Abstract Introduction There is a concerning trend of emigration among highly educated individuals in Montenegro. This includes medical professionals who seek better job opportunities abroad. The aim ...of the present study was to identify the primary motivational factors driving Montenegrin medical students to pursue a career in medicine, and whether these factors undergo changes over the course of their studies. Methods A cross-sectional study included 210 medical students in Montenegro, 27.62% were males, and 72.38% were females. The mean age of the students was 21.90 years (SD=3.05) (range 19–39). Their academic motivation was analysed using the Academic Motivation Scale, previously validated in various cultural contexts. Results The results showed that autonomous motivation levels were higher than controlled motivation levels (p<0.001) among students in Montenegro, which has been previously associated with better learning outcomes. Students with medical doctors among their family members had higher extrinsic motivation related to rewards and punishments (extrinsic motivation with external regulation p=0.018). Amotivation showed a trend of increasing as the students got closer to graduation (p=0.057). Only 8.1% of students planned a career in primary healthcare, and 1% wished to specialize in family medicine. Conclusions This study’s findings, which indicate high levels of autonomous motivation among medical students, are of significant importance. They contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the motivation factors among medical students and young healthcare professionals in Montenegro. Moreover, they provide a basis for the implementation of strategic interventions to retain highly skilled medical professionals within the country’s workforce, thereby addressing the concerning trend of emigration among this group.
Príspevok sa zaoberá analýzou dopytu po autobusovej doprave a skúmaním determinantov dopytu a zvyklostí žiakov stredných škôl na základe prieskumu prepravných zvyklostí v Žilinskom kraji. Prepravné ...zvyklosti žiakov stredných škôl sú individuálne, v čase sa menia. Táto skupina cestujúcich je závislá na službách verejnej osobnej dopravy (VOD) vzhľadom na potrebu premiestnenia za vzdelávaním. Taktiež sa táto skupina cestujúcich významnou mierou podieľa na celkovom dopyte po VOD. Poznanie správania sa tejto skupiny cestujúcich môže napomôcť k zabezpečeniu vhodnej ponuky a kvality dopravnej obslužnosti, čo môže následne stabilizovať dopyt po VOD.
Students' mental health is recognised as an important public health issue, and the strict measures and many changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated this. The aims of the ...study were thus to explore psychological well-being among university students in Slovenia during the beginning of the second lockdown, and to assess associations among their psychological well-being, demographic characteristics, presence of a chronic health condition, and resilience.
The Slovenian online cross-sectional survey was performed as part of a large-scale international survey led by the COVID-HL Consortium, between the 2nd and 23rd November 2020. The study was carried out on a sample of 3,468 university students (70% female) in Slovenia, aged between 18 to 40 (M=22/SD=3). In addition to sociodemographic data and that on the presence of a chronic health condition, data on subjective social status (SSS), psychological well-being (WHO-5) and resilience (CD-RISC 10) was also gathered.
In our study 52% of university students reported good psychological well-being. Hierarchical binary logistic regression revealed that male, older students, those with higher perceived subjective social status, students without a chronic health condition, and those with higher score on resilience were more likely to have good psychological well-being. Resilience was the strongest predictor of psychological well-being in our study.
Systematic preventive approaches/interventions in the field of mental health should be implemented among students in Slovenia. In this context it is important to develop and deliver programmes for enhancing resilience, which is an important protective factor in times of mental distress.
The purpose of the present study was to examine self-perceived stress of health professions students at the Faculty of Medicine Foča, and to explore its association with anxiety, depression and ...health-related quality of life.
The cross-sectional study enrolled 451 students at the Faculty of Medicine (medicine, dentistry, nursing and speech therapy). Survey instruments were distributed at the conclusion of the spring semester during the last required lecture for each year and study programme class. Perceived stress was assessed using the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale. The students were evaluated for symptoms of depression and anxiety, using Zung's self-assessment inventory for depression and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). European Quality of Life-5 dimensions were used for describing and evaluating health. Multivariate analyses were carried out using logistic regression to examine the relationship between the outcome variable and selected determinant factors.
