Cilj. Studija je sprovedena da utvrdi navike u ishrani kod zdravstvenih i prosvjetnih radnika u radi bližeg uvida u nutritivni obrazac kod ovih profesija, što bi unapredilo teorijska znanja u ovoj oblasti i planiranje i sprovođenje preventivnih mera u ciljnim populacionim grupama. Metode. Svi zdravstveni radnici zaposleni u Domu zdravlja ,,Dr Nika Labović"u Beranama i svi zaposleni prosvjetni radnici u Osnovnoj školi ,,Vuk Kardžić" u Beranama su popunili anketu o ishrani. Podaci su prikupljeni prospektivno i analizirani metodama deskriptivne statistike i testiranja hipoteze. Rezultati. Ukupno je bilo 180 odraslih ispitanika oba pola (109 zdravstvenih i 71 prosvetni radnik), u životnom dobu od 43.70±11.90 (srednja vrednost±standardna devijacija) u grupi zdravstvenih radnika i 42.29±10.90 godine u grupi prosvetnih radnika. Nije bilo statistički značajne razlike između grupa u vrsti masnoća za pripremanje hrane, učestalost pripremanje hrane kod kuće, prosječnom broj kašika šećera za šolju kafe ili čaja, dodavanje soli hrani tokom obroka i upotrebi mlijeka. Zdravstveni radnici su značajno češće imali jutarnji obrok (79 vs 42, χ2=3.444, p=0.045), veći broj šolja kafe dnevno (3.17±1.23 vs 2.67±0.98, F=7.330, p=0.008) a manje prosječan broj kriški hljeba koji nije ražani i bjeli na dnevnom niovu (2.00±1.38 vs 3.06±1.53, F=5.292, p=0.027). Zaključak. Zdravstveni i prosvetni radnici u našoj studiji imaju slične navike u ishrani. Uočene manje razlike, kao i značaj zdrave ishrane za zdravlje radno aktivnog stanovništva, opravdavaju dalja istraživanja u ovoj oblasti u našoj sredini. Ključne reči: ponašanje u ishrani; zdravstveni radnici; prosvetni radnici; ankete i upitnici; Crna Gora.

Introduction. A specific characteristic of the elderly is brittleness or fragility, and due to its prevalence, fragility needs to be understood as a public health priority. The aim of the study was to examine the association of functional and anthropometric parameters with fragility in persons over 65 years of age. Method. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and included 446 elderly people. As research instruments, a general questionnaire was used to assess the functional status of the Tinetti test and, of anthropometric parameters, the circumference of the upper arm and the circumference of the middle part of the lower leg. We used the ch2 test and Pearson's correlation analysis as statistical tests. Results. Females had poorer functional status, walking, and balance compared to males (ch2 = 4.125; p <0.127). It was observed males subjects had higher values of upper arm circumference (26.96 ± 3.44) compared to females, while females had higher values of the middle circumference of the lower leg (32.66 ± 6.29). Analyzing the correlation of anthropometric measurements with the total score of the Tinetti test and in relation to subjects' gender, it was noticed there is a correlation analysis between the parameters. Conclusion. A high percentage of people over the age of 65 have poor functional status, as well as lower values of anthropometric markers, suggesting that they may be potential risk factors for the fragility in the elderly.

Karcinom pluća je često maligno obolenje i jedan od vodećih uzroka smrti. Već godinama je to najčešće maligno obolenje u muškoj populaciji, a u poslednje vreme je sve češći i kod žena. Zdravstvena nega i emocionalna podrška ovim bolesnicima je od izuzetnog značaja. Ukoliko jedan od članova prodice oboli od ove bolesti, porodica često ima problem da savlada i razume sopstvene reakcije u toj situaciji. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da se ispita informisanost pacijenata o njihovoj bolesti i koliko su članovi porodice spremni da pruže podršku obolelom članu. Metode: Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni pacijenti koji boluju od karcinoma pluća, a koji su bili hospitlizovani na odelenju Onkologije Univerzitetskog kliničkog centra u Foči radi hemioterapije. Po završetku terapije pacijenti su otpušteni na kućno lečenje. Tokom kućne posjete anketirani su pacijenti i članovi porodice. Uzorak čine N=18 pacijenta, kao i N=18 članova njihovih porodica, koji se brinu o pacijentu u kućnim uslovima. Pacijenti su anketirani anonimnim upitnicima, a rezultati su prikazani grafički. Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da su naši ispitanici prilično dobro informisani o svojoj bolesti, mada se ponekad desi da ne razumiju dovoljno dobivene informacije. Polovina ispitanika 50% nije adekvatno upoznata sa nus efektima hemioterapije. Dve trećine (78%) ispitanih članova porodica su spremni da pruže podršku obolelom članu porodice, ali se čak u procentu od 34% ustručavaju tražiti pomoć od medicinskih radnika. Zaključak: Smatra se da znanje i informisanost o karakteru i težini bolesti u značajnoj meri doprinose lakšem prihvatanju dijagnoze i podstiču obolelog na aktivno učešće u sopstvenom lečenju. Zbog složenosti zdravstvene nege za obolele od karcinoma pluća, sestre treba da su dovoljno edukovane u trendu sa tehnološkim razvojem (dijagnostika, terapija, emocionalna podrška, zdravstveno vaspitni rad, integracija i reintegracija obolelog u pripadajuće grupe i okruženja).

Introduction.According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), mental illnesses are on the rise. The World Health Report estimates that today about 1 billion people suffer from mental and behavioral disorders or psychosocial problems such as those related to alcohol and drug abuse. Stigmatization of the mentally ill is one of the burning social problems of those people, and the attitudes and behavior of nurses/technicians significantly affect the self-stigmatization of patients, and thus their condition and recovery. The main aim of this study was to assess attitudes of nurses and nursing students towards patients with mental illnesses.Method. The research conducted is a cross-sectional study. The study covered two countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. In June and July 2018, 200 nurses and nursing students from the second to the fourth year of study were surveyed. Data were collected with original anonymous questionnaires, which was made for the purpose of this research.Results. Seventy percent of nurses believe that people with mental illness are discriminated against in our society, while there are statistically significant differences between respondents in relation to demographic characteristics (χ2 = 10.217; p = 0.037). Nurses working in psychiatric wards show a lower level of stigmatization compared to nurses working in other wards (χ2 = 25.553; p = 0.001). Nursing students have more negative attitudes towards mentally ill people compared to nurses (χ2 = 13.471; p = 0.009). Nurses from Serbia show a higher level of tolerance towards people with mental disabilities compared to nurses from Bosnia and Herzegovina (χ2 = 16.115; p = 0.003). Conclusion.The results of the research show that stigmatization of patients with mental illness still exists among health professionals. Undergraduate and continuing medical education of nurses should include more content related to access to the patient with mental disorders, communication skills in psychiatry, mental health promotion and prevention of stigmatization.
