Stavovi studenata studija sestrinstva Zdravstvenog veleučilišta o sestrinstvu u Hrvatskoj

Abstract

Sestrinstvo je danas priznata profesija koju nitko ne osporava. Moderno sestrinstvo favorizira edukaciju kao prioritet u profesionalnom životu medicinskih sestara. Više i visoko obrazovanje medicinskih sestara standard je u modernim državama. Uspješnost medicinske sestre ne ovisi samo o njezinoj humanosti i sposobnosti svladavanja suvremene tehnologije nego i o trajnoj edukaciji medicinskih sestara. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je istražiti kakvi su stavovi i mišljenja studenata svih godina preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva o sestrinstvu, identitetu profesije, ulozi i položaju u zdravstvenom timu i obrazovanju, odnosno promjenama i mogućnostima u obrazovanju medicinskih sestara i tehničara u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju je sudjelovao ukupno 281 sudionik sa svih godina preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva. Najveći broj ispitanih, njih 87,19 % (N = 245) u dobi je od 19 do 22 godine, prema očekivanju, veći je broj ispitanih osoba ženskog spola, njih 91,46 % (N = 257), dok je u istraživanju sudjelovalo samo 8,54 % (N = 24) ispitanika muškog spola. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na veliku zainteresiranost za jačanje sestrinstva kao profesije te napredak sestrinstva k svjetlijoj i boljoj budućnosti u Republici Hrvatskoj.
