[The history of nursing in Hungary has an aspect that has often been addressed but never looked into to the required depth and detail. This aspect concerns the regulation by law of certain specific relations between medicine and nursing from the mid-twentieth century to date. This issue has now come to the fore due partly to amendments to the legal framework and partly to changes in nursing education. ]
[According to the literature, the practice of postoperative pain relief in Hungary is an area to be developed. Postoperative pain is a key issue for patients. Surveys show that more than 59% of patients are worried about postoperative pain. Their concerns are not baseless, as recent studies have consistently shown that pain has not been properly treated after surgery. It has also been shown that postoperative pain can lead to a deterioration in the quality of life of patients. The aim of our study was to assess the degree of postoperative pain in patients and their satisfaction with pain relief. We conducted interviews based on personal inquiries with a total of 168 patients, with the involvement of certain surgical departments of three Hungarian institutions. Based on our results, we found that patients report remarkable pain after surgery, so the practice of postoperative pain relief is in many cases unsatisfactory. Comparing the results and the international literature, postoperative analgesic practice can be considered as an area to be developed. ]
[The Surviving Sepsis Guideline (SSG) is a document that proposed new solutions in the diagnostics and treatment of sepsis. The methods identified were the 100% oxygen therapy, fluid resuscitation, blood culture and microbiological analysis, empiric combination antibiotic therapy, lactate monitoring, comparison of PCT and CRP, and surgical opening. Using the above mentioned methods has proven to improve the quality of sepsis treatment and the safety of patients. Sepsis -6 protocol has been highlighted by the authors as a process that is easy to implement in terms of cost while remaining highly beneficial. This recommendation should also be well known for nurses that do not work in emergency units. This will help recognise sepsis at an early stage, and provide guideline in the analytical examination and the possibilities within the competence. ]
Introduction: The nurse education in the Czech Republic is based on the recommendations of the European Union, respecting the outcoming knowledge and skills of general nurses, formulated in basic competence criteria. Cardiovascular diseases rank among the main causes of death not only in many developed countries, but also in developing countries. Accent should be put on prevention of these diseases and the nurses should provide for efficient education. Goals and methods: The goal of the article consists in presenting the results of the analysis of the available sources focused on nurse education and the resulting competences in the field of cardiology, as well as in describing the system of health-educational activities of nurses in preventive cardiology in selected EU countries. The methods of research and structured interview were used. Results: The nurse‘s task in prevention of cardiovascular diseases consists in educating the public on influenceable risk factors which have significant impact on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, but also on people‘s quality of life. It is important to alert the people to changes in their own risk behaviours and to motivate them to activities leading to improved life style. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the nurses in preventive cardiology make use of the competences acquired through pregradual studies. However, the current practice requires increasing competences within postgradual education.
