Introduction: The use of music in midwifery is a new research field and further studies and clear evidence are needed to make it a valuable element of midwifery care. The aim of the study was to prove the influence of education of pregnant women and listening to classical music on the frequency and length of breastfeeding at discharge from the maternity hospital and 6 weeks after delivery. ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā
Subjects and methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in 2019. The sample consisted of pregnant women from the area of Hercegbosna County, 198 of them (N=198).
Results: No significant difference was found in the frequency of exclusive breastfeeding and feeding with supplementation between the experimental and control groups at discharge (88.9% vs 92.2%). A significantly larger number of subjects in the experimental group were exclusively breastfed compared to the control group after 6 weeks (ĻĀ²=4.541; df=1; p-0.033).
Conclusion: The results indicate that investments in the development of the competencies of pregnant women and the creation of conditions in maternity hospitals can significantly affect the duration of exclusive breastfeeding
KVALITETA ŽIVOTA ŽENA OBOLJELIH OD RAKA DOJKE
UVOD: Rak dojke je najÄeÅ”Äa zloÄudna bolest kod žena. UnatoÄ velikim iskoracima u lijeÄenju tijek bolesti, lijeÄenje i psiholoÅ”ki izazovi negativno utjeÄu na kvalitetu života oboljelih. Žene oboljele od raka dojke imaju,pored fiziÄkih simptoma
bolesti i poveÄan rizik za razvoj psihiÄkih tegoba uzrokovanih emocionalnom traumom i promjenom životnih okolnosti.
CILJ: Ukazati u kojoj mjeri rak dojke utjeÄe na kvalitetu života te na znaÄaj pružanja psihosocijalne pomoÄi i podrÅ”ke
oboljelim ženama.
METODE: Primijenili smo pretraživanje kliniÄkih istraživanja biomedicinske baze podataka Pub Med u desetogodiÅ”njem
razdoblju pomoÄu kljuÄnih rijeÄi te najnovijih kliniÄkih istraživanja u Bosni i Hercegovini u bazi podataka Google znalac.
REZULTATI: Analizom kliniÄkih istraživanja po opisanoj metodologiji može se zakljuÄiti kako je utjecaj bolesti na
kvalitetu života kod žena oboljelih od raka dojke multidimenzionalan. Sve studije navode smanjenu kvalitetu socijalne i
psiholoŔke domene.
ZAKLJUÄAK: PodrÅ”ka u zajednici, a ponajprije obitelji izrazito su važan izvor potpore pacijenticama oboljelim od raka
dojke. U proces lijeÄenja neophodno Å”to ranije aktivno ukljuÄiti obitelj, a u zdravstvenu skrb duhovnost/religioznost.
Analizom literature zakljuÄilismo da multidisciplinaran pristup i kontinuirana suradnja struÄnjaka raznih profila imaju
pozitivan utjecaj na kvalitetu života, a samim tim i na ishode lijeÄenja
KVALITETA ŽIVOTA ŽENA OBOLJELIH OD RAKA DOJKE NA PODRUÄJU LIVNA
UVOD: Rak dojke je najÄeÅ”Äa zloÄudna bolest kod žena, a s poveÄanjem životne dobi rizik raka raste. Samoprocjena
kvalitete života kod osoba s malignitetom danas je cilj mnogih istraživanja, ponajprije radi poboljŔanja rehabilitacijskih
i terapijskih postupaka, te Ŕto dugotrajnijeg i kvalitetnijeg preživljavanja. Cilj istraživanja je ispitati kvalitetu života žena
oboljelih od raka dojke na podruÄju Livna.
ISPITANICI I METODE: PresjeÄna studija je provedena na uzorku od 65 ispitanica (n=65). Kriteriji ukljuÄenja bili su:
žene oboljele i lijeÄene od raka dojke na podruÄju Livna, te zdrave žene (tj. bez raka). Kriteriji iskljuÄenja: žene koje nisu
Älanice Udruge žena oboljelih od raka dojke āBistricaā (kliniÄki uzorak), dob manja od 18 godina, ispitanice s psihijatrijskom dijagnozom, te one s viÅ”e kroniÄnih bolesti radi moguÄeg utjecaja na kvalitetu života. Podaci su prikupljeni na osnovu upitnika: upitnik sa sociodemografskim obilježjima i upitnik kvalitete života (WHOQOL-BREF).
REZULTATI: U kliniÄkom uzorku je viÅ”e visoko obrazovanih žena i onih koje žive same. Ispitanice iz kliniÄkog uzorka najviÅ”om su procijenile kvalitetu svog psiholoÅ”kog stanja, a najnižom kvalitetu socijalnih interakcija. Dokazano je statistiÄki
znaÄajno manje zadovoljstvo fiziÄkim zdravljem kod ispitanica kliniÄkog uzorka.
