Med volilno kampanjo za volitve v Evropski parlament so bili izvedeni intervjuji v fokusnih skupinah s 84 člani občinstva in poglobljeni intervjuji s 50 novinarji/uredniki vplivnih slovenskih ...medijev. Rezultati so pokazali, da med intervjuvanimi člani občinstva prevladujejo do Twitterja nevtralni, ki ne izkazujejo niti negativnega niti pozitivnega stališča do Twitterja. Stališče kritikov Twitterja do Twitterja in njegove uporabe v novinarstvu je izrazito negativno. Nad Twitterjem navdušeni redno uporabljajo Twitter ter izkazujejo pozitivno stališče do njega in njegove uporabe v novinarstvu. Med novinarji/uredniki prevladuje polarizirano stališče do uporabe Twitterja v novinarstvu. Kritiki Twitterja izražajo negativno stališče in uporabo Twitterja v novinarstvu označujejo kot politično propagando, ker novinarji prednostno objavljajo sporočila tistih politikov, ki uporabljajo Twitter. Negativno stališče do uporabe Twitterja v novinarstvu so utemeljevali z nenovičarsko vrednostjo tvitov, neargumentirano razpravo na Twitterju, z izločitvijo novinarstva iz komuniciranja med politiki in državljani ter s preobremenjenostjo novinarjev z delom. Vsi nad Twitterjem navdušeni so pozitivno stališče do uporabe Twitterja v novinarstvu utemeljevali s hitro in poceni objavo, z jedrnatostjo tvitov, s transparentnostjo, samopromocijo in z večjim dosegom prispevkov ter uporabnostjo Twitterja kot vira informacij.
Clanek odgovarja na vprasanje, kaksna je vloga medijev pri oblikovanju identitete in integraciji mlajsih priseljenih mladostnikov iz nekdanje Jugoslavije v slovensko druzbo. V teoretskem delu ...konceptualizira odnos med socializacijo, integracijo, identiteto in medijsko potrosnjo mladostnikov. V osrednjem delu predstavlja rezultate analize poglobljenih intervjujev s priseljenimi mladostniki iz drzav nekdanje Jugoslavije. Ti kazejo, da mediji igrajo pomembno vlogo pri integraciji priseljenih mladostnikov. Intervjuvanci redno uporabljajo internet za ohranjanje starih in vzpostavljanje novih znotrajetnicnih in medetnicnih odnosov, preverjanje veljavnosti svojih prepricanj in dejanj ter pridobivanje priznanja s strani vrstnikov. Mediji igrajo nasprotujoco vlogo pri identifikaciji z novo druzbo. Na eni strani z negativno reprezentacijo priseljencev poglabljajo vrzel med vecinsko druzbo in etnicnimi manjsinami, na drugi strani pa jo osebna medetnicna komunikacija prek interneta zmanjsuje Article answers on the question, what is the role of the media in the construction of identity and integration of young migrant adolescents from former Yugoslavia in Slovenian society. The theoretical section conceptualizes the relationship among socialization, integration, identity and media use by adolescents. The main section represents results of in-depth interviews with migrant adolescents from the former Yugoslavia. They show that media play an important role in the integration of migrant adolescents. Interviewees regularly use the Internet for maintaining old and establishing new intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic relations, receiving validation for their views and actions, and acceptance by their peers. Media play a conflicting role in the identification with a new society. On the one hand, their negative representation of the migrants deepens the gap between majority and ethnic minorities; on the other hand, the personal inter-ethnic communication on the Internet reduces this gap.

The key to diversity in nursing is that nurses can provide competent nursing care to patients, within the scope of their responsibilities, regardless of the patients' personalities or primary and ...secondary factors.
To research which dimensions of diversity influence the attitude of nurses towards patients and the quality of nursing care.
This research study is based on the descriptive and causal non-experimental method of empirical research. The independent samples t-test was used, and the within subjects ANOVA with the Bonferroni posthoc test.
There are statistically significant differences among the dimensions of diversity in the arithmetic means of the ratings of the impact on the quality of nursing (F (1.407, 579.658) = 103.307, p < 0.001). Based on the Bonferroni test, the impact of the "personality" dimension was rated statistically significantly higher than the impact of the dimensions of "primary factors" (p < 0.001) and "secondary factors" (p < 0.001).
The diversity factors should be taken into account when developing knowledge of nurses for managing patients' diversity. In modern nursing care, the safe clinical environment needs to enable the patient to feel safe and dignified.
BACKGROUND: An integrated clinical pathway (ICP) is a key method for structuring or planning processes of care, enabling the modernization of health-care delivery and coordination of multiple roles, ...forming a complete, patient-centered multidisciplinary health-care team and establishing the sequence of activities, promoting individual and team communication, collaboration, networking, and transparency, and reducing the cost of care.
AIM: As there is a research gap in the area of communication among members of a multidisciplinary team for the treatment of patients through an ICP, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of communication of a member of a multidisciplinary team on the active participation of an individual in this multidisciplinary team.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study of three ICPs, forchronic kidney disease, stroke, and total hip arthroplasty was conducted in a typical Slovenian general hospital.
