No full textAbstract
The factors associated with exclusive breast-feeding in a Naples health district were studied in October 2008 in the period between the first and second vaccinations (neonates aged between 60 and 120 days) . Questions regarded both the mother and the child and the answers were collected in a database and compared with other methods of nutrition or mixed methods. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate logistic regression. Results showed that only 38.5% of the mothers interviewed practiced breast-feeding alone while 20% did mixed feeding and 41.5% preferred artificial feeding. The variables negatively related to breast-feeding were: breast problems, older-aged mothers, Cesarean section, first experience of breast-feeding, lack of rooming-in and/or prenatal preparative courses. Positively associated variables were: higher level of education of the mother, higher level of information regarding the advantages of breast-feeding. The conclusions of this study confirm those of previous studies regarding the relationship between exclusive breast-feeding and biological and social factors
Prevalenza delle esposizioni biologiche tra gli studenti infermieri: studio osservazionale
No full textBlood-transmitted infections such as viral hepatitis B, or human immunodeficiency virus, are a real danger to health workers.
Student nurses are also exposed to biological risks during their clinical training. This study was carried out to assess the
incidence and nature of such risks in student nurses in Italy, evaluating all the cases of biological exposure in the “G.d'Annunzio” University Hospital of Chieti from 2002 to 2006. Student nurses were monitored for 6 months after exposure.
A total number of 2047 students was observed; 665 first -year (32.49%), 691 second-year (33.76%) and 691 third-year (33.76%). During training a total of 135 (6.6%)
instances of biological exposure occurred, average age 24.94 (R.19-45:SD±5.52), 99 females (73.3%). Although there was a lower incidence in third-year students (-27%), most of them
occurred in the Medical Depar tment (86 =63.7%). Needle
pricks were the primary cause of exposure while the tabs used for measuring blood-sugar levels also represented a high risk.
Although risks were lower in last-year students, it is clear that more attention should be paid to prevention, increasing awareness of infection control and monitoring biological
exposure throughout the entire training period

Nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel education: an investigation about student's satisfaction level
No full textAbstract
In Italy there is an ever-increasing presence of unlicensed assistive personnel in ever y healthcare institution. The aim of the present study was to evaluate nurse contribution about unlicensed assistive personnel education, on this content there is a lack of investigation in Italy. The last outcome was to know the student's satisfaction level at the end of their education program, regarding the organization of their academic curricula and nurses teaching skills. A descriptive study was carried out in two healthcare teaching centres of Ravenna county, Italy. The study evaluated the lesson teaching methods, laboratory experience and clinical training. The sample was 85 students at the end of their course and a questionnaire of two sections and 26 items was given them with a total adhesion to the study. The results demonstrate that many students (28%) did not know their future role and relationship with nurses so someone showed discomfort and disappointment (6%). Eleven students (13.1%) declared having difficult relationship with nurses, especially during their training in settings where chef nurse is highly criticised and a clinical tutor is nearly always absent. Nonetheless, students were globally satisfied with their program, results suggest improvements in teaching methods organization especially during clinical training to better understand role and support provided by nurses
