ProCare at 15th international scientific conference

 ProCare was presented at the 

 15th International Scientific Conference: Digitalisation and Education in Health Sciences,
 
which was at Hotel Astoria Bled on June 9th, 2022  
 
The 15th International Scientific Conference 2022 emphasized the importance of digitalisation and new approaches to health sciences education. The conference brought together the practice of health sciences, facilitates collaboration between different health disciplines and introduced a modern approach to the holistic treatment of the individual. It linked theory and practice as well as research findings and users. To promote the necessary improvements and digitalisation of approach, it positioned expert findings within a broader context.
 
The conference was dedicated to presenting the current research and development work in the field of digitalisation of health sciences and the implementation of new educational methods in nursing care, health promotion, physiotherapy, and other health sciences.  
 
The aim was to integrate the practice of health sciences through digitisation and introduce new teaching approaches that reflect digitalisation trends. An important aspect of digitalisation and education in health sciences was their impact on shaping a new approach to treating individuals.
 
ProCare was presented with article: 'First RN4CAST results for Slovenia'

12. conference My career - QUO VADIS

 

 On April 13, 2022,  Angela Boškin Faculty of Health care held

12th conference My Career: QUO VADIS

with title

 Working conditions among nursing care providers and their relationship with the outcomes of medical treatment for patients in general hospitals in Slovenia

The purpose of the conference was to present and place the first results of the RN4CAST research in the Slovenian context, and to determine what challenges the Slovenian healthcare professions are facing and what the next connection is with the quality of healthcare.

The  Angela Boškin Faculty of Health care presented the first results of the Cross-Sectional Survey of Working Conditions in Nursing (RN4CAST) in Slovenia at the 12th My Career - QUO VADIS conference together with researchers. RN4CAST is one of the largest nursing workforce surveys, as it has already been carried out in most European countries, and in total in more than 40 countries worldwide.

 

The following observation was made (from the press release):

 More than half of the nurses in Slovenian hospitals are considering changing jobs

More than half of the nurses who work in internal medicine and surgery departments in eight Slovenian general hospitals and the two university clinical centers are considering changing jobs in the next year, according to the first results of the Cross-sectional Survey of Working Conditions in Nursing (RN4CAST), which was carried out by the ,  Angela Boškin Faculty of Health care and partners. The research also revealed a low rating of satisfaction with the working environment and a high workload of nursing employees.

 

Presented press release had a great impact. Many news in different media were published.

PROCARE KNOWLEDGE TRIANGLE

 

The collaboration of the faculty and the hospital in the ProCare project (Hospitals and faculties together for prosperous and scientifically based healthcare) is a new and beautiful experience. The faculty and the hospital have been working together for a long time, because the education of nursing students requires both theoretical and practical knowledge and refinement, and only good relations and connections between the academic sphere and the clinical environment can ensure this.

The ProCare project is based on the design and development of the triangle of knowledge between theory and practice. The core of the project is to create knowledge and experience based on the demands of everyday life, which are addressed in an academic environment and solutions proposed back to the clinical environment. In this way, all stakeholders - hospitals and faculties - develop: hospitals build a research culture through the project, nurses acquire knowledge about research and information about evidence-based practice, and university teachers acquire knowledge and information about the necessary new teaching methods, new content and current challenges in everyday work in clinical settings. 

Knowledge and experience are shared in an interesting and user-friendly way. Forming a research group and so-called the journal club, the determination of research mentors in the clinical environment and the list of topics that will also be addressed in master's and doctoral research works are ways that concretely contribute positively to the hospital and the faculty. Given the current needs in the field of nursing, collaborative staffing and addressing pressing issues are critical to developing practices that have the ultimate goal of patient well-being.

ProCare knowledge triangle

 Nursing is a scientific discipline and research has become an integral part of nurse education. Research process is essential for obtaining new knowledge to improve patient health care and for continuous development of nursing as a scientific discipline. To reach this goal, nurses need appropriate support - support in new knowledge accessibility and in pro-research system orientation.