RESULTS: The results show that in the analyzed hospital, two of the three clinical pathways are not yet fully integrated.
CONCLUSION: There is a weak influence of staff communication within a multidisciplinary team on an individual’s participation in this multidisciplinary team, indicating the need for various activities to actually implement clinical pathway “integration,” and promote better communication within teams to strengthen participation in multidisciplinary patient care pathways.
The aim of the study was to identify the most important macro-, meso-, and micro-level factors influencing work engagement and motivation for employment in long-term care (LTC) in Slovenia.
A ...correlational cross-sectional survey design with a self-reported standardized online questionnaire was used among Slovenian workers (N = 452LTC).
The results show that LTC workers generally enjoy going to work (68%), feel enthusiasm for their work (61%), and take great pride in their work (90%). Enjoyment increases with age, and is correlated with education and position. Joy is the lowest among those working in nursing homes. However, nursing and care teams show the greatest enthusiasm for and pride in the work done. Those who believe that their work is valued by society and their family enjoy going to work more. Although income is the most important factor in leaving the LTC sector, there are no differences in work engagement regarding the level of monthly income. Over 58% of the variance in work engagement was explained by the influence of sociodemographic characteristics, social recognition, and work environment..
To promote employee engagement, LTC leaders should provide a better work environment and social recognition.
Cooperation in an interdisciplinary team is an important aspect of ensuring the quality and safety of patient care, although the interaction of individuals from different disciplines in the clinical ...environment can also be hampered by inadequate communication.
This study attempts to fill the research gap and identify professionals’ perceptions of interdisciplinary collaboration and quality measures, the impact of interdisciplinary collaboration on the quality of care in a general hospital and clarify the perspective of patients and healthcare professionals.
The case study was conducted using a survey of healthcare professionals (N = 150) and a qualitative approach by interviewing healthcare professionals (N = 47) and patients (N = 20).
The results of the survey show that the nurses rated all the criteria of interdisciplinary cooperation and individual quality criteria the highest, and the quality of care in general the worst, as they were not satisfied with the implementation due to the lack of staff. The exchange of information did not affect the quality of care because organizational and national authorities did not sufficiently consider the views of staff. In in-depth interviews, patients rate teamwork as poor because they do not get enough explanation and do not feel treated as equal members of the medical team. In in-depth interviews, patients and healthcare professionals are aware of the lack of teamwork among themselves, as well as of the quality of care due to staff shortages in general and especially during the pandemic.
This article focuses on the local understandings, responses and interpretations of celebrity activist Angelina Jolie and the film she directed in 2011 about the war rapes in Bosnia and Herzegovina: ...In the land of Blood and Honey. We first provide a brief historical context of the production and promotion of the film. Next, we offer a theoretical approach to the phenomenon of celebrity activism. In the third part, we look at how Jolie’s film has been received and interpreted in the region itself, since Jolie’s stated goal was to ‘raise awareness about war rapes’. On the basis of in-depth interviews with Bosnian public intellectuals, we argue that the film’s story of war rapes and suffering did little to raise awareness about war rape victims generally and was interpreted primarily within two discursive frameworks: celebrity and ethno-nationalistic ones that tend to reinforce the status quo in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina and perpetuate misunderstandings about war crimes. Jolie’s activism, in other words, did not contribute to the reconciliation between different ethnicities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but has, on the contrary, further fostered polarization that continues to plague the region.
•Farmers from Slovenia, Poland, Lithuania and the Netherlands used three strategies.•The main strategy was Expansion, Specialisation, and Wait and See.•In 2010, the main strategy for all countries ...together was that the Expansion.•In 2016, the main strategy for all countries together was the Wait and See.•Larger farms with somewhat younger farmers chose expansion and chain integration.
