Abbandono universitario : indagine sulle motivazioni che spingono gli studenti a ritirarsi dal Corso di Laurea in Infermieristica
No full textThe Authors made a survey regarding the motivations which make the students leave the nursing degree course (NDC). The statistical data regarding the abandonment of university courses in Italy say that a 19/20% of the students leave the courses. As regards the whole University of Milan, the amount of those students (18,3%) lays under the national average. The authors made a survey about the motivations which lead the students of nursing to the abandonment of their academic path; via the offices of the nursing schools they collected the telephone numbers of the students enroled between 2000 and 2006, then they made a structured telephonic interview. An 87,7% of the interviewed students said that he/she had abandoned during the first year; the motivations are the following, in order of frequency: Too much engagement (30.1%), Other (26%), this item offers several answers, for example pregnancy, emotive problems, personal problems, Change of the academic path (23,3%) Expectations Disappointment (12,4%), Economic problems (8.2%). The survey is qualitative; it wants to be a first-step study to deeply analyze a topic of major interest in the field of nursing courses management
Il primo master per coordinatori infermieristici di unità operativa o dipartimento
No full textQuesto lavoro si propone di condividere l'esperienza dell'Università degli Studi di Milano- Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia- in merito al Master per Coordinatori infermieristici di Unità Operativa e/o di Dipartimento, finanziati con FSE dell'A.A. 2003-2004.
Nello specifico tale articolo vuole fotografare:
- l'aspetto organizzativo: selezione per l'amissione, piano teorico formativo;
- la metodologia utilizzata, consonna all'apprendimento degli adulti;
- la qualità percepita dai discenti
Infermieristica clinica in ortopedia e traumatologia
No full textTesto di Ortopedia e Traumatologia per la Laurea in Infermieristica, in cui si affronta una trattazione completa delle patologie ortopediche e traumatologiche che, incentrata sul paziente piuttosto che sulla patologia, permette di evidenziare chiaramente la funzione dell’assistenza infermieristica e dei principi di riabilitazione. La divisione in capitoli segue, nella prima parte del testo, un’organizzazione secondo i vari distretti corporei, riuscendo così a centrare l’attenzione sul paziente. Nella seconda parte del testo troviamo un’organizzazione più tradizionale per le patologie importanti e per i problemi assistenziali tipici della disciplina, oltre ad un capitolo dedicato alle procedure di uso più frequente. Ogni capitolo della prima parte comprende un paragrafo introduttivo sulle principali patologie del distretto corporeo trattato, per presentare poi le tipologie di pazienti affetti da esse, distinguendo tra patologie traumatiche e non. Si passa poi alle varie fasi dell’assistenza, con riferimento specifico al triage, segni e sintomi, alla diagnostica strumentale, ai trattamenti, incruenti e chirurgici, sempre evidenziando diagnosi infermieristiche e problemi collaborativi. Ogni capitolo è corredato da piani assistenziali standard e da box di approfondimento su argomenti ‘trasversali’ che interessano sia l’ambito ortopedico che quello traumatologico. Numerosi riferimenti incrociati ad altri capitoli, in particolare della parte generale, e ad un glossario, permettono di risolvere rapidamente eventuali dubbi dello studente o a rinfrescare conoscenze di base. Il testo è integrato da un ricco apparato iconografico di tabelle, disegni e fotografie
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Studio di prevalenza delle lesioni da decubito in un ospedale lombardo
No full textA one day prevalence survey was performed in a University Hospital, with the aim of assessing the risk of developing a pressure sore by patients systematically assessed with the Waterlow Scale. Out of the 141 at risk patients, 16 had a pressure sore (11.3%). For six of them the sore was already present at admission so that the in hospital incidence was 7% (10 patients). Most at risk patients (74.4) were still cared on a standard mattress. The advantages and limits of prevalence surveys are discussed at the end of the three articles that present a prevalence survey, an incidence survey and the study of sentinel events
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
