[From Dietary Nurse to a Certified Dietition Specialist Degree – Chapters from the History of Dietetic Training ]

TÁTRAI-NÉMETH Katalin, DOBÁK Zita, VERESNÉ BÁLINT Márta

[Last year we celebrated the beginning of the dietary nurse education, which began in 1922 under the leadership of Professor Aladár Soós (1890–1967) at the Faculty of Medicine of Pázmány Péter University. The concept of „dietary” was only known in the United States at that time, so training was the first in Europe.]

[The Importance of Oral Prevention and Dental Treatments during Pregnancy]

MOLNÁR Petra, LÁZÁR Jázmin, NÉMETH Anikó

[In addition to the joyful nature of pregnancy, this condition uses a great drain to the organization of women, and the oral cavity and teeth are no exceptions. Neglected teething poses several dangers not only to the mother, but to the embryo as well. The mother may develop bleeding gums, inflammation, tooth decay among other problems, and in the foetus may have dental malformations, infection, premature birth or even miscarriage. Researches have shown that pregnant women who are more often attended to dental screening brought a newborn baby into the world with higher weight and the chances of the perinatal complications were on a lower level than those women who were rarely or not tested at all. For this reason, it is an important issue to acutely look after the dental check during pregnancy, not only in dental care but all levels of health care and by almost all professionals with whom the pregnant one meets during that nine months.]

[The Role of Nurses in the Prevention, Early Recognition and Treatment of Nosocomial Sepsis]

BAJNÓCZI Judit

[The aim of my research was to assess the knowledge of nurses on the subject of sepsis.

I conducted my research among nurses working in Hungary through an online questionnaire. The respondents were required to answer 31 electronic questions, covering the topics of prevention, recognition, and treatment. A total of 121 respondents participated in the study (N=121). The obtained results were analyzed using statistical methods to describe them.

Based on the answers to the questions on prevention, recognition, and treatment, it was evident that the respondents’ knowledge on the subject was inadequate. Only 12% of the respondents were able to correctly distinguish between the conditions of SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. The depth of knowledge was not influenced by work experience or workplace profile.

The results indicated that the nurses who filled out the questionnaire do not always follow professional protocols and, in some cases, have incomplete knowledge on the subject. Based on the research findings, I formulated recommendations, mainly focusing on the necessity of further education for nurses and the utilization of modern technology to promote prevention, recognition, and treatment.]

[The Possibilities of complex measuring of the Nursing Workload and Intensity Part of the Hungarian Electronic Nursing Record’s Developement]

OLÁH András , ZRÍNYI Miklós, FULLÉR Noémi, BALOGH Zoltán, KÁDÁR Magdolna, KIS Tünde, SZEBENI-KOVÁCS Gyula

[The integration of the Hungarian Electronic Nursing Record (ENR) is currently ongoing, its aims are to improve patients’ safety and the broader record of the everyday nursing activities. First version of the the ENR was tested in many institution in the Summer of 2022, then Dr. András Oláh was asked by Dr. Péter Takács Secretary of State for Health to be the coordinator of the Hungarian ENR development process and to improve that based on the pilot experiences. The process was realized with the OKFŐ/ÁKI, PPI and with the consensual support of the major nursing associations (MESZK, SZK-ÁSZT, MÁE, MÁIE, MÁT). Emphasized aim was to install international valid scales and tools which are fitting in to the later complex ENR’s developement. In this framework it is necessary a nationally integrated system which not only classify but also analyze and evaluate correctly the incoming datas. These results may be used to plan nursing human resources and to implement a nursing workload and intensity measurement system. The aim of this study is to give a brief literature review about the nursing resource planning systems, including the experiences about the German patient classification system and the limitations of the patient classification systems. We would like to present on examples how the Finnish patient classification system works what may be part of the Hungarian ENR.]

[Who is the Person called Lector or the Value of Intellectual Work?]

CSÓKA Mária

[To dispell the general misconception that professional proofreading is a pretence activity necessarily associated with institutional accreditation only. This clarification is urgently needed as the scientific assessment of professional materials is a reviewer’s competence, but the evaluation process is currently not regulated. 

The structured interview method was adopted in the empirical research using a descriptive statistical approach. Data were collected via phone, the proofreading fee were determined using the remuneration nomenclatures compiled by publishers and translation agencies. A written and a project worksheet were adopted as data processing instruments. 

The fee for proofreading without editing was HUF 106,658.4 using a multiplier of HUF 0.8/character. This reward raised to HUF 133,323 if a multiplier of HUF 1.0/character was adopted. These fees are in sharp contrast with HUF 10,000 currently offered to the author. 

The scientific professional proofreading is seen as the basis of accreditation of all institutions. Therefore the proofreading services should meet stringent professional guidelines and quality standards involving the proper compensation for lectors’ work..]

HIRDI Henriett Éva, BARNAFÖLDI Gergely Gábor

[On behalf of FOHNEU, 11 occupational health nurses visited CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland. The participants were able to see the work of the Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Department, which is the driving force behind CERN’s safety policy. In addition, they were able to learn how CERN’s Medical Service takes care of all aspects of occupational health.]
