2. Kadrovska vzdržnost sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe v skupnostiAleksandra Jančič, 2025, master's thesis Abstract: Uvod: Staranje prebivalstva neposredno vpliva na povpraševanje po storitvah dolgotrajne oskrbe. Dostopnost dolgotrajne oskrbe in zagotavljanje zadostnega števila kadra predstavlja izziv številnim državam po svetu. Namen zaključnega dela je ugotoviti ukrepe in strategije za zagotavljanje kadrovske vzdržnosti sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe.
Metode: Pregledana je bila znanstvena literatura glede na vključitvene in izključitvene kriterije v mednarodnih podatkovnih bazah PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL in ScienceDirect. Uporabljena je bila opisna metoda dela. Iskanje je prikazano s pomočjo smernic diagrama PRISMA. Raziskave, vključene v končno analizo, so prikazane s pomočjo evalvacijske tabele, kritična ocena je narejena s pomočjo ocenjevalnega orodja JBI, in izvedena vsebinska analiza.
Rezultati: V končno analizo je bilo izbranih 13 raziskav od 792. Pri vsebinski analizi smo identificirali glavno kategorijo Kadrovska vzdržnost sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe v skupnosti ter tri podkategorije, ki predstavljajo dejavnike, ki vplivajo na kadrovsko vzdržnost sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe, in sicer: dejavniki, ki spodbujajo zaposlovanje ali ohranjajo zaposlene, dejavniki, ki zavirajo zaposlovanje ali povzročajo fluktuacijo ter ukrepe in strategije za stabilno kadrovsko strukturo. Najpomembnejši dejavnik in ukrep za zadržanje in ohranjanje kadra je podpora vodstva in dobri delovni pogoji.
Diskusija in zaključek: Zelo pomembno je, da management pozna dejavnike zadržanja/pridobivanje kadra ter dejavnike, ki vplivajo na fluktuacijo in odhod zaposlenih ter najpomembnejše ukrepe in strategije, ki bodo zagotavljali kadrovsko vzdržnost sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe.

3. Review and comparative evaluation of mobile apps for cardiovascular risk estimation: usability evaluation using mHealth app usability questionnaireAdrijana Svenšek, Lucija Gosak, Mateja Lorber, Gregor Štiglic, Nino Fijačko, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and their prevention is a major public health priority. Detecting health issues early and assessing risk levels can significantly improve the chances of reducing mortality. Mobile apps can help estimate and manage CVD risks by providing users with personalized feedback, education, and motivation. Incorporating visual analysis into apps is an effective method for educating society. However, the usability evaluation and inclusion of visualization of these apps are often unclear and variable. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to review and compare the usability of existing apps designed to estimate CVD risk using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). This is not a traditional usability study involving user interaction design, but rather an assessment of how effectively these applications meet usability standards as defined by the MAUQ. Methods: First, we used predefined criteria to review 16 out of 2238 apps to estimate CVD risk in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Based on the apps' characteristics (ie, developed for health care professionals or patient use) and their functions (single or multiple CVD risk calculators), we conducted a descriptive analysis. Then we also compared the usability of existing apps using the MAUQ and calculated the agreement among 3 expert raters. Results: Most apps used the Framingham Risk Score (8/16, 50%) and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk (7/16, 44%) prognostic models to estimate CVD risk. The app with the highest overall MAUQ score was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 6.76, SD 0.25), and the lowest overall MAUQ score was obtained for the CardioRisk Calculator (mean 3.96, SD 0.21). The app with the highest overall MAUQ score in the "ease-of-use" domain was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 7, SD 0); in the domain "interface and satisfaction," it was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 6.67, SD 0.33); and in the domain "usefulness," it was the ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus (mean 6.80, SD 0.32). Conclusions: We found that the Framingham Risk Score is the most widely used prognostic model in apps for estimating CVD risk. The "ease-of-use" domain received the highest ratings. While more than half of the apps were suitable for both health care professionals and patients, only a few offered sophisticated visualizations for assessing CVD risk. Less than a quarter of the apps included visualizations, and those that did were single calculators. Our analysis of apps showed that they are an appropriate tool for estimating CVD risk.

