Montessori activities were implemented in nursing care of older adults in the home environment with the aim of creating meaningful, inclusive, and failure-free daily activities that improve their ...quality of life.
In-depth comparative case studies with exploratory methods were used based on structured interviews and observation of four purposely selected older adults with and without dementia in the home environment. The data was collected using the Montessori methodology, which was divided into five phases.
Diff erent types of activities and roles were developed based on the individual’s abilities and interests. The participants felt more independent and self-confident in the performance of planned activities and satisfied that they are busy during the day and engaged in activities that contribute to their better mobility and health.
Implemented activities can facilitate the inclusion of older adults in the daily routine of family life, increase the quality of life and the possibility of self-care in the home environment.
Abstract
Objectives
In healthcare, a variety of quality management practices are used. Although they are important sources for quality improvement initiatives, they do not focus on each particular ...process. On the other hand, ‘Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies’ (COBIT) offers a well-defined process representation structure for representing potential process improvements. The objective of this study was to adopt the COBIT structure for healthcare processes and assess the applicability of such process representations.
Design
A two-round Delphi technique was applied: in round 1, open-ended interviews were performed with the participants; in round 2, the participants responded to the web questionnaire.
Settings
The participants provided their opinion between 11 September 2018 and 26 June 2019.
Participants
It included 37 members of an expert panel from 8 European countries.
Intervention
N/A
Main Outcome Measures
In round 1, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats indicators of using the proposed structure in healthcare were identified. These were evaluated on a 9-point Likert scale in round 2.
Results
All participants noted that elements of the COBIT process representation structure were suitable for representing healthcare processes. The consensus was reached only for strengths and opportunities indicators.
Conclusions
A set of processes represented with the suggested structure has the potential to become a valid reference in healthcare quality improvements initiatives, as COBIT in IT domain. Despite the fact that the expert panel members confirmed the applicability of the COBIT process representation structure for healthcare processes, the identified weaknesses and threats cannot be ignored.
The study highlights the different concepts of dementia care models which are used in different care settings and determine the effectiveness and contribute to a better quality of life for people ...with dementia.
This literature review use PRISMA process for data collection and analysis. Scientific and professional publications in English were searched through international specialized databases; EBSCO HOST, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed and Wiley Online Library. The review results were founded by key words and then selected according to the publication time frame and other shaped criteria.
In total 1998 references were identified for the thematic content analysis, in the final review we included 29 studies. Two thematic areas were identified according to the keywords and literature search strategy: dementia care models and geriatric models of care. Further, we formed four concepts highlighted in models that reflect the specific characteristics and principles of care: biopsychosocial approach, person-centred care practice, environment of care, and Montessori for dementia care.
Most of featured models advocated the implementation of comprehensive, integrated and person-centred care, focused to honour and integrate an individual’s life story with their needs into daily care as much as possible in an appropriate and customized environment. Currently the most innovative model is based on implementation of Montessori approach into person’s daily activities.
Nursing clinical learning environments are particularly important for the achievement of good practice in clinical training of student nurses, and thus, for the nursing competence development. Hence, ...it is important to have an instrument consisting of reliable and valid criteria for assessing the clinical learning environment, applicable in different contexts, and translated in the respondents mother tongue. The goal of the present research was to test the reliability and validity of the Slovenian version of the “Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher evaluation scale”, and to compare it with the Croatian version. The data was collected between 10 March and 10 June 2015 at four Slovenian institutions, where nursing BSc study programmes are performed. The final sample consisted of 232 students (response rate 68.8%): 81.9% were females and 18.1% males, average age was 23. The translated instrument in Slovenian language resulted as reliable and valid, it reflects the expected five factors of the original version despite some minor problems in the factor structure and in test-retest. The most important difference between the Slovenian and Croatian version is in the factor structure regarding the implementation of roles in clinical learning environment.
•CLES+T was translated in Slovenian language and validated.•The Slovenian version reflects the expected five factors of the original version.•Three differences were identified between the Slovenian and the Croatian versions in the factor structure.•Some suggestions to improve the use of CLES+T are provided.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many teachers to switch from traditional face-to-face teaching to the use of various digital platforms in a short period of time. The research aimed to find out about ...teachers’ experiences of digital education at nursing faculties in four countries (Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden) which participated in the Erasmus+ Digital Education in Nursing project.
Qualitative research with semi-structured group interviews was used. A total of 28 nursing teachers participated. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed inductively, using qualitative content analysis. The interviews were analysed in accordance with the study aim by searching for codes which were grouped into subcategories and then into categories based on the similarity of the content.
Three important themes emerged from the analysis of the interviews: “conflicting feelings of teachers when switching to digital teaching”, “lack of digital competences”, “challenges for digital teaching in the future”.
Rapidly developing digital technology provides new possibilities and support for both teaching and learning. The research identified the need for further development of the digital competences of teachers, who recommended that a hybrid teaching method is the best for the education of nurses, since certain skills cannot be acquired by students solely in a digital way.

