The formation of social work as a scientific discipline is not a completed process because of with changes in society also change social problems that need to be identified and analyzed with the intention to develop methodological solutions aimed at preventing and interventing these social problems.For this reason, the field of social work as such is constantly expanding, as its dynamic nature makes it possible to respond to emerging social problems and react to the needs of society.

Social work in the school environment is a functioning science field abroad.In the conditions of the Slovak Republic, this area of social work is still missing.Therefore, the monograph deals with the possibilities of social work in the school environment in Slovakia. 

The monograph is primarily intended for the professionals working in the field of social work and in the third sector with children and youth.

The current situation in the world education system, which declares the need to educate students for knowledge society, for improving the graduate employability is behind the motivation of authors to address competencies and key competencies for the knowledge society.

The authors present theoretical and empirical investigations based on the application of scientific methods of competency assessment and the use of contemporary scientific paradigms. The starting point is the concept of competencies in the context of current approaches of scientific psychology, which resonates in the official documents of the European Union and has been elaborated and enriched by the authors. The monograph focuses on a selected set of competencies, namely: competence to act as a self-regulated person, self-development, decision-making competencies, social and metacognitive competencies in the context of motivation. Knowledge about nature, the structure of competencies are presented, as well as their relations with personal and environmental variables.

The effort of the authors is also aimed at making available knowledge about the possibilities of assessing these competencies using current methods. Authors communicate the results of the creation and verification of competency assessment methods. The implementation of the research results presented in the monograph is perspective in the education and counseling of the target group of university students.

The burnout syndrome in the simplest sense is a state of total physical and psychological exhaustion. Its cyclical course may be misleading, often underestimated and neglected on the part of a burned-out individual, as well as by its surroundings. The neglection of warning signals strengthens the field of its occurrence and impact.

Monography is one of the methods with which we strive to draw attention to the problem of burnout syndrome in the performance of a helping profession. Based on this, we have focused on determining the frequency of occurrence of burnout syndrome in assisting professions based on predetermined risk factors (specific profesion, length of practice, motivators) in order to verify, confirm or refute  predefined factors. The subject of this research was also to examine the correlation between the aforementioned factors, the quality of professional life and the strategies for managing stress and stress situations.

The monography is intended for helping profesions e.g. social workers, nurses, doctors etc. We also believe that, this monography will be also benefit for a wider range of helping professions, as well for all those involved in the his problematics.

Issues of punishment are directly linked to a state’s criminal policy, which is an inseparable part of its social policy. Historically, the state has held a unique dominant position in the realm of punishment. Once the conditions for imposing a penalty are met, the state fulfills its obligation by sentencing through independent courts. However, it does not address questions of satisfaction, which belong to the victim. The victim may be a specific physical person or legal entity that suffered harm due to the criminal act. This harm simultaneously affects civil society as a whole. The state prioritizes its duty to punish and decide on the matter over compensating the harmed individual or civil society.

By mediation in criminal cases, we mean extrajudicial facilitation of resolving disputes between the offender and the harmed party, with the assistance and personal participation of a mediator. The mediator, as an independent and impartial person, helps parties identify their interests and supports them in finding shared, practical, and realistic solutions to the points causing their conflict. Probation refers to monitoring, supervising the accused, defendant, or convicted individual, as well as providing individual assistance to the offender and encouraging them to lead a lawful life. This reduces the risk of recidivism, or repeated criminal behavior.

The complex of legal norms protecting work, ensuring safety and health protection at work, is very broad in scope, extending beyond the Labour Code to include other specific legal regulations, collective agreements, executive legal regulations, and internal corporate normative acts.

Health protection of employees from hazardous workplace influences is a central requirement stemming from fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. To ensure its universal enforcement across all employers in both private and public sectors, strict regulation through cogent norms is fully justified. The European Commission’s Communication to the European Parliament, Council, European Economic and Social Committee, and Committee of the Regions on the EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014–2020 (COM(2014) 332 final) addresses the need to account for labor market changes arising from demographic shifts, aging populations, and technological advancements.

Work pace demands are intensifying, and all age categories of employees must adapt to new technologies, organizational changes, and evolving job structures. This increases requirements for maintaining health fitness throughout entire professional careers. Mental health fitness, which receives insufficient specific attention, is an inherent part of health fitness requirements. Prevention plays a critical role in mental health protection.

