Every family seeks encouragement for their spiritual and sociological growth. This article brings research among 30 members of the Agnus Dei family community. We explored the impact of the biblical ...text, in particular, the Gospel of Mark on married couples who encounter daily difficulties in raising children, but also in the personal upbringing of adults. The researcher of this article was inspired by the characters of the holy family: Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Jesus ’upbringing in Nazareth and the boy’s upbringing enabled his parents’ personal spiritual formation. That part makes up the first part of the paper. It is followed by a survey among members of the Agnus Dei family community. Research has shown that there is a great interest in God’s word. Throughout the year, attendees had the opportunity to listen to commentaries on the Gospel of Mark. In addition to certain exercises, they applied instructions to daily life. The results showed that their family community was re-formed by the word of God. They felt an improvement in interpersonal relationships in the family but also in the community. The Nazareth school actually became a stimulus for all participants in catechesis. Biblical methods in raising a family indicate positive results.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istraživanje uloge religioznosti u psihološkoj dobrobiti mladih. U tu svrhu povedeno je istraživanje na mladima prosječne dobi 20,74 godina (N=129). Primijenjeni su ...sljedeći mjerni instrumenti: Skala zadovoljstva životom, Skala smisla života, Kratka ljestvica religioznosti i Ljestvica slaganja s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja vode zaključku da je većina mladih religiozna, odnosno da se slaže s temeljnim biblijskim načelima nauka Katoličke crkve. Rezultati testiranja razlike u zadovoljstvu životom s obzirom na stupanj slaganja s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve pokazuju da su mladi koji se više slažu s tim načelima zadovoljniji životom. Nadalje, zadovoljstvo životom pozitivno je povezano sa procjenom smisla života, religioznošću i slaganjem s temeljnim načelima Katoličke crkve. Rezultati regresijske analize pokazuju da su smisao života i slaganje s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve značajni prediktori zadovoljstva životom.
The aim of this research study was to investigate the role of religiosity in the psychological well-being of young people. For that purpose, a research study was conducted among young people of the average age of 20.74 (N=129). The following measurement instruments were applied: Life Satisfaction Scale, Purpose in life Scale, Short Religiosity Scale, and the Scale of Agreement with the Basic Principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church. The results of the conducted study lead to the conclusion that the majority of young people are religious, i.e. that they agree with the basic biblical principles of the teachings of the Catholic Church. The results of the testing with regard to the difference in life satisfaction with reference to the level of agreement with the basic principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church indicate that the young people who agree with those principles to a greater extent are more satisfied with their life. Furthermore, life satisfaction has a positive correlation with the estimation of the purpose in life, religiosity, and the agreement with the basic principles of the Catholic Church. The results of the regression analysis indicate that the purpose in life and the agreement with the basic principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church are significant predictors of life satisfaction.
The aim of this research was to examine the mediating role of teacher--pupil interaction in the relationship of temperament to self-esteem and school success among year-7 and year-8 elementary-school ...pupils in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina (B&H). The assumptions on the contribution of the dimensions of temperament (self-control and negative affectivity) and teacher--pupil interaction (influence and proximity) in explaining pupils' self-esteem and school success were partially confirmed. Similar relationships among the measured variables were confirmed in both samples of pupils. Self-control, negative affectivity, and teacher proximity directly predicted self-esteem, while self--control indirectly predicted self-esteem through teacher proximity. Self-control and teacher proximity contributed directly to school success, and the indirect contribution of self--control to school success through teacher proximity was also significant. The results of this research indicate the importance of the direct contribution of children's temperaments to their self-esteem and school success, and of its indirect contribution through the quality of the interaction with their teacher. Keywords: teacher-pupil interaction, temperament, self-esteem, school success Cilj ovog istrazivanja bio je ispitati posredujucu