Uvod: Sladkorna bolezen zahteva od pacienta učinkovito samooskrbo, h kateri pripomore tudi zdravstvena pismenost. V skladu s tem je bil cilj raziskave na vzorcu pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo ...ugotoviti, kakšna je stopnja splošne in specifične zdravstvene pismenosti.Metode: Izvedena je bila študija primera, v katero je bilo vključenih 36 pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo. Instrumenta za zbiranje podatkov sta bila vprašalnik za oceno splošne zdravstvene pismenosti ter vprašalnik za oceno specifične zdravstvene pismenosti. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo deskriptivne statistike (frekvence, aritmetične sredine, standardne deviacije). Za vprašalnik splošne zdravstvene pismenosti smo izračunali zanesljivost (Cronbach alpha = 0,94) in analizirali dimenzionalno strukturo (faktorska analiza).Rezultati: Na področju splošne zdravstvene pismenosti so udeleženci dosegli najnižji rezultat pri preprečevanju bolezni (x = 2,89, s = 0,85), najvišji pa pri promociji zdravja (x = 3,13, s = 0,79). Osebe, ki so sodelovale v raziskavi, izkazujejo visoko specifično zdravstveno pismenost, saj so bili njihovi odgovori na večino vprašanj vprašalnika o specifični zdravstveni pismenosti pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo v povprečju 82 % pravilni.Diskusija in zaključek: Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo ustrezno stopnjo specifične zdravstvene pismenosti na področju sladkorne bolezni pri skupini pacientov, zajetih v raziskavo. Nekoliko slabša je njihova splošna zdravstvena pismenost na področju preprečevanja bolezni in zagotavljanja zdravega življenjskega sloga.
Uvod: Demenca je kronično obolenje s tendenco upadanja kognitivnih sposobnosti obolelega. Uporaba metod za obvladovanje in trening osnovnih življenjskih aktivnosti, ki omogočajo daljše obdobje ...samostojnega življenja pacienta z demenco, je v tujini uveljavljena z različnimi novejšimi koomplementarnimi pristopi. Ena izmed uveljavljenih metod je pristop Marie Montessori, prilagojen odraslim pacientom z demenco. V članku je predstavljena metoda montessori pri obravnavi pacienta z demenco in njeni učinki na kakovost življenja pacienta z demenco. Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna raziskovalna metodologija s pregledom domače in tuje literature. Za prikaz pregleda petih preko spleta dostopnih podatkovnih baz in odločanja o uporabnosti pregledanih virov je bila uporabljena metoda PRISMA. V končni pregled literature je bilo ključenih 19 člankov, objavljenih do maja 2016. Za obdelavo podatkov je bil uporabljen model analize konceptov. Večina zajetih raziskav je bila izvedena v Združenih državah Amerike. Rezultati: Po pregledu raziskav so bila identificirana tri tematska področja: (1) vpliv metode montessori na sodelovanje in prizadevanje, (2) vpliv metode montessori na vedenje, povezano s hranjenjem, in (3) vpliv metode montessori na širšo skupino kognitivnih sposobnosti. Diskusija in zaključek: Kljub majhnemu številu člankov, ki opisujejo uporabo metode montessori pri obravnavi pacientov z demenco, metodo lahko predstavimo kot učinkovito. Avtorji raziskav ugotavljajo, da pristop ne le omogoča ohranjanje kognitivnih sposobnosti, temveč le-te celo izboljšuje.
Uvod: Urinska inkontinenca je pogosto posledica oslabelih mišic medeničnega dna, ki se lahko zdravi konservativno ali medikamentozno. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšno je znanje žensk o ...funkcijah mišic medeničnega dna in kako ocenjujejo koristnost komplementarnih konservativnih pristopov za njihovo krepitev.Metode: Uporabljena je bila eksplorativna kvantitativna metoda dela. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen na podlagi pregledane literature, oblikovan je bil v spletnem orodju 1KA. Priložnostni vzorec so predstavljale ženske, stare med 20 in 64 let (n = 356). Podatki so bili analizirani z deskriptivno statistiko in faktorsko analizo. Rezultati: Vaj za krepitev mišic medeničnega dna ne izvaja 190 anketirank (52,4 %). Rezultati so pokazali, da pri vadbi za učinkovito krepitev mišic medeničnega dna pripomočke uporablja 12 anketirank (7 %). Diskusija in zaključek: Faktorska analiza je potrdila uporabnost za raziskavo oblikovanega inštrumenta. Anketirane ženske dobro poznajo funkcije mišic medeničnega dna, povezane z inkontinenco urina, vendar slabo skrbijo za krepitev mišic medeničnega dna. Spolne pripomočke štejejo le za zabavo in za popestritev spolnosti, ni pa jim znana možnost njihove uporabe za krepitev mišic medeničnega dna.
