TI - A reply to: Proposal for changes in the health care system in light of the nurses’ opinion poll
AB - This text is a commentary and a response to the article entitled Proposal for changes in the health care system in light of the nurses opinion poll (in 2018–2020). The Summary section and the abstract of the article in question instead of presenting “nurses’ opinions [on] proposals for changes in the health care system in Poland”, only contain authors’ opinions on the topic, which have not been substantiated by any evidence. The purpose of this text is to (1) draw attention to this discrepancy between the opinions of the surveyed nurses and the conclusions presented by the authors; (2) indicate in what areas the authors’ conclusions differ from the state-of-the-art on the subject and from the actual conditions of the health system; (3) discuss and develop the most valuable and accurate observations or opinions of the authors themselves. The article in question is an interesting basis for the discussion on the prevalence of knowledge that is not substantiated in the state-of-the-art but still considered obvious and self-evident among professionals and experts in the Polish health sector.
