Indagine conoscitiva sul concetto di competenza avanzata nella professione infermieristica

Introduzione: L’evoluzione della formazione infermieristica ha di fatto portato ad un accrescimento di conoscenze e competenze che hanno reso gli infermieri dei veri e propri professionisti. Con l’introduzione del comma 566 della Legge di stabilità del 2015 e della Legge 24 del 2017, è stata posta una maggiore attenzione sull’utilizzo delle Linee Guida e su come esse, insieme alla buona pratica, possano ridurre il ricorso ad una medicina difensiva. Obiettivo: Indagine sulle conoscenze del personale infermieristico riguardanti i concetti di competenza avanzata e responsabilità professionale, in relazione al loro agire quotidiano, e ai nuovi assetti normativi. Materiali e Metodi: Uno studio cross-sectional è stato eseguito su un campione di 60 soggetti fra Giugno 2019 e Settembre 2019, presso l’ospedale Policlinico Umberto I di Roma. È stata condotta una survey, rivolta agli infermieri operanti nel setting dell’area critica e chirurgica, mediante l’utilizzo di un questionario non validato, in forma anonima in cui vengono analizzati e saggiati: a) dati anagrafici; b) analisi dell’attività lavorativa; c) analisi delle conoscenze. Risultati: Sono stati convalidati per lo studio 60 questionari correttamente compilati, con un tasso di risposta del 63.8%. Il 68.3% degli infermieri era di sesso femminile ed il 31.6% di sesso maschile. L’età media del campione è di 35.2 anni. Il 16.7% degli infermieri utilizza sempre le linee guida aziendali/ministeriali nella pratica clinica; il 36.7% le usa raramente; il 41.7% le utilizza abbastanza, mentre il 5% non le utilizza mai. In relazione alla conoscenza della normativa vigente, emerge che il 48.3% non conosce il comma 566 della Legge di stabilità, con il 48.3% del campione che asserisce di conoscere la Legge Gelli. Conclusione: Dai risultati ottenuti emerge la necessità del personale infermieristico di una maggiore formazione circa gli aspetti legali della professione mediante una formazione dedicata. Inoltre emerge l’importanza dell’aggiornamento professionale come mezzo per non incorrere in atti di medicina difensiva.Introduction: The evolution of nursing education has in fact led to an increase in knowledge and skills that have made nurses real professionals. With the introduction of paragraph 566 of the 2015 Stability Law and Law 24 of 2017, greater attention has been paid to the use of the Guidelines and how they, together with good practice, can reduce the use of defensive medicine. Aim: The aim of this is to investigate the knowledge of nursing staff regarding the concepts of advanced competence and professional responsibility in relation to their daily actions, considering the new law framework. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of 60 responders between June 2019 and September 2019, at the Policlinico Umberto I hospital in Rome.A survey was conducted, aimed at nurses operating in the critical and surgical area setting, through the use of an anonymous, non-validated questionnaire in whic the following are analyzed and tested: a) personal data; b) analysis of work activity; c) knowledge analysis. Results: 60 correctly completed questionnaires with a response rate of 63.8% were validated for the study. 68.3% of the nurses were female and 31.6% male. The average age of the sample is 35.2 years. 16.7% of nurses always use company / ministerial guidelines in clinical practice; 36.7% rarely use them; 41.7% use them enough, while 5% never use them. In relation to the knowledge of current legislation, it emerges that 48.3% do not know paragraph 566 of the Stability Law, with 48.3% of the sample claiming to know the Gelli Law. Conclusion: The results obtained show that the nursing staff need more training on the legal aspects of the profession through dedicated training. Furthermore, the importance of professional updating emerges as a means of not incurring defensive medicine

Adherence and Reactogenicity to Vaccines against SARS-COV-2 in 285 Patients with Neuropathy: A Multicentric Study

Background: The safety of the new vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have already been shown, although data on patients with polyneuropathy are still lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adherence to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, as well as the reactogenicity to those vaccines in patients affected by neuropathy. Methods: A multicentric and web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients affected by neuropathy from part of South Italy. Results: Out of 285 responders, n = 268 were included in the final analysis and n = 258 of them (96.3%) were fully vaccinated. Adherence to vaccination was higher in patients with hereditary neuropathies compared to others, while it was lower in patients with anti-MAG neuropathy (all p < 0.05). The overall prevalence of adverse events (AEs) was 61.2% and its occurrence was not associated with neuropathy type. Being female and of younger age were factors associated with higher risk of AEs, while having an inflammatory neuropathy and steroids assumption were associated with a lower risk (all p < 0.05). Younger age, having had an AE, and COVID-19 before vaccination were factors associated with symptoms worsening after vaccination (all p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: Patients with neuropathy showed a high level of adherence to COVID-19 vaccination. Safety of vaccines in patients with neuropathies was comparable to the general population and it was more favorable in those with inflammatory neuropathy

