No full textIn “Digital Health Competencies Among Health Care Professionals: Systematic Review” (J Med Internet Res 2022;24(8):e36414) the author of a study included in our review, namely “Kocher, A, et al (2021). Patient and healthcare professional eHealth literacy and needs for systemic sclerosis support: a mixed methods study. RMD open, 7(3), e001783” noted two errors: 1. In the “Main Characteristics of Studies Identified” sub-section of “Results”, the maximum age of participants of studies included was incorrectly reported: The sample size was variable across the studies, ranging from 36 [30] to 5209 participants [39] with a variable age range from 20 [36] to 68 years [27]. Thus, the sentence has been updated as follows: The sample size was variable across the studies, ranging from 36 [30] to 5209 participants [39] with a variable age mostly comprised between 30 [46] and 50 years [27]. 2. In Table 1, under the column “Sample and profession; age”, referring to the study of Kocher et al, 2021 [27], the age of professionals was incorrectly reported: 47 professionals (registered nurses, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, occupational therapists, advanced practice nurses, general practitioners, psychologists, social workers, health policy); median age 60 (IQR 50-68) years Thus, the sentence has been updated as follows: 47 professionals (registered nurses, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, occupational therapists, advanced practice nurses, general practitioners, psychologists, social workers, health policy); median age 41 (IQR 31-51) years The correction will appear in the online version of the paper on the JMIR Publications website on November 29, 2022, together with the publication of this correction notice. Because this was made after submission to PubMed, PubMed Central, and other full-text repositories, the corrected article has also been resubmitted to those repositories
Time-to-event analysis of individual variables associated with nursing students’ academic failure: A longitudinal study
No full textEmpirical studies and conceptual frameworks presented in the extant literature offer a static imagining of academic failure. Time-to-event analysis, which captures the dynamism of individual factors, as when they determine the failure to properly tailor timely strategies, impose longitudinal studies which are still lacking within the field. The aims of this longitudinal study were to investigate the time which elapses from a nursing student's admission to a Bachelor of Nursing program to their academic failure and to estimate the predictive power of individual variables on academic failure. Enrolled students (n = 170) in two Italian nursing degree programs during academic year 2008-2009, received at the beginning of each years a questionnaire which evaluated individual variables. Academic failure rate was 37.2 %. Time-to-event analysis has shown that academic failure occurred after an average of 664.52 days of course attendance (95 %CI = 623.2-705.8). Kaplan-Meier analyses demonstrated a high likelihood of failure among males (χ2 7.790, p 0.005) and among those who had obtained a final average grade in their secondary education ≤73/100 (χ211.676, p 0.001). Cox regression analysis confirmed an increased likelihood of failure over time among males as compared to females (HR 1.931, 95 %CI = 1.017-3.670), and among students living more than a 30 min commute from their place of study (HR 1.898, 95 %CI = 1.015-3.547). The effect of these two factors on academic failure has been seen to manifest primarily toward the end of students' second academic year; students at risk might be supported by the appropriate university staff prior to this period. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht
Does missed nursing care influence the use of physical restraint and its duration in acute medical patients? Secondary analysis of a longitudinal study
No full textMissed nursing care and physical restraint have been identified as indicators of patient safety, but no studies to date have explored their relation. To explore the relation between these two phenomena, a secondary analysis of a longitudinal study on 1464 in-hospital patients and 314 registered nurses was performed. The use of physical restraint was assessed at the bedside on a daily basis; missed care was assessed with the MISSCARE survey. Individual, nursing care, and hospital-level variables were measured. A total of 184 (12.6%) patients were restrained for 20.33% of their in-hospital stay. No significant differences emerged in the occurrence of missed care between restrained and unrestrained patients. However, some common antecedents of these two phenomena emerged: in units where there is a lack of personnel, both an increase in missed care and physical restraint duration should be expected. As a consequence, patients are threatened in their right to receive the required care and they are at risk of being restrained. Moreover, a higher skill mix is a preventive factor, which suggests that the increased numbers of registered nurses on the team, may prevent routine forms of physical restraint use by analyzing the physical restraint in place critically and removing them as soon as possible, thus reducing the duration of the restraints
Anticipated nursing care as perceived by nursing students: Findings from a qualitative study
Full text linkAim: To explore the perceptions of nursing students on the phenomenon of anticipated nursing care. Design: A descriptive-qualitative study was performed in 2019 according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research principles. Methods: Data were collected using 16 face-to-face, audio-recorded interviews across four Italian Bachelor of Nursing degrees. Then, content analysis was performed, identifying, analysing and describing the anticipated nursing care phenomenon as perceived by nursing students. Results: Administering medications, providing fundamentals of care, managing some clinical procedures, freeing up the patient's bed and starting the shifts early emerged as the most anticipated nursing interventions. Stable, older patients who were more functionally dependent were reported to receive some fundamental nursing care before the expected time, while older, stable and more independent patients were used to receiving medications in advance. Anticipated nursing care is triggered by factors at the time management, resource, programming, professional and organizational levels
Nurses' engagement levels in an Italian public healthcare trust: findings from a cross-sectional study
No full textSUMMARY: Introduction. Assessing nursing engagement and designing strategies to improve engagement according to the specific needs of the staff have been considered essential to avoid losing nurses, mitigate future shortages and improve patients' outcomes. Objectives. To explore engagement levels of staff nurses working in an Italian public health-care trust comprising a general hospital, a rehabilitation hospital, district centers and mental health services, and their association with demographic and professional variables. Methods. The Health Care Advisory Board's Nurse Engagement Survey (NES) was used to measure 547 nurses' engagement levels. Results. Out of 499 nurses, 8% were engaged, 40% were content, 39% were ambivalent and 13% were disengaged. According to the multiple linear regression analysis which has showed R 27.3% (R2 7.5%) of the variance in the total score of NES, being older than 45 years was associated with an increased likelihood of being work-engaged (β 0.121, [Confidence of Interval] CI 95% 0.066 to 0.457); differently, having the intention to leave the unit in the next three months (β -0.168, CI 95% -0.552 to -0.179), and working at the hospital levels as compared to other settings (e.g., Mental Health Service, β -0.150, CI 95% -0.140 to -0.038) were negatively associated with the WE. Conclusions. Nursing leaders should prioritize strategies to increase Registered Nurses' engagement. Specific initiatives devoted to younger nurses and to those intending to leave the unit, as well as to those working at the hospital level, are needed given these groups have a higher likelihood to be not or poorly engaged
