Introduction: Despite various studies on the impact of incontinence on patients' lives, the existing literature has not investigated the contribution of nursing care during rehabilitation in terms of quality of life. Fewer data, therefore, exist on the characteristics and perceived impact of the therapeutic relationship as part of the rehabilitation program.
Aims: To investigate the characteristics of the nurse-patient therapeutic relationship and its impact throughout the rehabilitation program; to describe the levels of patient burden on everyday activities.
Background: Constipation is a very frequent condition. Pharmacological treatment leads to the onset of complications in the long term.
Aim: To study the effects of abdominal massage and bowel training combined with polyethene glycol compared with laxative alone.
Purpose: To understand the experience of nurses caring for infants and children with life limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Design And Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted, collecting data through deep interviews. Sample included twenty-seven nurses working in paediatric and neonatal intensive care units.
Background: The frequency of alarms from monitors and other electro-medical devices is of great utility but can increase the professional's workload and expose nurses in the intensive care unit to Alarm Fatigue. A recent study suggested that students in training can also experience the problem during their first clinical experiences in intensive care. Unfortunately, no data are available about the Italian panorama.