4. Validation of a Slovenian version of the healthy lifestyle and personal control questionnaire (HLPCQ) for use with patients in family medicineAdrijana Svenšek, Gregor Štiglic, Mateja Lorber, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Background Chronic non-communicable diseases are the world’s leading cause of death and disability. The
emerging field of lifestyle medicine requires equipping healthcare professionals with instruments, knowledge, skills
and competencies. Measuring an individual’s lifestyle with a valid and reliable instrument is the first step in promoting
it. The aim of the study was to validate the Slovenian adaptation of the Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control
Questionnaire (HLPCQ).
Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 666 questionnaire participants, and they were adult
participants (aged 18 and above) from family medicine practices with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risk factors (e.g.,
hypertension, high cholesterol) but without a diagnosis of acute CVDs. The questionnaire included demographic
data and anthropological measures and a translated English HLPCQ questionnaire. The instrument was translated
using the forward-backwards translation method. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the
World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. In addition to assessing the construct validity of the questionnaire,
exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine content and face validity, and internal
consistency reliability.
Results The mean age of male participants was 41.34 (± 13.220) years, the mean age of female participants was
40.31 (± 11.905) years. The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.852, and all questionnaire subscales had positive correlations.
Sampling adequacy was confirmed by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index (0.851), and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was
significant (χ² = 4647.694, p < 0.001), indicating suitability for Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA revealed a fivefactor solution, accounting for 50.67% of the total variance.
Conclusions The most influential factors for a healthy lifestyle were daily routine, healthy dietary choices, avoidance
of harmful dietary habits, organized physical activity, and social and mental balance. The Slovenian version had high
factor validity and reliability. It can be used in Slovenian Community Health Centre to assess an individual’s control over various lifestyle dimensions. The instrument also holds potential for use in public health initiatives, supporting
early identification of lifestyle-related risk factors and promoting preventive care strategies in the primary care setting.

5. Higiena spanja zdravstvenih delavcev zaposlenih v večizmenskem deluGlorija Drobec, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Uvod: Posledice nespečnosti se odražajo na posameznikovem življenju v službi in doma.
Najpogostejše posledice večizmenskega dela v zdravstvu so motnje spanja. Posledice
slabe spalne higiene vplivajo na duševno in fizično zdravje posameznika. Namen
zaključnega dela je ugotoviti, kakšna je higiena spanja zdravstvenih delavcev
zaposlenih v večizmenskem delu.
Metode: Za izdelavo zaključnega dela je bil izveden sistematičen pregled literature v
mednarodnih podatkovnih bazah PubMed, Medline in Google Schoolar. Uporabljena je
bila opisna metoda dela. Glede na izbrani iskalni niz in vključitvene kriterije je bilo v
analizo vključenih trinajst znanstvenih virov. Za analizo je bila uporabljena analiza
vsebine.
Rezultati: Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je motnja spanja najpogostejša težava izmenskih
delavcev. K temu se pridružujejo kronične bolezni in duševne motnje. Z vsebinsko
analizo sta bili oblikovani dve glavni temi: posledice slabe higiene spanja in skrb za
higieno spanja. Nereden ritem spanja vodi do slabe higiene spanja in povzroča
dolgotrajne posledice pri izmenskih delavcih. Prilagoditve ljudi na izmensko delo se
razlikujejo glede na spol, starost in tudi na kronotip, ki ga ima posameznik.
Razprava in zaključek: Za vsakega izmenskega delavca v zdravstvu je pomembno, da
ohranja kvaliteto dela, kar je zaradi zaporednih nočnih izmen težko. Higiena spanja je
tako po ugotovitvah slaba.
Keywords: kakovost spanja, higiena spanja, spalno okolje, zdravstveni delavci, izmensko delo