A high degree of stress was reported by 1.6% of students, while the majority of students had either moderate (70.6%) or low degree (27.5%) of stress. The significant independent factors associated with perceived stress were anxiety score (OR, 0.339; CI 95%, 0.276-0.403) and EQ-5D score (OR, 0.044; CI 95%, 0.033-0.085). A high degree of perceived stress (OR, 0.624; CI 95%, 0.507-0.704), the presence of depression (OR, 0.800; CI 95%, 0.513-1.087), and low quality of life were associated with anxiety (OR, 0.073; CI 95%, 0.018-0.128).
Higher levels of perceived stress predispose health professions students for anxiety and lower quality of life. The study programme was not a significant determinant of perceived stress sore.
Prispevek obravnava korespondenco med dvema ključnima predstavnikoma dunajske umetnostnozgodovinske šole v slovenskem prostoru – Francetom Steletom in Izidorjem Cankarjem. Razprava sledi njunemu ...dopisovanju od začetka študija do konca leta 1913 in se osredotoča na Steletovo uredniško in javno delovanje v obdobju pred prvo svetovno vojno. France Stele je kmalu po vpisu na Dunajsko univerzo prevzel uredništvo Zore, glasila katoliškega akademske ga društva, in k sodelovanju povabil Cankarja, ki je tedaj študiral v Louvainu. Stele in Cankar sta se spopadla s predsodki ob sprejemanju moderne umetnosti med slovenskimi katoliškimi izobraženci zlasti v primeru sodobne cerkvene arhitekture. Steletov esej Apologija moderne umetnosti, objavljen leta 1911, lahko razumemo kot prvi neposredni naslon na dunajsko šolo umetnostne zgodovine. Vsebina članka in odzivi nanj sicer niso neposredno odmevali v ohranjeni korespondenci med Steletom in Cankarjem, vendar pa je sam način, kako sta se kolega kasneje dopolnjevala in podpirala, zelo značilen za njuno vodenje javne polemike.
V zadnjih desetletjih se tudi v visokem šolstvu vse bolj poudarja pomen na študenta usmerjenega poučevanja, ki se kaže predvsem v spodbujanju študentove aktivne vloge v procesu lastnega učenja. Za ...spodbujanje smiselnega grajenja znanja pa je treba razumeti učni proces s perspektive študenta. V ta namen smo v kvantitativni raziskavi želele ugotoviti, kako študenti zaznavajo visokošolski pouk tako z vidika spodbujenosti k aktivnemu osmišljanju učnih vsebin kot tudi z vidika povezovanja teorij in raziskovalnih ugotovitev s prakso in urjenja v uporabi informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije (IKT). V raziskavi je sodelovalo 212 študentov različnih študijskih programov prve in druge bolonjske stopnje Univerze v Mariboru. Z namenom preveriti različne vidike visokošolskega pouka, kot ga zaznavajo študenti, smo uporabile dva sklopa trditev. Rezultati so pokazali, da študenti zaznavajo dokaj visoko stopnjo spodbude pri aktivnem študiju, še zlasti pri povezovanju novih vsebin z njihovim predznanjem, spodbujenosti k samoorganizaciji učenja ter vključevanju raznolikih primerov, ki so v pomoč pri osmišljanju znanja. Med študenti prve in druge stopnje smo ugotovile nekaj manjših razlik v zaznavah visokošolskega pouka, pri čemer študenti prve stopnje visokošolski pouk zaznavajo ugodneje. Prav tako smo ugotovile nekaj razlik v zaznavah študentov različnih usmeritev.

Uvod: Tandemsko dojenje ali dojenje sorojencev je slabo poznan koncept. Matere, ki tandemsko dojijo, se srečujejo s socialno stigmo in slabo oporo s strani zdravstvenih strokovnjakov. Namen raziskave ...je bil proučiti znanje o tandemskem dojenju med študenti zdravstvenih ved. Metode: Uporabljen je bil kvantitativni eksplorativni neeksperimentalni raziskovalni dizajn. V priložnostni vzorec so bili vključeni študenti zdravstvene nege (n = 66) in dietetike (n = 24). Podatki so bili zbrani s strukturiranim vprašalnikom (Cronbach α = 0,914). Uporabljena je bila opisna statistika, test hi-kvadrat in analiza variance. Rezultati: Da je popolnoma fiziološko, da ženska prekine dojenje starejšega otroka, če rodi naslednjega otroka, meni 50,7 % (n = 36) žensk in 84,2 % (n = 16) moških (χ2 = 6,898, p = 0,009). Kaj je izključno dojenje v prvih šestih mesecih, ve 79,2 % (n = 19) študentov dietetike in le 54,5 % (n = 36) študentov zdravstvene nege (χ2 = 4,489, p = 0,034). Nepravilnost trditve, da dojenčki v primeru tandemskega dojenja težje pridobivajo telesno težo, je prepoznalo 86,3 % (n = 44) žensk in 13,7 % (n = 7) moških. Diskusija in zaključek: V raziskavo vključeni študentje so izkazali pomanjkljivo znanje tako o dojenju na splošno kakor tudi o tandemskem dojenju. V študijski program bi bilo treba vnesti več vsebin o dojenju.
