Background And Aim: Patients who present to an Emergency Department (ED) and leave without being seen by a physician represent a safety concern because they may become severely ill and experience adverse events as a result of lacking or delayed ED treatment. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, the increasing number of patients accessing care through the ED in Italy and throughout the world has had implications for health policies.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study that included all ED visits from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2018 in the Perugia University Hospital has been carried out.
Objective: To assess and compare fetal cardiac parameters of fetuses listening to music before and during nonstress test, only during the test or never.
Study Design: Thirty healthy mother-fetus dyads were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three groups: group A in which fetuses were submitted to (33rd + 0 to 36th + 3 week) and during 4 nonstress tests, group B in which fetuses were submitted to during 4 nonstress tests, and group C receiving 4 nonstress tests without any listening. We assessed mean fetal heart rate, fetal heart rate accelerations, fetal heart rate decelerations, fetal movements and uterine contractility.
Aim: To analyse the dimensions and characteristics of violence towards Emergency nurses in a national context (Italy).
Background: Nurses are the most exposed to workplace violence, especially in Emergency Department contexts.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all Italian regions.

Many studies highlight the need for methods to ensure the safety of staff and propose interventions to address the problem.
Aim: The aim of this review was to propose a narrative of the current approaches to reduce workplace violence in the ED, with a particular focus on evaluating the effectiveness of emergency response programs.
Aim: This qualitative study aims to investigate the feelings experienced by nurses following episodes of violence in the workplace.
Background: Numerous studies show that healthcare professionals are increasingly finding themselves victims of violence; of all professionals, nurses in the Emergency Department and especially those performing triage are one of the staff categories which most frequently experience these episodes during their work.
