Usmjerena je na ublažavanje patnje, te očuvanje najbolje moguće kvalitete života sve do smrti. Ta skrb ne obuhvaća samo tu osobu, već i one koji je vole.
Svrha ovog rada je istražiti što učenici četvrte godine medicinske škole i gimnazije znaju o palijativnoj skrbi. Riječ je o presječnoj studiji u koju su uključeni učenici četvrte godine srednje medicinske škole i gimnazije u Zagrebu. Istraživanje je provedeno u razdoblju od 14. veljače do 13. ožujka 2019. putem anketnog upitnika, kojim se ispitalo znanje učenika o palijativnoj skrbi te iskustva učenika sa smrću i umiranjem, kao i povezanost takvog iskustva sa znanjem o palijativnoj skrbi.
U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 178 učenika, 93 (52,2%) je bilo iz medicinske škole i 85 (47,8%) iz gimnazije. Dvije trećine ispitanika bilo je ženskog spola. Među ispitanicima iz medicinske škole bilo je manje sudionika muškog spola.
Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da učenici medicinske škole imaju statistički značajno veće znanje o palijativnoj skrbi od učenika gimnazije (p = 0,005), što znači da je uočena statistički značajna razlika kod promatranih škola. Kod učenika medicinske škole prisutno je 95,7% točnih odgovora, a 85,9% točnih odgovora je kod učenika gimnazije.
Više od polovice ispitanika (59,0%) uključenih u istraživanje je imalo susret s umirućom osobom u okolini. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u znanju o palijativnoj skrbi između ispitanika koji su imali iskustva s umirućom osobom u okolini i onih koji ih nisu imali.
Ovo je istraživanje pokazalo da postoji zadovoljavajuća razina znanja u obim školama, ali bez obzira na to, potrebno je omogućiti kontinuirano obrazovanje o skrbi za palijativnog bolesnika osobito u medicinskim školama, budući da se životni vijek stanovništva produljuje. Nije dokazana povezanost između iskustva učenika s umirućom osobom u okolini i znanja o palijativnoj skrbi.
Abstract (english) Palliative care is specialized medical and nursing care for terminally ill patients in terms of preserving dignity and integrity of the person as a whole. While it is aimed at alleviating suffering and preserving the best possible quality of life until death on the one hand, it also provides the family members with psychological support and necessary counselling service.
This paper is a cross-sectional study that involves fourth-grade students from a medical school and a general-program secondary school in the city of Zagreb. The purpose of the paper is to investigate and compare their knowledge on the subject of palliative care.
The study was conducted in the period from February 14 to March 13, 2019. The study involved 178 students, 52.2% of them were from medical schools, and 47.8% from the other secondary schools. Two thirds of the respondents were females. Among the respondents from the vocational school there were fewer male participants.
The results of the research have shown that the medical school students have statistically significantly higher knowledge of palliative care compared to the students from the other school (p=0.005), which means that there is a statistically significant difference in the observed schools. There are 95.7% accurate answers of the medical school students, whilst the other school scored 85.9%.
More than half of the respondents (59.0%) have already faced the experience of death and dying in their family. However, the results show that there is no statistically significant difference in the knowledge of palliative care among respondents who have experienced death of a close person and those who have not.
This research has shown that there is a satisfactory level of knowledge on the subject in both schools. However, it is necessary to provide ongoing palliative care education, especially in medical schools, as life expectancy of the population is increasing. It has also been shown that there is no correlation between students’ knowledge on palliative care and their experience of death and dying in the family.
