Introduction: Venipuncture is a standard invasive procedure in children that causes pain, leading to procedural anxiety. It emphasises the clinical importance of adequate analgesia and the need to identify effective non-pharmacological procedures. Goal: This study primarily aims to comparatively evaluate the analgesic efficacy of four non-pharmacological interventions: Buzzy® vibrating device, local cooling, felinotherapy, and oral stimulation with a lollipop - compared to standard care (control group) in children aged 4-11 years undergoing venipuncture. The secondary goal was to compare the assessment of pain intensity by the child and the parent....

Contemporary situation: The priority of nursing care for a newborn in the delivery room is to ensure its safety, and clinical observation and instrumental monitoring can be used for this purpose. Early education in the prenatal period allows the mother and accompanying person to be involved in the safe care of the newborn. Goal: The main goal of this research was to map the nursing care of newborns in the delivery room immediately after birth, emphasising safety and preventing sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC). Methods: A semi-structured interview with nursing staff caring for newborns in delivery rooms in selected hospitals in South Bohemia...

The study examined the efficacy of self-regulation empowerment training and scaffolding in managing dyscalculia among public secondary school students in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State. Two research questions were raised with their corresponding hypotheses, and tested at a 0.05 significance level. The study was quasi-experimental with a pretest, posttest, and control group. The study utilised the 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 factorial design. It consisted of two treatments (Self-Regulation Empowerment Training and Scaffolding) and a control group, which served as the independent variables. For this study, a multistage sampling procedure was used...

JNSS 2025, 16(1):31-37 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2025.001  

Goals: This research examines how foreign foster parents perceive the ethnicity of children of Romani origin that they adopt, and how this influences their family and community relationships. It focuses on transracial adoption, the child's cultural identity, and inclusion within foster care. Particular attention is paid to how parents have implemented strategies for integrating the child into the new family and how they deal with possible prejudices from the surrounding environment. Methods: The research is based on a qualitative thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with five foreign surrogate parents living in the Czech Republic. The respondents...

This research aims to analyse the personality traits of social workers in different areas of social work using the NEO-FFI questionnaire, one of the most widely used instruments for measuring the five main personality dimensions. Although this instrument is commonly used in psychological research, no studies are available to date that examine the personality structure of social workers using the NEO-FFI. This study, therefore, represents an innovative approach to understanding how personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) influence performance and satisfaction in this demanding profession....

Despite relatively low radiation doses, dental diagnostic methods pose a particular health risk to patients. The results of recent developments are the so-called cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices; the main principle of which is to create a 3D image using a cone beam of radiation. The most significant benefit is the possibility of increasing the anatomical accuracy of the position of the imaged location in the patient's body. The presented study aimed to analyse the data, especially the Dose Area Product (DAP) size in patients undergoing dental examinations using CBCT and panoramic X-ray equipment. A comparison of CBCT examinations with the...
