Abstract:Objective: To ascertain the incidence of burnout syndrome in Nurses working in Neurological Nursing. Burnout Syndrome (SV) often occurs in Neurological Nursing, where the Nurses are in circumstances associated with suffering and death. Design: For the diagnosis of burnout syndrome we used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Respondents consisted of Nurses n = 120 working at the Neurological Department, in a hospital and ambulances belonging to those wards in Slovakia. Results: In our study, out of n = 120 Nurses working at the Departments of Oncology 50, 83% showed high levels of burnout in their degree of emotional burnout (EE). We found that the age of Nurses has an impact on the formation of burnout syndrome: where the age range was 31-40 years old, 62.16% showed high degrees of burnout in the degree of depersonalization (DP); 64.86% showed a medium degree in the degree of personal satisfaction (PAT). The relation between seniority in neurological care and burnout syndrome is not confirmed. However the relation between the total length of practice and the degree of burnout is confirmed. Concusions: Based on the findings, the management of Neurological and Oncological Nursing it can be recommended that more focus be placed on programs of preventive measures in the field of burnout among Nurses.

Aim: The study aim was to establish the differences in the levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis, to examine differences related to gender, and to examine the relationship of levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life to age and personality traits. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used for data collection, and the Mini International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) was used for identification of five personality factors. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between patients with acne and patients with atopic dermatitis regarding levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life. In terms of age, a difference was found only in the incidence of anxiety in the group of patients with acne; higher anxiety was found in women. There were no statistically significant differences in anxiety, depression, and quality of life related to age in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis. Significant relationships of the variables to personality traits were found in both groups. Conclusion: Knowing the factors influencing the incidence of mental health problems in patients with acne and atopic dermatitis helps in early nursing diagnosis of such problems, which can eliminate the negative impact of mental health problems on patients' quality of life.

cancer doplneného o položky vlastnej konštrukcie. Štatistické spracovanie získaných údajov bolo uskutočnené algoritmami, ktoré sa nachádzajú v aplikáciách STATISTICA a MS Excel. Celkový súbor tvorilo 1715 respondentov zo všetkých krajov Slovenska mužského a ženského pohlavia vo veku 50-59 rokov (mladší respondenti v počte 1120) a vo veku 60 rokov a viac (starší respondenti v počte 595), bez prítomnosti nádorového ochorenia v osobnej anamnéze a bez zdravotníckeho vzdelania. Zistili sme vysoký výskyt niektorých vonkajších rizikových faktorov kolorektálneho karcinómu: nadhmotnosť a obezitu malo 60,36 % mladších a 75,12 % starších respondentov, 47,32 % mladších a 41,18 % starších respondentov uviedlo zvýšenú konzumáciu červeného mäsa, 76,52 % mladších a 73,61 % starších respondentov nekonzumovalo odporúčanú dennú dávku zeleniny, 47,77 % mladších a 57,65 % starších respondentov nemalo dostatočnú pohybovú aktivitu. Zistili sme, že existuje štatisticky významný vzťah medzi vekom a hodnotou BMI, konzumáciou červeného mäsa, fajčením a pohybovou aktivitou (p < 0,05). V prípade veku a premenných konzumácia zeleniny a konzumácia alkoholu nebol potvrdený štatisticky významný vzťah. V slovenskej populácii je vysoký výskyt vonkajších rizikových faktorov. Odporúčame realizovať stratégie primárnej prevencie na úrovni jednotlivca, komunity či spoločnosti.
