The correlation between the total score of VRCHA and SMKZD is 0.25, IE-4 is 0.24, KMKB is 0.12 and between CNSIE is 0.30.
Cieľ: Cieľom príspevku je prezentovať mieru pracovnej spokojnosti sestier v ústavných zariadeniach na Slovensku, vzťahujúcu sa k vybraným charakteristikám sestier (dĺžka odbornej praxe, súčasné pracovné zaradenie). Design: Prierezová štúdia. Metodika: Výskumnú vzorku tvorilo 206 sestier pracujúcich v ústavných zdravotníckych zariadeniach na Slovenku vo veku od 23 rokov do 63 rokov. Pracovnú spokojnosť sestier sme v našom výskume zisťovali pomocou štandardizovaného dotazníka McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale. Výskum bol realizovaný v zdravotníckych zariadeniach na Slovensku od decembra 2014 do januára 2015. Respondenti na otázky dotazníka, ktorý bol zverejnený na internetovej stránke SKSaPA odpovedali on-line. Signifikantnú interakciu dvoch kvalitatívnych premenných sme zisťovali pomocou testov Mann-Whitney, s testovacou štatistikou ZAdj, Kruskal-Wallis, s testovacou štatistikou H a korelačnou analýzou so Spearmannovým korelačným koeficientom r(S. Výsledky: Štatistickým spracovaním smene zistili štatistický významný vzťah medzi celkovou spokojnosťou a dĺžkou celkovej odbornej praxe (p = 0,907) a tiež medzi celkovou spokojnosť sestier a súčasným pracovným zaradením (p = 0,091). Zistili sme signifikantné korelácie medzi súčasným pracovným zaradením v zdravotníckom zariadení a troma podškálami: spokojnosť s plánovaním/harmonogramom práce (p = 0,030), spokojnosť s možnosťami profesionálneho rastu (p = 0,026), spokojnosť s kontrolou a zodpovednosťou (p = 0,020). Celkové skóre spokojnosti dosiahlo hodnotu = 2,94. Najvyššie priemerné skóre bolo dosiahnuté v subškále Spokojnosť so spolupracovníkmi ( = 3,52) a najnižšie priemerné skóre v subškále Spokojnosť s kontrolou a zodpovednosťou ( = 2,73). Záver: Výsledky výskumu poukazujú na potrebu skúmania pracovnej spokojnosti sestier so zameraním na identifikáciu faktorov determinujúcich tento multidimenzionálny fenomén.
Aim: The objective of this contribution was to present nurses ́ job satisfaction in Slovak institutional facilities related to selected characteristics of nurses (e.g. length of professional experience, current job title, etc). Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The research sample was composed of 206 nurses working in institutional healthcare facilities in Slovakia between the ages of 23 to 63. Nurses ́ job satisfaction was surveyed using the standardized form of the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale. The research was realized in Slovak healthcare facilities between December 2014 to January 2015. The respondents replied on-line to a questionnaire that was published on the SKSaPA website. Significant interaction of two qualitative variables was evaluated using Mann-Whitney test with ZAdj statistics, Kruskal-Wallis with H test statistics and correlation analysis with Spearmann correlation coefficient r(S). Results: The statistical processing found a statistically significant correlation between general satisfaction and total length of professional experience (p = 0.907) and also between nurses ́ general satisfaction and current job title (p = 0.091). We found significant correlations between current job title in a healthcare facility and the three sub-scales: satisfaction with scheduling (p = 0.030); satisfaction with professional opportunities (p = 0.026); and satisfaction with control and responsibility (p = 0.020). The overall satisfaction score was = 2.94. The highest mean was achieved in the sub-scale Satisfaction with co-workers ( = 3.52) and the lowest mean in the sub-scale Satisfaction with control and responsibility ( = 2.73). Conclusion: The results of this research demonstrate the need to investigate nurses ́ job satisfaction with a focus on the identification of factors determining this multi-faceted phenomenon.
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases are highly prevalent and represent leading causes of morbidity worldwide, including in Central Europe. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an effective method of secondary prevention, but utilization is low. Barriers to CR use in the Czech Republic are not well-characterized, and therefore we propose a protocol to translate and validate the cardiac rehabilitation barriers scale (CRBS). METHODS: In this multi-method study, we translated and cross-culturally validated the CRBS to Czech (CRBS-CZE) first through the following main steps: professional translation, reconciliation/harmonization, and cross-cultural adaptation, and piloting in 50 cardiac patients. A prospective study will be undertaken to psychometrically-validate the CRBS-CZE, where 300 to 600 cardiac inpatients eligible for phase II/outpatient CR will be recruited. Consenting participants will be informed about the CR program and their sociodemographic, clinical characteristics, and the CRBS-CZE administered. Factor analysis will be performed with oblique rotation, factors will be extracted based on eigenvalues, the examination of the scree plot, and factor loadings. The internal reliability of the total scale and subscales will be assessed with Cronbach alpha. Overall CRBS scores will be compared by patient characteristics such as sex, socioeconomic indicators, risk factor burden, and travel time to investigate content validity. Their CR enrollment, adherence (% of 24 prescribed sessions attended), and completion will be tracked. The second administration of CRBS-CZE will be undertaken in patients at 3 weeks after enrollment. To test criterion validity, t tests and Pearson correlation (for adherence) will be used to determine the association of these utilization indicators with CRBS scores. RESULTS: The translated version was considered by 2 bilingual CR experts. Some revisions and example additions were made to the items. Upon piloting with patients, some further edits were made. No additional barriers were raised. DISCUSSION: Through this study, a reliable and valid means of assessing patient's CR barriers will be established. Results will be used to identify ways to help patients overcome barriers to CR utilization.

