Skrito nasilje na delovnem mestu - med zanikanjem in trpljenjem

Razlog za pisanje prispevka je dejstvo, da je psihično nasilje (mobbing/bullying) dandanes postalo realnost marsikaterega zaposlenega in delovnih okolij povsod po svetu. Ima resne in uničujoče posledice, tako za žrtev kot tudi za ostale sodelavce, celotno organizacijo in družbo nasploh. Cilj prispevka je opisati fenomenologijo psihičnega nasilja na delovnem mestu in poudariti resnost posledic mobbinga na vseh ravneh

Human resources development in public health foundation

Razvoj kadrov je ključni dejavnik za zagotavljanje konkurenčnosti organizacije na trgu dela. Skrb za kadre ni samo usmerjanje delavcev, kako naj opravljajo svoje delo, temveč je predvsem pomembna skrb za njihov razvoj tako na osebnem strokovnem kot delovnem področju. Zaposleni veliko svojega časa preživijo na delovnem mestu, zato jim organizacija poleg finančnega dohodka predstavlja tudi zelo pomemben mejnik na njihovi življenjski poti. Z razvijanjem managementa človeških virov se prav tako razvija koncept razvoja kadrov, ki je bil na začetku namenjen predvsem strokovnemu, osebnemu in profesionalnemu razvoju posameznika ter usklajevanju želja zaposlenega s ciljem organizacije, pri čemer je bil poudarek na izobraževanju in razvoju kariere. Danes pa razvoj kadrov postaja del strategije organizacije in pomaga pri oblikovanju njene kulture. Nekatere organizacije imajo razvoj kadrov zelo dobro vpeljan v sistem dela, področje zdravstvene nege pa še vedno ostaja nekje v ozadju. Medicinske sestre razvoj kadrov povezujejo predvsem z izobraževanjem na delovnem mestu, ki je trenutno zelo dobro organizirano. Vse prevečkrat pa se pozablja na oblikovanje kariere posamezne medicinske sestre. Kljub številnim novostim, ki so jih deležne javne zdravstvene ustanove, se še vedno uveljavljajo tradicionalne oblike napredovanja medicinskih sester. Dobro oblikovan in strateško vpeljan sistem razvoja kadrov bi medicinskim sestram omogočal strokovni, delovni in osebni razvoj ter jim hkrati zagotavljal možnost uveljavitve svojih potencialov. Tako medicinska sestra ne bi imela več samo statusa oskrbe pacienta, temveč bi prevzemala nove kompetence, ki bi ji omogočale napredovanje na delovnem in finančnem nivoju. Z dobro skrbjo za razvoj kadrov se poveča motiviranost zaposlenih, ta pa prinaša boljše opravljanje zdravstvenih storitev, veča zadovoljstvo pacientov in javni zdravstveni ustanovi prinaša konkurenčnost, kar je eden izmed glavnih ciljev vsake organizacije.The development of human resources is a key factor for ensuring the competitiveness of an organisation on the labour market. The management of human resources does not entail only guidance on how employees should carry out their work, but also their personal and professional development. Employees spend a lot of their time in the workplace, therefore the organisation does not only represent their source of income, but also a very important milestone in their lives. The development of human resources management entails also the development of the concept of human resources development, which at the beginning focused primarily on the expert, personal and professional development of individuals, and on the alignment of the employee\u27s wishes with the organisation\u27s goals, where emphasis was put on education and on career development. Today, human resources development is becoming part of the organisation\u27s strategy and helps build its culture. Some organisations have implemented human resources development into their work system very efficiently, however, the field of nursing has still not been addressed thoroughly. Nurses associate human resources development particularly with in service training, which is currently very well organised. However, career planning for individual nurses is too often neglected. Despite the fact that several innovations were implemented in healthcare institutions, the traditional terms of career promotion still apply for nurses. A well-designed and strategically implemented system of human resources development would enable the expert, professional and personal development of nurses and at the same time give them the possibility to achieve their potential. This way nurses would not only take care of patients, but take on new competences that would enable their promotion on a professional and financial level. With well-managed human resources development the motivation of employees increases, which entails a better provision of healthcare services and greater patient satisfaction, but also increases the competitiveness of the public healthcare institution, which is one of the main goals of every organisation

Most Common Diseases of African Pygmy Hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris) in Captivity

