One of the key strategies for the success of health organizations currently resides in the ability to develop advanced competencies in time management. Individuals who are able to spend their time efficiently are those who do not focus on a single issue within the allotted time but rather spread their time among several tasks. This study aims to investigate the attitudes, beliefs and knowledge towards the time management of nurses (clinicians, first-line and middle-level nurse managers) in their daily work.

- - The study examines the effectiveness and safety of propofol sedation administered by nurses, especially focusing on those without formal anesthesia training, which is currently underregulated despite positive outcomes in low-risk patients.
- - A comprehensive literature review identified 17 relevant studies, revealing that while training and administration methods vary, the outcomes of sedation by trained nurses are comparable to those by certified nurse anesthetists.
- - There is a pressing need for standardized training protocols and international guidelines to ensure safe and efficient nurse-administered sedation practices, given the limited research on training programs to date.
Background: The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the American Society for Gastroin-testinal Endoscopy recommend the identification of quality indicators for endoscopy services, including patient satisfaction. Patients happy with the treatment received will be more willing to participate in screening programs and more adherent to the indications received from the doctor. The aim of this study is to validate the Endoscopy Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire in Italian, in order to have a valid and reliable tool that can allow each patient to fully describe their experience in digestive endoscopy services.
