[Scientific research appearing in the literature proves that the effective rehabilitation of Covid-19 patients begins already in the phase of acute care. Aim: The purpose of the study is to assess nurses’ knowledge of rehabilitation along the lines of continuity of health care for Covid-19 patients. The research was conducted among nurses working in the care of Covid-19 patients by analyzing an online questionnaire. The selection criterion for participation in the study was that the respondent should work as a nurse during the study and in the pre-trial period in the field of Covid-19 hospital care. The questionnaire consisted of 25 closed-ended questions about rehabilitation care for Covid-19 patients, knowledge of disease-related damage, and rehabilitation-oriented care for Covid-19 patients. The nursing staff does not know the rehabilitation needs of patients with Sars-CoV-2 virus infection. Nurses identify rehabilitation with long-term goals rather than as a process appearing at every stage of patient care. Nurses have incomplete knowledge of both rehabilitation options and nursing roles. As a result of the pandemic, rehabilitation is also playing an increasing role in acute care. In the training of nurses, greater emphasis should be placed on the development of a rehabilitation approach and the education of knowledge. More effective patient care necessitates a change of mindset in nursing activities. ]

[The present study assessed the severity of depressive symptoms among health care workers and its possible correlations with taking care of Covid-19 patients and with various sociodemographic and workplace related factors. The cross-sectional study was conducted with a self-constructed questionnaire from 27. January 2022 to 14. February 2022. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, chi-square tests and Spearman correlations (p<0.05). Different levels of depressive symptoms can be observed by 42.3% of the 10,285 responders. Depressive symptoms correlated with marital status, gender, years spentbeorking in health care, level of health care service and with time spent in Covid-19 provision. More severe depressive symptoms correlated with burnout, negative attitude towards Covid-19 vaccines. With age the severity of depression diminished. Working in the Covid-19 health service provision hadba negative impact on the mental state of health care workers. It is important to note here that the Beck Depression Inventory is not a diagnostic tool. ]

[The aim of our research was to get to know the health workers’ perception of the healthcare sector and career in general, and to reveal the opportunities and career paths they see, what motivates them and what would help individuals in shaping a positive vision of the future. We managed personal interviews with 25 healthcare workers during quantitative research, to learn about the prospects, desires and difficulties related to the healthcare sector. During the research, we selected interviewees based on job role and search status; we talked to nurses, doctors, active and passive job seekers as well. Based on the interviews, four different personas (attitude types) were emerged in relation to their opinion about the healthcare sector and the most important pain points related to work and career paths: 1. conscious builder, 2. proud-dedicated-responsible, 3. uncertain-condescending, 4. complaining-realist. The attitude of the personas is greatly influenced by the level of criticality felt towards the system and the level of awareness related to building their own career. The four personas (different types of attitudes) have a different approach to the job search within the healthcare sector and to the shortcomings of the system. Their need for change, the potential for displacement and even quitting the sector are different. ]

[The decoration of the first Christmas tree goes back four centuries. Hospitals also played an active role in the spread of this custom in Hungary in the 19th century. According to ethnographers and contemporary articles, pine trees were already decorated in children’s poor hospitals at Christmas in the mid-1850s, thanks to noble-minded donating ladies. Nowadays, healthcare professionals are the ones who try to create a Christmas atmosphere for patients within the walls of the hospital. ]

[We wanted to assess the oral care habits of parents with kindergarteners in relation to self and their children. The study aimed to shed light on the importance of parental roles through the correlations between parental and infantile oral care. The online survey was conducted with a self-constructed questionnaire between June and September of 2022. Convenience sampling was used. Data were analyzed by the means of descriptive statistics and chi-square probes, all were conducted with IBM SPSS 20 (p<0.05). There were 98 answers included in the analyses. There were no correlations between brushing teeth together with parents and the number of caries (p=0.873) and fillings (p=0.746). There was no difference between children whose parents started brushing when the first teeth appeared and between those, whose parents started brushing only after all their teeth appaered regarding the number of caries (p=0.964) and fillings (p=0.970). The brushing habits of parents showed correlation with those of their children, e.g. duration (p<0.000). As there are obvious correlations between parental and infantile tooth brushing habits, the parents need to be informed about this. Dental hygienists could provide information in the kindergarten. ]

[The rapidly spreading SARS-CoV2 respiratory virus has evoked an epidemic with serious aftermath around the world. In addition to the health effects, the global economic damage is actually unpredictable. At the same time, the pandemic has launched a series of unprecedented collaborative scientific research, including the development of vaccines. This study summarizes up-to-date information on vaccines, immune memory, and some emerging clinical effects.]

[The present study aimed to assess the level of burn-out among health-care workers in 2020 and its correlations with socio-demographic and workplace related factors. The cross-sectional study was conducted by the means of a self-constructed online survey in the beginning of 2021. The responses of 1965 people were analysed with the help of SPSS 23.0. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis probes were run (p<0.05). Severe burnout was present in 46.7% of the responders. Age, marital status, type of health-care provided and years spent in the health-care system didn’t show any correlation with burnout. Unsure vision, opinion about salary raise and uncertainty at the workplace influenced the level of burnout significantly (p<0.000). The mental health of health-care workers is in continuous decline, in which the COVID-19 pandemic might play a big role. People with worse mental health feel more uncertain regarding their future and job; this might make providing health-care more and more difficult.]

[On February 19, 2022 We celebrate the 205th anniversary of the birth of the first national matronage (head nurse), Zsuzsanna Kossuth. Zsuzsanna Kossuth was characterized by a high degree of empathy, self-sacrifice, exemplary behaviour, and professionalism. She laid the foundation for the processes of nursing and patient care and performed outstanding professional work throughout his life. She made no distinction between man and man, she only saw the suffering patient, in every soldier and injured. She sacrificed his life for his profession. The Hungarian Nursing Association founded the Zsuzsanna Kossuth commemorative medal in 1998, the year of the 150th anniversary of the War of Independence, which is donated every year on February 19.]

[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.]
