The relevance of the contribution of psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology and psychology of reasoning and decision making to nursing science: A discursive paper.

Aim: Patients' death or adverse events appear to be associated with poor healthcare decision-making. This might be due to an inability to have an adequate representation of the problem or of the connections among problem-related elements. Changing how a problem is formulated can reduce biases in clinical reasoning.

Moving forward the Italian nursing education into the post-pandemic era: findings from a national qualitative research study.

Background: During the CoronaVIrus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing education has been dramatically transformed and shaped according to the restrictions imposed by national rules. Restoring educational activities as delivered in the pre-pandemic era without making a critical evaluation of the transformations implemented, may sacrifice the extraordinary learning opportunity that this event has offered. The aim of this study was to identify a set of recommendations that can guide the Italian nursing education to move forward in the post-pandemic era.

Background: Delirium is a frequent and serious acute neuropsychiatric syndrome leading to worse prognosis including mortality. Patients with ischaemic and/or haemorrhagic stroke are vulnerable to delirium. However, predisposing and precipitating factors have not been fully discovered to date, leaving this area of practice under-represented in available guidelines.

[Education in rare diseases. Where are we now?].

Rare diseases represent a numerous (more than 30 million patients throughout Europe), diverse (more than 6000 disease ascertained), and complex group of genetic, metabolic, neurologic, congenital and other type of disorders presenting both in pediatric and adult age. Research, education and care are the mainstay of the national rare disease plans of the member states, including Italy. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care, particularly in severe or progressive disorder, are mandatory to treat disorders (when a specific treatment is available) and/or avoid life-threatening complications.

Why do nursing students leave bachelor program? Findings from a qualitative descriptive study.

Background: Over the past few years, the phenomenon of "nursing student attrition" has been unevenly studied. Investigators often focused on independent predictors as age, family obligations, final grade of high school, demanding physical and mental workload and others. Specifically, just a few studies applied qualitative methods to better comprehend the very needs of first year students enrolled in a bachelor's degree in nursing sciences (BSN), to sustain their learning process and define effective strategies to reduce student drop-out.

Aim: To compare the occurrence and the reasons for unfinished care among coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and non-COVID-19 patients as perceived by nurses.

Background: The recent pandemic has imposed tremendous changes in hospitals in all countries.

Introduction: Investigating the occurrence of and the reasons for unfinished care as perceived by nurses working in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 units might help to gain insights and to address future pandemics.

The emotional side of the e-learning among nursing students: The role of the affective correlates on e-learning satisfaction.

Emotions are a core component of the learning process, which impact not only academic performance, but also the way we perceive our training, including the full remote training. The present studyaims to investigate the mediating role played by positive and negative emotions in the relationship between the cognitive and the social presence of the e-learning environment and the satisfaction with e-learning. Based on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework and on a cross-sectional study, our theoretical model was assessed (by using structural equation modelling) in a sample of 353 undergraduate nursing students at an Italian university.

Variation of the Occurrence of Physical Restraint Use in the Long-Term Care: A Scoping Review.

Physical restraints in the long-term care setting are still commonly used in several countries with a prevalence ranging from 6% to 85%. Trying to have a broad and extensive overlook on the physical restraints use in long-term care is important to design interventions to prevent and/or reduce their use. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review was to analyze the range of occurrence of physical restraint in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and psychogeriatric units.

The aim of this study was to assess and map methods, interventions and outcomes investigated over the last decade regarding the effectiveness of chronic care organisational models in primary care settings. We conducted a scoping review including systematic reviews, clinical trials, and observational studies, published from 2010 to 2020, that evaluated the effectiveness of organisational models for chronic conditions in primary care settings, including home care, community, and general practice.

Nurses' Views on the Use of Physical Restraints in Intensive Care: A Qualitative Study.

Despite the worldwide promotion of a "restraint-free" model of care due to the questionable ethical and legal issues and the many adverse physical and psychosocial effects of physical restraints, their use remains relatively high, especially in the intensive care setting. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the experiences of nurses using physical restraints in the intensive care setting. Semi-structured interviews with 20 nurses working in intensive care units for at least three years, were conducted, recorded, and transcribed verbatim.