 
At this point the ProCare project has come to important conclusions within WP1 and WP2. WP1 is addressing identifying various aspects of the nursing work environment. Conducted studies aimed to determine the opinions and obtain a self-evaluation of nursing respondents on the extent of working within or beyond the level of competence they gained as part of their nursing education. Despite professional competencies and activities for different categories of nursing care providers being clearly divided, clinical practice in Italy, Spain and Slovenia still shows that some profiles of healthcare providers are performing competencies not consistent with their formal education and training. The studies also aimed to determine barriers and facilitators of the nursing research. The findings were in many parts consistent with other existing data. Many studies are addressing barriers for implementation of nursing research in clinical environments. We know that the most commonly identified barriers are not knowing the research process, lack of: time and resources, access to obtain research material, knowledge to identify quality evidence and evidence interpretation, knowledge on statistics, competencies, English language competency, computer and electronic literacy etc. All listed deficits significantly affect the implementation of evidence based practice in the clinical environment. Also leadership is an important element of encouraging and providing support to nurses who would like to practice research. Management can have a negative impact on research development and implementation by not providing acceptable development strategy, bad organization, lack of designed evidence based practice implementation strategy, lack of educated managers, etc. WP2 is about linking higher education, research and hospitals to support nursing research development. So far gathered results of the studies are reflecting the need to strengthen the cooperation between hospitals and faculties. Mutual aims of HEIs and clinical environments result in quality nursing care. Cooperation reduces the gap between theory and practice. Clinical environments emphasis procedures and competencies for independent work and only these are not sufficient to develop research and evidence based nursing practice. Research and evidence based practice need to be emphasized and encouraged simultaneously – in clinical and higher education environments. This sort of partnership is beneficial for all involved, starting with students. Students have optimal conditions to successfully integrate into work environments, to maintain critical thinking and research orientation, and to use acquired knowledge autonomously. The empowerment of nurse` knowledge and competencies begins at HEIs. The educational process has the power to positively influence students` attitude towards research, their research competencies, and the perception of evidence based practice in nursing. 
 
As early as the early 19th century, Florence Nightingale was credited with improving patient care when she warned that poor sanitation could adversely affect the health of patients. She continued to record health statistics to determine the number of deaths in hospitals and mortality associated with illness and injury. In the 20th century, more precisely in 1972, Archie Cochrane introduced into nursing care the concept of applied randomized control trials and other experimental and non-experimental research at a lower level of research evidence. Cochrane based his work on the assumption that nursing care is limited by material resources and that only procedures that have been shown to be effective should be used. In his view, randomized controlled trials are the most reliable form of evidence, and his assertion created the foundation for the evidence-based practice doctrine. As part of the higher education study program, nursing students learn about practice and theory, both of which are closely intertwined with evidence-based practice. In recent decades, evidence-based practice became a key part of optimal patient care. Even though the application of evidence-based practice in nursing care brings excellent results that are clearly documented, it is still not used often enough. Collaboration of clinical environments and HEIs; knowledge and material resources; needs to implement research and attitudes towards research; reasons for decisions to become a nurse; management support and financial resources; formal and non-formal education; application of knowledge and understanding of research process are the key factors in promoting and at the same time hindering the development of nurses' research activity.

ProCare Yearly progress report

 

Hospitals and faculties together for prosperous and scientific based healthcare (ProCare)
Yearly progress report, November 2019

 
Procare project promised to address 2 relevant issues: the lack of research knowledge among RNs and poor research alliance between hospitals and HEIs. The profile of research in nursing will be raised by increasing both research capacity and capability. Through individual Work packages (WPs) & outputs, 5 set objectives will be addressed: 1.  to build infrastructure with research leadership that will support a research active environment (WP1 - analysing nursing work environment and enablers/barriers in facilitating nurses to do research, WP2 - establishing nursing research groups/units; identifying research mentors within the hospitals and linked researchers at HEI, suggesting the online material content);  2.  to improve access to research training and support opportunities (WP 3, 4, 5 - online learning programme);  3.  to identify research priorities in practice and link in with HEI to address them jointly (WP2); 4. to encourage intra-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary & inter-agency research collaborations (WP2; research group establishment); 5. To raise the profile of research conducted by nurses to internal and external organisations (WP 2, 6: encouraging nurses to submit abstracts to conferences and improve research writing skills).
After 12 months of the project we have gained some important results and set the filed for further work.