Research into justice in public administration organizations has not yet been conducted in Slovakia, not even in the scope of respondents addressed. Therefore, we consider the project cross-sectional, current, and beneficial for deeper exploration of this area.

The project is designed as interdisciplinary, combining insights from legal perspectives in defining justice from labor law aspects, psychological and ethical evaluations of fairness levels, and knowledge from public administration management fields.

The inspiration for selecting this topic stems from its academic relevance, confirmed by both domestic and international studies, as well as its public relevance, where laypeople most intensely perceive justice/injustice in relation to remuneration and appropriate labor-law conditions – exemplified by teachers’ strikes (2003, 2006, 2016), nurses’ strikes (2003, 2006, 2012, 2016), ŽSR employees’ strikes (2003), and doctors’ strikes (2011).

Heidegger – Nietzsche (problém interpretácie)

Heidegger – Nietzsche (problém interpretácie)

E-book

E-book

Štefan Jusko

The stimulus for this monograph was my two studies on Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s ideas of the will to power and eternal return of the same, published in Heidegger and Modern Metaphysics (supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency, APVV-14-0706, under the leadership of V. Leška and M. Sobotka). In the submitted monograph, I present both studies in expanded (particularly “Will to Power as Art”) and refined versions (“Eternal Return of the Same”) and add a third chapter addressing the question of the meaning of interpreting philosophical texts, which themselves are interpretations of other texts.

In seeking an appropriate approach to the meaning of interpretation, I conclude that—generally—the purpose of interpretation is to uncover the productive dimension of the interpreted text, which can only be revealed if the interpreter enters the text openly and as neutrally as possible. If the interpreter does not open themselves to the text, allowing it to interpret them in turn, interpretation remains trapped. I believe that without mutual openness between interpreter and interpreted, interpretation has no meaning and typically becomes either rejection or misinterpretation—a form of violence.

In the third chapter, which I consider foundational, I attempt to “balance” the interpretive context of “Heidegger–Nietzsche” from the first two chapters through a reversible context of “Nietzsche–Heidegger,” albeit with the risk that my interpretation of Nietzsche’s thought—specifically his ideas of eternal return and will to power—may remain subjective, even if unintended as misinterpretation. Ultimately, the ambition of the third chapter is to explore intersections between the two philosophers, one of which—a rudimentary yet significant overlap—I identify as Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world, reinterpreted through Nietzsche’s lens. It is Nietzsche who challenges us to adopt a self-defined stance toward the world, to confront what it means to be in the world.

The challenge for me—and perhaps the reader—is to remain faithful to oneself, which is only possible by persisting in the context of mutual interpretation between interpreter and interpreted, regardless of who/what is interpreting or being interpreted. For the context of being-in-the-world is always co-created by both sides.

Vladimír Lichner - Dušan Šlosár et al.

It is very difficult to refer to any act of extremism or action having extremist characteristics, or to exclude it unambiguously. The boundary between extremism and accepted, conformal behavior is very broad and vaguely worded. Each company tends to set certain criteria to determine what can be considered as unwanted, violent, radical or extreme, or what signs of such a manifestation do not have. Therefore, when comparing the individual countries of the European Union in this area, we come across a different definition of what is or is not considered to be radical or extremist. In essence, the level of tolerance to some of the manifestations and the setting of indicators for the evaluation of the proceedings as extremist.

The presented monograph aims to present the basic social contexts of extremism and radicalization in the form of their philosophical and theoretical backgrounds, influencing the factors, the basic directions. In the author's work, the authors focus on the target group of adolescents, which they consider to be one of the most endangered groups in society in terms of development of the radicalization process. At the conclusion of the monograph is also offered the criminal level of these phenomena, which is not unavoidable in terms of complex analysis.

Nutrition is among the fundamental needs of humans. A good nutritional status directly impacts an individual’s growth and development, health maintenance, and quality of life. This university textbook addresses nutrition in the context of dietetics and therapeutic nutrition, offering an overview of basic food components such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

It provides detailed insights into nutritional requirements across different developmental stages. In assessing nutritional status, it explores evaluation methods, including nutritional screening, anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests.

The text clarifies the structure of nutritional care systems for patients in home settings, healthcare facilities, and social institutions through a unified dietary system that defines basic and specialized diets. Alternative nutrition methods are discussed separately, with enteral and parenteral nutrition serving as alternatives during unfavorable health conditions.

