Nurses' engagement levels in an Italian public healthcare trust: findings from a cross-sectional study.

Introduction. Assessing nursing engagement and designing strategies to improve engagement according to the specific needs of the staff have been considered essential to avoid losing nurses, mitigate future shortages and improve patients' outcomes. Objectives.

A randomised controlled trial examining the effectiveness of cartoons as a distraction technique.

Aim: Distress and pain associated with immunisation are significant problems for children, carers and healthcare professionals. This study was designed to determine whether distraction by watching cartoons during immunisation could reduce the distress and pain perceived by the children.

Methods: A sample of 35 six year olds was randomly assigned to one of two groups: the first was distracted by standard techniques during immunisation, the second by watching cartoons.

Unexpected deaths in medical wards during night shifts: a narrative analysis of nursing experiences.

Aims And Objectives: To explore nurses' narratives of unexpected patient deaths during nightshifts.

Background: Despite the importance of patient care and safety during the night, little attention has been paid to this issue in scientific literature. Very few studies have investigated the outcome of night-time nursing care in patients, and there is a distinct paucity of knowledge regarding the experiences of nurses who discover a patient who has died unexpectedly during a night shift.

Strain and health implications of nurses' shift work.

Objectives: The study investigated whether nurses' different working schedules are associated with different levels of job-related strain, health symptoms and behavior. No reports have been accessible in the relevant literature on the possible association between shift work and job-related strain in nurses.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a large university hospital in North-East Italy, involving 806 nurses working in selected departments.
