Unlabelled: . The use of standardized nursing languages in electronic medical records: an exploratory study on opportunities, limitations, and strategies.
Introduction: Standardized nursing languages (SNLs) have found increasing application in electronic medical records in recent years.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to summarize lessons learned from a multidisciplinary Italian research team that conducted a longitudinal study on COVID-19 patients over three years, focusing on research design and execution during a pandemic.
- A qualitative research approach was used to gather personal narratives from team members about their experiences, which were later analyzed and organized into ten main themes related to the challenges and methods of conducting research in such health crises.
- The findings emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary perspective, including patient input, in ensuring research quality and consistency during pandemics, suggesting potential improvements in education, clinical practices, and policies.
The progressive desensitization of nurses in relation to fundamental needs (FNs) has been documented in anecdotical, scientific, and policy literature with nurses spending limited time at the bedside, thus affecting the quality of care and clinical outcomes. A potential reason that has been recognized is the limited nursing staff available in the units. However, other cultural, social, and psychological factors which have not been investigated to date may have a role in triggering the phenomenon.

Accumulating evidence indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic carries risks to psychological health and represents a collective traumatic experience with consequences at the social, economic, and health levels. The primary aim of this study was to collect ongoing COVID-19 survivors’ pandemic-related experiences as expressed through the use of metaphors; the secondary aim was to explore socio-demographic variables associated with the metaphor orientation as negative, positive or neutral. An observational follow-up survey was conducted and reported according to the STROBE guidelines.
