| Abstract | UVOD: Palijativna skrb je aktivna i sveobuhvatna skrb za osobe kod kojih bolest ne reagira na kurativno liječenje. Pomoć se pacijentu pruža na tjelesnom, duševnom i duhovnom planu. U palijativnoj skrbi je kvaliteta života ispred duljine života. Mobilni palijativni tim čini liječnik i prvostupnik sestrinstva sa specijalističkim obrazovanjem iz palijativne skrbi. Kako bi se pružila cjelovita, interdisciplinarna te multidisciplinarna palijativna skrb potrebno je u rad uključiti i druge članove tima kao što su socijalni radnik, psiholog, duhovnik, druge profesionalce te volontere koji moraju proći dodatnu edukaciju iz palijativne zdravstvene skrbi.
CILJ: Cilj ovog rada je ispitati stavove i znanje studenata prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva Fakulteta zdravstvenih studija u Rijeci o mobilnim palijativnim timovima te palijativnoj skrbi. Utvrditi imaju li studenti dovoljno znanja i iskustva pružiti njegu palijativnom pacijentu. Pretpostavka je da će izvanredni studenti imati više znanja i iskustva u njezi palijativnog pacijenta te da će imati više znanja o funkciji mobilnog palijativnog tima.
METODE I MATERIJALI: U radu se koristila metoda deskriptivne statistike. Podatci su se prikupljali u periodu lipnja i srpnja 2024. godine, a evaluacija teorijskog znanja i stavova studenata prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva učinila se putem anonimnog upitnika koji je obuhvaćao 7 općih pitanja, 5 specifičnih pitanja o znanju studenata o mobilnim palijativnim timovima te 11 pitanja o stavovima studenata o mobilnim palijativnim timovima.
REZULTATI: Istraživanje provedeno među studentima sestrinstva Fakulteta zdravstvenih studija u Rijeci pokazalo je da postoji značajna razlika u znanju o mobilnim palijativnim timovima između studenata koji su pohađali kolegij Palijativna zdravstvena skrb i onih koji nisu. Studenti koji su odslušali kolegij ostvarili su prosječnu ocjenu od 3.43, dok su oni koji ga nisu pohađali imali prosječnu ocjenu od 2.85. Isto tako 92% ispitanika točno je odgovorilo na osnovna pitanja o funkcijama mobilnih timova, dok su specifičnija pitanja, poput uloga unutar tima, imala nižu točnost. Iako su stavovi studenata prema mobilnim palijativnim timovima općenito pozitivni, s prosječnom ocjenom od 2.16, nije pronađena statistički značajna razlika između redovnih i izvanrednih studenata. Rezultati naglašavaju potrebu za daljnjom edukacijom i praktičnom obukom kako bi svi studenti stekli potrebna znanja i kompetencije za rad u palijativnoj skrbi.
ZAKLJUČAK: Glavni cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati razinu znanja i razliku o stavovima između redovnih i izvanrednih studenata prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva o mobilnim palijativnim timovima, te usporediti njihove stavove. Rezultati su pokazali da je opća razina znanja među studentima prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva zadovoljavajuća, s time da su studenti prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva koji su odslušali kolegij Palijativna zdravstvena skrb imali veću razinu znanja u odnosu na one koji nisu slušali navedeni kolegij. |
| Abstract (english) | INTRODUCTION: Palliative care is an active and comprehensive approach to care for individuals whose illness does not respond to curative treatment. Care is provided to the patient on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. In palliative care, the quality of life takes precedence over the length of life. A mobile palliative care team consists of a physician and a nurse with specialized education in palliative care. To provide holistic, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary palliative care, it is necessary to include other team members such as a social worker, psychologist, spiritual advisor, and other professionals, as well as volunteers who must undergo additional training in palliative health care.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this final thesis is to examine the attitudes and knowledge of undergraduate nursing students at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka regarding mobile palliative care teams and palliative care in general. The aim is to determine whether they have sufficient knowledge and experience to provide care to palliative patients. It is hypothesized that part-time students will have more knowledge and experience in caring for palliative patients and that they will have more knowledge about the function of mobile palliative care teams.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: The research employed descriptive statistical methods. Data were collected during June and July 2024, and the evaluation of theoretical knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate nursing students was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire that included 7 general questions, 5 specific questions about students' knowledge of mobile palliative care teams, and 11 questions about students' attitudes towards mobile palliative care teams.
RESULTS: The research conducted among nursing students at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka revealed a significant difference in knowledge about mobile palliative care teams between students who attended the course "Palliative Health Care" and those who did not. Students who completed the course achieved an average score of 3.43, while those who did not attend the course had an average score of 2.85. Additionally, 92% of respondents correctly answered basic questions about the functions of mobile teams, while more specific questions, such as those regarding the roles within the team, had lower accuracy. Although students' attitudes towards mobile palliative care teams were generally positive, with an average score of 2.16, no statistically significant difference was found between full-time and part-time students. These results highlight the need for further education and practical training to ensure that all students acquire the necessary knowledge and competencies for working in palliative care.
CONCLUSION: The main goal of the research was to assess the level of knowledge and differences in attitudes between full-time and part-time undergraduate nursing students regarding mobile palliative care teams, and to compare their attitudes. The results showed that the overall level of knowledge among undergraduate nursing students was satisfactory, with those who had taken the course "Palliative Health Care" demonstrating a higher level of knowledge compared to those who had not taken the course. |
