No full textThe primary objective of this project was
to create a map of healthcare services
aimed at irregular migrants provided by
the local health units (ASL) in Rome, and
to promote its use.
The project was coordinated by the Sapienza
University and the Caritas Diocesana
of Rome.
Our secondary goal was training and
increase the awareness of medical and
social work students on migration medicine
(MM) and Global Health (GH).
The project was conducted from 2012 to
2014 and involved 22 students. The participants
were asked to visit the ASLs and
interview the healthcare workers.
We chose a participatory approach based
on field experience. Students were the
main researchers and through this approach,
they learnt the meaning of right
to health; inequality and the social determinants
of health.
Students used a semi-structured questionnaire
to interview healthcare workers.
They also used a diary in which they
wrote about their experiences.
The subsequent analysis of the collected
data was used to create a map of the
healthcare services available to irregular
migrants in Rome. This map includes
addresses and opening hours of healthcare
services considered useful to facilitate
the access of foreigners to such
services. At the end of 2014, the map
was presented and distributed to the
h e a l t h c a r e w o r k e r s i n v o l v e d .
In the current global scenario, in which a
key role is played by the phenomenon of
migration, social issues are gaining more
and more importance in health- and disease-related
processes (social determinants
of health).
A sociologic analysis of the personal diaries
highlighted the large portion of
health education that is still based on a
biologically-centered medical practice,
characterized by professional individualism
and more geared towards taking care
of diseases rather than the affected people.
The students involved in this study
learned how protecting migrants' health
means, first and foremost, to defend the
inalienable right to health, and to enhance
their own awareness through empowermen
Global health education for medical students in Italy
Full text linkBackground: Global health education (GHE) in Italy has spread since the first decade of 21st century. The presence of global health (GH) courses in Italy was monitored from 2007 to 2013. In 2019, a new survey was proposed to assess the availability of educational opportunities in Italian medical schools. Methods: An online survey was carried out using a questionnaire administered to a network of interested individuals with different roles in the academic world: students, professors, and members of the Italian Network for Global Health Education. The features of courses were analysed through a score. Results: A total of 61 responses were received from affiliates of 33 out of the 44 medical schools in Italy. The national mean of GH courses for each faculty was 1.2, reflecting an increase from 2007. The courses increased nationwide, resulting in a dispersed GHE presence in northern, central and southern Italy. One of the most critical points was related to the nature of “elective” courses, which were not mandatory in the curricula. Enrollees tended to be students genuinely interested in GH issues. Some community and service-learning experiences, referred to as GH gyms, were also detected at national and international levels. Conclusions: GHE has spreading in Italy in line with the vision of the Italian Network for Global Health Education. Although progress has been made to disperse GH courses around the country, more academic commitment is needed to include GH in the mandatory curricula of medical schools and other health faculties

No full textThe situations of crisis and social injustice of the globalized world call the people who deal with education in health to think again about the educational model of medical schools. The objective should be to capacitate social and health professionals to face with responsibility the challenges that wait them. On this point, the Italian Network for Global Health Education (RIISG) has recently published a document in which it express its contribution to the recent national debate about medical education. Experiences which allow a direct knowledge of realities on the fringe of society, as the one which takes place with asylum seekers and refugees at Sapienza University of Rome, can contribute to develop student's critical reasoning and ethical conduct
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
