Students Sanja Kavaš and Dragica Bogatin successfully crowned their graduate studies in nursing with their final assignment. The first researched the importance of intergenerational cooperation in the home environment, during the second examined knowledge of palliative care in the Pomurje Region.
"Good relations between family members in coexistence with different generations are significant for harmony in the home environment. The survey results in the Prekmurje area showed that most respondents live with their children, grandchildren, and partners, where they are satisfied with communication and relationships in the family. Together with their families, they do various activities and have many hobbies that help them maintain their mental balance," explains graduate Sanja Kavaš.
Dragica Bogatin delved into the field of palliative care, dying, palliative care, and her involvement in the living space of the Pomurje population. "I found that the foundations of recognizing palliative care and the institutions dealing with it in Pomurje are on shaky ground. Palliative medicine is still taboo, slowly creeping out from the background. A professional approach and expertise are important, which would provide much-needed palliative care and fill the gap in progress," the graduate explains.
Diploma theses were written under the supervision of Professor Edvard Jakšič, head of the Nursing study program. "I am proud of the excellent work done by the students. I wish both of them a brave and determined step into the world of new knowledge and discoveries of life!"