The authors focus on application techniques and complications associated with these methods. The book concludes with food safety considerations and foundational principles of the European Union’s food policy. Currently, dietetics and therapeutic nutrition form a critical component of professional training for healthcare students in both undergraduate and postgraduate education, for whom this textbook is designed.

The proposed text focuses on the history of studying biology, medicine, and pharmacy as scientific disciplines from prehistoric times through antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. The text chronologically organizes the most significant figures in the history of biological scientific disciplines, outlines key characteristics of major historical discoveries, and reevaluates their significance from the perspective of 21st-century science.

The educational text is chronologically divided into the most significant periods of civilization development. The last two completed centuries—the 19th and 20th—are subdivided into major life science fields due to the unprecedented growth of biological disciplines and the resulting volume of acquired information.

Since it can sometimes be challenging in science to define what constitutes the past versus the present of a particular discipline, we have excluded significant biological discoveries from the early 21st century, which are typically regarded as the “present” of biology.

The last decade marks not only the average life expectancy increase in healthy population, but also life expectancy increase in group of people with intellectual disorders/disabilities. Due to their diagnosis that defines and classifies them into specific categories, people with intellectual disability are finding themselves in a constant confrontation with obstacles negatively affecting the saturation of their existential needs. It creates mostly educational, social, cultural, psycho-social and economical disadvantage in the context of their lives. Consequently, their active potential is weakened, making it unable for them to influence public affairs in society from a position of an adult or elderly citizen. Building up on this condition, the focus of this monograph is on understanding and explanation of prevailing concept of social inclusion and related concepts of social exclusion. These concepts influence the way we tend to define and think about the character of society, as such.

Simultaneously, we are examining that the quality of coexistence between dominant population and people with intellectual disabilities is dependent on the development of attitudes and opinions of major population towards this specific minority. These attitudes reflect the extent of social tolerance and at the same time serve as a quantification of moral values and equity in the society, whether it concerns any type of small everyday help or professional and institutionalised long-term support.

This monograph focuses on presenting professional care for people with mental disability in form of social services as a dominant type of support in our local environment. We show that the quality of social services inevitably depends on degree of professional competences social workers possess. The significance of professional competences social workers are capable of using is reflected in the degree of the competence and adequacy of their performance. The primary aim, in relation to which professional competences should be accustomed, is to enhance meaningfulness and dignity in life of mentally disabled receivers of the social services.

Competences of social workers are a dynamic phenomenon that modifies along the development of society and also with the frequently altering needs of people with intellectual disability as receivers of the social service. For this reason we designed the presented research to reflect our goal to reappraise the scope of professional competences and define the required professional functions of social workers working with people with intellectual disability.

This monograph is dedicated not only to professionals working with this group of people but also aims at answering basic questions to practical issues that families with a intellectualy disabled member are coming into contact with.

Evolučná etika – vybrané problémy a výzvy

Ľubov Vladyková

The present monograph titled Evolutionary Ethics: Selected Issues and Challenges discusses a range of problems, theoretical concepts, and beliefs from the perspective of evolutionary ethics. The term evolution has become one of the central terms in contemporary science and philosophy.

In social sciences in general, and in socio-biology and evolutionary psychology in particular, evolution has had great impact on our understanding of the genesis of culture. Evolutionary theories play a similar role within the theory of consciousness and of the mind (evolutionary epistemology). The interrelation between our evolutionary past and our sense of good and evil is also a subject of heightened interest in ethics; it has in fact become one of its challenges. The concept of evolution challenges the way we create thought patterns through which we understand, or hope to understand, ourselves and the world around us.

This monograph represents a general summary of selected issues in evolutionary ethics, touching upon various aspects of current research into evolutionary ethics and the related domains of evolution, science, ethics, and morals. Evolutionary ethics has become a project which presupposes that in order to understand the essence and basis of morals one must turn to the process of evolution of thought, and to the theories put forth by evolutionists, specifically evolutionary biologists.

The structure of this monograph, as well as its potential usefulness for research and education clearly show that the analysis of the problems discussed here has significant implications for domains far removed from the purely theoretical parts of moral philosophy or biology. The advantage of such discourse is that it enables the implementation of evolutionary ethics in social and ethical issues of public interest (for example Sex Literacy, Sex Education), and this should be recognised and welcome.

