Therefore, institutions have adopted simulations and lCT to help educate their students and other health care professionals; however, the effectiveness and full benefits of these methods in different areas of medical education are yet to be fully determined. A literature review was undertaken by conducting multiple searches of the Pubmed,Science Direct, Google Scholar and Journal of Nursing Education. Keywords that were used are information and communications technology (lCT), nursing, education, innovation, simulation and Croatia. Publications were first selected by considering title, abstract and the full texts were reviewed...Yayın Croatian adolescents’ knowledge on menstrual cycle and hygiene(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) Valicevic, Gloria; Ilic, Boris; Zupanic, MaraINTRODUCTION: In the Republic of Croatia, at the end of the standardized and mandatory primary education that lasts 8 years, students decide in which direction they want to continue their education. There is a significant difference in regard to the amount of hours and classes related to Biology and other life science subjects, between medical secondary schools and nonmedical secondary schools. AIM: The aim of this paper was to compare the knowledge of adolescents about the menstrual cycle and hygiene, as well as to determine if there are differences in the knowledge of students in medical schools and other non-medical schools. METHODOLOGY: 120 female participants took part in the research, with an average age of 17 years. Participants were divided into two groups, with 84 adolescents from medical secondary schools and 36 adolescents from non-medical secondary schools. An anonymous questionnaire was used, that consisted of several parts – sociodemographic data, questions regarding emotions and readiness during the first menstrual cycle, overall knowledge about the menstrual cycle, education on the menstrual cycle. The data were analyzed using statistical methods and content analysis and presented as percentage values. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the school where the research was conducted. RESULTS: The average age of the examinees getting their first menstruation was 12 years. 65% of the participants state that they find it easy to talk to their mother about menstruation. 43% of the participants said that during the menstruation they felt unpleasant. Adolescents that attended medical secondary school more often gave the correct answer to the question about the duration of the menstrual cycle (Chi-square, p <.001). Medical secondary school students also more often gave the correct answer to the question when the ovulation occurs (p <.001). CONCLUSION: Significant differences were found in knowledge between students from medical secondary school and non-medical vocational school. Students of medical secondary school had more knowledge about menstrual cycle and hygiene. Raising the educational level of adolescents, ensuring the availability of reliable information as well as implementing the education on menstrual cycle and hygiene at the early adolescence will significantly impact the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, decrease in fear connected to the menstruation, along with prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Keywords: menstrual cycle, menstrual hygiene, adolescent, knowledge.Yayın The impact of preventive programs on the reduction of mortality of malignant diseases in the republic of croatia(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) Toma, Denis; Ilic, BorisINTRODUCTION: Malignant diseases are one of the leading health problems in the Republic of Croatia. According to the data of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, they take second place in the mortality rate with a share of 27.8%. In order to reduce the mortality and morbidity of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia, three national preventive programs have been designed and adopted. DISCUSSION: In the Republic of Croatia, five public health prevention programs are being implemented. Preventive program for early detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer and colon cancer. Since the onset of the prevention programs, the mortality in regard to breast cancer among women is about 50 patients annually (2%), in comparison to the year of 2000 when the program was not yet adopted, where 38.5% or 843 of the 2,187 patients died. In the period from 1990 – 2012, 11,643 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,894 of them had died. The number of new cases in 1990 was 391, while in 2012 it was 651. Between 1990 and 2012, the number of mortalities from cervical cancer was 4,894. We can observe that in the last decade the number of new discoveries women under this diagnosis is on a steady rise, while mortality stagnates. Colon cancer is the second in appearance and mortality of malignant neoplasms in both genders. This type of malignant disease in Croatia annually affects approximately 3,000 people of both genders, while about 2,000 people die as a result of it, which is a steady trend in recent years. The colon cancer is discovered in 3,229 patients in 2015 and in 2016, 2169 died of this disease, which is a four cause of death in Croatia. According to the data of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, 2,800 new cases with colon cancer occurred in 2000, while more than 1,500 died. By adopting the preventive programme the number of newly diagnosed cases has increased by 529. Mortality was also increased by 669, suggesting that colon cancer, despite the warning of the public, is revealed later in the final phase when it expands in lymphatic vessels, although mortality is growing slower than incidence. CONCLUSION: The number of newly discovered malignant neoplasia has been increased by the implementation of preventive programs, which resulted in an average decrease of 200 mortalities of all neoplasms (C00 to C97 MKB, without C44) due to the early onset of therapeutic procedures. Despite numerous media and public health campaigns, citizens ‘response is still insufficient and additional efforts are needed to increase citizens’ awareness of the importance of participating in prevention and early detection programs.Yayın Neglect and elder abuse in the population of Crotia(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2020) Dropujlja, Antonella; Ilic, BorisIntroduction: Elder abuse is a common sociocultural and health issue that represents an intentional act or failure to act, by a caregiver or another person in a relationship involving an expectation of trust that causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult. Over the past decades, due to the increase in the elderly population as a result of prolonged life expectancy as well as negative birth rate trends in Croatia, this issue has been brought to attention as a significant health concern. Discussion: According to available findings, elder abuse can be differentiated by the type (physical, sexual, emotional/psychological, financial, neglect) and place of its occurrence (home, institution, structural). Predisposing factors, such as age above 80, female gender, lower education, disrupted family relations, financial dependency and an inability for self-care have been shown to be consistently related with increased risk for abuse. According to research that was conducted in Zagreb, on a sample of 1000 people above the age of 65, there are some differences in the incidence of violence based on sociodemographic characteristics of the elderly. The results have shown that lower educational status goes hand in hand with a higher risk of violence, especially with physical, emotional and financial abuse. The elderly population that financially depends on their children or other family is more likely to be physically and emotionally abused by their relatives. Gender and marital status did not prove to be a significant factor. Besides increasing theoretical knowledge and awareness in society, the legislation also has a vital role in prevention. In the Republic of Croatia, the issue of elder abuse is regulated by Art. 4 of the Domestic Violence Protection Act (2003), which carefully defines domestic violence, its forms and legal obligation of both professionals and non-professionals to report it, as well as through several other penal codes. Conclusion: Nurses, especially patronage nurses, that spend a lot of time, and are the ones who can see in which conditions the elderly live in, have a huge and important role in the prevention of elder abuse. It is very important to encourage the elder population into pressing charges if they are abused. Also, bigger and more frequent controls by social workers and health visitors can lead to a decrease in the incidence of abuse.
