Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hungarian translation of the PACIC in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes and to reveal the associations between the mean PACIC scores and the number of chronic diseases, or visits to GPs, and specialist. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has also been performed to test the structural validity of the PACIC scale.
Methods: The Hungarian version of PACIC was validated using randomly selected patients with type 2 diabetes (N = 684) from licensed GP practices.
Background: HPV screening/vaccination has been observed lower for ethic minorities. Understanding factors that predict and can improve attendance is therefore key. Hence, the aim was to identify causes, especially concerning the quality of the patient-provider relationship, that predict past HPV screening and vaccination turnout of Roma women in Hungary.

Design: An exploratory research design with subsequent comparison was used, and a cross-sectional mail survey was implemented.
Methods: Measures of intent to leave, to work another year as well as indicators of push and pull factors were identified and adopted from a literature review.
Aims: to estimate the proportion of nursing students in Hungary who intend to graduate from a nursing program and intend to work as a nurse after graduation.
Methods: a cross-sectional, mail survey was implemented. A total of 381, purposively selected, final year students returned the survey instrument developed by the researchers.
Aim: To assess whether problem-based learning (PBL) is more effective over conventional teaching methods by comparing final resuscitation exam results of nursing students who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training either by traditional or by a PBL approach.
Methods: A retrospective and comparative research design was implemented. Data on final CPR exam grades, collected both from PBL and traditionally trained students, were obtained for a total of 1775 students between 2000 and 2007 in three major schools of health sciences in Hungary.
