Professional competences of nurses in the treatment and prevention of arterial hypertensio

Abstract

In the modern healthcare system, the role of nurses is of particular importance, as they ensure the continuity of the medical process, disease prevention and patient support during treatment. In the context of the development of family medicine, a nurse acts not only as a doctor's assistant, but also as an independent specialist who is able to carry out a set of measures for the prevention and control of arterial hypertension. The effectiveness of her activities is determined not only by professional training, but also by the formation of personal qualities that ensure a high level of communication, empathy and motivation for the quality performance of duties. As part of the study, a survey was conducted of 156 nurses who carry out preventive work with patients with arterial hypertension. The results obtained allowed us to determine the level of development of key components of professional and personal competencies. It was found that most nurses are characterized by a high level of sociability, which, however, is combined with an average level of communicative culture and the presence of emotional barriers in communication. Such obstacles include a certain rigidity in interpersonal relationships, difficulties in managing one's own emotions, a tendency to distance oneself from patients. This indicates the need to develop emotional intelligence as an integral component of communicative competence.
