Differences in the incidence and clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection between Italian and non-Italian nationals using routine data
No full textOBJECTIVES: This study was to compare the incidence and clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection between Italian and non-Italian nationals. STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively analysed data from the COVID-19 Italian integrated surveillance system (14 September 2020 to 17 October 2021). METHODS: We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of infection and, among cases, the HRs of death, hospitalisation and subsequent admission to intensive care unit in non-Italian nationals relative to Italian nationals. Estimates were adjusted for differences in sociodemographic characteristics and in the week and region of diagnosis. RESULTS: Of 4,111,067 notified cases, 336,265 (8.2%) were non-Italian nationals. Compared with Italian nationals, non-Italians showed a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection (HR = 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80–0.81). However, once diagnosed, they were more likely to be hospitalised (HR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.87–1.92) and then admitted to intensive care unit (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04–1.13), with differences larger in those coming from countries with a lower human development index. Compared with Italian cases, an increased rate of death was observed in non-Italian cases from low–human development index countries (HR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.23–1.62). The HRs of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe outcomes slightly increased after the start of the vaccination campaign. CONCLUSIONS: Underdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis in non-Italian nationals could explain their lower incidence compared with Italians and, among cases, their higher probability to present clinical conditions leading to worse outcomes. Facilitating early access to vaccination, diagnosis and treatment would improve the control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and health outcomes in this vulnerable group
Interrelationships between social exclusion, mental health and wellbeing in adolescents: insights from a national Youth Survey
No full textUtilising the most recent data from the largest annual survey of young people in Australia, the 2022 Mission Australia Youth Survey (n=18,800), the aims of the current study were twofold: (i) to obtain a better understanding of the relationships between social exclusion domains, mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 15-19 years; and (ii) identify potentially modifiable targets, or population groups requiring greater or targeted supports

Jerusalem – an independent being – a portrait of the city in Mahmoud Shukair’s novel Jerusalem Stands Alone
No full textIn his novel Jerusalem Stands Alone, a Palestinian writer, Mahmoud Shukair, pays homage to his home city. Jerusalem is teeming with uninterrupted life, overwhelmed by the past’s facts and experiences. While observing the urban space, apart from the places of religious worship and historical monuments, the author notices the people. It is about them, for them, that Shukair dedicates 155 short stories – vignettes. Each story is a separate tale; through them, the author evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient and modern Jerusalem.JOANNA WILDOWICZ – dr nauk humanistycznych; lektorka w Studium Praktycznej Nauki Języków Obcych na Wydziale Filologicznym Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku; absolwentka Nauczycielskiego Kolegium Języka Angielskiego na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim (Filia w Białymstoku); magisterium pod opieką prof.

Guidance on Minimum Standards for Canine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Adolescent Mental Health: Delphi Expert Consensus on Health, Safety, and Canine Welfare
No full textAs interest in animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and canine-assisted psychotherapy (CAP) grows, there are increasing calls for the management of related health, safety, and welfare concerns for canines, providers, and clients. Existing health and safety guidelines lack empirical support and are, at times, contradictory. Welfare is increasingly prioritized; however, tools to monitor and manage welfare are underutilized and under-reported. The aim of this study was to provide expert consensus on the minimum health, safety, and welfare standards required to develop and deliver a CAP group program to adolescents experiencing common mental health disorders. Diverse AAT experts were recruited globally. Using Delphi methodology, over two rounds, 40 panelists reached a consensus agreement to include 32 items from a possible 49 into the minimum standards. Health and safety measures included risk assessment, veterinary screening, preventative medicine, training in infection control, and first aid. Welfare measures included training in welfare assessment, documentation of welfare, and flexible, individualized responses to promote wellbeing. Intestinal screening for parasites and the prohibition of raw food were not supported. Flexible and individualized assessment and management of canine welfare were supported over fixed and time-limited work schedules. Clinical practice implications are discussed, and recommendations are made