Antimicrobial resistance among migrants in Europe: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are rising globally and there is concern that increased migration is contributing to the burden of antibiotic resistance in Europe. However, the effect of migration on the burden of AMR in Europe has not yet been comprehensively examined. Therefore, we did a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and synthesise data for AMR carriage or infection in migrants to Europe to examine differences in patterns of AMR across migrant groups and in different settings. METHODS: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus with no language restrictions from Jan 1, 2000, to Jan 18, 2017, for primary data from observational studies reporting antibacterial resistance in common bacterial pathogens among migrants to 21 European Union-15 and European Economic Area countries. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to report data on carriage or infection with laboratory-confirmed antibiotic-resistant organisms in migrant populations. We extracted data from eligible studies and assessed quality using piloted, standardised forms. We did not examine drug resistance in tuberculosis and excluded articles solely reporting on this parameter. We also excluded articles in which migrant status was determined by ethnicity, country of birth of participants' parents, or was not defined, and articles in which data were not disaggregated by migrant status. Outcomes were carriage of or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled prevalence of each outcome. The study protocol is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42016043681. FINDINGS: We identified 2274 articles, of which 23 observational studies reporting on antibiotic resistance in 2319 migrants were included. The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or AMR infection in migrants was 25·4% (95% CI 19·1-31·8; I2 =98%), including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (7·8%, 4·8-10·7; I2 =92%) and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (27·2%, 17·6-36·8; I2 =94%). The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or infection was higher in refugees and asylum seekers (33·0%, 18·3-47·6; I2 =98%) than in other migrant groups (6·6%, 1·8-11·3; I2 =92%). The pooled prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms was slightly higher in high-migrant community settings (33·1%, 11·1-55·1; I2 =96%) than in migrants in hospitals (24·3%, 16·1-32·6; I2 =98%). We did not find evidence of high rates of transmission of AMR from migrant to host populations. INTERPRETATION: Migrants are exposed to conditions favouring the emergence of drug resistance during transit and in host countries in Europe. Increased antibiotic resistance among refugees and asylum seekers and in high-migrant community settings (such as refugee camps and detention facilities) highlights the need for improved living conditions, access to health care, and initiatives to facilitate detection of and appropriate high-quality treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections during transit and in host countries. Protocols for the prevention and control of infection and for antibiotic surveillance need to be integrated in all aspects of health care, which should be accessible for all migrant groups, and should target determinants of AMR before, during, and after migration.

Disease-specific and general health-related quality of life in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients: The Pros-IT CNR study

Background: The National Research Council (CNR) prostate cancer monitoring project in Italy (Pros-IT CNR) is an observational, prospective, ongoing, multicentre study aiming to monitor a sample of Italian males diagnosed as new cases of prostate cancer. The present study aims to present data on the quality of life at time prostate cancer is diagnosed. Methods: One thousand seven hundred five patients were enrolled. Quality of life is evaluated at the time cancer was diagnosed and at subsequent assessments via the Italian version of the University of California Los Angeles-Prostate Cancer Index (UCLA-PCI) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Results: At diagnosis, lower scores on the physical component of the SF-12 were associated to older ages, obesity and the presence of 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities. Lower scores on the mental component were associated to younger ages, the presence of 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities and a T-score higher than one. Urinary and bowel functions according to UCLA-PCI were generally good. Almost 5% of the sample reported using at least one safety pad daily to control urinary loss; less than 3% reported moderate/severe problems attributable to bowel functions, and sexual function was a moderate/severe problem for 26.7%. Diabetes, 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities, T2 or T3-T4 categories and a Gleason score of eight or more were significantly associated with lower sexual function scores at diagnosis. Conclusions: Data collected by the Pros-IT CNR study have clarified the baseline status of newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. A comprehensive assessment of quality of life will allow to objectively evaluate outcomes of different profile of care

Surgical site infection after gastrointestinal surgery in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a prospective, international, multicentre cohort study