Vnútorné lekárstvo je medicínsky odbor, ktorý využíva poznatky z predklinických disciplín – fyziológie, patológie, biochémie, farmakológie – v diagnostike, liečbe a v prevencii jednotlivých ochorení. Ako integrujúci odbor v rámci klinickej medicíny má dominantné postavenie v príprave a v praktickom výkone aj nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied (v urgentnej zdravotnej starostlivosti, rádiologickej technike, ošetrovateľstve, vo fyzioterapii, v pôrodnej asistencii a v iných). Vo vnútornom lekárstve sa postupne formovali jednotlivé pododbory: kardiológia, angiológia, pneumológia, gastroenterológia, nefrológia, hematológia, endokrinológia, reumatológia, imunológia, diabetológia, infektológia, onkológia. Ich postupnou štrukturalizáciou vznikli špecializované pracoviská, a to jednotky intenzívnej starostlivosti zamerané na metabolické stavy, cievne príhody, kritické stavy v hematológii, v onkológii a koronárne jednotky. Zo všeobecných vnútorných oddelení sa vyčlenili napríklad geriatrické oddelenia. Publikácia „Klinická propedeutika, vnútorné lekárstvo a špecifiká ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti vo vnútornom lekárstve“ je určená pre študentov nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied. Záujem o túto publikáciu bol veľký, preto sme pripravili 2., doplnené vydanie. Potvrdilo sa, že konečný efekt poskytovanej zdravotnej starostlivosti vždy vychádza z tímovej spolupráce, čo potvrdzuje aj záujem o túto publikáciu. Základné poznatky z odboru vnútorné lekárstvo rozšírené o kapitoly podávajúce prehľad špecifík ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti pri chorobách kardiovaskulárneho, dýchacieho či endokrinného systému, pri chorobách obličiek, gastrointerstinálneho, hematologického a pohybového systému sú veľmi dôležitou súčasťou liečebnej starostlivosti. Edukácia pacienta so zameraním na liečbu, elimináciu bolesti, prevenciu komplikácií, selfmonitoring, výživu, pohybovú aktivitu a rehabilitáciu, úroveň sebestatočnosti a iné činnosti, vhodne dopĺňa komplexný prístup k pacientovi. Cieľom tejto učebnice je oboznámiť študujúcich s aktuálnymi, modernými postupmi pri jednotlivých chorobách, aby pochopili ich význam. Rozsah problematiky samozrejme nedovoľuje poskytnúť vyčerpávajúce poznatky, preto odporúčame dopĺňať si informácie z ďalšej odbornej literatúry. Nové diagnostické a liečebné postupy prinášajú okrem benefitov aj rôzne riziká. Preto treba pacienta o diagnostickom a liečebnom výkone informovať a vyžiadať si jeho písomný informovaný súhlas na uskutočnenie vyšetrovacej metódy a liečby. Výsledkom liečebného postupu má byť zabezpečenie dobrej alebo primeranej kvality života pacienta. Patrí sem nielen pocit fyzického zdravia, ale v globálnom pohľade aj psychická kondícia, spoločenské uplatnenie, rodinné vzťahy a pod., teda holistický pohľad na pacienta. Nemožno zabúdať ani na význam psychoterapie. Tomu napomáha vzájomná súčinnosť medicínskych a ošetrovateľských činností. Autori veria, že aktualizovaná publikácia pomôže študentom ošetrovateľstva získať potrebné vedomosti a že sa k nej budú opätovne radi vracať po radu a aktuálne platné odborné informácie.

The scientific monograph examines the issue of competencies among mayors in municipalities of the Slovak Republic. At its core is interpersonal (social) competence, characterized by a set of competencies (interpersonal skills and abilities) formed by comfort in social (interpersonal) situations that mayors encounter daily in performing their duties.

Social (interpersonal) competence is an essential skill for any manager. A mayor should also act as a manager, operating within a social environment, where the level of mastering interpersonal competencies predicts successful behavior in interpersonal situations. Through their actions in these situations, they influence the internal environment of the municipality, including municipal office employees, members of the municipal council, local residents, and external environments—such as collaborations with other municipalities, higher territorial units, contractual agreements with private organizations, or representatives of the third sector.

The central focus of the scientific monograph is the exploration of interpersonal competencies. A pivotal research question addressed was: What is the level of mastery of interpersonal competencies among mayors in municipalities of the Slovak Republic?

