<p><em>Needs of parents during hospitalization of a child, during the health care process, are connected with the interaction of multilevel environment in the hospital setting. Created expert evaluation questionnaire and performed research serve as a basis for creation of the activity research questionnaire for parents of children and nurses employed in the health care field using acquired data. To heighten validity of the obtained data during each cycle of data analysis triangulated data acquisition methods were used</em><em>. During research of the needs of parents during hospitalization of their child following methods of triangulation were used</em><em>: data triangulation – quantitative and qualitative data obtained during research; sources: child</em><em>’</em><em>s parents and nurses</em><em>; triangulation of researchers</em><em> – author of the dissertation, scientific head of the dissertation, experts; triangulation of theories – sustainability/sustainable development, ecology of human development, </em><em>holistic health care model, system model; triangulation of </em><em>methods</em><em> – questionnaires, expert evaluations, analysis of qualitative data and thematic qualitative analysis</em><em>. During research the strategy of triangulation contains use of several sources of information</em><em>. Relatively autonomous research methods give purposeful answers to the research questions on needs of parents during hospitalization of a child. Data obtained during activity research indicate ability of the parents and health care teams to satisfy their needs. </em></p>
Assessment of competence level of operating theatre nurses (OTN) has a significant role in ensuring patient safety, continuity of perioperative care, and positive care environment, allowing to identify shortcomings and address them. The competence level describes quantitatively the competence in perioperative care — a set of skills, attitudes, and knowledge required for effective and safe perioperative care. A simple method to assess the competence level is a self-assessment scale; however, this method has not been used in Latvia to establish the OTN competence levelThe goal of this work is to determine the perceived level of competence in the perioperative care of OTN in a multi-profile hospital in Latvia. For this purpose, a modified perioperative competence self-assessment scale was used, based on Gillespie’s (2012) Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R). The results show that OTN have a high perceived level of competence. However, the leadership subscale (which includes coordination and management) displayed lower levels of perceived competence, which shows the insufficiency of training. The results also show that certified OTN, those with more work experience, and OTN with a Bachelor’s degree have a higher perceived competence level. The scale adapted to Latvian exhibits equally good internal consistency as other versions of PPCS-R.
Quality of life is one of indicators describing the development of society and it is influenced by several factors. One of these factors is job. For the major part of society it is important to work in the profession possessing positive character and promoting increase of persons’ self-assessment. Perception of the character in society is particularly important in branches and for specialists whose professional activities are connected with the provision of services for different groups of population. In order to evaluate the character of social care was carried out a study. Aim of the study was to analyze common and different characteristic peculiarities of the character of social care in publications available in the press. Obtained results were analyzed and conclusions possible to utilize in order to improve the character of social care and encourage self-assessment of specialists working in this sector were performed.
