The Lithuanian competition, spearheaded by Addere Care and Swedish Care International, has garnered significant attention. This organization was established by queen Silvia, a prominent figure in Swedish healthcare. The event is open to all Lithuanian nurses and nursing students seeking innovative solutions.
Participants are encouraged to submit ideas designed to enhance the well-being of elderly individuals, those living with dementia, and patients receiving care. An independent nursing expert commission meticulously evaluates the submissions. The selection process is overseen by a panel of qualified professionals, ensuring a fair and objective assessment.
The ultimate winner will receive a unique opportunity, including a meeting with queen Silvia herself. Furthermore, the successful candidate will be awarded a prize of 6,000 euros, as detailed in the official press release. The competition’s genesis stems from research into the positive effects of nature on human health.
Gerda Bukauskaitė Žiūkienė, a doctoral candidate in ecology and environmental studies at Vytautas the Great University, and a nursing teacher at Kaunas College, played a key role in initiating this important initiative.
