[Current questions of nursing care II].
Besides looking over and getting acquainted with the international problems of nursing it's necessary trying to establish the bearings of the situation in Hungary as well. Nursing is a major economical and humanitarian element which influences the people's mood, therefore its social aspects are more important then the professional questions. The central person of nursing is the nurse, whose selection, qualification and education is the privotal question of the whole activity. The expectable professional-social changes need humanly suitable practical people--who rest on firm foundations and who can hold on also in the fields of prevention, curing and rehabilitation. It's necessary to ensure the postgradual teaching, but only in the required number and degree; to solve the problems of higher grades education of nurse-teaching, the claim to the professional qualifications, which can result in the improvement of nurses' perspectives. If the appropriate professional preparedness is guaranteed the independent sphere of authority and responsibility have to be ensured for the nurses in the experiental organizing and researching work. Rising of the level of nursing has a favourable effect on medical work and an entirety of medical attendance. Doctors have decisive influences on the whole process; their interests in the problems and their activities in the solutions can be determinant.
