Schools of nursing and health professions of the saint camillo-forlanini hospital
No full textHealthcare professionals of the S. Camillo-Forlanini Hospital (Rome) daily provide
citizens with highly specialized treatments. The Hospital is also an academic base
where professionals are trained; in particular, nursing training dates back to the
„50s. Training activities have greatly evolved and improved with the years, thus
increasing the level of competence of these professional figures. Furthermore, they
may transfer their skills in European and extra European countries within the
clinical environment. Advanced competence and research are the foundations on
which a novel awareness of health-related issues may take shape. In order to
optimize the overall costs of a Hospital such as the S. Camillo-Forlanini,
appropriately trained and experienced professionals can become the new
generation of highly skilled experts, who manage healthcare issues with an
innovative approach aimed at providing citizens with concrete responses and
solutions

No full textImpact of job satisfaction on nursing turnover: a mixed method study
No full textOBIETTIVO: Descrivere la soddisfazione lavorativa (job satisfaction) ed esplorare le motivazioni della richiesta di turnover da parte degli infermieri clinici. METODO: Studio mixed-method condotto presso un’Azienda Ospedaliera di Roma Hub di II livello, su un campionamento di convenienza al personale infermieristico in servizio nelle seguenti tre aree cliniche: medica, chirurgica e d’urgenza/emergenza. RISULTATI: Il campione di 133 infermieri risulta avere una buona job satisfaction (60,9%). Il 21% si ritiene insoddisfatto e il 18% è incerto sul grado di soddisfazione. Gli infermieri appartenenti all’aerea urgenza-emergenza sono quelli che mostrano una più alta soddisfazione (43,7%), mentre i più insoddisfatti sono gli appartenenti all’area chirurgica (53,3%). La fascia di età tra 45-50 anni è disposta al turnover immediato, rispetto agli over 50 che preferisce rimanere nella realtà ove opera. L’analisi qualitativa ha fatto emergere 7 macroaree. CONCLUSIONI: Gli infermieri riferiscono una ottimale soddisfazione lavorativa, ma molti di loro ritengono necessario un turnover. I risultati possono avere importanti implicazioni per gli infermieri per contribuire a migliorare gli ambienti di lavoro, al fine di limitare l’intenzione di turnover.AIM: To describe job satisfaction and to explore the rationale for the nurse turnover request. METHOD: A mix-method was carried out. The study was conducted in Hub Hospital in Rome, using a convenience sampling to all nursing staff on duty in the following areas: medical area, surgical and urgency/emergency areas. RESULTS: The sample of 133 nurses was found to have good job satisfaction (60.9%). 21% feel dissatisfied and 18% are uncertain about the degree of satisfaction. Nurses belonging to the urgent-emergency area showed the highest satisfaction (43.7%), while the most dissatisfied were nurses of the surgical area (53.3%). The age group between 45-50 years is useful for immediate turnover, compared to the over 50 who prefer to remain in the reality where it operates. The qualitative analysis revealed 7 macro-areas. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses have good job satisfaction, but many of them believe a turnover is necessary. The findings have important implications for nurses by helping to improve work environments, thus reducing turnover intention
Correlation between Work Engagement and Burnout among Registered Nurses: an Italian hospital survey
No full textAIM:
To investigate the correlation between work engagement and burnout among Italian nurses.
INTRODUCTION:
Work engagement is a protective factor against burnout. Both of them may be affected by the cultural and organizational features of the investigated population, which means that results cannot be generalized. In Italy studies to measure how they correlate have never been performed.
METHODS:
Monocentric and quantitative observational study. The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used on a convenience sample of 318 nurses from an Italian hospital to assess the burnout and work engagement levels and to measure the existing correlation between the two conditions.
RESULTS:
Work engagement assessment highlighted average values of vigor (57.2%) and absorption (48%), while data referring to burnout demonstrated high levels of emotional exhaustion (55%) and depersonalization (41,5%). The three burnout dimensions and the three work engagement dimensions showed a close and meaningful correlation (p ≤0,01). A correlation between work engagement and burnout has been found.
CONCLUSIONS:
The correlation between Work Engagement and Burnout highlighted in Italian nurses should encourage the implementation of strategies which may enhance work engagement levels to limit burnout, improving the well-being of healthcare workers and significantly influencing the quality of the care process
Violence against women: An observational study in an Italian emergency department
No full textViolence against women is a pervasive phenomenon affecting one in three women aged ≥15 in the world that are more likely to visit an emergency department (ED) for the serious physical and psychological consequences of the abuse. The aim of this observational single-centre study is to describe the socio-demographic and clinical variables associated with violence against women. We enrolled 425 female patients who attended an Italian ED for trauma on 2019 and the patients' information was collected and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The average age of the patients was 41.5 (standard deviation = 14.2) years. 74.6% of the women were Italians, and 86.6% were of metropolitan origin. The reasons for the ED visit included aggression (67.5%), accidental trauma (29.0%) and unknown reasons (3.5%). Multivariate analysis confirmed that three factors were independently associated with violence: nationality (odds ratio [OR] = 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.09–0.77), head/face/neck injuries (OR = 7.32; 95% CI, 3.76–14.27) and multiple injuries (OR = 8.52; 95% CI, 1.03–70.47). Age over 25 was a protective factor. The study confirmed that being a foreigner and having head/face/neck injuries or multiple injuries are associated with violence against women
Predictors of nurses' attitudes and knowledge towards pain management in Italy. A cross-sectional study in the hospital settings
No full textntroduction
Pain is multidimensional, and as such it is the chief reason patients require urgent health care services. If inadequately assessed and untreated, pain may negatively impact on the quality of life of the patient. Pain management is an essential part of Nursing. The aim to this study is to examine the level of knowledge and attitudes with regard to pain among Italian nurses who work in clinical settings.
Methods
The Ferrell and McCaffery's Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain was distributed to 266 nurses employed in one specialized hospital in Rome, Italy. The staff in the survey work in three different settings: the intensive care unit, the sub-intensive care unit, and an ordinary ward. Descriptive statistics were employed and a logistic regression model was performed to evaluate the factors that may influence the attitude and knowledge of care providers.
Results
49.6% of the sample correctly answered items about attitudes, 47.4% about knowledge, and 36.5% about assessment. The results show that the odds ratio of developing positive attitudes towards pain was 1.76 times higher in nurses employed in the sub-intensive care unit than in other settings. There are no statistically significant associations of knowledge between setting, sex or education.
Conclusions
Our survey revealed a limited overall level of knowledge and attitudes with regards to pain management among nurses. Implementing specific training for health professionals, starting with academic education, is therefore a priority. Further research is needed on a larger sample of Italian nurses
