Aim: Dysphagia is a common and potentially serious problem in patients with neurological conditions. In many countries, dysphagia screening is used, which contributes to better patient outcomes. In Greece, the implementation of dysphagia screening has not yet been described. The aim was to examine the effectiveness of an educational session delivered to Greek masters-level nursing students and their faculty on the correct use of an 8-item nursing dysphagia screening instrument developed in the Czech Republic. Methods: Fifteen students and nursing faculty members of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens were enrolled in this descriptive pilot study. They were educated on dysphagia in a session consisting of a theoretical and practical part and a discussion. The participants were asked to indicate their clinical experience with dysphagia and their opinion on the importance of nurses’ involvement in dysphagia assessment. Their knowledge of the screening procedure and interpretation and documentation of the result was tested using a hypothetical patient case. Results: In this study, 4 (27%) participants had prior experience with patients with dysphagia. All of them thought that nurses’ involvement in dysphagia assessment was very important. Slightly more than half of the participants identified, interpreted, and documented all of the 8 item results correctly. Conclusion: The participants were motivated to learn, however, complete mastery of the assessment technique was not achieved. The learning experience was affected by several issues that were unique to Greece, and the participants’ efforts focused on understanding how the new knowledge and skills could affect their daily practice. Direct ongoing support in the clinical setting could be beneficial.

Profiles of health and well-being give an overview of a country’s health status, describing data on mortality, morbidity and exposure to key risk factors together with trends over time. They are developed in collaboration with WHO European Member States. When possible, each report also compares a country to a reference group, which is in this report the whole WHO European Region and the European Union member countries prior to 1 May 2004. To make the comparisons as valid as possible, data are as a rule taken from one source to ensure that they have been harmonized in a reasonably consistent way. The data in the report are drawn from the European Health for All (HFA) database of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The HFA data are collected from Member States on an annual basis and include metadata that specify the original source of data for specific indicators.

Greece: assessing health-system capacity to manage sudden large influxes of migrants : joint report on a mission of the Ministry of Health of Greece, Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention and WHO Regional Office for Europe

Copenhagen : World Health Organization, 2015

19 stran

Further to the arrival of large influxes of migrants at Greece's land and sea borders, the Greek Government invited the WHO Regional Office for Europe to organize a joint mission between 15 and 19 December 2014 to assess health system capacity to manage large influxes of migrants. The mission aims were threefold: to assess the ongoing pre- paredness and response activities of the local health system; to plan ad hoc technical assistance if required; and to pilot the draft WHO toolkit for assessing health system capacity to manage large influxes of migrants in the acute phase. The members of the assessment team undertook site visits at first reception centres and pre-departure facil- ities, and conducted interviews with all key stakeholders. From their findings, their main recommendations include improvements in living conditions in migrant centres, the preparation of a national multisectoral contingency plan, a harmonized health data collection system and a strengthened migrant immunization policy.
