[Recognizing colorectal cancer, education of patients and preparing them for the stomal therapy]

TUSÓCZKI Evelin, NÉMETH Anikó

[Aim of the research: The study investigated the circumstances of the diagnosis of the disorder. The assessment of information given to patients, communication of the staff and the preparation for the stomal therapy was also part of the study. Research and sampling methods: A self-constructed questionnaire was administered during October and December of 2015. The inventory was uploaded to self-help sites for colorectal cancer patients and questionnaires were also handed out on surgical wards (N=114). Data were analysed with SPSS 22.0. Chi square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied (p<0.05). Results: Colorectal cancer screening has never been attended by 81.6% of the responders. Constipation was a more frequent warning sign by women (p=0.045). The patients who received guidance from both doctors and nurses about oncology treatment were more satisfied with the information compared to those who only communicated with one person (p<0.001). The patients who could contact a stomal therapy nurse on-demand were able to handle their stomas autonomously (p=0.035). Conclusions: Information provided by more staff members help to dissolve anxiety. Contacting stomal therapy nurses on-demand should be preferred. ]

Research and sampling methods: A retrospective, partly longitudinal research, following surgery document analysis (n = 61) and we made a processing of the individually structured questionnaire with standard elements. We used 15D to measure the quality of life and MFSQ standard questionnaire to measure the sexuality (n=44). We calculated relative and absolute frequency, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, χ2- test, correlation and one way analysis of variance (p<0,05) with the help of the SPSS 22. program. Results: 73.8% of the patients had at least 3 organ with endometriosis involvement and 82,5% were removed by laparoscopic surgery. The length of stay showed an upward turn tendency in the context of the complications (p <0.001). The sample vitality and sexual relations 40,9% were characterized by no complaint and between sexual partners and satisfaction (r = 0.442, p = 0.003) and between orgasm and sexual partners (r = 0.518, p = <0.001) medium correlation were detected.

[Thinking about the nursing competences]

ADORJÁNNÉ ZDENKÓ Erzsébet

[Nursing is a complex profession consisting of several vocational skills such as empathy, theoretical, clinical, ethical, and communication skills. Beside these, technical knowledge is also essential for a nurse. The conventional methods of knowledge transfer are less and less able to meet the changed requests of the labor market. As a result of that nurse education has adapted to these changes, therefore the aim of the recent education system is to bring the acquisition of skills and competencies into prominence by using simulations as a helpful teaching strategy. Although for nurses working bedside at present improving their adequate technical skills still needs to be solved. The author wants to draw attention to the importance of maintaining and improving the acquired nursing competences, and that unregulated nursing competences are also important to be revised.]

[Risk factors for naevus pigmentosus]

ZITÁS Éva, MÉSZÁROS Judit

[Naevi are the most frequent disorders of the skin, which usually do not cause a problem. It can occur though, that some of them develop into a malign tumour, called melanoma malignum. This process, called malignisation, has perceivable introductory symptoms; and if they are detected in time and the affected birthmark is removed expertly, it can save the patient’s life. The article describes these symptoms and provides guidelines to the removal of birthmarks.]
