Arh, Lucija (author), Ravljen, Mirjam (mentor), Poljšak, Borut (reviewer)

Uvod: Trajnostni razvoj je Svetovna komisija za okolje in razvoj leta 1987 definirala kot takšen način razvoja, ki zadošča današnjim potrebam, ne da bi pri tem ogrožal možnosti obstoja in delovanja prihodnjih generacij, da zadostijo svojim lastnim potrebam. Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija na okoljskem področju trajnostnega razvoja medicinskim sestram pripisuje ključno vlogo. Namen: V diplomskem delu smo predstavili kako lahko medicinske sestre prispevajo k trajnostnemu razvoju, predvsem na okoljskem področju. Želeli smo opredeliti njihovo vlogo v trajnostnem razvoju, ugotoviti, kje se v zdravstveni negi odlikuje skrb za trajnostni razvoj, ter kdo so ranljivejše skupine prebivalstva, ki jih okoljska tveganja še posebej ogrožajo in jim zato medicinske sestre nudijo posebno pozornost. Metode dela: S pregledom tuje literature v mednarodnih podatkovnih bazah CHINAL, Medline in Academic Search Complete smo iskali literaturo, ki obravnava vlogo medicinske sestre v trajnostnem razvoju ter tematiko okoljskega zdravja, podnebnih sprememb in zdravstvene nege. Drugo literaturo smo zbirali preko spletnega portala NurSus. Časovni okvir iskanja smo postavili med letoma 2013 in 2020, pri čemer smo izmed skupno 2454 zadetkov uporabili 25 enot literature. Rezultati: Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija vidi veliko priložnost medicinskih sester pri doseganju ciljev Agende za trajnostni razvoj do leta 2030. Medicinske sestre imajo pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju in obnavljanju okolja, zagovarjanju pobud, ki zmanjšujejo okolju škodljive prakse, pri spodbujanju zdravja in dobrega počutja ter ozaveščanju prebivalstva o zdravstvenih težavah, ki jih povzroča onesnaževanje okolja. Okoljski standard, ki ga je leta 2010 izdalo Ameriško združenje medicinskih sester, narekuje, da morajo medicinske sestre vključevati načela okoljskega zdravja pri zdravstveni negi na vseh področjih delovanja. Vse medicinske sestre bi morale biti vzor tako znotraj zdravstvenega sektorja kot tudi v širši družbi in domačem okolju. Največ pozornosti pa naj bi medicinske sestre namenile otrokom, starejšim, zdravstveno slabotnim osebam in osebam z nižjim socialnim statusom. Razprava in zaključek: Kot najbolj zaupljiva poklicna skupina so medicinske sestre nepogrešljiv člen pri varovanju okolja. Da se bo v prihodnje skrb za trajnostni razvoj še okrepila, bo potrebno to področje vključiti v izobraževalni program zdravstvene nege. S tem bi povečali ozaveščenost medicinskih sester o pomembnosti trajnostnega razvoja in ustvarili ugodno okolje za vpeljavo trajnostnega razvoja v širšo družbo.

Abstract

Introduction: Sustainable development was defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 as a way of development that satisfies today's needs without compromising the existence and functioning of future generations in order to satisfy their own ultimate needs. The World Health Organization assigns a key role in the environmental field of sustainable development to the nurses. Purpose: In our dissertation we present the nurses' contribution to sustainable development, especially in the environmental field. We wanted to define their role in sustainable development, to find out where the care for sustainable development is being distinguished and who are the most vulnerable groups of population that are especially threatened by environmental risks and are therefore given special attention by nurses. Methods: By reviewing foreign literature in the international databases CHINAL, Medline and Academic Search Complete, we searched for literature that addresses the role of the nurses in sustainable development and the topics of environmental health, climate changes and nursing. We collected other literature through the NurSus web portal. We set the search time frame between the year 2013 and 2020, using 25 units of literature out of a total of 2454 hits. Results: The World Health Organization sees a great opportunity for nurses in achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Nurses have an important role to play in preserving and restoring the environment, pleading for initiatives that reduce environmentally harmful practices, promoting health and well-being of people, and raising public awareness of the wider global health problems caused by environmental pollution. All nurses should be a model within the healthcare sector as well as in the wider society and home environment. Nurses are expected to pay the most attention to the protection of health and the environment for children, the elderly, people with disabilities and people with lower social status. Discussion and conclusion: As the most trusted professional group, nurses are an indispensable link in environmental protection. In order to further strengthen the concern for sustainable development in the future, the topic of sustainable development will need to be included in the nursing education program. This would raise awareness of the importance of sustainable development and create a favourable environment for the introduction of sustainable development in society at large.
