Background: In evidence-based education, experts are supposed to possess skills and content knowledge. Scientific skills provide the tools and ways of thinking that enable researches to build the robust conceptual frameworks needed to gain expertise. Science education should not only provide broad content knowledge base but also develop analytical thinking, understanding of scientific research processes, and inspire curiosity of researchers. Objectives: is paper discusses the key results of subjective evaluation of attained outcomes of a 2,5-year project focused on enhancing research competences in a faculty of health sciences. Methods: e data was gathered from project members by four consequent semi-structured online questionnaires. Total number of respondents was 78 (N = 78) with 75% response rate. e data was analysed by a summative content analysis combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. Results: e findings present evident progress in personal achievements, team working, and scientific practice in the faculty. Based on identified needs the concrete measures supported learning and lead to enhancement in the target group’s research competences. Conclusions: Capacity building approach was successful in laying a robust foundation for consistent development in research-based practice both in academic and professional levels. Further research should be conducted on the long-term impacts of the project in the faculty. and Andrew Sirkka, Juraj Čáp
Cieľ: Na základe štyroch faktorov – kompetencie a skúsenosti sestry; možnosti a kvalita vzdelávania; stav pacienta; organizačné faktory opísať skúsenosť sestier s využívaním ošetrovateľskej diagnostiky vo výučbe a praxi. Metodika: Na zber empirických údajov sme použili dotazník vlastnej konštrukcie s otvorenými otázkami, zameraný na reflexiu stimulov a bariér pri využívaní ošetrovateľských diagnóz v oblastiach vzdelávanie, klinická prax a výskum. Na spracovanie a vyhodnotenie získaných údajov sme využili kvalitatívnu analýzu dát. Do výskumného súboru boli zaradení štyria respondenti, bývalí študenti doktorandského štúdia. Výsledky: Pri identifikovaní stimulov, ako aj bariér v používaní ošetrovateľských diagnóz dominovali v našom výskume faktory z oblasti vzdelávania, kompetencií a organizácie ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti. Pri identifikácii stimulov a bariér sa respondenti zamerali skôr na technické a administratívne aspekty práce s diagnózami ako na ich praktickú utilizáciu a reálne benefity pre pacienta. Závery: Ošetrovateľské diagnózy v klinickej praxi sú vnímame predovšetkým ako problém teoretického vymedzenia a nie východiska pre intervencie, tak ako to je napríklad pri diagnostike v iných odboroch (v medicíne, psychológii a podobne). Konkrétne príklady benefitov správnej a negatívnych konzekvencií nesprávnej diagnostiky by tak mohli prispieť k efektívnejšiemu prepojeniu teórie s praxou vo vzdelávaní. Pri prekonávaní bariéry v tejto oblasti je nutné zamerať sa najprv na kultiváciu postoja sestier a praktický význam diagnostikovania., Aim: Regarding four factors - the competence and experience of nurses, opportunities and quality of education, complexity of a patient’s situation, and organizational factors - describe the experience with the use of nursing diagnosis in nursing education and practice. Methods: To collect empirical data, we used a questionnaire of our own design with open questions, focused on the reflection of incentives and barriers by using nursing diagnoses in the areas of education, clinical practice and research. For the processing and evaluation of the data, we used qualitative data analysis. Four respondents, former PhD students were included in the research file. Results: To identify incentives as well as barriers by using nursing diagnoses factors of education, competence and organization of nursing care dominated in our study. When identifying the incentives and barriers to the use of nursing diagnoses in our study were dominated by. In addition to this respondents focused more on the technical and administrative working aspects with diagnoses as to their practical utilization and real benefits to the patient. Conclusion: Nursing diagnosis in clinical practice are perceived primarily as a theoretical definition of the problem and not as the basis for intervention, as it is in the case of the diagnosis in other fields (in medicine, psychology, etc.). Specific examples of benefits of good and negative consequences of the incorrect diagnosis could contribute to more effective interconnection of the theory and practice in education., Katarína Žiaková, Elena Gurková, Radka Šerfelová, Juraj Čáp, and Literatura
