“…it has been shown that a "healthy" work environment and mutual support of colleagues in the workplace lead to better efficiency at work and reduced stress levels, which in turn leads to better care (27). nurses in hospitals showed higher levels of stress than those outside hospitals (28). it has been shown that poor atmosphere in the workplace and the pressure of work result in higher dissatisfaction of the staff, which matches the results of other studies.…”

Homeostasis is important for maintaining balance and normal functioning of the organism. Allostatic mechanisms further help to establish this balance. If the body is under stress for a longer period, a complex condition in the body called allostatic load occurs. If such a load lasts longer, the risk of developing diseases increases significantly. This study was conducted anonymously with the aim of determining the health status of male and female nurses in the Neuropsychiatric hospital “Dr. Ivan Barbot” in Popovača and their exposure to everyday stressors in the workplace. The main purpose was to examine the relationship between stress and the health status of nurses in relation to gender, age, and seniority. A total of 142 nurses participated. The Health Questionnaire and Workplace Stress Questionnaire were used. The results showed that the most common diseases nurses suffer from are cardiovascular diseases, thyroid diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and allergies. Women showed higher sensitivity to stress than men. The most common stressors faced by nurses in the workplace are inadequate personal income, inadequate workspace and material resources for work, lack of staff, daily contingencies, 24-hour responsibility, and administrative work. This study found an association between age and, consequently, work experience with the likelihood of illness, although both the healthy and the sick perceive equal levels of stress. One disadvantage of this study is that it covers a large area and deals with general issues, but it can certainly be a starting point for further research. Many questions remain open, which means there is a need for further research and study of the link between stress and illness.

U ovom je radu cilj istraživanja dobivanje uvida u motive medicinskih sestara zaposlenih u domovima za starije osobe za uključivanje u superviziju, reakcije njihove radne okoline na sudjelovanje u supervizijskoj skupini te iskustvo sudjelovanja u supervizijskoj skupini. Riječ o deskriptivnom kvalitativnom istraživanju. Istraživanje je provedeno s jedanaest medicinskih sestara zaposlenih u domovima za starije osobe koje čine predstavnike svih domova u Gradu Zagrebu. Rezultati su pokazali da je dio medicinskih sestara zaposlenih u domovima za starije osobe djelomično informirano o superviziji. U skladu s time dio njih smatra superviziju sastavnim dijelom radnog procesa. Kao izvore informacija o superviziji navode primarno glavnu medicinsku sestru u domu za starije, socijalnu radnicu ili ravnateljicu u domu. Sudionice istraživanja superviziju doživljavaju kao oblik profesionalne podrške medicinskim sestrama. Kao razloge za uključivanje u superviziju navode znatiželju, poticaje drugih, profesionalnu podršku i razvoj te rješavanje problema i umanjenje stresa povezanog s poslom. Od supervizije očekuju razvoj profesionalnih i osobnih vještina te priliku za ventilaciju. Odnos nadređenih i kolega prema sudjelovanju u superviziji sudionice vide kao podršku nadređenih ili kao nedostatak podrške nadređenih te opisuju pozitivne i negativne aspekte sudjelovanja u superviziji. Medicinske sestre navode kako vide potrebu za supervizijom kao sastavnim dijelom radnog procesa. U radu su dane smjernice za praksu i uvođenje supervizije kao profesionalnog standarda u okviru stručnog usavršavanja i napredovanja svih stručnih djelatnika u domu te u svrhu jačanja kompetencija stručnjaka, ali i prevencije profesionalnog sagorijevanja.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of self-care on the prevalence of loneliness among elderly people living in retirement homes and older people living in their homes/communities. Design/methodology/approach The research was conducted through standardized SELSA-L assessment loneliness questionnaires and the Self Care Assessment Worksheet for self-care assessment. The results were processed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Findings The obtained results have shown that impaired self-care ability affects the prevalence of loneliness among the elderly almost the same in both groups of participants. However, regarding the relationship between the state of health and self-care, only a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of loneliness is found in the case of the participants living in their homes, with the worst health condition affecting the poorer psychological care. Research limitations/implications It is necessary to point out the limitations of the research, primarily sample limitations and the selected design of the study. The sample consisted of two different and relatively small groups of participants which could adversely affect the representativeness of the sample and reduce the possibility of generalising the results. The next limiting factor is the age distribution the authors used in the research, where the age of the participants as a very important variable was collected by age range and not precisely which consequently resulted in inequality in subgroup sizes. Thus, the middle age (75–85) covers up to ten years, which is a huge range at an older age and can mean major differences in functional ability, and can impact the self-care assessment. Practical implications Nurses are indispensable in care for the elderly and they need to promote and encourage self-care of the elderly through health care. Elderly people living in retirement homes should be allowed to participate equally in health care in order to preserve their own autonomy and dignity. However, to benefit those who live in their homes, nurses should be connected to the local community and thus stimulate various forms of preventative (testing blood sugar levels, blood pressure and educating on the importance of preventive examinations) or recreational activities in the environment of elderly people with the goal of preserving their functional abilities. Originality/value The impact of self-care on loneliness was not sufficiently researched, and this paper contributed to understanding the complexity of loneliness phenomena among the elderly with the aim of developing a model of prevention.