ZAKLJUÄAK: Nije naÄena statistiÄki znaÄajna razlika u opÄem zadovoljstvu kvalitetom života kod žena oboljelih od raka
dojke u odnosu na zdrave žene. NajveÄa razlika izmeÄu oboljelih i zdravih žena je u zadovoljstvu prijevoznim sredstvima,
sposobnosti obavljanja svakodnevnih poslova i prihvaÄanju izmijenjenog tjelesnog izgleda
ZNANJE, STAV I PRAKSA ZDRAVSTVENIH DJELATNIKA O OBVEZNOM CIJEPLJENJU NA PODRUÄJU HERCEGBOSANSKE ŽUPANIJE
UVOD: Cijepljenje je dokazano sredstvo za kontroliranje i eliminiranje životno ugrožavajuÄi infektivnih bolesti,te se smatra najisplativijom zdravstvenom investicijom. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio ispitati znanje, stav i praksu zdravstvenih djelatnika o obveznom cijepljenju na podruÄju Hercegbosanske županije.
ISPITANICI I METODE: Ispitanici u ovom istraživanju bili su doktori medicine i medicinske sestre/tehniÄari zaposleni u
Županijskoj bolnici āDr. fra Mihovil SuÄiÄā i Domu zdravlja Livno. Podaci su prikupljeni tijekom studenog 2014. godine
dobrovoljnim anonimnim ispunjavanjem posebno kreiranog Upitnika za ispitivanje znanja, stava i prakse zdravstvenih
djelatnika o obveznom cijepljenju na podruÄju HBŽ.
REZULTATI: Pokazalo se da veÄina zdravstvenih djelatnika ima dobro znanje o obveznom cijepljenju. VeÄina zdravstvenih djelatnika ima pozitivne stavove prema obveznom cijepljenju. No, unatoÄ pozitivnim stavovima, zdravstveni djelatnici
s podruÄja HBŽ svojim praktiÄnim djelovanjem ne potkrepljuju svoje stavove, jer osim Å”to ih je tek 60 % procijepljeno
protiv hepatitisa B, uglavnom ne savjetuju cijepljenje, ne promoviraju koristi cijepljenja i ne educiraju se o ovoj temi.
ZAKLJUÄAK: Znanje zdravstvenih djelatnika o obveznom cijepljenju na podruÄju Hercegbosanske županije je dovoljno,
stavovi pozitivni, no izostaje praktiÄno djelovanje
KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES ON MANDATORY VACCINATION AMONG STUDENTS OF THE FACULTY OF HEALTH STUDIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MOSTAR
Introduction: Vaccination against infectious diseases is the most effective, cost-effective, often unavoidable,
or the only possible way to protect individuals and the population from infectious diseases. In the last ten
years, a lack of understanding and knowledge about the benefits of vaccination has led to a decline in the
number of vaccinated children and the danger of the reappearance of already eradicated infectious diseases.
Objective: To examine the knowledge and attitudes about mandatory vaccination of children among
students of the Faculty of Health Studies and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Mostar.
Respondents and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted, which included 150 respondents in the
third and fourth year of study, 50 respondents from the Faculty of Medicine, and 100 respondents from the
Nursing and Sanitary Engineering study tracks at the Faculty of Health Studies. Data were collected through
a self-assessment questionnaire. Results: Over 90% of respondents have a positive attitude towards
vaccination and would vaccinate their children. The results show that respondents form their attitudes about
vaccination based on academic activities. Students with a positive attitude about vaccination also showed
greater knowledge about it. Nursing students have the weakest knowledge, followed by showing a greater
aversion to vaccines than other respondents. More than a quarter of respondents are convinced of the
connection between autism and vaccines, and this is also the case for autoimmune diseases.
Conclusion: Although students of biomedical studies have positive attitudes about vaccination, the level of
knowledge was more significant among students of the Faculty of Medicine compared to the study tracks
of the Faculty of Health Studies
NON-MELANOMA SKIN CARCINOMAS OF THE HEAD AND NECK
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical features of non-melanoma tumors of the head and
neck, as well as the validity of surgical therapy in their treatment.
Subjects and methods: The study included 530 patients who were operated in the Otorhinolaryngology department of the Livno
County Hospital.
Results: In 295 cases (65.1%), it was basal cell carcinoma of the skin and was followed by squamous cell carcinoma of the skin,
in 119 cases (29.9%) while the remaining 5% of cases referred to other non-melanoma skin carcinomas. Statistically significant, the
most common non-melanoma skin carcinoma was basal cell carcinoma (hi-kvadrat =625,67; df=4; p<0,01). The most co mmon localization
was the skin of the nose (24,2%), which proved to be statistically significant (hi-kvadrat =290,824; df=5; p=0,00). All patient underwent
classic surgery, and in 358 cases (89.5%) the tumor was completely removed, while in 40 cases (10.5%) the tumor was partially
removed which proved to be statisticaly significant (hi-kvadrat =254,08; df=1; p=0,00).
Conclusions: The results of the study fully confirm the assertion that classical surgery is the method of choice in the treatment of
non-melanoma skin cancers and in the vast majority it is proven to be sufficient
