    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Şişman, Nuriye Yildirim
    Introduction: Schools contribute to the development of moral values and professional ethics by helping students achieve cognitive and emotional goals with methods that are not included in the school curriculum. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the ethical and social values of the senior class of nursing undergraduate students and to demonstrate the association between them. Method: This study was carried out on the 4th year undergraduate students in the Department of Nursing of the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences in Düzce in Turkey. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 160 nursing undergraduate students were selected as the sample. Data were collected between October and December 2017 using a socio-demographic characteristics form as well as a “Predisposition to Ethical Values Scale” and a “Multidimensional Social Values Scale”. Results: The total score average of the nursing studentsʼ ethical values and the multidimensional social values was 68.56 ± 9.75 and 163.46 ± 15.97, respectively. There was a moderate positive statistical significant relationship between predisposition to ethical values and multidimensional social values (p < 0.01, r: 0.502). Conclusion: The total scores and the subscale mean scores of the nursing students for the scales of “predisposition to ethical values” and “multidimensional social values” were found to be high. There was a moderate positive association between predisposition to ethical values and multidimensional social values. These results show that social and ethical values play an important role in the professional decision-making and behaviour of nursing students.

    Evaluation of Nutrition Education during Pregnancy and Nutritional Knowledge of Pregnant Women
    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Ülger, Taha Gökmen; Akçalı, Çağlar; Yardımcı, Hülya
    Introduction: Healthy diet during pregnancy plays a key role for the unborn baby and the mother. According to many studies pregnant women are unable to meet their nutritional needs and they have unhealthy nutritional habits. The pregnancy process can be concluded more healthily in terms of the mother and baby by providing nutrition education to the pregnant women. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the necessity of prenatal nutrition training by measuring the level of nutritional knowledge in pregnant women. Method: In order to measure the level of nutrition knowledge in pregnancy, 20 questions were asked to 100 pregnant women. Nutritional knowledge score was described as “good” for those who gave the right answer to 16 or more statements, “average” for those who gave the right answer to 11–15 statements, and “inadequate” for those who gave the right answer to 10 or fewer statements. The results were evaluated at a significance level of p < 0.05 in the 95% confidence interval. Results: It was found that 26.0% of all the pregnant women had a “good” (16.4 ± 1.6), 46% of them had “average” (12.6 ± 1.9) and 28.0% had “inadequate” (8.5 ± 1.4) nutritional knowledge score. There was no statistically significant difference between average nutritional knowledge scores of those who received nutrition education (12.2 ± 3.1) and did not receive this training (12.3 ± 3.5) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition education should be given to all pregnant women and this education should be made more qualified.

    Employees’ Satisfaction with Education and Professional Development in a Selected Acute Care Hospital
    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Špačková, Iva; Holá, Jana
    Introduction: The rapid development of medicine forces healthcare staff to keep up with new trends in health care. The nature of their work necessarily requires lifelong learning. It is a task of hospital management to promote lifelong learning and create enough opportunities for it. Only such a work environment that is favourable to further education and professional development could increase job satisfaction, staff stability and improve the quality of healthcare provided. Aim: The aim of this paper is to show the importance of lifelong learning for employees of a selected acute care hospital, their satisfaction with the conditions of education and the opportunities for education provided to them by their employer. Method: The data were collected within a satisfaction survey in a selected acute care hospital. The anonymous online questionnaires were used in this survey. Spearmanʼs correlation coefficient, contingency tables and Chi-square test were used for detailed analysis. Results: For 82% of hospital staff, lifelong learning is necessary to their work, and for 74% of them, it is very beneficial. However, only 55% of them agree that they have enough education opportunities and only 48% claim that their superior regularly talks to them about their professional development. Physicians show greater interest in lifelong learning and consider it more beneficial for their work than other professional groups of employees. Conclusion: Lifelong learning is important and beneficial to hospital employees, but they are not satisfied with enough opportunities for education and with hospital management support. This fact negatively affects the assessment of education and professional development by hospital staff.

