Uvod: Profesionalno udruživanje medicinskih sestra na našim prostorima kasnih 1960-ih obilježilo je osnivanje sekcija koje se profiliraju prema određenim sestrinskim specijalnostima. Među njima bila je i pneumoftiziološka (pulmološka) sekcija. Današnji nasljednici tih sekcija jesu društva Hrvatske udruge medicinskih sestara (HUMS). Sekcije/društva čine jezgru profesionalne i stručne komunikacije, no o njihovu radu postoji vrlo malo publikacija. Stoga je cilj ovog rada prikazati djelovanje Pulmološkog društva HUMS-a u razdoblju od osnivanja 1974. do 2021. godine.
Metode: Podaci prikazani u radu prikupljeni su iz zapisnika skupština i izvještaja o radu Pneumoftiziološke sekcije Društva medicinskih sestara i medicinskih tehničara SR Hrvatske / Pulmološkog društva HUMS-a. Vrijedan izvor podataka za razdoblje od 1975. do 1989. godine bio je Bilten koji je izdavala sekcija. Dodatno su korišteni zbornici radova s održanih skupova.
Rezultati: Pneumoftiziološka sekcija Društva medicinskih sestara i medicinskih tehničara SR Hrvatske osnovana je 22. studenog 1974. godine s ciljem stručnog usavršavanja članova i rješavanja stručnih problema. Danas djeluje pod nazivom Pulmološko društvo HUMS-a. Društvo je organiziralo četrdeset dva stručna skupa, brojne seminare, radionice, studijske posjete i javnozdravstvene aktivnosti. Od 1975. do 1989. godine izdana su dvadeset tri broja Biltena – stručnog glasila Pneumoftiziološke sekcije, u kojem su objavljivani stručni radovi te planovi i izvještaji o radu. Od 1998. do 2008. godine objavljena su četiri zbornika radova sa stručnih skupova. Članovi Pulmološkog društva objavljivali su stručne radove i u drugim publikacijama. Djelatnost Pulmološkog društva ostvarivana je u suradnji s drugim stručnim društvima medicinskih sestara i liječnika, zdravstvenim ustanovama i tijelima državne uprave.
Zaključak: Pulmološko društvo HUMS-a kontinuirano djeluje četrdeset sedam godina. Sukladno ciljevima osnivanja, ključna djelatnost bila mu je organizacija raznih oblika trajnog stručnog usavršavanja medicinskih sestara. U najranijim godinama djelovanja Pulmološko društvo objavljivalo je stručno glasilo Bilten, a kasnije zbornike radova sa stručnih skupova. Cjelokupnu djelatnost Pulmološkog društva obilježila je suradnja s drugim stručnim društvima i organizacijama.Introduction. The professional association of nurses in Croatia and Ex-Yugoslavia during the late 1960s marked the establishment of sections profiled according to certain nursing specialties. One of them was the section of pneumophthisiology (pulmonology). Current successors of these Sections are the Societies of the CNA. Sections/societies make up the core of professional and expert communication, but there are very few publications on their work. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight the activities of the Pulmonology society of the CNA since its inception in 1974 until 2021.
Methods. The data presented in the paper was collected from the minutes of assemblies and work reports of the Pneumophthisiology Section of the Nurses’ Society of the Socialist Republic of Croatia / the Pulmonology Society of the CNA. A valuable source of information from the time between 1975 and 1989 was the Bulletin that was published by the Section. Additionally, conference proceedings from conferences held were also used.
Results. The Pneumophthisiology section of the Society of Nurses of the Socialist Republic of Croatia was founded on 22 November 1974 with the aim of providing professional education to members and solving professional issues. Today it operates as the Pulmonology Society of the Croatian Nurses’ Association. It organized forty-two professional conferences, numerous seminars, workshops, study visits and public health activities. From 1975 to 1989, twenty-three issues of the professional journal of the Pneumophthisiology section, the so called “Bulletin”, were published. The Bulletin published papers, work plans, and work reports. From 1998 to 2008 four conference proceedings from professional conferences were published. Members of the Pulmonology Society also published papers in other publications. The activities of the Pulmonology Society were carried out in cooperation with other professional societies of nurses and doctors, as well as health care organizations and state administration bodies.
Conclusion. The Pulmonology Society of the CNA has been continuously active for forty-seven years. In accordance with the aims of its establishment, its key activity was the organization of various forms of professional education for nurses. In the earliest years of its activity, the Pulmonology Society published its professional journal, the “Bulletin”, and later also conference proceedings from professional conferences. The hallmark of the Pulmonology Society’s entire activity was cooperation with other professional societies and organizations
