Background: The term 'Missed Nursing Care' (MNC) refers to any aspect of nursing care that is not delivered, partially delivered, or delayed. MNC has significant negative consequences, including adverse patient outcomes, safety risks, and decreased job satisfaction. While extensively studied in hospitals, MNC in community healthcare settings, remains under-researched, especially in Italy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The phenomenon of academic success of undergraduate nursing students is a global issue in higher education institutions due to the direct effects on the availability of future nurses and care, thus impacting public health. Available quantitative research has highlighted factors influencing academic success, although most of these factors are not effectively manageable with intervention strategies.
Aim: The purpose of the study was to describe the lived experiences and their meanings of Bachelor nursing graduates who successfully completed the program.
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a cardiac clinical syndrome that involves complex pathological aetiologies. It represents a growing public health issue and affects a significant number of people worldwide.
Objectives: To synthesize evidence related to the impact of telemonitoring strategies on mortality and hospital readmissions of heart failure patients.
Computer-based technologies have been widely used in nursing education, although the best educational modality to improve documentation and nursing diagnostic accuracy using electronic health records is still under investigation. It is important to address this gap and seek an effective way to address increased accuracy around nursing diagnoses identification. Nursing diagnoses are judgments that represent a synthesis of data collected by the nurse and used to guide interventions and to achieve desirable patients' outcomes.

This is an important issue since advanced nursing skills are necessary to effectively respond to critically ill patients' care needs. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of a modified teaching model based on multiple exposures to high-fidelity simulations on both the learning outcomes and the perceptions of graduate students enrolled in a critical care nursing course.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: In postgraduate intensive care nursing courses, high-fidelity simulation is useful to prepare students to guarantee safe and quality care of critically ill patients. Surprisingly, this issue has not attracted sufficient attention in the literature, and it is not clear whether the linear application of the traditional high-fidelity simulation method based on prebriefing, the simulation session and debriefing, can serve as empirical reference in postgraduate students' education. The aim of this study was to investigate the lived experiences of postgraduate students receiving multiple exposures to an innovative high-fidelity simulation design based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFData were extracted from observational studies describing undergraduate nursing students' academic outcomes that were included in a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted in 2019 and updated in 2020 [1]. Data were extracted by two researchers independently through a previously tested electronic spreadsheet; any disagreement about data extraction was discussed with a third author. Extracted data were studies' general information, characteristics (i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: to investigate heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, the following one-year follow-up, and any possible connection between rehospitalizations due to HF and patients' characteristics derived from administrative databases.
Design: retrospective longitudinal design.
Setting And Participants: the study was conducted analyzing public hospital records of a district in Abruzzo Region (Central Italy), which counts more than 300,000 inhabitants.
High-fidelity simulation provides nursing students with the opportunity to learn and achieve competence in a safe context. The aim of the study was to assess learning outcomes following multiple exposures to high-fidelity simulation sessions. The sample consisted of 18 graduate students enrolled in a critical care nursing course.