Hematologie je úzce specializovanou oblastí vnitřního lékařství s množstvím přesahů do dalších oblastí medicíny. V posledních letech prodělala hematologie bouřlivý rozvoj. Přibylo zejména poznatků o patogenezi onemocnění, jež v řadě případů vedly k radikálním změnám v léčbě a k výraznému zlepšení prognózy nemocných. Přesto, že znalost cytogenetických změn, mutací a fúzních genů zpřesnila diagnostiku a monitorování léčebné odezvy, stanovení pracovní diagnózy se v hematologii stále opírá o tradiční metody: výsledky krevního obrazu, koagulace nebo morfologický obraz aspirátu kostní dřeně.

Publikace zdůrazňuje právě tyto v běžné praxi dostupná vyšetření a tím ulehčuje studentům a lékařům orientaci. U jednotlivých onemocnění je popsán jejich výskyt, subjektivní potíže, fyzikální nález a výsledky základních vyšetření včetně mikroskopického nálezu. Publikace se liší od jiných monografií začleněním kopií typických výsledků krevních obrazů, koagulačních, biochemických a v některých případech i speciálních vyšetření. Pro třetí vydání byly doplněny kapitoly o metodách průtokové cytometrie, klasické cytogenetice a molekulární biologii, v nichž jsou popsány základní principy vyšetření, indikace, interpretace i limitace jednotlivých metod. Navíc jsou doplněny dvě kapitoly věnované transfuzní diagnostice hemolytických anemií a diagnostice potransfuzních reakcí a jejich vyšetřování.

Nová samostatná stať je věnovaná hematologickým změnám při infekci covid-19. Je revidován celý text druhého vydání, přičemž se autoři zvlášť zaměřili na nové metody diagnostiky, změny v klasifikaci onemocnění podle nejnovější verze doporučení WHO, nově zavedené prognostické skórovací systémy a revidovali příklady výsledků z praxe tak, aby poskytli čtenářům co nejpřesnější obraz možných laboratorních manifestací jednotlivých onemocnění.

Publikaci ocení při studiu nebo v běžné praxi jako manuál nejen studenti medicíny, hematologové nebo internisté, ale také další odborníci a zejména praktičtí lékaři.

Infekce dolních cest dýchacích, plic a pohrudnice

Petr Jakubec a kolektív

Kniha detailně pojednává o infekčních nemocech dolních cest dýchacích od trachey po terminální bronchioly, plicního parenchym a oblasti pohrudnice a pohrudniční dutiny. Tato postižení patří k nejčastějším, a to nejen infekčním, chorobám postihujícím lidstvo. Řada z nich se vyznačuje značnou morbiditou a mortalitou. Jejich výskyt je modifikován demografickými změnami, změnami v životním prostředí i rozvojem medicíny, a to v dobrém i zlém. Příkladem, který nám ukazuje, jak nás tyto nemoci mohou stále překvapovat a ohrožovat, je COVID-19 infekce. Ani v budoucnosti nemůžeme vyloučit další, bohužel možná i závažnější respirační infekce.

Kniha přináší komplexní až „holistický“ pohled na tato infekční onemocnění, respektive na takto nemocného člověka. Diagnostika a léčba těchto chorob jsou primárně v rukou pneumologů, ale jak ukazuje i rozsáhlý kolektiv autorů této publikace, je v řadě případů nutná multioborová spolupráce v péči o nemocné. Pozornost je zaměřena nejen na tradiční diagnostický a léčebný koncept, ale důstojné místo je věnováno i rehabilitaci, psychologické podpoře a ošetřovatelské péči v rámci celostního pohledu na nemocného.

Kniha je určena internistům, praktickým lékařům, pneumologům, chirurgům, intenzivistům, infekcionistům a studentům lékařských fakult.

Pavol Jozef Šafárik v kontinuite

E-book

E-book

Marianna Sedláková - Marián Gladiš (eds.)

The content of the book publication Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Continuity consists of contributions from two events organized by the Department of Slovak Studies, Slavic Philologies, and Communication at the Faculty of Arts of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice during its short existence.

