Opis: Background: There are many methods available for measuring social support and quality of life (QoL) of adolescents, of these, the KIDSCREEN tools are most widely used. Thus, we aimed to translate and validate the KIDSCREEN-27 scale for the usage among adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years old in Slovenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2852 adolescents in primary and secondary school from November 2019 to January 2020 in Slovenia. 6-steps method of validation was used to test psychometric properties of the KIDSCREEN-27 scale. We checked descriptive statistics, performed a Mokken scale analysis, parametric item response theory, factor analysis, classical test theory and total (sub)scale scores. Results: All five subscales of the KIDSCREEN-27 formed a unidimensional scale with good homogeneity and reliability. The confirmatory factor analysis showed poor fit in user model versus baseline model metrics (CFI = 0.847; TLI = 0.862) and good fit in root mean square error (RMSEA = 0.072; p(χ2) < 0.001). A scale reliability was calculated using Cronbach's α (0.93), beta (0.86), G6 (0.95) and omega (0.93). Conclusions: The questionnaire showed average psychometric properties and can be used among adolescents in Slovenia to find out about their quality of life. Further research is needed to explore why fit in user model metrics is poor.

Opis: Background: Mental well-being is a state in which an individual acts positively, feels good, copes with the daily stressors and contributes to his/her community. Adolescents are a population who experience the various stressors brought on by growing up. The purpose of the doctoral dissertation is to determine the mental well-being of adolescents in correlation with the support of family, friends, teachers, and nurses. Methods: The research was based on the paradigm of pragmatism which supports the usage of quantitative and qualitative approaches using mixed methods. The quantitative part of the research included 2 972 adolescents. The survey method was used, descriptive and inferential statistics and presentation of the results were done with the help of tables, charts and figures. In the qualitative part of the research, data were collected using the interview method. Interviews were conducted with 5 focus groups involving 16 adolescents, 8 parents, 6 teachers, 3 legislators, and 6 nurses. The data were analysed following the steps of Corbin & Strauss (2008). Results: The mental well-being of adolescents is positively related (r = 0.624) to their social support. The mental well-being (r = -0.286) and social support (r = -0.239) of adolescents declines with age. Adolescents are of the opinion that the role of the nurse is to talk to them, help them, advise them, and explain difficulties that bother them. The mental well-being of adolescents is related to their interaction and interpersonal relations with parents, friends, and teachers. In ensuring the mental well-being of adolescents, we must consider the model multidimensional well-being. The Model of Interpersonal Relationships is proposed, which is formed based on the results of quantitative and qualitative part of the research and taking into account the concepts of the Theory of Interpersonal Relationships (Peplau, 1952) and the model of Multidimensional Well-being (Sarriera & Bedin, 2017). Discussion: Mental well-being is an important and relatively new concept in nursing. Adolescents’ mental well-being is closely linked to interpersonal relationships and a safe environment in which they can express themselves. Adolescents and parents do not obtain the necessary professional help in a timely manner. There is also a need for additional education on the mental well-being of adolescents among adolescents, parents, teachers, and nurses. Conclusion: Interpersonal relationships between adolescents, family, friends, teachers, and nurses are of major importance for ensuring mental well-being. There is a need for further research to improve the mental well-being of adolescents worldwide.

Opis: First international Advanced Nursing Practice conference in Slovenia brought world leading academic scholars to exchange and share their experiences on Advance Nursing Practice (ANP) education and practice. Special emphasis will be put on presentation of competencies, roles and scope of practice. Aim of our conference was to bring ANP education and especially the nature of ANP practice closer to an academic and clinical environment as well to decision making bodies in government and other professional groups in Slovenia. Numerous studies have shown that advanced practice nurses can provide quality patient care by role extension or expansion, contribute to efficacy, cost efficiency, patient satisfaction, reduced (re)hospitalizations, and reduced mortality. Experts from countries where ANP is well established and experts from countries where ANP is in the beginning stages of development participated in round table discussion. Conclusions of the round table discussion produced future direction for development of ANP in Slovenia.

Opis: Uvod: Transfuzija krvi in krvnih pripravkov je eden pogostejših načinov zdravljenja različnih bolezni in bolezenskih stanj. Je kompleksna intervencija, ki ima lahko številne zaplete in posledice. Transfuzija se pri nas izvaja predvsem v zdravstvenih institucijah na sekundarnem in terciarnem nivoju zdravstvenega varstva in jo izvajajo diplomirane medicinske sestre v multidisciplinarnem sodelovanju z ostalimi izvajalci v verigi postopkov transfuzije. Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati percepcijo in mnenje medicinskih sester o varni transfuziji krvi in krvnih pripravkov. Metode: Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji s filozofijo pozitivizma. Izvedli smo opazovalno študijo, podatke pa smo zbrali s pomočjo prilagojenega anketnega vprašalnika. Uporabili smo priložnostno vzorčenje. Za analizo podatkov smo uporabili metode deskriptivne in inferenčne statistike. Rezultati: Rezultati so pokazali, da med medicinskimi sestrami, ki pogosto ali vsak dan izvajajo aplikacijo krvnih pripravkov, ni statistično pomembnih razlik v poznavanju protokolov in standardov v povezavi z varno aplikacijo transfuzije (p = 0,448). Ugotovili smo tudi, da je največje zavedanje medicinskih sester o varni transfuziji v fazi poznavanja transfuzijskih reakcij (x ̅ = 4,85; s = 0,200), najmanjše pa v fazi pred transfuzijo (x ̅ = 4,01; s = 0,446). Diskusija in zaključek: Zavedanje medicinskih sester o varni transfuziji krvi in krvnih pripravkov je zelo pomembno. To se doseže predvsem z rednim izobraževanjem in nadgrajevanjem že obstoječega znanja o celotnem procesu transfuzije v vseh fazah.