The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of their final clinical learning environment and its association with their self-assessed competence, satisfaction with nursing education, and turnover intentions at graduation in six European countries. A multi-country comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with nursing students (n = 1746) from the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain using the Nurse Competence Scale and the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision scale. Nursing students' overall perceptions of their final clinical learning environment and supervision were positive in all the countries studied. The correlation between the students' perceptions of their final clinical learning environment and competence was statistically significant and positive. Satisfaction with the nursing program and clinical practicum and no consideration of career change were related to positive perceptions of the final clinical learning environment. Highlighting the importance of the supervisory relationship and pedagogical atmosphere, nursing students' positive perceptions of the final clinical learning environment and supervision contribute to a better level of self-assessed competence and satisfaction with the nursing program and clinical practicum, leading to lower turnover intentions.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand how healthcare practitioners experience organisational boundaries and silos in day-to-day operations. Based on a multi-dimensional scale of organisational boundaries, the study examines how organisational demarcation lines enable and constrain daily work tasks in the healthcare sector.Research design: The study is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of survey responses from 895 healthcare practitioners in Denmark.Results: The results indicate that tendencies toward organisational silos relate to systems and hierarchies (management-staff) rather than professions and departments. Moreover, the study identifies resource scarcity as an important undercurrent in the understanding of the respondents' perceptions of boundaries and silos.Conclusion: The study contributes to existing research by documenting the coordination and collaboration challenges linked to the multitude of demarcation lines in complex health organisations.

BACKGROUND: Rheumatic diseases in children are associated with significant morbidity and poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). There is no health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scale available specifically for children with less common rheumatic diseases. These diseases share several features with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) such as their chronic episodic nature, multi-systemic involvement, and the need for immunosuppressive medications. HRQOL scale developed for pediatric SLE will likely be applicable to children with systemic inflammatory diseases. FINDINGS: We adapted Simple Measure of Impact of Lupus Erythematosus in Youngsters (SMILEY©) to Simple Measure of Impact of Illness in Youngsters (SMILY©-Illness) and had it reviewed by pediatric rheumatologists for its appropriateness and cultural suitability. We tested SMILY©-Illness in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases and then translated it into 28 languages. Nineteen children (79% female, n=15) and 17 parents participated. The mean age was 12±4 years, with median disease duration of 21 months (1-172 months). We translated SMILY©-Illness into the following 28 languages: Danish, Dutch, French (France), English (UK), German (Germany), German (Austria), German (Switzerland), Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Slovene, Spanish (USA and Puerto Rico), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Argentina), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Venezuela), Turkish, Afrikaans, Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Arabic (Egypt), Czech, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Romanian, Serbian and Xhosa. CONCLUSION: SMILY©-Illness is a brief, easy to administer and score HRQOL scale for children with systemic rheumatic diseases. It is suitable for use across different age groups and literacy levels. SMILY©-Illness with its available translations may be used as useful adjuncts to clinical practice and research.

BACKGROUND: Validity of responses in surveys is an important research concern, especially in emerging market economies where surveys in the general population are a novelty, and the level of social control is traditionally higher. The Randomized Response Technique (RRT) can be used as a check on response validity when the study aim is to estimate population prevalence of drug experiences and other socially sensitive and/or illegal behaviors. AIM: To apply RRT and to study potential under-reporting of drug use in a nation-scale, population-based general population survey of alcohol and other drug use. METHODS: For this first-ever household survey on addictive substances for the Country of Georgia, we used the multi-stage probability sampling of 18-to-64-year-old household residents of 111 urban and 49 rural areas. During the interviewer-administered assessments, RRT involved pairing of sensitive and non-sensitive questions about drug experiences. RESULTS: Based upon the standard household self-report survey estimate, an estimated 17.3% [95% confidence interval, CI: 15.5%, 19.1%] of Georgian household residents have tried cannabis. The corresponding RRT estimate was 29.9% [95% CI: 24.9%, 34.9%]. The RRT estimates for other drugs such as heroin also were larger than the standard self-report estimates. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: We remain unsure about what is the "true" value for prevalence of using illegal psychotropic drugs in the Republic of Georgia study population. Our RRT results suggest that standard non-RRT approaches might produce 'under-estimates' or at best, highly conservative, lower-end estimates.

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely used measure of a core facet of the positive body image construct. However, extant research concerning measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across a large number of nations remains limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset - with data collected between 2020 and 2022 - to assess measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that full scalar invariance was upheld across all nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups, suggesting that the unidimensional BAS-2 model has widespread applicability. There were large differences across nations and languages in latent body appreciation, while differences across gender identities and age groups were negligible-to-small. Additionally, greater body appreciation was significantly associated with higher life satisfaction, being single (versus being married or in a committed relationship), and greater rurality (versus urbanicity). Across a subset of nations where nation-level data were available, greater body appreciation was also significantly associated with greater cultural distance from the United States and greater relative income inequality. These findings suggest that the BAS-2 likely captures a near-universal conceptualisation of the body appreciation construct, which should facilitate further cross-cultural research.
