Nurse-Led Interventions for Improving Medication Adherence in Chronic Diseases: A Systematic Review.

: Poor medication adherence results in negative health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Several healthcare professionals provide interventions to improve medication adherence, with the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in people with chronic diseases remaining unclear. : This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions for improving medication adherence in adults with chronic conditions.

Factors Associated with Falls in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Subgroup Analysis from a Telemergency Service.

According to the number of falls, fallers can be single (only one fall) or recurrent (two or more falls), with different risk profiles for loss of independence and frailty. The presence of risk factors in community-dwelling single- and recurrent fallers using a wearable fall-detection device, such as the Personal Emergency Response System (PERS), as part of a telemergency service, is still unknown. This article evaluates how using a PERS, within a telemergency service, helps identify risk profiles and assessment of any differences between non-fallers and fallers in community-dwelling older adults.

[Are falls a nursing sensitive outcome?].

. Are falls a nursing sensitive outcome? Falls have historically been regarded as nursing-sensitive outcomes, i.e.

Experiences of people with spinal cord injuries readmitted for continence-related complications: a qualitative descriptive study.

Study Design: Qualitative descriptive.

Objectives: To describe the experiences of people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) re-admitted to the hospital due to continence-related complications.

Setting: Inpatient service of a large spinal unit in North-West of Italy.

Ten-Year Trend in Emergency Department Visits for Sexually Transmitted Infections among Adolescents: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study in Italy.

Unlabelled: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are frequently underdiagnosed, representing a serious public health concern, especially during adolescence and in more vulnerable communities.

Aim: to describe the last ten years of emergency department (ED) visits for STIs among adolescents.

Methods: a retrospective cross-sectional observation was carried out in the Piedmont region in Italy.

Immune Response of a Heterologous mRNA-1273 Second-Dose Immunization after a First Dose of ChadOx1 against SARS-CoV-2: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Heterologous vaccination regimens could contribute to broadening vaccination coverage. To date, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of a combination of adenoviral COVID-19 vaccines with a second dose of mRNA vaccines. This study aims to evaluate the antibody response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein 25 weeks after vaccination with mRNA-1273 after a first dose of ChAdOx1.

Choosing between Homologous or Heterologous COVID-19 Vaccination Regimens: A Cross-Sectional Study among the General Population in Italy.

A shortage of COVID-19 vaccines and reports of side-effects led several countries to recommend a heterologous regimen for second vaccine doses. This study aimed to describe the reasons behind individuals’ choices of a homologous or a heterologous second vaccination. This cross-sectional study enrolled individuals under 60 who had received a first dose of Vaxzevria and could choose between a homologous or heterologous regimen for their second dose.