The first event was a scientific seminar held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of P. J. Šafárik, titled Pavol Jozef Šafárik – Scientist and Artist, which took place on January 27–28, 2012, in Košice and Kobeliarovo. The second event was an internal scientific seminar on the occasion of the 220th anniversary of Šafárik’s birth, held on December 15, 2015, under the title In the Quiet Home Circle. Symbolically—beginning with death and ending with birth (thus indicating the living continuity of Šafárik’s research legacy)—we aim to continue the study of Pavol Jozef Šafárik’s scientific work and increasingly involve the youngest generation of researchers (represented by doctoral students of the department in the field of literary studies). This is despite the fact that the literature on the life and work of this scholar and poet, who stood at the birth of Slavic studies, is very rich, and most of his works have already been scientifically analyzed. However, it appears that even seemingly outdated views of Šafárik still deserve scientific attention in the new context of humanities and natural sciences, as can be read in the contributions published in this volume.

Through the continuous publication of the Collected Works of Pavol Jozef Šafárik, both mentioned seminars, and the publication of this volume, the Faculty of Arts of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice has continued the activities of the Prešov Faculty of Arts from the time before its separation from the union of faculties of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in 1997. The selection and arrangement of contributions in the volume symbolize the "passing of the baton" in research and publishing activities related to Pavol Jozef Šafárik—a scientific personality of global stature, who in 1959 gave his name to our university.

Michaela Gorná - Tatiana Rapčíková

Etika je jedním z nejfrekventovanějších pojmů v oblasti poskytování zdravotní péče. Základní učební text zdravotnické etiky je nepostradatelný pro všechny skupiny studentů a učitelů lékařských a nelékařských zdravotnických oborů a také pro všechny zdravotnické pracovníky, jejichž práce si v rámci poskytování přednemocniční a nemocniční péče žádá mnohé praktické zodpovědné úvahy při identifikaci a řešení etických konfrontačních problémů a dilemat, se kterými se v rámci své profese setkávají. V současném pluralitním společenství mohou mnohé z nich směřovat k právnímu řešení. Ve světle idey prevence proto kniha nabízí komplexní a systematický teoreticko-praktický výklad z oblasti zdravotnické etiky, včetně monitorace současných etických specifik zdravotní péče.
 
S ambicí přijetí východiska praktického řešení, o které se mohou zdravotníci v nastalých situacích etických problémů a dilemat opřít, učebnice srozumitelně předkládá přehled etických přístupů uplatňovaných ve zdravotnické praxi. V kontextu uvedené aspirace je součástí učebního textu perspektivní didaktický fenomén, kterým je metoda případovosti, která je, vedle zvyšování etické citlivosti a zručnosti při řešení morálních dilemat, významným praktickým a metodickým nástrojem implementace etiky do zdravotnické praxe.
 
V knize jsou prezentovány modelové typy případových studií z prostředí přednemocniční a nemocniční péče, které jsou vhodným tréninkovým nástrojem a didaktickým prostředkem při vzdělávání.

Mária Sováriová Soósová a kol.

The proposed university textbook provides knowledge in the field of nursing in internal medicine. It is intended primarily for students of the nursing program, but also for nurses working in this specialization. The textbook builds on the previous two parts: Nursing Process in Internal Medicine I (Sováriová Soósová, 2006) and Nursing Process in Internal Medicine II (Suchanová, 2007). It is divided into four chapters, focusing on disorders of water and electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium, kidney and urinary tract diseases, endocrine system diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Each chapter is similarly structured, beginning with diagnostic methods commonly used in the respective area. Subsequent subchapters address nursing care for selected diseases of specific bodily systems. Each subchapter consists of a clinical introduction (characteristics of the disease, its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment) and nursing care for the given disease. This includes assessment, formulation of nursing diagnoses, and planning nursing care (setting goals, outcome criteria, and planning possible interventions).

The textbook serves as a model framework and algorithm for managing nursing care using the nursing process method.

Magdaléna Halachová - Denisa Rovenská

The monograph theoretically analyzes the virtual environment and its aspects, offers insight into the identity of the child in the virtual environment, the necessity of social support and the diversity of social relationships in the real world and virtual reality.

Furthermore, it contains the fundamental training program designed to minimize the risks of the virtual reality, because adolescents are often exposed to risks uncontrollably. For that reason it focuses on adolescent and empowering optimal self-image, as well as creating and maintaining real social networks.

The set of experiential-educational activities is conceptually divided into two main areas. The first one is content-focused on the adolescent, his/her psychological capability including opinions, attitudes, emotions, competences, and self-reflection.

The second one focuses on interpersonal real and virtual relationships, the recognition of the advantages and disadvantages of internet communication and face-to-face interaction, and last but not least for more optimal use of the Internet and preference for real social interaction.
