The aim of this literature review was to synthesize the literature regarding nursing students’ perceptions of caring based on the available primary research. Design: A literature review. Methods: Six electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, SCOPUS, Wiley Online Library, and SAGE) were searched. Articles were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. A thematic synthesis framework was applied in this review. Results: Thirteen primary studies were included and synthesized, and seven analytical themes emerged. The analytical themes were: caring as presence, caring as support, caring as professionalism, caring as communication, caring as establishing relationships, and patient well-being as a positive outcome of caring. Conclusion: Caring was perceived variously in this review, and consisted of physical aspects, emotional aspects, and professional aspects, together with obedience to the nursing codes of ethics. Finally, it was felt that being caring to patients should not mean that nurses neglect their own self-care.","PeriodicalId":38129,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45533936","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}

Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Methods: A total of 206 women were included in the study. The mean age of respondents was 30.9 years (SD = 4.8; range: 20–44 years.). The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Postpartum Partner Support Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale were used to measure the main observed variables. The questionnaire was supplemented with socio-demographic, health-related, and obstetric data. Results: The linear regression model showed that significant predictors of postpartum depression were: lack of support person during labor [ β = -0.105; 95% CI = (-0.754; -0.030)]; lower education [ β = -0.139; 95% CI = (-2.256; -0.407)]; lower partner support [ β = -0.154; 95% CI = (-0.115; -0.025)]; and higher perceived stress [ β = 0.755; 95% CI = (0.470; 0.615)]. Perceived stress was deemed to be the most significant predictor of increased depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Identifying mothers who perceive low support from their partner, or who experience high levels of stress and depression, and, subsequently, offering effective psychological support is important in helping to maintain the psychological and mental wellbeing of mothers.","PeriodicalId":38129,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46044624","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}

Design: The descriptive study. Methods: This was a descriptive study comprising students in their second, third, and fourth years in the Faculty of Health Sciences during the spring term of the 2015–2016 academic year. An explanation of the aim of this study was provided to the participants, and the written approval of 213 students was obtained before the study was commenced. A Personal Information Form and the Perception of Aggression Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis Test were used in data analysis. Results: The mean age of the students was 21.61 (± 6.93). Most students (98.1%) had received no training on how to interact with angry or aggressive individuals, 11.3% thought that they were unable to provide care to aggressive individuals, and 21.6% wished to receive training on interacting with such individuals. More than half of the students (54.4%) reported that they were unable to interact with angry and aggressive individuals. The mean score of the functional sub-dimension was 3.16 (± 0.59), and the mean score of the dysfunctional sub-dimension was 2.35 (± 0.49). Conclusion: Student nurses are often the target of angry and aggressive behavior during their clinical practice, are negatively mentally affected when exposed to aggression, and do not receive enough instruction in how to engage with aggressive individuals.

The role of midwives in the then Austrian Empire, which comprised most of Central Europe, was firstly defined as early as 1552 by the order of Ordopolitiae, issued by Ferdinand I of Habsburg, Holy Roman emperor (Zalai, 1973). In 1799, the first legal order for the provision of health care, Taxa Pharmaceutica, came into force. Article XIV of the Act of 1876 on the Organization of Public Health further tightened the qualification requirements for midwives as a regular course at university or a specialized school (Falisová & Morovicsová, 2015).
