Abstract | UVOD: Osnovne ljudske potrebe neizostavne su da bi čovjek mogao funkcionirati i obavljati svoje životne zadaće. Osobe s invaliditetom i djeca s teškoćama u razvoju imaju jednake osnovne ljudske potrebe kao i ljudi bez invaliditeta i djeca urednog psihofizičkog razvoja. Cilj istraživanja je istražiti povezanost razine obrazovanja i znanja medicinskih sestara o osnovnim ljudskim potrebama osoba s invaliditetom, te ispitati razinu znanja medicinskih sestara o osnovnim ljudskim potrebama osoba s invaliditetom. METODE: U ovom presječnom istraživanju (N=160) korišten je originalni upitnik konstruiran za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Upitnik se popunjavao metodom papir olovka. Pouzdanost upitnika testirana je izračunom Cronbach Alpha koeficijenta (α=0,87). U interferencijskoj statistici korišteni su Mann-Whitney U test i Kruskal-Wallisov test za analizu razlika između varijabli i Spearmanov koeficijent korelacije ranga za testiranje povezanosti među varijablama. Statističkim značajnim smatrane su vrijednosti p<0,05. REZULTATI: Razina znanja medicinskih sestara o osnovnim ljudskim potrebama na razini cijelog upitnika je vrlo dobra (M=4,04; ±0,38; CI=3,98-4,11). Nije nađena povezanost znanja medicinskih sestara o osnovnim ljudskim potrebama s razinom obrazovanja (p=0,586), ali se iznalazi minorna povezanost dužine radnog staža i znanja (p=0,050). Ne nalazi se razlike u znanjima prema razini stručne spreme (p=0,586). Ipak, nađena je povezanost razine obrazovanja i znanja o potrebama za samoaktualizacijom (p=0,001) te slabija povezanost između ranijih kontakata i znanja o nemogućnosti zadovoljavanja osnovnih ljudskih potreba u osoba s invaliditetom, što može snažno utjecati na samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i sliku o sebi (r=0,16; p=0,047). Nađena je statistički značajna razlika u razini znanja između bolničkih odjela (p=0,004). ZAKLJUČAK:. Iako nema povezanosti razine znanja medicinskih sestara i razine obrazovanja medicinskih sestara, rezultati pokazuju vrlo dobro znanje medicinskih sestara o osnovnim ljudskim potrebama osoba s invaliditetom. Budući da medicinske sestre imaju ključnu ulogu u zadovoljavanju svih osnovnih ljudskih potreba nužna je kontinuirana edukacija medicinskih sestara na svim razinama obrazovanja vezanim za osobe s invaliditetom i djecu s teškoćama u razvoju. |
Abstract (english) | INTRODUCTION: The basic human needs are inescapable for people to live and perform his or her life tasks. People with disabilities and children with developmental disabilities have equal basic human needs as well as people without disabilities and children without developmental problems. The aim of the research is to investigate the correlation between the level of education and the knowledge of nurses about the basic human needs of persons with disabilities and to find out the level of knowledge that nurses have about the basic human needs of persons with disabilities. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study (N=160), we used original paper-and-pencil questionnaire „OPOI“. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for estimate the reliability, or internal consistency, of the score. In the interferential statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analysis differences between variables, and Spearman rank correlation coefficient for associations between variables. Statistically significant values were p <0.05. RESULTS: The level of knowledge of nurses on basic human needs at the level of the whole questionnaire is very good (M=4.04; ±0.38; CI=3.98-4.11). There was no correlation of the knowledge of nurses about basic human needs with the level of education (p=0.586), but there is a slight correlation between the length of work experience and knowledge (p=0.050). There is no difference in knowledge according to the level of vocational qualification (p=0.586). However, there is a correlation between the level of education and knowledge on self-actualization needs (p=0.001) and a lower correlation between earlier contacts and knowledge of the inability to satisfy the basic human needs of people with disabilities, which can strongly affect self-esteem, self-confidence and self-image r=0.16; p=0.047). There was a statistically significant difference in the level of knowledge between hospital departments (p=0.004). CONCLUSION: Although there is no correlation between the level of knowledge of nurses and the level of nursing education, the results show very good knowledge of nurses about the basic human needs of people with disabilities. Since nurses play a key role in satisfaction the all basic human needs, there is a need for continued education of nurses at all levels of education related to persons with disabilities and children with developmental disabilities. |
