The purpose of this study is to map and analyse how travellers at an airport and on ferries experience, interpret and define the risk, safety and freedom of movement in the northern part of the ...Baltic Sea region with regard to the border agencies. This qualitative study is based on empirically gathered material such as field interviews and fieldwork observations on Stockholm's Arlanda airport in Sweden, and a Tallink Silja Line ferry running between Stockholm and Riga in Latvia. The study's general starting point was an ethno-methodologically inspired perspective on verbal descriptions along with an interactionist perspective which considers interactions expressed through language and gestures. Apart from this starting point, this study focused on the construction of safety as particularly relevant components of the collected empirical material. The study findings suggest that many passengers at the airport and on the ferries hold positive views about the idea of the freedom of movement in Europe, but are scared of threats coming from outside Europe. The travellers created and re-created the phenomenon of safety which is maintained in contrast to others, in this case the threats from outside Europe. The passengers in this study construct safety by distinguishing against the others outside Europe but also through interaction with them. The passengers emphasise that the freedom of movement is personally beneficial because it is easier for EU citizens to travel within Europe but, at the same time, it is regarded as facilitating the entry of potential threats into the European Union.
This multicentre, cross-sectional observational study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among the working population of Slovenia and identify factors correlating with higher prevalence ...of depression. It was conducted in three occupational medicine practices within major Slovenian primary health care centres. The study population consisted of 1,474 respondents 73.7 % of the invited participants, 889 (60.3 %) men and 585 (39.7 %) women with mean age of (40.5±9.8) years who visited these practices for their regular check-ups from November 2010 to June 2012 and were asked to fill in a self-developed questionnaire and score depression on the Zung’s self-rating depression scale. According to the rating, 50 (3.4 %) respondents suffered from depression. In the multivariate analysis, depression correlated with the following independent variables: self-perceived exposure to chronic stress, positive family history of depression, and primary school education.
Namen raziskave je bil določiti prevalence depresije med delovno aktivno populacijo in odkriti morebitne dejavnike, povezane z večjo prevalence depresije. Izvedli smo multicentrično presečno opazovalno raziskavo v ambulantah medicine dela, prometa in športa v treh večjih zdravstvenih domovih v Sloveniji. Opazovana populacija je bila sestavljena iz zaporednih obiskov delavcev, ki so prišli na redni preventivni pregled od novembra 2010 do junija 2012. Podatke smo zbirali s pomočjo vprašalnika, depresijo pa smo ugotavljali na podlagi Zungovega vprašalnika. V vzorcu je bilo 1.474 (73,7 %) posameznikov, od katerih je bilo 889 (60,3 %) moških. Povprečna starost vzorca je bila (40,5±9,8) let. V vzorcu je bilo 590 (3,4 %) posameznikov z depresijo. V multivariatni analizi so bile naslednje spremenljivke neodvisno povezane s prisotnostjo depresije: izpostavljenost stresu, pozitivna družinska anamneza depresije in osnovnošolska izobrazba.

Veliko področij zdravstvene nege se vključuje v skrb za družine. Avtorica v prispevku predstavi družine skozi prizmo raziskovanja. Namen članka je na teoretični ravni predstaviti nekatere posebnosti ...raziskovanja v zdravstveni negi v primerih, ko so v raziskave vključene družine. Predstavljene so smernice Mednarodnega sveta medicinskih sester, izhodišča, ki naj usmerjajo raziskovanje v družinah, omejitve raziskovanja v družinah in nekatere temeljne zahteve za izvajanje raziskav. Teoretična izhodišča podpre avtorica z rezultati raziskave v družinah v kliničnem okolju. V prilogi so predstavljena konkretna navodila za oblikovanje vloge za pridobitev soglasja etične komisije v Sloveniji.
Odločitev za izvedbo obsežne in zahtevne raziskave na še neobdelanem raziskovalnem polju ni naključna. Namen prispevka je, da osvetli kontekst, v katerem je do te odločitve prišlo, in predstavi njena ...izhodišča. Le-ta so teoretična in temeljijo na določeni konceptualizaciji in vrednostni orientaciji naročnika raziskave in raziskovalk ter metodološka, se pravi razlogi za izbiro določene raziskovalne strategije in metod. Avtorica opozori tudi na etične vidike raziskovanja in zaključi s predstavitvijo implikacij raziskave za dejavnost medicinskih sester in za nadaljnje raziskovanje ob upoštevanju njenih omejitev.
