[The Role of Movement Therapy in Balance Training and Fall Prevention of Patients with Osteo­porosis: A Systematic Review]

MISZORY Erika Viktória, JÁROMI Melinda, PAKAI Annamária

[Introduction: The frequent occuring of traumatic events resulting from falls among the patients with osteoporosis and their negative consequencies to the life quality make the application of efficient movement therapy interventions for preventing falls. The aim of the study: The authors’ purpose is to revise the effectiveness of movement therapy interventions regarding osteoporosis, mainly in the field of balance training and fall prevention. We carried out a detailed systematic literature reasearch in the database of Ebsco Discovery Service concerning the period of January 2014 and December 2019. We only searched for articles available in full and in English language using appropriate keywords. We found 42 publications potentially relevant, of which 12 met the inclusion criteria. The programs performed in different media, intensity and time period highlighted the significance of each exercise form in the functional variables. The different exercise programs prove to be effective for muscle and balance training as well as there is a growing number of evidences which emphasize the role of multimodal programs.]

[Investigation of Diabetes Mellitus screening in Hungarian General Practices]

GALVÁCS Henrietta, BALOGH Zoltán

[To examine the knowledge about diabetes and its screening practices and the role of advanced practice nurses in the prevention, among general practice employees. Our study was carried out via an online questionnaire which was completed by 94 general practitioners and 83 nurses. 20% of nurses did not possess appropriate qualifications. Overall, advanced practice nurses produced the highest results in the study. 55.4% of the practices performed regular diabetes screening, while only 35.5% of the nurses recommended screening examinations to patients. The most frequently cited causes for not performing screenings were the high number of daily patient visits and inadequate infrastructure and personnel resources. According to the opinions of general practitioners, the efficacy of prevention could be improved by increased financing, hiring dietitians, organising lifestyle clubs and limiting the number of daily patient visits. Independent work by advanced practice nurses was supported by the general practitioners. Emphasis on preventative methods should be expanded in the training of nurses with secondary education and these nurses should take on additional responsibilities in screening examinations. Integrate of advanced practice nurses is essential as soon as possible, into development of primary health care. ]

[Effectiveness of video-supported Resuscitation Training among Primary School Children ]

NAGY Richárd , BÁNFAI-CSONKA Henrietta, MUSCH János, DERZSI-HORVÁTH Martina, BÁNFAI Bálint

[In sudden cardiac arrest situations laypeople are important parts of the chain of survival. The aim of the study: Our aim was to compare different resuscitation education methods and to measure the effectiveness of video-supported method among primary school children. In our study participants were 10-15 years old primary school children (N=147). There were made a pre-test and two post-tests (1 and 4 months later). Data collection was made by a self-fill-in questionnaire and a practical test with a BLS manikin. There were made three groups: the FRONTAL group was teached with traditional methods; the VIDEO group was teached by a 5-minutes long, self made video; the PHANTOM group was teached by the video and a self-made manikin. Based on the tests the FRONTAL group performed the highest scores (p<0.001). However, the best performance in the depth of the chest compression scored the PHANTOM group (p<0.001). The frequency of the chest compressions was the best in the FRONTAL group (p=0.01). Body weight >50 kg (p=0.042) and age >12 years (p<0.001) associated with significantly deeper chest compressions. In our study, the traditional method was the most effective. However, using a video the results can be similar.]

[The possible implication and challanges of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics on the field of Nursing Practice: Friend or Foe?]

FULLÉR Noémi, LAMPEK Kinga, ROZMANN Nóra , SZUNOMÁR Szilvia , ZRÍNYI Miklós, OLÁH András

[The paper discusses latest developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications for the future of nursing care and services. Authors emphasize that AI should not be treated as a threat to nurses but as a potential support that may relieve nurses from performing routine tasks which can be automated by AI and robotics. The article cites examples from international experiments with AI and nursing robots that make the case for the controlled and intelligent use of technology in support of a nursing workforce that experiences pressures and stress because of increasing workloads and decreasing number of nursing staff. Authors call for the recognition that nurses fall behind in participating in the development of future nurse specific technologies, also due to the fact that nurses receive no education in the field of AI and robotics. Authors conclude that for nurses to stay in the driving seat of future nurse technologies, graduate and/or postgraduate level education for nurses in AI and robotics is a must.]

[Functioning of SMART Hospitals from a Nursing Perspective ]

VÖRÖSMARTY Attila

[More and more people hear about the need for smart hospitals to operate in the 21st century. Looking at the hospital developments of the past decades, we can see that actually it is the mainstream. Widespread, simultaneous and effective access to health care data is the key issue for future professionals and patients. In the following study, I would like to briefly outline the prerequisites for setting up and operating an intelligent hospital.]
