Relationship between tutor support, caring self-efficacy and intention to leave of nursing students: the roles of self-compassion as mediator and moderator.

Objectives: Analyze the mediating e moderating roles of self-compassion in the relationship between tutor support and both students' caring efficacy and intention to leave.

Methods: A cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire was conducted.

Results: Self-compassion mediates the relationship between tutor support and students' caring efficacy.

The social and professional image of the nurse: results of a survey during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Although nursing today is an intellectual profession to all intents and purposes, thesocial and professional image gap has not yet been bridged. Also, in the rest of the world, the social image of the nurse suffers from some stereotypes, not only perpetuated by a wrong knowledge on the part of the population but also fostered by the mass media (commentary, cinema, television series).

Objective: To investigate the perception of students at the University of Piemonte Orientale about the nursing profession.

Use of the Fluid Challenge in Critically Ill Adult Patients: A Systematic Review.

The fluid challenge (FC) aims at identifying patients in whom fluid administration improves hemodynamics. Although the FC has been extensively studied, the implementation and definition of improvement are not standardized. This systematic review of studies published between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 2014 characterizes these key components of the FC for critically ill adult patients, as described in the medical literature in the last 20 years.

Patient-ventilator asynchrony affects pulse pressure variation prediction of fluid responsiveness.

Purpose: During partial ventilatory support, pulse pressure variation (PPV) fails to adequately predict fluid responsiveness. This prospective study aims to investigate whether patient-ventilator asynchrony affects PPV prediction of fluid responsiveness during pressure support ventilation (PSV).

Materials And Methods: This is an observational physiological study evaluating the response to a 500-mL fluid challenge in 54 patients receiving PSV, 27 without (Synch) and 27 with asynchronies (Asynch), as assessed by visual inspection of ventilator waveforms by 2 skilled blinded physicians.