ulogu interakcije izmedu nastavnika i ucenika u odnosu izmedu temperamenta i samopostovanja te skolskog uspjeha kod ucenika visih razreda osnovne kole na uzorku ucenika iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Djelomicno su potvrdene pretpostavke o doprinosu dimenzi a temperamenta (samokontrole i negativne afektivnosti) i nastavnicke interakcije (utjecaja i blizine) u objasn enju samopostovanja i skolskog uspjeha ucenika. Slicni odnosi medu mjerenim varijablama potvrdeni su na oba uzorka ucenika. Samokontrola, negativna afektivnost i nastavnicka blizina izravno su predvidale samopostovanje, dok je samokontrola neizravno pridonosila samopostovan u preko nastavnicke blizine. Skolskom uspjehu izravno su pridonosile samokontrola i nastavnicka blizina, a znacajan je bio i neizravni doprinos samokontrole na skolski uspjeh preko nastavnicke blizine. Rezultati istrazivanja pokazuju vaznost izravnoga doprinosa temperamenta samopostovanju i skolskom uspjehu ucenika, ali i neizravnog preko kvalitete nastavnicke interakcije. Kljucne rijeci: interakcija izmedu nastavnika i ucenika, temperament, samopostovanje, skolski uspjeh
The aim of this research was to compare the close relationships of two groups of parents, parents with a child of normative development and parents with a child with developmental disabilities. A ...total of 193 parents of 4- to 5-year-old male children participated in the study, of which 116 were parents of children of normative development and 77 parents of children with disabilities. The following measuring instruments were used to answer the research questions: State Adult Attachment Measure, Quality of Family Functioning Scale, and Social Support Scale. Non-parametric statistical procedures were used for data analysis. The results of the study indicate that close relationships among parents of children with disabilities are characterized by greater security-seeking. The quality of family functioning is the same for the two groups of parents, while parents of children with disabilities receive less support from friends. Also, the results of this study support the conclusion that mothers with a child with a disability are more likely to seek closeness from close others than fathers from the same group of parents. The findings indicate the importance of considering families as a system, especially those families with a child with a disability, which may include different programs aimed at working on family dynamics and partnerships, especially in vulnerable families.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti bliske odnose dviju skupina roditelja, roditelja koji imaju dijete normativnog razvoja i roditelja koji imaju dijete s teškoćama u razvoju. U istraživanju je ...sudjelovalo ukupno 193 roditelja muške djece starosti od četiri do pet godina od čega je 116 roditelja djece normativnog razvoja i 77 roditelja djece s teškoćama. U svrhu dobivanja odgovora na postavljena istraživačka pitanja korišteni su sljedeći mjerni instrumenti: Skala privrženosti kao stanja, Skala kvalitete obiteljskog funkcioniranja i Skala socijalne podrške, a obrada dobivenih podataka provedena je neparametrijskim statističkim postupcima. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da su bliski odnosi roditelja djece s teškoćama obilježeni većim traženjem sigurnosti. Kvaliteta obiteljskog funkcioniranja podjednaka je kod dvije skupine roditelja, dok roditelji djece s teškoćama u razvoju u manjoj mjeri dobivaju podršku prijatelja. Takoðer rezultati ovog istraživanja idu u prilog zaključku da majke koje imaju dijete s teškoćom u većoj mjeri traže prisutnost bliskih osoba u odnosu na očeve iz te skupine roditelja. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na važnost uzimanja u obzir obitelji kao sustava, osobito onih obitelji koji imaju dijete s teškoćom, što može uključivati različite programe s ciljem rada na obiteljskoj dinamici i partnerskim odnosima osobito u ranjivim obiteljima.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the level of work motivation, job satisfaction, and nursing record-keeping, and to analyse differences in job satisfaction, work motivation, and level of ...nursing record-keeping in two wards. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Methods: The study involved nurses employed in the Department of Surgery and the Department of Internal Medicine. The nurses voluntarily and anonymously completed the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale and a questionnaire that included job satisfaction and demographic information. Nursing records were taken from the health institution computer database. Results: A significant difference in motivation was observed in favor of Surgery nurses (p = 0.005), and a significant difference in job satisfaction was observed in favor of Internal Diseases Department nurses (p = 0.039). Surgery employees were significantly better at keeping nursing records (p < 0.00001). Conclusion: The level of job satisfaction and work motivation are not proportional to the level of nursing record-keeping.