    Medical Documentation in the Care for a Minority Group Member
    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Škorničková, Zuzana; Moravcová, Markéta
    Introduction: Nursing documentation is part of the patient’s medical documentation. It allows documenting the nursing care provided and at the same time gives much important information that healthcare professionals need to share among themselves. Aim: The aim of the research survey was to develop a draft of nursing documentation for patients from minority groups based on established specificities that may affect the care provided to members of minority groups. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to determine the specifics of the selected minority groups. Questions for the semi-structured interview were compiled according to Larry D. Purnell’s Model of Cultural Competence. The areas that appeared most “problematic” in providing nursing care to patients – members of minority groups in healthcare facilities in the Czech Republic were identified based on open coding. In addition, a draft of nursing documentation was created based upon the results of interviews and using the Model of Cultural Competences as one of the inputs. Results: The following categories were included in the above-mentioned nursing documentation: communication, family, abuse, nutrition, spirituality, health care practices, care providers, pregnancy. Conclusion: The draft nursing documentation is such a tool that can be used for a quick and clear mapping and recording of the specifics in the various areas under consideration. The final form of nursing documentation for clients from minority groups in population is currently being reviewed for user-friendliness.

    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Molnárová Letovancová, Katarína; Dobríková, Patricia; Slaná, Miriam; Hromková, Michaela
    Introduction: When a child with disability, especially with cerebral palsy, is born into a family, there is a significant burden on the parents that directly impacts their quality of life. We believe the quality of life of a family with a child with cerebral palsy deserves research attention. Aim: Therefore, in 2018 we carried out research aimed at examining the quality of life in parents of children with cerebral palsy. Method: The research used a validated tool of a quantitative research strategy – a standardized QOL questionnaire, Family Quality of Life Scale – known as “FQOL”. The research sample consisted of parents with children with cerebral palsy. The total size of the sample was 98 respondents, 12 fathers (12.2%) and 86 mothers (87.8%). Results: Average score by the respondents reached 94.0918 points, indicating higher quality of life in respondents than presumed. Further investigation revealed lower quality of life of respondents in five statements (items 3, 9, 13, 15). The research further examined statistically significant differences in quality of life in respondents depending on the researched socio-demographic indicators. Age-related statistically significant differences in quality of life were confirmed for the researched categories (t = -2.341, p = 0.021), family status (F = 3.476, p = 0.019) and region (χ2 = 15.39, p =0 .031). Statistically significant correlation was identified between quality of life in respondents and the age of their child with cerebral palsy (0.288, p = 0.004). Conclusion: In spite of a relatively high score pointing at a higher level of experienced quality of life of the respondents, the research pointed to two areas of life where the parents of children with cerebral palsy experienced a lower level of quality of life, area of support and leisure-time activities of the parents.

    Being a Nurse in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Study
    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Sener, Dilek Konuk
    Introduction: Pediatric Intensive Care Units are the units that provide a 24-hour uninterrupted service for the care and treatment of children at the age of 1 month to 18 years. Specialized, educated and experienced Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses have a significant role in maintaining lives of the children and achievement of the best results in their treatment. It has been reported that Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses constitute one of the most risky working groups due to a stressful working environment as well as their intense working rhythm. Aim: This study was performed to determine working conditions, professional motivation, feelings and thoughts of nurses working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at a university hospital in Turkey. Method: The study was a descriptive study using qualitative methods. A total of six nurses working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit constituted the study group. Data were obtained using a demographic information form and a semi-structured qualitative interview form. Results: Two main themes emerged at the end of the study. These themes were classified as feelings and thoughts of the nurses and their working conditions. Conclusion: In the study, nurses stated that they were happy to work in intensive care since they loved children so much, and they experienced stress since their treatments were more complex and their clinical course changed very quickly. Besides, it was determined that weekly working hours were longer and working conditions were very intense due to insufficient number of nurses and their motivation was low due to the adverse physical conditions.

    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Karaca, Aysel
    Aim: The study aimed to determine infertile women’s automatic negative thoughts and their strategies for coping with them. Method: This descriptive study used qualitative methods. The study was conducted on 15 women who were referred to the infertility polyclinic of a university hospital and who had been diagnosed with primary infertility. Data were collected via a socio-demographic information form and a semistructured focus group interview (FGI) form and were analysed using the content analysis method. Results: Three main themes were determined in the study: automatic negative thoughts, situations triggering negative thoughts, and coping with those negative thoughts. The situations that triggered negative thoughts were found to include social environments that reminded the women of babies, news of a pregnancy, loneliness, and menstrual periods. The participants chose avoidance, crying, and carrying out religious practices to cope with their negative thoughts. Conclusion: The infertile women in the study often had automatic negative thoughts due to the problems caused by infertility. Infertility consultant nurses should evaluate the negative thoughts and depressive moods of infertile women. Cognitive, behavioral, individual, and group therapies are recommended to solve the psychosocial problems caused by infertility.