In recent years, the European Union (EU) dairy sector has experienced considerable changes, triggering heavily fluctuating milk prices and a crash in milk prices in 2015/2016. These changes were forcing dairy farmers to respond by reconsidering their strategy. Since there is a lack of insight into how farmers were adjusting their strategies to the new circumstances, this study aimed to fill the gap by conducting a survey on farmers’ development plans in three Central and Eastern European countries (Poland, Lithuania and Slovenia) with different farming systems and one Western European country with a well-developed dairy sector (the Netherlands) before (2010 and 2013) and one year after the EU milk quota was abolished (2016). Groups of farmers with similar strategies were identified using principle component analysis and cluster analysis. Differences in strategies between years and countries were studied. The results reveal three main strategies in the analysed years: expansion, specialisation, and wait and see. Six farmer clusters were then identified. The cluster of Growers was largest, corresponding to the strategies of expansion and specialisation in dairy production. The share of Growers was increasing in Poland and the Netherlands and falling in Lithuania and Slovenia, probably due to the strong market orientation and good dairy production conditions in the aforementioned countries. The share of farmers in the Wait and See cluster grew significantly from 2013 to 2016 in all countries. These farmers considered the economic environment as too uncertain for further development at the time. The share of Diversifiers was rather stable within each country over the years. The share of Chain integrators, namely those who look for cooperation with other parties in the chain, was larger in good years and the share of Co-operators, who prefer to cooperate with other farmers, was larger in difficult market times. The cluster of Movers had the largest farms. On average, larger farms with somewhat younger farmers opted for growth, chain integration or moving and somewhat older farmers with smaller farms for a (temporary) stand-still. But considerable differences in the number of farmers per cluster over the years were found. Less than half the farmers were consistent in their development direction after 3 years, due to fluctuating prices and changing policies. Wait and See farmers were the most consistent. Policymakers and advisory services should consider farm strategies according to national specificities. Most farmers follow a strategy of expansion, while a smaller group of them were more concerned and act cautiously in a difficult market or policy situation. However, many farmers appeared to change their opinion on the self-chosen direction from time to time due to the varying circumstances. This instability in strategy choice makes future decision-making a fluid matter and not really consistent with well-designed planning.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate consumer preferences in the Slovenian context with regard to cheese, ham and honey labelled with the national and EU protected designation of ...origin (PDO) indication and the protected geographical indication (PGI) associated with price and origin. Design/methodology/approach An online survey with a representative sample of the Slovenian population of 650 consumers was conducted. Consumer preferences were estimated using choice-based conjoint analysis. Findings The findings show that price is the most powerful driver of consumer preferences for cheese and honey, whereas it is origin for ham, which proved to be the most strongly desired “Slovenian” food product of all items analysed. Label is the least preferable attribute for all three products considered. Cheese, ham and honey bearing the national PDO and PGI labels were more desired than products carrying the EU PDO and PGI labels. The study findings also show the main statistically significant differences in the age and gender of consumers. Research limitations/implications The biggest limitation is that the study focused on certain labels only, related to quality, and origin in particular. Practical implications This result highlights the need to extend and intensify promotional and communication activities to increase consumer preferences for the national and EU PDO- and PGI-labelled cheeses, ham and honey. Originality/value This study contributes to relevant literature by presenting the results regarding consumer preferences for the EU and national quality labels for different food categories in Slovenia, which has no tradition in using the EU quality labels.
ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Obstojece studije o digitalnem razkoraku trdijo, da je starost eden od kljucnih dejavnikov razkoraka, toda zanemarjajo poglobljeno analizo stalisc starih ljudi do interneta in ...situacij, v katerih se ti nahajajo. Zato skusa clanek zapolniti to raziskovalno vrzel. Izvedena je bila kvantitativna analiza o rabi interneta na reprezentativnem vzorcu starih prebivalcev Slovenije, starih med 65 in 85 let, in 33 poglobljenih intervjujev s starimi osebami na Primorskem o rabi in staliscih do interneta. Rezultati analize ankete so pokazali, da internet uporablja 33,2% starih prebivalcev Slovenije, vec moskih, bolj izobrazenih in premoznejsih. Raba interneta se razlikuje tudi glede na regijo. Kljucna vzroka neuporabe interneta sta pomanjkanje denarja in neznanje. Analiza poglobljenih intervjujev je pokazala kompleksno sliko rabe in stalisc do interneta. Glede na rabo in stalisca do interneta smo intervjuvance razvrstili na internetne kritike, nevtralce in navdusence. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Existing studies on the digital divide agree that age is one of the key factors regarding the divide, but they neglect an in-depth analysis of the attitudes of the old people towards the internet and the situations in which they live. This article tries to fill this research gap. We carried out a quantitative analysis of a representative sample of the old Slovenian population of ages between 65 and 85 years on internet use, and 33 in-depth interviews with the old people in Primorska on internet use and their attitudes towards it. The results of the survey analysis show that 33.2% of old people in Slovenia use the internet. Among these users are more men than women, and they tend to be better educated and wealthier than non-users. Internet use also differs by region - it is used least in Pomurje and most in central Slovenia. The key reasons for not using the internet are lack of money and knowledge. The analysis of in-depth interviews revealed a more complex picture of internet use. According to use and attitudes towards the internet, we classified the interviewees into internet critics, neutrals, and followers. The internet critics comprise two types. The largest group of critics does not use the internet because of lack of money, poor social support and negative attitudes towards it. Those interviewees believe that the internet encourages and allows an invasion of privacy. Another group of relatively well-networked, wealthier and socially active old interviewees who are able to afford access to the internet, but deliberately do not use it because they believe that digital communication threatens the quality of interpersonal communication. The neutrals, those who do not use the internet or use it very rarely, expressed neither positive nor negative attitudes towards the internet. The results show that they would use the internet if they had individual access and learnt how to use it. A special group comprises those who do not use the internet because of a disease or a disability. They want to use it because they wish to `live a life,' which they consider themselves now deprived of. The internet followers regularly use the internet and have a positive, though not naive, view; they point out many problems involved in using the internet. The study also show that greater social engagement is not correlated with greater internet use, rather with attitudes towards the internet.
