Background: Healthcare professionals are usually employed in civilian inpatient and outpatient settings but can also work in countries experiencing military conflict.
Aims: To explore the lived experiences of healthcare professionals during the operation "Ancient Babylon" in Iraq to understand their feelings and problems encountered.
Methods: Hermeneutic phenomenological study.
Background And Aim: Healthcare providers in the emergency first response units have been exposed to a considerable stress during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This study was designed to identify the effects of listening to music during the work break compared to the routine break (in the absence of listening to music) on the level of state anxiety and on the vital parameters of the nurses on duty at the operations center.
Methods: Randomized, controlled, three-arm, double-blind, single-center clinical study.
Introduction: The internship is fundamental for the training of future professionals during the degree course in Nursing. Therefore, it is useful to investigate stress and difficulties experienced by students during this activity.
Objective: to explore the students' experiences during their internships and identify the possible sources of related stress.
Background And Aim Of The Work: Among people with spinal cord injuries, sleep disorders are considered one of the top well-being priorities. Some studies suggest that listening to music promotes sleep and improves its quality. These studies usually used music standardised at the frequency of 440 Hz.

Objective: To identify differences in vital parameters and perceptions after listening to music at different frequencies, 440 Hz versus 432 Hz.
Background And Aim Of The Work: The management of Artificial Nutrition (NA), especially in the home environment (HAN) requires specific skills in order to ensure the correct therapeutic education, prevention of complications and the provision of appropriate treatment to the person. The aim of this survey was to identify the perceptions of nurses and doctors, as well as comparing to their perceived competence in NA and the gap between their perceived versus actual knowledge and management methods.
Methods: This observational study was conducted in a Tuscan health region of Italy, involving 50 Home Care Services nurses and 50 general practitioners.
Background And Aim Of The Work: Lots of studies describe High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) as an experience well-accepted by the learners. This study has explored doctors and nurses satisfaction levels during HFS sessions, searching the associations with the setting of simulation events (simulation center or on the field simulation). Moreover, we studied the correlation between HFS experience satisfaction levels and the socio-demographic features of the participants.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aim Of The Work: In literature there are some tools to measure the satisfaction level related to high-fidelity simulation experience. This paper reports the construction and validation of a specific unique questionnaire in Italian (SESAF - Satisfaction of High-Fidelity Simulation Experience).
Methods: After having reviewed various tools available in literature, and conducted some focus groups with high-fidelity simulation experts, the authors produced the SESAF tool.
Objective: during the various periods of the history of the nursing profession, many differing representations of nurses have emerged in the collective imagination. The main purpose of this study, based on a qualitative approach, has been to discover the images of the nurse that patients retain in their minds when receiving care.
Methods: 6 sound-recorded focus groups were created, made up of patients and caregivers.