    Activation of Seniors in Residential Care Facility
    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Faltová, Barbora; Čermák, Zdeněk; Měsíčková, Kateřina
    Introduction: It has become a common practice to place elderly people in residential care facilities, providing a relatively good standard of living, but seniors often experience isolation from their families and wider social environment. An elderly person may thus feel lonely and useless. Leisure time activation reduces the negative effects of ageing, gives a greater sense of satisfaction and helps the clients eliminate their possible social isolation. Aim: To find out how a selected senior care home applies activation approaches when working with their clients. Method: Quantitative method was selected for the survey, utilizing a self-designed questionnaire as the research survey tool. The survey took place from early December 2016 to late January 2017. Descriptive statistics was used for evaluating the data. Results: The care facility of interest applies activation approaches to achieve their clients’ satisfaction. A prevailing portion of the clients is not bored in the facility and regularly participates in activation work. Seniors mostly dedicate themselves to fitness training, memory training and musical activities. They prefer group activities. The respondents see minor weaknesses in the limited range of offered activities, which could be extended to cooking, baking and animal therapy. Conclusion: Although respondents have slight reservations to the practice of activation programs at the residential care facility, they are largely satisfied. All respondents are aware of the support provided by the staff. Involving volunteers might help extend and improve the range of activation programs, or integrating seniors into the community life.

    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Bayram, Sule Biyik; Caliskan, Nurcan
    Introduction: Game-based virtual reality application is a simulation method in which a real life situation is gamified after being transferred to a computer environment. Aim: The aim of this study is to find out the opinions of nursing students who used the game-based virtual reality application for tracheostomy care. Method: The study consisted of 43 students that were enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course in the spring term of the 2016–2017 academic year. First of all, a video file was made according to the steps of tracheostomy care and a scenario for the game-based virtual reality application was written. The game was installed on the mobile phones of students who participated in the theoretical course of tracheostomy care, completed the practice and agreed to participate in the study. Students were instructed on how to play the game and were told to play the game for a week. At the end of the week, students were told to share their opinions on the game. Numbers, percentages, means and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistical methods while evaluating the data. Results: The three positive statements about the use of the application were that “the information in the application was legible” (4.37 ± 0.78), “the game could be completed without any problems”, (4.86 ± 0.63), and “the steps of the process were able to be carried out” (4.72 ± 0.70). Conclusion: It is proposed that the game-based virtual reality application can be used for the teaching of tracheostomy care, which requires the implementation of the principles of surgical asepsis, it is complex, hard to visualize and to be learned by students and less likely to be encountered in clinics, in nursing education.

    (University of Pardubice, 2018) Dilek, Avci; Kevser, Tari Selcuk; Emre, Ciydem; Gonul, Yilmaz Dundar
    Introduction: Psychiatric problems accompanying cardiac problems are noteworthy risk factors as regards cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aim: This study aimed to determine the anger level and anger expression style in patients with cardiovascular disease, and the association of anger level with anxiety and depression levels. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 254 patients with cardiovascular disease. Study data were collected with the Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test and Spearman correlation were used for the analysis. Results: The mean scores the patients obtained from the trait anger, anger-in, anger-out and angercontrol subscales were 24.28 ± 6.39, 18.37 ± 3.74, 16.78 ± 4.78, 18.65 ± 5.66 respectively. Trait anger level had a strong positive correlation with anxiety and depression levels. Anger-in level had a weak positive correlation with anxiety and depression levels. Anger-out level had a moderate positive correlation with anxiety and depression levels. On the other hand, anger-control level had a moderate negative correlation with anxiety level and a strong negative correlation with depression level. Conclusion: The participants’ anxiety and depression levels increased as their trait anger, anger-in and anger-out levels increased and their anger-control levels decreased. Therefore, in order to reduce anger levels of patients with cardiovascular disease, psychosocial interventions addressing anger control should be planned, and a multidisciplinary approach should be applied.
