[Simulation in the Practical Training of Nurses]

VIZVÁRI László

[The field of healthcare is constantly developing, and the role of nurses is of paramount importance in the optimal care and treatment of patients. Practical education for nurses is essential to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to provide complex health care to patients. However, traditional hands-on teaching methods are time-consuming and sometimes offer limited opportunities to practice in varied and critical clinical situations.
This article reviews the place and benefits of simulation in the practical education of nurses. The simulation gives nurses the opportunity to practice handling different cases in a realistic, controlled environment, thus improving their decision-making skills and communication skills. After a brief historical overview, it will be presented what types of simulation tools and methods are available for the practical education of nurses and how they support the students’ knowledge acquisition and development.]

[Circadian Rhythm Disruption Disorder among Nurses working at Saint George Hospital in Fejér County]

BUJDOSÓ Eszter

[The aim of this study is to map the psychiatric and somatic disorders in nurses that may be caused by an overnight biological shift due to night shifts.

The study was conducted among the staff of Fejér County Szent György University Teaching Hospital. During this process, the occupational health documentation of 268 nurses was processed, and questionnaire data (n=108) was also collected. Sleep disorders were assessed using the Epwort Scale, while anxiety was assessed using the Beck Anxiety Scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency and mean calculations, Chi2-test, and t-test.

The BMI value of nurses working in multiple shifts is higher, but there is no significant. The average score on the ESS sleep scale of nurses working multiple shifts was slightly higher than that of nurses working one shift. When examining Beck’s Anxiety Scale, there was no significant difference between the two shift schedules either.

In our opinion, due to the low number of items there is a difference everywhere but it is not significant.]
