Summary		Prispevek obravnava konstrukt asertivnosti. Predstavljene so definicije in koncepcije asertivnosti, njene komponente ter merjenje asertivnosti. Povzeti so tudi rezultati raziskav, ki ugotavljajo povezanost z različnimi psihološkimi konstrukti. Posebej je obravnavan pomen asertivnosti z vidika pacienta in z vidika medicinske sestre. Študije v glavnem poudarjajo in potrjujejo potrebo medicinskih sester po učenju asertivnih veščin, saj le-te delujejo kot zaščita pred emocionalno izčrpanostjo, stresom in izgorelostjo, ki je pogosto omenjena posledica dela na delovnem mestu medicinske sestre.
