When forced treatment in mental health care is under consideration, two approaches guide clinicians in their actions: the dominant rights-based approach and the relational ethical approach. We hypothesized that nurses with bachelor's degrees differentiate better between the two approaches than nurses without a degree. To test this hypothesis a survey was performed in major Slovenian health institutions. We found that nurses emphasize the importance of ethics and personal values, but 55.4% of all the nurse participants confused the two approaches. The results confirmed our hypothesis and indicate the importance of nurses' formal education, especially when caring for patients with mental illness.

Uvod: Obseg znanja, ki ga medicinske sestre potrebujejo pri svojem delu, se stalno povečuje in s tem se spreminjajo tudi njihove kompetence. Naloga izobraževalnih ustanov je usposobiti diplomante za učinkovito soočanje z vse kompleksnejšimi zahtevami delovnega okolja in družbe. Osnovni namen pregleda literature je bil preučiti kompetence zdravstvene nege ter vpliv učnih metod na razvoj kompetenc. Metode: Opravljen je bil pregled literature, objavljene v obdobju 2000 do 2012. Uporabljene so bile baze podatkov CINAHL, Medline, ERIC, Academic Search Premier in Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, dostopne preko podatkovnih zbirk EBSCOhost/EIFL Direct, vzajemna bibliografska-kataložna baza podatkov COBIB.SI, relevantne spletne strani strokovnih organizacij zdravstvene nege ter elektronski in drugi tiskani viri. Rezultati: Identificiranih je bilo pet opisnih kategorij: kompetence zdravstvene nege, podlage v kompetence usmerjenega učenja, učenje in razvoj kompetenc, učenje v kliničnem okolju ter spremljanje in ocenjevanje kompetenc. Diskusija in zaključek: Preučevanje kompetenc v zdravstveni negi je aktualna tema, saj so ključne pri opredelitvi sposobnosti, spretnosti in znanj, ki jih medicinske sestre potrebujejo za zagotavljanje učinkovite in kakovostne zdravstvene nege.
