Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how transgender people feel and what they experience when they’re in the hospital.
- Researchers looked through 22 different studies to find common themes, like how transgender people see themselves, issues with being misgendered, and a lack of training for hospital staff.
- The conclusion is that many transgender patients have bad experiences, and it’s important for healthcare workers to get better training to provide proper care and support for them.
Aim: To report a reflection on the role, challenges and opportunities for nurses with advanced education in research outside the academic field.
Design: A discursive paper.
Data Sources: We reported the case of an Italian paediatric research hospital where PhD-prepared nurses started to apply their knowledge and competencies in different fields, both in clinical and organizational settings.
Purpose: To examine informal carers' experiences during their child's hospitalization and evaluate the associations with care received and care context.
Design And Methods: What is described in this article is only a part of the larger study, RN4CAST@IT-Ped, a multicenter cross-sectional study, with multi-level data collection through convenience sampling, the Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey was used to collect data from informal carers of pediatric patients, applying the "top box" approach.
Results: Nine hospitals, 1472 nurses, and 635 children's parents were involved.
Background: During their clinical practice, nursing students learn to manage patient safety through their experiences, emotions, and interpersonal relationships.
Objectives: To explore contextual and mechanistic factors that facilitate a sense of emotional safety for learning in nursing students, particularly regarding patient safety events experienced during their placements.
Design: A descriptive qualitative study using narratives and thematic analysis.
Introduction: Despite the growing importance of nursing fundamentals of care, nurses often overlook these aspects of care. In this study, we explored why this happens precisely where nursing education is initially provided. In fact, little is known about how undergraduate nursing students perceive the teaching of fundamentals of care and how they value them.

Methods: The data of the present study were extracted from our RN4CAST@IT-Ped database, a cross-sectional observational study, which included 13 hospitals belonging to the Italian Association of Paediatric Hospitals. Through convenience sampling, nurses and pediatric nurses providing direct care in routine pediatric wards were enrolled in the study.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is heavily hitting healthcare systems around the world, and nurses are battling in the front line. Previous studies have reported nurses' responses to catastrophic situations, but also interviews released by Italian nurses to the main mass media channels could bear important messages for policy makers and stakeholders. This study describes Italian front-line nurses' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic through television interviews.

Aim: This study aims to explore and describe if and how the pandemic influenced the relationship and care provided to the family in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
Methods: This is a descriptive qualitative study.
Introduction: In the Italian and European literature there are still few studies describing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the organization of nursing care in hospitals, on the actions taken by nursing leaders to contain it, and on the outcomes of these interventions.
Aim: To describe nursing leaders' experiences with reorganizing healthcare pathways, through management data and personal accounts.
Methods: A retrospective quali-quantitative observational study was conducted at the Mauriziano Hospital in Turin, with 484 beds and over 1,700 workers.
Aims And Objectives: To understand the experiences and support needs of informal caregivers of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who return home following an acute exacerbation.
Background: The presence of an informal caregiver is important to provide practical and emotional support after an episode of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, caregiving in such circumstances can be challenging and stressful.
Aim: To explore nursing management issues within COVID-19 narratives of Italian front-line nurses.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected health systems and professionals worldwide. Italian nurses have key messages for nursing leaders following their acute experiences in the pandemic.
Aim: To describe nurses' reported missed nursing care activities among hospitalized adult patients medical and surgical wards and explore gaps in service provision.
Background: In 2015, Italy replicated the RN4CAST study, which heralded the exposition of missed care as an international phenomenon. In Italy, nurse-patient workload is high, with high levels of burnout and dissatisfaction reported, all factors associated with missed care.
Aim: To develop an instrument to investigate knowledge and predictive factors of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) in nursing students during clinical placements.
Design: Instrument development and cross-sectional study for psychometric testing.
Methods: A self-administered instrument including demographic data, injury epidemiology and predictive factors of NSIs was developed between October 2018-January 2019.
Aims And Objectives: To conduct a systematic review and meta-synthesis of findings from qualitative research about sexuality and intimate relationship among patients with dermatological diseases.
Background: Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in clinical research investigating aspects related to sex and sexuality in patients living with dermatological diseases. In fact, studies recognise a negative impact on various aspects of intimacy, such as sexual function, self-esteem and romantic relationships.
Aim: To explore Italian paediatric nurses' reported burnout and its relationship to their perceptions of safety and adverse events.
Design: A cross-sectional study using the RN4CAST@IT-Ped database with a web-based survey design.
Methods: The RN4CAST@IT-Ped questionnaire was used to collect data in 2017.
Aims And Objectives: To synthesise and review literature related to instruments that measure psychosocial aspects of fundamental care in acute hospital care settings.
Background: Psychosocial aspects of care often receive less priority in terms of care provision in acute care environments. At the same time, if these elements are overlooked, there may be consequences.
International mobility for nursing students is still a relatively new phenomenon. While educators and students are both excited by the opportunity that mobility presents, there are often many challenges inherent within third level organisations and practice organisations. These obstacles not only serve to make international mobility arrangements complex to manage but also mean that these opportunities are only available to very small numbers of students.

Our research question was: How have the Italian doctoral schools of nursing contributed to the development of nursing research in the last ten years?
Methods: A national descriptive observational was conducted to collect all the publications made by the four nursing doctoral schools in Florence, Genoa, L'Aquila, and Rome between 2006 and 2015. For the enrolment of the participants, an online survey was sent to the e-mail address of each student provided by the reference University.
Aim: To explore influences on nurses' missed care decision-making processes in acute hospital paediatric care.
Background: Many contemporary studies describe the phenomenon of missed care. It is clear that environment and organizational culture influence the nursing activities; however, what influences their decision-making processes has not been investigated.
Aims And Objectives: To review and synthesise research studies on surgical and medical inpatients' perceptions on unmet nursing care needs.
Background: Missed nursing care is a growing phenomenon that has been shown to adversely affect care outcomes-mainly in adult medical and surgical care settings. However, to date the aggregated and synthesised evidence of missed care comes from research that measures perceptions on missed care in surgical and medical settings from nurses, but not from the patients.
Aim: To analyse through an exploratory descriptive survey how former and current doctoral students' publications have contributed to the development of evidence between the establishment of the doctoral schools of nursing in 2006-2015.
Design: An exploratory descriptive survey.
Methods: We analysed the papers published in peer-reviewed journals by the four Italian PhD Schools of Nursing between 2006-2015.
Aims And Objectives: To explore the experience of patients affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease following hospitalisation due to an acute exacerbation event.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a progressively debilitating disease, often with very burdensome symptoms such as acute and chronic breathlessness and fatigue. Acute exacerbation often creates a life-threatening event.