6. Well-being and satisfaction of nurses in Slovenian hospitals : a cross-sectional studyMateja Lorber, Sonja Treven, Damijan Mumel, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: Introduction: Well-being is one of the most important factors in whether nurses decide to remain in the nursing profession. This study aims to examine well-being and satisfaction among nurses working in Slovenian hospitals and to identify the related demographic factors.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study uses standardised instruments. The sample included 640 nurses working in Slovenian hospitals. The difference between individual variables were analysed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Results: Nurses self-assessed their satisfaction and well-being as moderate. Forty-seven per cent of nurses were satisfied with their job, 49% assessed their psychological well-being as good, 52% were often exposed to stress at the workplace and 30% were always exposed to stress at the workplace. Levels of job satisfaction (p=0.031), psychological well-being (p=0.029) and subjective well-being (p=0.014) were found to differ significantly according to level of education, while levels of job satisfaction (p=0.005), life satisfaction (p<0.001), psychological well-being (p<0.001) and subjective well-being (p<0.001) were also found to differ according to years of nursing service and from hospital to hospital (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The key finding of the study is that nurses are moderately satisfied with their work and life and that they display moderate levels of psychological and subjective well-being. Hospitals can be successful and achieve the goals of the organisation if their employees are satisfied with work and enjoy good levels of well-being. Hospital management have to recognise the importance of ensuring that nurses and other employees are satisfied and healthy.

7. Zadovoljstvo zaposlenih v zdravstveni in babiški negi oddelka za perinatologijo v povezavi s pojavom sindroma izgorelostiKlavdija Lesnika, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Uvod: Zaposleni v zdravstveni in babiški negi spadajo v skupino poklicev, ki so v intenzivnem razmerju dela z žensko, otrokom in družino. Srečujejo se z obremenjujočim delovnim okoljem, ki ima vpliv na zadovoljstvo in proces izgorevanja. Namen zaključnega dela je ugotoviti stopnjo in razloge zadovoljstva zaposlenih v povezavi s sindromom izgorelosti.
Metode: V teoretičnem delu je uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela. Empirični del temelji na kvantitativni metodologiji. Kot raziskovalni instrument sta bila uporabljena anketna vprašalnika za oceno zadovoljstva (MSQ) in stopnjo izgorelosti (CBI). Raziskava je potekala med zaposlenimi na Oddelku za perinatologijo terciarne ravni zdravstvenega varstva. Dobljeni podatki so bili statistično obdelani in analizirani z Microsoft Excel 2013 in IBM SPSS 29.0.
Rezultati: Rezultati kažejo, da so zaposleni navedli zmerno raven zadovoljstva na delovnem mestu. Nezadovoljstvo se je izražalo v politiki dela ustanove, plačilu in količini dela. Udeleženci so navedli nizko stopnja izgorelosti. Torej obstaja statistično pomembna povezava med zadovoljstvom na delovnem mestu in pojavom izgorelosti (p < 0,001).
Razprava in Zaključek: Nezadovoljstvo zaposlenih predstavlja višjo možnost razvoja sindroma izgorelosti, s čimer vpliva na obravnavo žensk, otrok in družin. Potrebno je iskanje strategij obvladovanja stresa in osveščanje o sindromu izgorelosti med zaposlenimi v zdravstveni in babiški negi.

8. Zadovoljstvo z oskrbo v domovih za starejšeMateja Sever, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Namen zaključnega dela je bil ugotoviti stopnjo zadovoljstva starejših v domovih za starejše z domsko oskrbo v avstrijski štajerski regiji.
Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela. Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji raziskovanja na podlagi anketnega vprašalnika med 207 starejšimi v dveh domovih starejših v avstrijski štajerski regiji. Pridobljeni podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo opisne statistike, t-testom, ANOVA testom ter Pearsonovim koeficientom korelacije.
Rezultati:. Ugotovljena je bila visoka stopnja zadovoljstva med bivanjem v domski oskrbi, saj so anketiranci visoko ocenjevali vse dejavnike zadovoljstva, ki so od najvišje ocenjenega v padajočem vrstnem redu »čistoča in higiena« (SD = 4,6), z enako stopnjo ocenjeni (SD = 4, 4) »hrana in pijača«, »bivanje in življenje«, »aktivnosti in prireditve« ter »zaposleni«, z enako stopnjo (SD = 4,3) jim sledijo »sprejem in vtis«, »spremljanje, oskrba, nega« ter »splošno zadovoljstvo«. Nekoliko nižjo povprečno oceno (SD = 4,1) je prejel dejavnik »komunikacija in informacije«, najnižjo povprečno oceno (SD = 4,0) pa sta prejela dejavnika »atmosfera in dobro počutje« ter »bivanje in življenje«. Statistično značilne razlike v zadovoljstvu starejših med raziskovalnima ustanovama niso bile ugotovljene (p = 0,133). Prav tako niso bile ugotovljene statistične razlike v zadovoljstvu z življenjem glede na glede na spol (p = 0,554) in starost (p = 0,108).
Razprava in sklep: Zavedanje pomena zadovoljevanja potreb starejših znotraj domov starejših naj bo tudi v prihodnje pomembna odskočna deska za njihovo uresničevanje, s ciljem zadovoljstva starejših, ki iz različnih razlogov ne morejo bivati doma.

