PRESIDENT’S WELCOME MESSAGE

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have every reason to believe that the “6th Pan-Hellenic and 5th European Scientific

and Professional Nursing Conference” which will take place in the island of Lefkada

from 23 to 26 May at the Ionian Blue Hotel, will provide a new opportunity for a

useful and fruitful scientific meeting which will fulfill our expectations.

The main objective of this conference is to help our participants to form a

comprehensive perspective of all the topics that will be presented, since in the context

of our profession we have to deal with constant challenges. Thus, we invite all of our

members to participate actively in the Conference, in order to highlight the

exceptional educational, research, clinical and social aspect of the work that has been

produced and offered to the Greek people. We owe it to those who have been selflessly

struggling for our Association to fulfill its great mission.

Above all, we are expected to form nurses with high self-esteem and participatory

culture, in order to protect and promote our profession.

The fact that our previous conferences were highly successful is a challenge, thus we

encourage our colleagues to submit their papers on time, in order to carry out an

equally successful conference.

Consequently, we expect that our 6th Conference will be successful as it will highlight

important aspects of interest, as well as for its contribution to the solution of problems

that concern the nursing community as a whole.

Nursing students are also encouraged to attend the conference, since obtaining knowledge

is not enough; active participation in creating new knowledge is essential. During the

conference, many lectures, round tables, workshops, clinical education seminars and

short presentations of poster contributions will take place.

Participants will be credited with 23 Units of Continuing Nursing Education.

Also, the best papers will be given an award.

Page 6: 6th Pan-Hellenic Conference

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME MESSAGE

We would like to congratulate the keynote speakers who willfully share their knowledge

with us. We give our warmest ‘thank you’ to the members of the scientific, honorary,

international, and local conference committees. An important point is the overwhelming

interest of our colleagues to participate in this conference.

We invite you to walk together towards substantial and multilateral nursing education

through this scientific and social event, which will emphasize once again the fact that

nurses, despite of the current adverse circumstances, want and can do the best.

Except from the scientific part, the Island of Poets, Lefkada, will provide all participants

with many opportunities for various cultural and recreational activities.

We are confident of your attendance and active participation, and we expect to wel-

come you in Lefkada island for the top event of our Board.

Dimitrios Skoutelis,

President of theHellenic Regulatory Body of Nurses

Introduction: The institution of Armed Forces has a national, social and historic characterfor Greek Population. Many people are engaged to as cadres, civilian staff or enlisted men whofulfil their military service, which is compulsory for all male Greek citizens. The contributionof the Greek Armed Forces to the Health Status of the population is very important, especiallyfor the lower socio-economic classes, complementing the state’s efforts in the health sector.Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate lifestyle factors associated with health statusand healthy behaviors in male conscripts of the Hellenic Navy. Example and Methodology:A representative sample of 1350 healthy male conscripts of the Hellenic Navy was conductedin two training centres from February through August 2007. Data was collected by means ofself-administered questionnaires. The response rate was 83.8%. Demographic characteristics,smoking habits, alcohol consumption, physical activity and adherence to the Mediterraneandiet were associated to the compliance to health related lifestyle factors. Statistical analysiswas processed by means of the Statistical Package of Social Sciences, SPSS 13.0.Results:Male recruits had a mean age of 24.6 years (SD=3.1 years). 54, 95% of the participantswere smokers and 21, 1% of them stated that because of smoking they couldn’t participate incertain activities which demanded physical effort. 47, 7% admitted that during military servicethey were smoking more comparing with their life before. 70, 7% mentioned that they con-sumed more than 5 drinks in one day, less than 2 times in a month, while 82,2% admittedthat they had consumed more than 5 drinks and after that they had driven a vehicle at leastonce during last month. 46, 1% had a physical activity daily. 32, 7% were at risk for overweight,while 7,1% of them were obese. 65,0% underestimated their weight status. Recruits with highereducational level, non smokers and non alcohol consumers reported healthy nutritional habitsand better oral health status. Conclusions: Demographic characteristics, socio-economic background, educational level andlife-style factors were interrelated and co-related with health status and healthy behaviors.Therefore all these dimensions should be considered as potential targets for future health pro-motion strategies and interventions in the Hellenic Armed Forces.

LEFKADA

The island & the town... A short story

The island owes its name to the white cliffs of its southernmost cape, as the word“Lefkada” originates from “Lefkos” (Greek word for “white”).Reaching the island by road, you will see the castle of Aghia Mavra, built in 1300 ADby the Venetians. Back then, the castle actually constituted the town of Lefkada, beforebeing relocated to its current position.

Lefkada, a mountainous island with many green, steep cliffs and beaches, is the onlyGreek island that is connected with the mainland by a pontoon bridge. The island has a rich cultural life whereas several distinguished Greek scholars(Svoronos), writers and poets (Valaoritis, Sikelianos) as well as important artists(Baltsa, Karoussos) are associated with it.

The heart of the main social and financial life of the town is located at the centralstreet, called “Derpeld and I. Mela str.”. There, you will find the main shopping districtand the central square of Aghios Spiridonas (named after the nearby church) whichis the meeting point for both the locals and the visitors.

Then, you can wander around at the narrow streets, the famous “kantounia” whichwere built this way as a means to confuse the pirates. Another interesting sight is thetraditional houses of Lefkada, built so close next to each other. Do note their specialarchitecture: their basement made of stone supports the main house wooden structurewhereas different coloured zinc details adorn their facades.

You will also have the chance to visit different churches with an intricate architectureand remarkable religious iconography, as well as the libraries and the cultural museumsof the town.