Uvod: E-izobraževanje je v terciarnem izobraževanju vse bolj pomembno, kljub temu pa tovrsten način učenja ni povsod uspešno implementiran. Na uspešnost uvajanja e-izobraževanja v študij pomembno ...vpliva pripravljenost na tovrstno obliko izobraževanja in odnos študentov do njega. Namen raziskave je bil proučiti naklonjenost študentov zdravstvene nege do e-izobraževanja. Metode: Kvantitativno raziskavo s spletnim anketiranjem smo izvedli v marcu 2014, na priložnostnem vzorcu (n = 92) študentov Fakultete za zdravstvo Jesenice. Koeficient Cronbach alfa je bil 0,966. Podatke smo obdelali s SPSS 20.0. Uporabili smo frekvenčno analizo, t-test za neodvisne vzorce, enosmerno analizo variance, korelacijsko, faktorsko in regresijsko analizo. Rezultati: Prednosti e-izobraževanja so najvišje ocenjene s strani študentov, ki so v e-učilnici sodelovali pri treh predmetih (p = 0,000). Odnos do e-izobraževanja je povezan z računalniško pismenostjo študentov (p < 0,05). Na odnos študentov do e-izobraževanja statistično značilno pozitivno vplivajo njegove prednosti (0,211< β
Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti izkušnje študentov dodiplomskega študija zdravstvene nege, vkljucenih v simulacijski tecaj dodatnih postopkov oživljanja (DPO) z ucenjem, ki vkljucuje uporabo ...simulatorja pacienta. Tecaj je ocenilo 73 študentov tretjega letnika dodiplomskega študija zdravstvene nege, in sicer s pomocjo trditev na podlagi 5-stopenjske Likertove lestvice in treh odprtih vprašanj. Študenti menijo, da so simulacije ucinkovita metoda ucenja, ki olajša prenos teoreticnega znanja v vsakodnevno klinicno prakso. Ceprav je 16 študentov izjavilo, da je bila ta izkušnja za njih rahlo stresna, so vsi študentje menili, da bi radi imeli vec priložnosti za ucenje na podlagi simulacij.
Abstract Introduction Among physiotherapists, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the most common health problem. This study aimed to provide evidence for planning evidence-based ...health promotion programmes for ensuring and maintaining adequate physical fitness (PF) to decrease WMSDs among physiotherapists which would have started already during the study. Methods A cross-sectional study involved the participation of a total of 100 physiotherapy students and 62 physiotherapists. Observed variables were prevalence of WMSDs in the last 12 months, lasting >3 days during physiotherapeutic activities and five PF components: body composition, cardiorespiratory and muscle endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility. A chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used as the main analytical methods. Results Prevalence of WMSDs in physiotherapists was 63.9% (the most common locations: lower back, shoulders, neck), while in physiotherapy students it was 46.5% (the most common locations: lower back, neck, upper back) (p=0.031). Among the PF components, the results showed statistically significantly worse flexibility among students compared to physiotherapists (about two thirds of students had poor or very poor results of flexibility testing) (p=0.002) in comparison to physiotherapists. A statistically significant positive association between WMSDs and PF was observed only between knee pain and poor cardiorespiratory endurance (OR=4.03 with 95% CI 1.12-14.58; p=0.033). Conclusion The study showed poor flexibility among students indicating that it is necessary to direct them to perform activities that will increase the extensibility of muscles. The awareness of this problem should be increased. A specific role should be played by staff involved in clinical practice.