Tijekom trajanja pandemije stavovi o cijepljenju protiv COVID-19 su se mijenjali, a ta je podjela bila izraženija što je tijek pandemije dulje trajao. Imali smo priliku čuti razna mišljenja i stavove ...o cijepljenju. Sudjelovali smo u mnogim raspravama koje su rezultirale iznošenjem i pozitivnih i negativnih stavova o cijepljenju protiv koronavirusa. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoje li razlike u stavovima o bolesti COVID-19 između studenata sestrinstva koji su cijepljeni i onih koji nisu, te procijeniti kakvo je povjerenje prema odlukama Nacionalnog stožera. Istraživanje je provedeno od 4. travnja do 4. svibnja 2022. godine. Kako bi se odgovorilo na postavljena pitanja, u istraživanju je korišten modificirani mjerni instrument stvoren na temelju modela zdravstvenog vjerovanja (eng. Health Beliefs model -HBM) tvrtke Wang et al. (2021.). U istraživanju je sudjelovao 271 ispitanik, studenti Preddiplomskog i Diplomskog studija sestrinstva u Republici Hrvatskoj iz Varaždina, Osijeka, Zagreba, Rijeke, Pule, Splita i Zadra, od čega je bilo 231 (85,2%) studentica i 40 (14,8%) studenata. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da studenti koji su se cijepili, situaciju s COVID-om procjenjuju ozbiljnijom. Za njih je dobrobit cijepljenja veća, manje je zapreka za cijepljenje i manje odbijaju cijepljenje od studenata koji se nisu cijepili. Nadalje, studentice izražavaju više zabrinutosti i prepreka u odnosu na studente, ali razlike u pogledu razine obrazovanja nisu dobivene. Studenti koji su se cijepili drže da bi obitelj, prijatelji, struka, Vlada i mediji trebali zagovarati i preporučiti cijepljenje, u odnosu na studente koji se nisu cijepili. Važno pitanje odnosilo se na ispitivanje povjerenja prema Nacionalnom stožeru. Ispitanici su pokazali relativno nisku razinu povjerenja, a oni studenti koji su cijepljeni imali su više povjerenja u zdravstvene stručnjake, medije i članove Vlade. Drukčiji pristup osobama kod kojih postoji zabrinutost u pogledu učinkovitosti i sigurnosti cjepiva i mogućih nuspojava, trebalo bi biti jedna od aktivnosti usmjerenih prema toj populaciji, kako bi oni mogli donijeti odluke na temelju objektivno stečenog znanja i informacija koje donosi znanost.
During the duration of the pandemic, attitudes regarding vaccination against COVID-19 changed, andthis division was more pronounced the longer the course of the pandemic lasted. We had the opportunityto hear various opinions and attitudes about vaccination. Likewise, we participated in many discussionsthat resulted in the presentation of both positive and negative views on vaccination against the corona virus.The aim of this research was to determine whether there are differences in attitudes about the diseaseCOVID-19 between nursing students who have been vaccinated and those who have not, and to assess thelevel of trust in the decisions of the National Headquarters. The research was conducted between April 4and May 4, 2022.In order to answer the questions, the study used a modified measurement instrument created on the basisof the Health Beliefs Model (HBM) by Wang et al. (2021).Two hundred seventy-one respondents of undergraduate and graduate Nursing students in the Republicof Croatia from Varaždin, Osijek, Zagreb, Rijeka, Pula, Split and Zadar took part in the research, of which231 (85.2%) were female students and 40 (14.8%) male students.The results of the research show that students who have been vaccinated assess the situation withCOVID as more serious, for them the benefit of vaccination is greater, there are fewer obstacles tovaccination and they refuse vaccination less than students who have not been vaccinated. Furthermore,female students express more concerns and obstacles compared to male students, but differences regardingthe level of education were not obtained. Students who have been vaccinated believe that family, friends,the profession, the Government and the media should advocate and recommend vaccination in comparisonto students who have not been vaccinated.An important question is related to the examination of trust towards the National Headquarters.Respondents showed a relatively low level of trust, and those students who were vaccinated had more trustin health experts, the media and members of the Government.A different approach to people who have concerns about the effectiveness and safety of vaccines andpossible side effects should be one of the activities aimed at this population so that they can make decisionsbased on objectively acquired knowledge and information provided by science.