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global health priority is not fully understood. We quantified the burden of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries in all parts of the world. Methods: This international, prospective, multicentre cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal resection within 2-week time periods at any health-care facility in any country. Countries with participating centres were stratified into high-income, middle-income, and low-income groups according to the UN's Human Development Index (HDI). Data variables from the GlobalSurg 1 study and other studies that have been found to affect the likelihood of SSI were entered into risk adjustment models. The primary outcome measure was the 30-day SSI incidence (defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for superficial and deep incisional SSI). Relationships with explanatory variables were examined using Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02662231. Findings: Between Jan 4, 2016, and July 31, 2016, 13 265 records were submitted for analysis. 12 539 patients from 343 hospitals in 66 countries were included. 7339 (58·5%) patient were from high-HDI countries (193 hospitals in 30 countries), 3918 (31·2%) patients were from middle-HDI countries (82 hospitals in 18 countries), and 1282 (10·2%) patients were from low-HDI countries (68 hospitals in 18 countries). In total, 1538 (12·3%) patients had SSI within 30 days of surgery. The incidence of SSI varied between countries with high (691 [9·4%] of 7339 patients), middle (549 [14·0%] of 3918 patients), and low (298 [23·2%] of 1282) HDI (p < 0·001). The highest SSI incidence in each HDI group was after dirty surgery (102 [17·8%] of 574 patients in high-HDI countries; 74 [31·4%] of 236 patients in middle-HDI countries; 72 [39·8%] of 181 patients in low-HDI countries). Following risk factor adjustment, patients in low-HDI countries were at greatest risk of SSI (adjusted odds ratio 1·60, 95% credible interval 1·05–2·37; p=0·030). 132 (21·6%) of 610 patients with an SSI and a microbiology culture result had an infection that was resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic used. Resistant infections were detected in 49 (16·6%) of 295 patients in high-HDI countries, in 37 (19·8%) of 187 patients in middle-HDI countries, and in 46 (35·9%) of 128 patients in low-HDI countries (p < 0·001). Interpretation: Countries with a low HDI carry a disproportionately greater burden of SSI than countries with a middle or high HDI and might have higher rates of antibiotic resistance. In view of WHO recommendations on SSI prevention that highlight the absence of high-quality interventional research, urgent, pragmatic, randomised trials based in LMICs are needed to assess measures aiming to reduce this preventable complication

Parent Abuse: validation of a new scale for causal attribution by adolescents

This study focuses on Parent Abuse, that is acted violence to parents by their teenage children, including any adolescent’s behaviour that causes physical, psychological, financial damage to parents (Cottrell, 2001). It is important examining causes and growing of this new form of violence in family, looking for meaning of violent action in family relationships and creating tools for studyng the complexity of this phenomenon (Bobic, 2004; Calvete et al., 2013). The aim of this study is validating Adolescent to Parent Abuse Scale (APAS), a Likert 5-points scale that measures adolescents causal attribution toward acted violence to parents. APAS was completed by a sample of 416 adolescents (age range: 13-18 years old). Exploratory factor analysis supported a two factor structure (internal attribution and external attribution) that statistically explain 31% of the total variance.Internal Attribution refers to reasons of violence to adolescents’ transition period and to family communication; violence should have an expressive function (Cronbach α =.68).External Attribution refers to reasons of violence in social models, like family, school and peer group (Cronbach α =.65)

Measuring couple intersubjectivity: an exploratory analysis for the validation of a new scale

Intersubjectivity is intended as the mental space that occurs between two minds, both characterized by positive and negative correspondence (Benjamin, 2004). Couple Intersubjectivity can be defined as a mutual adjustment process between two individuals who share a relationship; it can be considered in a positive dimension as the relational competence to share positive mental and emotional states inside the couple (Chiarolanza, 2015). We aim to create a new measure for couple intersubjectivity asking about partners’ relational competencies. We try to examine through an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) which factors might better define this construct. A 24-item questionnaire was administered to 424 partners of 212 Italian couples. The three factor solution resembled a triadic structure of couple intersubjectivity: self intersubjectivity that includes questions about each partner’s relational feelings and skills (item sample: "I am able to show affection to my partner"); partner intersubjectivity that includes partner perceived relational competencies and feelings (item sample: "My partner can confide in me"); weness referred to the relational skills as a dyad (item sample: "My partner and me share our experiences"). We aim to confirm these three dimensions in order to validate a Couple Intersubjectivity Scale as a way to assess how much the dyad members are able to mentally and emotionally tune about their intersubjective experiences inside the couple relationship. This could provide a deeper comprehension to romantic relationship’s aspects than the one provided, for example, by the empathic processes

Infections and Smartphone Use in Nursing Practice. A Systematic Review

Aim: Nurses use their smartphones during the work shift. The objective of this review is to investigate the presence of bacteria on mobile phones and the procedures to disinfect or decontaminate the smartphone and decrease the infection rate. Method: This systematic review was carried out through a search on the main scientific databases by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The research was conducted by considering articles published in the last ten years. Results: Of 502 initial articles, 489 were excluded and 12 articles were considered relevant. Twelve articles were included in the review. The analysis of the studies showed a high contamination of pathogenic microorganisms on the device's surfaces, most of which appear to be antibiotic resistant. The use of smartphones during clinical practice increases the risk of contracting nosocomial infections. The presence of bacteria on mobile phones and their use favors the cross-transmission of microorganisms. Conclusion: Onset prevention is a primary goal for the entire multidisciplinary team. There are no protocols concerning smartphones disinfection during clinical practice, but their implementation would reduce the incidence by improving nursing care
