“…V skupine študentov ošetrovateľstva, ktorí pripúšťajú možnosť v budúcnosti sa venovať práci s geriatrickými pacientmi bola signifi kantne vyššia úroveň EI v porovnaní so študent-mi, ktorí záujem o prácu s geriatrickými pacientmi odmietli. Naše výsledky nás vedú k úvahe, že jedným Globálne skóre EI u študentov nášho výskumu, ktoré bolo zistené v SEIS 131,3 (SO = 9,39), je podobné ako sú zistenia iných štúdií (Pau, Croucher, 2003;Spence et al, 2004). Por et al (2011, s. 856) namerali skóre EI (SEIS, 33 položiek) u žien (n = 117) 124,6 (SD 11.5), u mužov (n = 13) 127,9 (SD 12,7).…”

Aim: Th e aim of the study was to identify statistically signifi cant diff erences in levels of emotional intelligence (EI) of nursing students in relation with demographic data (age and year of study) and also determine whether the EI level of nursing students aff ects their interest in the issue of geriatric nursing. Methods: Th e sample consisted of 86 full-time undergraduate university students of nursing. To measure the level of EI, questionnaires representing diff erent understanding of EI were used. EI as an ability was determined by the SIT-EMO (Situational Test of Emotional Understanding). EI as a trait was evaluated by the questionnaire SEIS (Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale). Th e questionnaire of own construction ESE-GP (Emotional self-effi cacygeriatric patient) assessed the level of EI of students in the process of caring for geriatric patients. Results: Th ere were no statistically signifi cant diff erences in the students' level of EI in terms of demographic data (age and year of study). A statistically signifi cant association (p < 0.05) was found between the students' level of EI (SEIS) and their promising interest to pursue geriatric nursing. Conclusion: Th e results can be applied in particular institutions providing nursing education, which can focus attention on the development of EI in the process of education of nursing students.

“…Health-related quality of life is negatively associated with perceived stress among health professions students, [1][2][3][4][5][6] with student pharmacists reporting higher psychological distress than nursing and medical students. 7,8 Stress triggers reported by student pharmacists include academic workload and examinations, relationship problems, financial concerns, and difficulty of combining and organizing their study and leisure time.…”

Objective. To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of student pharmacists and explore factors related to HRQoL outcomes of student pharmacists in a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program at a public university. Methods. A survey instrument was administered to all student pharmacists in a PharmD program at a public university to evaluate differences and factors related to the HRQoL outcomes of first-year (P1), second-year (P2), third-year (P3), and fourth-year (P4) student pharmacists in the college. The survey instrument included attitudes and academic-related self-perception, a 12-item short form health survey, and personal information components.Results. There were 304 students (68.6%) who completed the survey instrument. The average health state classification measure and mental health component scale (MCS-12) scores were significantly higher for P4 students when compared with the P1through P3 students. There was no difference observed in the physical component scale (PCS-12) scores among each of the 4 class years. Significant negative impact on HRQoL outcomes was observed in students with higher levels of confusion about how they should study (scale lack of regulation) and concern about not being negatively perceived by others (self-defeating ego orientation), while school satisfaction increased HRQoL outcomes (SF-6D, p<0.001; MCS-12, p=0.013). A greater desire to be judged capable (self-enhancing ego-orientation) and career satisfaction were positively associated with the PCS-12 scores (p<0.05). Conclusion. Factors associated with the HRQoL of student pharmacists were confusion regarding how to study, ego orientation, satisfaction with the chosen college of pharmacy, and career satisfaction. First-year through third-year student pharmacists had lower HRQoL as compared with P4 students and the US general population. Support programs may be helpful for students to maintain or improve their mental and overall health.

“…[18] Burnout has been described as professional exhaustion, [19] and it is characterised by a loss of enthusiasm for work and a low sense of personal accomplishment. [16] Both the personal and educational environments can contribute to stress, but students perceived that workload and a sense of self-efficacy influenced burnout, as seen in a Columbian study where 7% (n=394) of students experienced burnout.…”

Background. Stress is prevalent among dental workers and students. A possible means to address this would be to include stress management programmes in undergraduate dental programmes. The purpose of this study was to establish how the current cohort of dental practitioners incorporate occupational health and self-care principles into professional practice, and their potential relevance to future curriculum design. Objectives. To gain input from participants regarding stress and burnout -their causes, implications and prevention -as linked to their practice in dentistry. Methods. A qualitative research design was used, with a purposive sampling technique. The study population consisted of dentists, dental therapists, hygienists and specialists. A total of 36 participants participated in four focus-group discussions to explore dental education, occupational health, stress and self-care. The data were thematically analysed. Results. Dental training in the South African context, occupational health experiences, self-care, coping strategies and education were the main themes that emerged. Dental services in the public sector were reported to be overwhelmed by high patient volumes and shortages of staff and resources, which added to these stressors. The coping strategies adopted were exercise, stretching, reducing workload and encouraging teamwork. The participants believed that the causes of musculoskeletal disorders, and their impact, should be taught in dental training, as students do not perceive this as a potential problem. A multidisciplinary approach and teamwork training are the recommendations for curricula. Conclusion. Stress management techniques and workplace posture assessment should be taught in preclinical training to make students aware of managing stress and correct working postures. A multidisciplinary approach should be used. Dental curricula should include occupational health safety principles. KZN (ref. no. HSS/1490/015D). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants, who were informed of their right to withdraw from the study at any stage. All participants agreed to participate and to have an audio recording made of the interview. Anonymity of participants was maintained throughout the study by using participant codes instead of names. The participants filled out an anonymous demographic information sheet. The audio recordings were transcribed verbatim, and the transcripts checked for accuracy. Member check, or respondent validation, was conducted to establish validity. The data were then analysed thematically. Broad themes were identified, according to the main aim, and then further refined and coded until the final analysis was complete.
