The information obtained will provide a basis for further research. Methods: The data were collected with the help of keywords by PCC and using Boolean operators that were searched for in scientific electronics databases. The data were collected using keywords that were selected based on a research question and targeted at a specific population, concept and context. Four scientific databases were included: PubMed, ProQuest, OVID, EBSCOhost. Results: A total of 243 articles were identified, plus another 10 records were identified from the reference list of retrieved articles. After analysis, 51 articles were subjected to a critical analysis and 14 studies were selected for final use for the scoping review. Conclusions: A literature review confirmed that the topic of pain assessment in childhood is becoming increasingly important. All the presented pain assessment tools assess pain in different ways, but always with the same goal: to properly assess a child’s pain and then treat it as best as possible. Particularly with young children, it is advisable to include more methods of pain assessment and to assess more aspects of pain to provide them with the right treatment.","PeriodicalId":17818,"journal":{"name":"Kontakt","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44665505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two of these factors are the level of education and experience. These factors can significantly affect the instrument’s objectivity. In terms of providing quality and specific geriatric care, having objective evaluation tools and applying the results are essential. Objective: The research aimed to determine how nurse education and experience affect the objectivity of evaluation tools. Another aim was to determine how education and experience affected the assessment of selected areas. Methods: The research was conducted using a quantitative survey involving 501 nurses from the South Bohemian Region. The data was obtained using a non-standardized questionnaire that focused explicitly on the use of evaluation tools. Results: The results show that nurses with higher levels of education have more experience in using evaluation tools and consider the tools to be useful and effective. The same was confirmed for nurses who have more nursing experience. Conclusions: Evaluation tools are an essential part of the nursing process, and an emphasis should be placed on learning how to use these tools during nurse training. In the context of geriatric nursing, nurses need special education for the various geriatric specialties. This is also true for the use of geriatric evaluations. In clinical practice, it is necessary to use evaluation tools systematically, logically, and, above all, to implement the results into care plans.","PeriodicalId":17818,"journal":{"name":"Kontakt","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42041772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preparation for motherhood is very important for women and it gives them a sense of security and self-confidence. During the stay in the maternity ward, mothers receive a lot of information from the medical staff about self-care after delivery and childcare. The Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS) for postpartum mothers is a tool used to assess the quality of women’s health education after delivery. Aim: The aim of the research was to translate and analyze the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale. Methods: The study was conducted from June to October 2017 among 142 adult postpartum women on the day of discharge from the maternity ward of Clinical Provincial Hospital no 2 in Rzeszow, Poland. Cross-sectional study and questionnaire technique were used to collect data. Results: The Cronbach Alpha measure was used to assess the internal consistency of the scale. A Cronbach Alpha value which is greater than 0.7 indicates that the scale has high reliability. Conclusions: The analysis confirms that in Polish conditions the questionnaire has a very high reliability in assessing the quality of health education of mothers after delivery.","PeriodicalId":17818,"journal":{"name":"Kontakt","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44128976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scientific research has shown the existence of several factors involved in decreasing bone density in post-menopausal women. Goal: The aim of the review study is to map in detail the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in the context of postmenopausal age, postmenopausal duration, women’s BMI and selected behavioural factors. Methods: Relevant sources were selected in 2020 using search services and sources in electronic databases (PubMed, BioMed Central, Web of Science). The analytical review was performed using PRISMA and PICO tools. Results and discussion: In analysing the available studies, we found that the most frequently observed significant findings showed a relationship between the prevalence of osteoporosis and age at menopause and the prevalence of osteoporosis and advancing age in postmenopause. Opinions differ on the influence of BMI as a protective or risk factor. Some behavioural factors that are preventable can have a significant effect on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The results of several studies suggest an association between the prevalence of osteoporosis and smoking and alcohol consumption. Conclusions: Menopause is a critical period for bone health. The incidence of osteoporosis increases with increasing age of postmenopausal women. As part of prevention, it is recommended to have a suitable type of diet, exposure to sunlight, regular exercise and to stop smoking and drinking alcohol.","PeriodicalId":17818,"journal":{"name":"Kontakt","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47448369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of EBD that brought these children into residential facilities was influenced by a variety of factors. One of such risk factors can be an attachment disorder influencing behavior, socialization and resilience. The aim of the research was to determine the prevalence of attachment style, anxiety and avoidance of vulnerable adolescents towards father and mother as possible determinants of behavioral disorders. The research group consisted of 204 respondents aged 15–19 years. The respondents were clients from 15 residential facilities from all over the Czech Republic. We used the ECR-RS self-assessment questionnaire containing 36 items to determine attachment to emotional targets (mother/ father). We processed the data using descriptive statistical procedures using the ANOVA or Spearman coefficient procedure. Findings regarding attachment indicate a high degree of avoidance and anxiety in vulnerable adolescents. In most respondents, an insecure attachment is prevalent. The most represented is preoccupied attachment to the mother in 36%. Only 14% of the examined adolescents formed a secure attachment to the mother. Complex intervention and psychotherapy should focus on alleviating anxiety and avoidance, developing a secure attachment, and enhancing the resilient qualities of vulnerable adolescents.","PeriodicalId":17818,"journal":{"name":"Kontakt","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70050861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
