The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on psychiatric rehabilitation in residential facilities: perspectives of staff and residents
Full text linkThe coronavirus pandemic imposed significant changes in the care of patients in psychiatric residential facilities, especially during lockdown periods. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the pandemic on patients and staff of psychiatric residential facilities (RFs). This cross-sectional survey was conducted between 30 June and 30 July 2021 and involved 31 RFs located in the province of Verona (Italy). In total, 170 staff members and 272 residents participated in this study. Staff showing clinically significant symptoms of anxiety, depression and burnout were, respectively, 7.7%, 14.2% and 6%. Staff were concerned about the risk that COVID-19 infection might spread among residents (67.6%) and that residents could not receive an acceptable service due to service reconfiguration because of the pandemic (50.3%). Residents found it very unpleasant not to be permitted to attend family members (85.3%), and not to be allowed to engage in outdoor activities due to the restrictions (84%). Both staff and residents agree that the main problematic areas for the residents was the interdiction to meet family members or friends and the interdiction to outdoor activities, whereas problems related to the COVID-19 infection were considered by the staff members as more frequently problematic than reported by residents. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the rehabilitation care and recovery journeys of the residents of psychiatric RFs. Therefore, sustained, and careful attention is needed to ensure that the rehabilitation needs of people with severe mental disorders are not neglected in time of pandemics.

Understanding Healthcare Professionals’ Decision-Making Regarding Physical Restraint in Acute Psychiatric Wards: A Grounded Theory Study
No full textBackground: Physical restraint remains a controversial intervention in psychiatric settings, raising complex clinical, ethical, and emotional challenges. In Italy, where mental healthcare is grounded in a community-based model, restraint use continues to spark debate, but the perspectives of healthcare professionals involved in these decisions remain underexplored. Aim: This study aims to contribute further by comparing psychiatrists' and nurses' perspectives and decision-making processes, offering valuable insights into the interplay of roles within multidisciplinary teams. Methods: A qualitative study using a constructivist grounded theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were held with 89 professionals (64 nurses, 25 physicians). Data were analysed through open, focused, and theoretical coding. Rigour was ensured through triangulation, memo-writing, and external validation. Results: Four key themes and 16 categories were identified. Restraint decisions were primarily driven by fear of violence and the need to ensure safety, especially for nurses. While professionals emphasized alternatives, restraint was often seen as unavoidable. Physicians reported external pressures and ethical dilemmas, while nurses expressed emotional burden and moral conflict. Communication barriers and interprofessional tensions affected decision-making. Restraint was often initiated collaboratively but managed under ambiguous guidelines. Both professions emphasized better training, clearer protocols, and emotional support. Conclusions: This study reveals the multifaceted nature of restraint decision-making and its moral and professional implications. Findings highlight the need for systemic, cultural, and educational interventions to reduce reliance on restraint and foster more ethical, patient-centred care, offering lessons applicable across diverse international mental health systems
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
