The aim of this review was to search the available literature about the experiences and attitudes of family/carers of ICU patients diagnosed with delirium during hospitalization. Methods: A scopi…
Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes towards Biosimilar Medicines as Part of Evidence-Based Nursing Practice—International Pilot Study within the Project Biosimilars Nurses Guide Version 2.0

Nurses play a key role in the education, administration, pharmacovigilance and management of the side effects of biosimilars. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards biosimilar drugs in different countries. Methods: An international cross-sectional study was conducted from No…
Non-Medical Factors Associated with the Outcome of Treatment of Chronic Non-Malignant Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study
The typical patient with a poor pain management outcome is retired, presents depressive behavior; their pain disturbs general activity and sleeping. Moreover, they have a physically disturbed quality of life and require self-treatment due to the inaccessibility of doctors and therapies. The principle of treatment of patients with chronic, non-malignant pain should take into account a biopsychosocial approach with individually adjusted procedures
Nurses’ Knowledge about Delirium in the Group of Intensive Care Units Patients
Nurses have no knowledge of the factors contributing to the development of delirium, are unable to communicate with such patients and, most of all, do not know the consequences of the actions taken
Erasmus+ Program and Nursing Students’ Sense of Coherence, Well-Being, and School Success
Background: An international exchange program is an increasing phenomenon across Europe. Any opportunity for students to work or study abroad whilst undertaking their degree program could have a positive impact on their well-being, professional development, and general competences. Methods: The study was conducted on a cohort of 99 nursing students from the School of Nursing, who were followed before and after a one-month Erasmus+ mobility period…

The Docimologically Based Evaluation of Knowledge in Vocational Education of Healthcare Professionals / Dokimološki utemeljeno vrednovanje znanja u strukovnom obrazovanju zdravstvenih radnika
Diversity of teaching curriculum in vocational subjects requires the application ofdifferent didactic-methodical approaches to teaching, and thus different methods forstudents’ knowledge evaluation. Objective assessment of knowledge is the imperativeof the quality vocational education of healthcare professionals; in the evaluation ofstudents’ progress and final assessment of students’ knowledge, the formative andsummative methods are commonly use…
The Polish Version of the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (NuDesc PL)-Experience of Using in Nursing Practice in Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit
This study contributed to the development of the Polish version of the scale (NuDESC PL) which is now used as the Polish screening tool for delirium detection. The availability of an easy-to-use nurse-based delirium instrument is a prerequisite for widespread implementation
Knowledge of Sepsis in Nursing Students—A Cross-Sectional Study
The ability of nursing students to recognize and respond to the deterioration in a patient's condition due to sepsis is very important, so appropriate education about sepsis is essential. We recommend a greater representation of sepsis content in the core curriculum of nursing students' education in terms of theoretical instruction and clinical and simulation exercises
Where to Look for a Remedy? Burnout Syndrome and its Associations with Coping and Job Satisfaction in Critical Care Nurses—A Cross-Sectional Study
The association between job satisfaction and burnout in nurses urges hospital management teams to consider actions focused on job satisfaction, probably modifications of the work environment. Given that passive coping may increase the incidence of burnout, it is recommendable for active coping to be implemented in nurses' training programmes as an essential element of capacity building aimed at reducing the incidence of burnout in nurses
Occurrence of Delirium during Ecmo Therapy in a Critical Care Unit in Poland—A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study
Delirium in patients undergoing ECMO therapy was confirmed by both the NuDESC and DOSS. Factors such as thirst and sleep disturbance after ECMO therapy were shown to influence the occurrence of delirium. The diagnosis of delirium using standardized scales is possible provided that more tests are carried out. Research should be conducted to determine whether the NuDESC is equivalent to the DOSS
