The study tested a model of first-year university students’ financial socialization focusing on parents as financial socialization agents and students’ present financial outcomes. Results from 395 Austrians (70% females) and 412 Slovenes (55% females) revealed significant pathways from recollected socialization experiences to students’ self-perceived financial learning outcomes (adopting parental role modeling and financial knowledge) and financial behavior control. Financial knowledge and behavioral control partly mediated the effect of prior socialization experiences on students’ financial behavior, financial relationship with parents, and financial satisfaction. Among country-specific pathways, adopting parental role modeling indirectly influenced financial outcomes in the Slovene students, whereas for the Austrian students, it was directly associated with better financial relationships with parents. Our findings on the pathways to healthy financial outcomes provide important suggestions to parents and emerging adult students.

Spending money within the budget, financial planning, and saving represent important positive financial behaviors that contribute to financial satisfaction of emerging adults, which in turn predicts their satisfaction with life. In a mixed method study of Slovenian first-year university students ( N = 515) and one of their parents, we qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed multi-informant survey data collected online on their motivation to save money and the factors that influence the students’ choice (demographics, parental saving, and parental financial socialization). More than half of the freshmen and their parents saved money, mostly for long-term financial goals, larger investments, financial security in the future, and with self-gratification motives. Saving and the motives for saving were moderately associated within the student–parent dyads: The students whose parents saved tended to save themselves, and the saving motives of parents and their emerging adult children also showed similarities. The role of parents as agents of financial socialization in the students’ healthy financial behavior was supported by significant associations between the students' recollection of parental socialization practices (direct financial teaching and financial monitoring) and their money saving.

We investigated the occurrence of selected types of problematic social media and mobile phone use in emerging adults, specifically social media and mobile phone overuse, phubbing, creeping, and catfishing. Contemporaneous relations with age, gender, and Big Five personality traits were examined. The participants comprised 459 Slovenian emerging adults, aged 18 to 29 years (68% female). The results suggest that problematic behaviors associated with social media and mobile phone use, with the exception of catfishing, are relatively common among young people. The examined behaviors were negatively related to age, and overuse of mobile phones, social media, and creeping were more prevalent in females than males. The Big Five personality traits, most notably high neuroticism and low conscientiousness, uniquely predicted problematic social media and mobile phone use, after accounting for age, gender, and time spent on social media. Mobile phone overuse and phubbing were also associated with high extraversion and low openness, while low agreeableness was related to creeping and catfishing.

The study examined an intergenerational model of financial socialization and its outcomes that connects parents’ and their children’s self-perceived financial learning outcomes to satisfaction with financial management and parent-child financial relationships. The conceptual model was based on models of financial socialization processes contributing to healthy financial development of emerging adult students (Shim et al., 2010; Sirsch et al., 2020), but extended the links across two generations within the same family. Considering perspectives of both generations in a single model, it was tested in a sample of 482 pairs of Slovenian first-year university students and one of their parents. Structural equation modeling revealed that parental healthy financial learning outcomes (knowledge, behavioral control, behavior) shaped their children’s positive financial development (financial learning outcomes and satisfaction) and promoted the parents’ satisfaction with financial management. In turn, both the students’ and the parents’ financial management satisfaction positively predicted a joint measure of satisfaction with parent-child financial relationship. Similar links of financial learning outcomes to satisfaction with financial management and parent-child financial relationships were observed for both generations, even though parents and their children were financially socialized under different socioeconomic conditions.

Neizvedena zdravstvena nega je koncept, ki obsega zavedno ali nezavedno popolno opustitev izvedbe določenih aktivnosti zdravstvene nege, časovno preložitev izvedbe ali le delno izvedbo določene aktivnosti. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, katere so najpogostejše aktivnosti zdravstvene nege, ki jih medicinske sestre in tehniki zdravstvene nege v zdravstvenih in socialnovarstvenih zavodih ne izvedejo, ter kateri so najpogostejši vzroki za to. Presečna raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativnem raziskovalnem pristopu. Za zbiranje podatkov smo uporabili vprašalnik »The MISSCARE Survey«, podatke pa smo zbrali s spletno anketo 1KA. Anketo je v celoti izpolnilo 180 izvajalcev zdravstvene nege, ki imajo v povprečju več kot 10 let delovnih izkušenj. Ugotovili smo, da medicinske sestre najpogosteje ne izvedejo dokumentiranja vseh zahtevanih podatkov (M = 1,86, SD = 1,21), prav tako ne tudi tehniki zdravstvene nege (M = 1,69, SD = 1,29). Sodelujoči v raziskavi so kot najpomembnejši vzrok za neizvedeno zdravstveno nego navedli neustrezno število kadra (M = 1,59, SD = 0,96). Neizvedena zdravstvena nega lahko negativno vpliva na izide pacientovega zdravljenja, lahko povzroči neželene dogodke in zaplete.
