Introduction: Breastfeeding is particularly important for preterm infants, and not only from a nutritional point of view. The nursing goal is to get babies to breastfeed as early as possible, to initiate and maintain lactation. Premature babies who are unable to suck directly from the breast can be fed with expressed breast milk. The professionalism of the paediatric nurse is also an important factor in all areas. In a rapidly changing health service, paediatric nurses with a high level of cultural understanding, who adhere to all ethical principles and keep abreast of current societal developments, are needed.Aim: The aim of the...

Due to insufficient care capacity, it is necessary to help vulnerable children before they need psychiatric help. The aim of this article is to describe selected social factors affecting the prevalence of mental disorders in children and adolescents. We selected several social factors that affect the...

JNSS 2023, 14(1-2):44-56 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2023.005
This article aims to provide information about cultural and social differences as an obstacle to integrating foreign staff working in research and higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. The theory was based on the individual concept of the social-ecological perspective, which is disadvantaged by an unfamiliar environment, and the intention of internationalizing tertiary education in the Czech Republic. This questionnaire-based quantitative research was supplemented with open-ended questions to increase its validity. The questions were processed using open coding without counting frequencies. The reason for this was to find out aspects...