9. Pojavnost izpuščene zdravstvene nege v času epidemije COVIDA-19Sara Bedenik, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Uvod: Pojavnost izpuščene zdravstvene nege je pomemben kazalnik kakovosti zdravstvene oskrbe, katerega povečanje med pandemijo lahko vpliva na varnost pacientov in zadovoljstvo zdravstvenih delavcev. Namen raziskave je bil raziskati pojavnost izpuščene zdravstvene nege med epidemijo COVIDA-19.
Metode: Pregled literature je bil izveden v skladu s smernicami PRISMA. Iskalna strategija je vključevala uporabo ključnih besed za iskanje relevantnih člankov v podatkovnih bazah PubMed, CINAHL in Cochrane Library. Vključeni so bili raziskovalni članki in sistematični pregledi, ki so obravnavali kvalitativne, kvantitativne ter mešane metode in so bili objavljeni do junija 2023.
Rezultati: Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se je pojavnost izpuščene zdravstvene nege med epidemijo COVIDA-19 večinoma obdržala na enaki ravni ali rahlo povečala v primerjavi z obdobjem pred epidemijo. Na osnovi vsebinske analize so bile identificirane tri teme sekundarnega nivoja: dejavniki, ki privedejo k izpuščeni zdravstveni negi, izpuščene aktivnosti zdravstvene nege in posledice izpuščene zdravstvene nege. Najpogosteje izpuščene aktivnosti so gibanje 3-krat dnevno oz. po naročilu, obračanja pacienta na 2 uri, ustna nega, emocionalna podpora in poučevanje pacienta. Povečanje izpuščene zdravstvene nege je bilo povezano z dejavniki, kot so pomanjkanje kadra, stresno delovno okolje in slaba komunikacija.
Razprava in zaključek: Epidemija COVIDA-19 je izpostavila težave v zdravstvenem sistemu, zlasti izpuščeno zdravstveno nego. Pomembne naloge, kot so gibanje, obračanje, čustvena podpora in izobraževanje pacientov, so bile pogosto zanemarjene. Izboljšanje delovnega okolja in komunikacije je ključno za boljšo kakovost oskrbe
Keywords: izpuščena zdravstvena nega, epidemija COVIDA-19, pojavnost izpuščene zdravstvene nege

10. Immersive technology and hand hygiene : scoping reviewDominika Muršec, Sonja Šostar-Turk, Urška Rozman, Mateja Lorber, Nino Fijačko, Dominika Vrbnjak, 2024, review article Abstract: Background The use of immersive technology in healthcare education is on the rise, yet its impact on learner engagement, knowledge retention, and specifically in areas like hand hygiene training, remains underexplored. The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the existing studies of immersive technology in hand hygiene training of healthcare providers and health professions students. Methods A scoping review following the Levac et al. framework was conducted. The literature search was performed in databases PubMed, CINAHL Ultimate, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Web of Science in addition to Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertation & Theses. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis: Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRIMSA-ScR) guideline was used to report the results. We analysed data using tabular and descriptive summary. Results In the final analysis 11 studies from seven countries were included. Most of the studies (n = 10, 90,91%) used virtual reality in hand hygiene training of healthcare providers and health professions students. Most studies have found that immersive technology is useful in teaching hand hygiene (n = 6, 54,55%). There are some theories and concepts that support the teaching of hand hygiene with immersive technology, but most of the research is not supported by them. Theories or concepts were included in two studies (18,18%). Conclusion Immersive technology, especially virtual reality, enhances hand hygiene learning and engagement compared to traditional methods. However, most studies lack theoretical support. To advance this field, exploring immersive technology for further research and incorporating relevant theories is encouraged. Additionally, conducting a thorough cost-effectiveness analysis and establishing a robust evaluation framework, encompassing both short-term and long-term outcomes, will be beneficial for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of immersive technology in hand hygiene education.
