The survey of police integrity was conducted on the representative sample of 550 Slovenian police officers. The measurement was developed by Kutnjak Ivković and Klockarson the basis of 14 hypothetical case scenarios which describe different forms of police misconduct (i.e. conflict of interests, bribery, and theft). The results of this study demonstrate a high level of self-reported police integrity strictly connected to the code of silence into police community. As a result, anti-corruption strategies are most likely to be successful if they are directed at changing perceptions and moral believes about seriousness of corruptive conducts.

The monograph on improving the response of first responders to domestic violence in Europe aims to identify gaps in the cooperation of first-line responders and deliver recommendations, toolkits and collaborative training for European police organizations and medical and social work professionals. The goal is to improve integrate institutional response to domestic violence. Shared training and adequate risk assessment tools will create a positive feedback loop, increasing reporting rates of domestic violence to police, the medical profession, and community and social work practitioners. Izboljšanje odzivanja prvih posredovalcev na težje oblike nasilja v družini v Evropi. Monografija o izboljšanju odzivanja prvih posredovalcev na težje oblike nasilja v družini v Evropi je namenjena odkrivanju vrzeli v sodelovanju prvih posredovalcev v primerih nasilja v družini in podajanju priporočil, orodij in skupnega usposabljanja za policijske organizacije, zdravstveno osebje in socialne delavce v Evropi. Cilj monografije je izboljšati integriran institucionalni odziv na težje oblike nasilja v družini. Skupno usposabljanje in ustrezna orodja za oceno tveganja bodo ustvarili zanko pozitivnih povratnih informacij med posameznimi deležniki, kar bo posredno vplivalo tudi na povečano stopnjo poročanja o nasilju policistom, zdravstvenemu osebju ali zaposlenim v socianem skrbstvu.

Background and Purpose: Quality within a healthcare system does not comprise only actions defined through certificates or required by law, standards and protocols; it is also defined by the well-being of healthcare workers on the one hand and patients on the other. The purpose paper is to analyse the link between the engagement of nurses and factors related to enhancing patient quality and safety. Methods: The research involved 206 nursing employees from Slovenia’s general hospitals. The questionnaire consists of four sections: employee engagement, the measure of self-efficacy, statements referring to various tools and methods that are used in nursing in daily work and that contribute to the quality of work, interpersonal relationships in the workplace between different professional groups within medical treatment, and attitude towards changes. Results: Compared to other professions, nursing employees showed an above-average level of engagement. Younger respondents were more engaged in their work, and their self-efficacy level was higher. The frequency of using tools intended to enhance the quality of nursing correlates statistically typically and positively with self-efficacy, engagement and willingness to accept change. The analysed factors are interdependent. Engagement results from workplace interactions; employees who feel better in their workplace will be more oriented towards the future, be more open to innovation, and use various tools and approaches to enhance the work’s quality. Conclusion: Analysed concepts are closely connected and interdependent. The findings are essential for the successful and efficient management of hospitals and for ensuring patient quality and safety.