Afrički patuljasti ježevi (Atelerix albiventris) postaju sve popularniji kao kućni ljubimci. Držanjem u zatočeništvu produžuje im se životna dob, a time i povećava pojavnost bolesti pogotovo gerijatrijskih. Ježevi za razliku od ostalih egzotičnih životinja koje se drže kao kućni ljubimci posjeduju određene posebnosti na osnovi kojih je potrebno prilagoditi manipulaciju, klinički pregled i dijagnostičke metode. Također, sami postupci anestezije zbog male veličine životinje i anatomskih osobitosti zahtijevaju određene uvjete. Operativni zahvati, intenzivna njega te liječenje bolesti ježeva osnovani su na postupcima i protokolima koji se primjenjuju i u ostalih malih životinja. Ježevi su u prirodi insektivori, većinu noći su fizički aktivni, a preko dana spavaju. Zbog nepravilnog držanja afričkog patuljastog ježa kao kućnog ljubimca i nepravilne prehrane u zatočeništvu dolazi do pojavnosti pretilosti u ježa, problema sa zubalom, nutritivnih poremećaja i neoplazija. Zbog srodnosti s divljim europskim ježem (Erinaceus europaeus), afrički patuljasti jež primljiv je na mnoštvo različitih zaraznih bolesti i zoonoza koje mogu naštetiti zdravlju životinje, kao i vlasnika te veterinara, ako se sa životinjom ne postupa određenom brigom i sigurnošću u smislu zaštite javnog zdravstva.African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris) are becoming increasingly popular as pets. Keeping them in captivity prolongs their life expectancy and thus increases the incidence of diseases, especially geriatric diseases. Hedgehogs, unlike other exotic animals that are kept as pets, have certain characteristics based on which it is necessary to adjust the manipulation of animals, clinical examination and diagnostic methods. Also, the anesthesia procedures due to the small size of the animal and anatomical significance require certain specific conditions. Surgical procedures, intensive care and treatment of hedgehog diseases are based on procedures and protocols that are applied in other small animals. Hedgehogs are insectivores in nature, they are physically active mostly during the nights and sleep during the day. Improper keeping of the African pygmy hedgehog as a pet and improper diet in captivity lead to the appearance of obesity, dental problems, nutritional disorders and neoplasia. Due to its kinship with the wild European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), the African pygmy hedgehog is susceptible to many different infectious diseases and zoonoses that can harm the health of the animal as well as the owner and veterinarian if the animal is not treated with care and safety in terms of public health

Group AHP framework based on geometric standard deviation and interval group pairwise comparisons

The complexity of multi-criteria decision problems requires the involvement of a group of experts, who can contribute their knowledge, experience and opinions to the decision-making process. The aim of this study is to present a new group analytic hierarchy process (AHP) framework, called GSD-IJ. The main idea is to emphasize group satisfaction with the final decision, which is measured by the group satisfaction index. GSD-IJ is based on geometric mean and geometric standard deviation and allows aggregation of individual scalar valued judgments into interval group judgments. The width of the group interval judgments is controlled by the parameter , which ensures the acceptable degree of uncertainty of interval judgments, while providing the highest possible value of the group satisfaction index. Fuzzy preference programming is used to derive scalar-valued group weights from group interval pairwise comparison matrix. Three examples are given to evaluate and validate GSD-IJ. The results show that GSD-IJ performs well and is suitable for solving group multi-criteria decision problems

Productivity Losses Due to Migraine in Slovenia: An Analysis of Absenteeism and Presenteeism Costs Based on Administrative and Self-Reported Data

Stroški izgub produktivnosti zaradi migrene v Sloveniji

Introduction: Migraine is associated with significant morbidity and a significantly negative impact on the quality of life. A better understanding of the economic impact of migraine is becoming increasingly important. This paper aims to shed light on absenteeism and presenteeism costs of migraine in Slovenia. Methods: We use the administrative national-level database on sick leave due to migraine for 2016. The absenteeism cost estimate is based on the number of patients with migraine on physician-determined sick leave and average daily labour costs. We calculate productivity costs from a social perspective regardless of who incurs them. Data from the national registry on sick leave are coupled with data from a web-based self-reported survey to also include the cost of presenteeism. MIDAS and WPAI presenteeism items were used and several different scenarios were designed to assess presenteeism costs. Results: We estimated annual absenteeism costs per absentee due to migraine at the amount of EUR 531 in 2016 using the NIPH’s administrative data on sick leave. Annual absenteeism costs per absentee due to migraine based on self-reported data amounted to EUR 626. The estimated annual presenteeism costs per patient range from EUR 344 – 900. Conclusion: Estimating the economic burden of a disease is becoming increasingly important. This paper is an insight into the absenteeism and presenteeism costs of migraine in Slovenia
