| Abstract | Prema Agenciji za visoko obrazovanje i znanost, sestrinstvo je regulirana profesija u
Republici Hrvatskoj. Nove kompetencije medicinske sestre mogu steći dodatnom edukacijom
(horizontalna razina) ili višim stupnjem obrazovanja (vertikalna razina). Otvaranjem
sveučilišnog diplomskog studija sestrinstva u Republici Hrvatskoj obrazovanje medicinskih
sestara u Republici Hrvatskoj ostvarilo je izjednačavanje sa obrazovanjem diljem Europske
Unije. Za razvoj sestrinstva kao discipline i profesije ključna je pojava kritične mase
visokoobrazovanih i motiviranih sestara koje će svojim znanstvenim i stručnim radom
doprinijeti generiranju novih spoznaja te boljitku zdravstvene skrbi na korist bolesnika i
zajednice, ali i medicinskih sestara kao profesionalaca i same struke. U Republici Hrvatskoj je
aktivno 16 diplomskih studijskih programa sestrinstva, 5 specijalističkih i 11 sveučilišnih.
Programi se razlikuju te se unatoč ukupnom velikom broju kolegija (N=522), samo tri kolegija
pojavljuju na svim studijskim programima. Od ukupnog broja predavača (N=521) na
sveučilišnim studijima, zastupljenost predavača - medicinskih sestara je 19% (N=97), dok je
na specijalističkim studijima od ukupnog broja predavača (N=173) zastupljenost predavača -
medicinskih sestara 14% (N=25). Od ukupnog broja nositelja kolegija (N=198) na sveučilišnim
studijima medicinskih sestara je 4% (N=8), a na specijalističkim studijima od ukupnog broja
nositelja kolegija (N=116) medicinskih sestara je 11% (N=13). Četiri osnovne kompetencije
magistre sestrinstva definirane su Zakonom te nisu zastupljene na svim diplomskim studijima
sestrinstva. Kroz izvedbene planove i elaborate prepoznato je 8 kompetencija koje su
zastupljene na studijima, no također ne na svima. |
| Abstract (english) | According to the Agency for Science and Higher Education, nursing is a regulated
profession in the Republic of Croatia. New competencies for nurses can be acquired through
additional education (horizontal level) or higher level of education (vertical level). With the
opening of university graduate nursing programs in Croatia, the education of nurses in Croatia
has been equated with education throughout the European Union. For the development of
nursing as a discipline and a profession, the appearance of a critical mass of highly educated
and motivated nurses, whose contribution will enable new evidence based scientific
knowledge, and for the improvement of health care for patients and the community, as well as
for nurses as professionals, is crucial. In Republic of Croatia, there are sixteen active graduate
nursing programs, 5 specialist programs, and 11 university programs. The programs differ, and
despite the total number of courses (N=522), only three courses appear in all study programs.
Of the total number of lecturers (N=521) in university studies, the representation of lecturers -
nurses is 19% (N = 97), while in specialist studies, of the total number of lecturers (N = 173),
the representation of lecturers - nurses is 14% (N =25). Out of the total number of course
holders (N=198) in university nursing studies, 4% (N=8) are nurses, and in specialist studies,
from the total number of course holders (N=116), nurses are 11% (N=13). The four basic
competencies of the master's degree in nursing are defined by law and are not represented in
all graduate studies in nursing. Through the curricula, 8 competencies were recognized, which
are represented in the studies, but also not in all of them. |
