    Abstract Background: Studies investigating simultaneous influence of personal and work-related factors on skin health during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are missing.
    Objectives: To investigate the associations of skin hazards relevant for nursing apprentices with parameters of skin barrier function.
    Methods: A total of 238 nursing apprentices attending the final year of education (median age 19 years) from vocational schools in Zagreb, Croatia, were enrolled in this study. We administered a questionnaire based on the Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire to the nursing apprentices, performed clinical examination of skin on the hands, and evaluated transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum (SC) pH on the dorsum of the hand.
    Results: Around half of nursing apprentices had compromised hand skin barrier function, as indicated by TEWL values >25 g/m
    Conclusions: Measurement of SC pH was shown to be less sensitive to field conditions than TEWL, and should be employed more in the field studies. Strengthening of skin health promotion in healthcare workers and apprentices is needed in pandemic conditions.

    Abstract Background: Apprentice nurses are considered at high risk to developing occupational skin diseases.
    Objectives: This study assessed the frequency and origin of hand eczema, and work-related risk factors in apprentice nurses.
    Methods: The study involved 240 final-year apprentice nurses (females 75%, median age 19 years) from vocational schools in Zagreb, Croatia. The study was performed in 2020/2021 and included a questionnaire and clinical examination by means of the Osnabrück Hand Eczema Severity Index (OHSI). Skin prick test (SPT) with natural rubber latex (NRL) allergen, and patch test with the basic series of allergens, and disinfectants, were performed in 42 apprentice nurses with hand eczema that lasted more than 3 months.
    Results: Clinically observed and self-reported hand eczema were found in 49% and 46% of apprentice nurses, respectively. Those with observed changes were older and reported more days per month spent on practical work than those with healthy skin (P = .001). Median OHSI was 4 (interquartile range 2-6). There were no positive SPTs to latex, and 11 (26%) apprentice nurses had positive patch test reactions to one or more tested allergens, mostly nickel.
    Conclusions: Hand eczema was common in final-year apprentice nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was mostly of irritative origin, associated with the duration of practical training, confirming cumulative effect of hazards on skin barrier.

    Abstract The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the specific design of a poisoning prevention intervention. This controlled before-after study followed Solomon design for educational interventions using two groups (the educational intervention group and the control group). Participants comprised parents of children attending kindergartens under the jurisdiction of the City of Zagreb and in the vicinity of Zagreb. The intervention group (N = 336) underwent an educational intervention during parents' meetings comprising oral presentation by the Croatian Poison Control Centre (CPCC) and distribution of gift packages containing child-proof locks, flyers, and stickers with the CPCC contact number. After the intervention they more frequently started keeping the CPCC's number by their telephone or in the list of important numbers than parents in the control group, and this association remained significant when tested by generalized estimating equations for binary outcomes, after the adjustment for parents' characteristics (age, gender and educational level), and clustered by kindergartens (
