No full textAim of the study was to investigate the lifestyles of nursing students attending the first year at an Italian school of nursing, before their knowledge of health promotion and health education can condition their behaviour. Research suggests that nurses themselves, in both the acute and primary care settings, perceive that health education is an important part of their role. The study consisted of a self-administered questionnaire with five sections: general data, and questions on nutrition, physical activity, smoking behaviour and alcohol. Response rate was 89.2% (149/167): 87.2% of respondents reported they were satisfied with their health status; 70.5% of students had a normal body mass index; 40.6% of males and 23.1% of females played a sport; 49.7% had never smoked in their life; 50.3% had smoked at least once; 62.7% were smokers and 75.2% of students had drunk alcohol at least once. The students surveyed adopt unhealthy behaviours like smoking, use of alcohol and poor physical activity even if they consider they are in good health. The study stresses the fact that the nursing population needs to be specifically trained to make positive changes. This is important for their education and also for their position as role models for patients they will care for in the future

Full text linkPurpose: Currently, surgical drainage during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is still placed in selected patients. Evidence of the non-beneficial effect of the surgical drain comes from studies with a heterogeneous population. This preliminary study aims to identify any clinical, demographic, or intraoperative predictive factors for a surgical drain placement during LC as the first step to identify population for a prospective randomized study. Method: The study was conducted in a single referral center and academic hospital between 2014 and 2018. Patients who underwent unconverted LC were divided into two groups: Group A (drain) and Group B (no drain). We explored baseline, preoperative, intraoperative characteristics, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Between 409 patients who underwent LC: 90 (22%) patients were in Group A (drain). Age >64 years, male sex, cholecystitis, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥ 1, experienced surgeon, intraoperative technical difficulties, need for an additional trocar, operative time >60 min, and estimated blood loss >10 ml were predictive factors at univariate analysis. While at multivariate analysis, cholecystitis (odds ratio [OR]: 2.8, 95% CI:1.5–5.1; p < 0.001), CCI ≥ 1 (OR:1.9, 95% CI:1.0–3.5; p = 0.05), intraoperative technical difficulties (OR: 3.6, 95% CI:1.8–6.2; p < 0.001), need of an additional trocar (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.4–4.4; p < 0.005), and estimated blood loss >10 ml (OR: 3.0, 95% CI:1.7–5.3; p < 0.0001) were predictive factors for a surgical drain placement during LC. Conclusions: This study identified predictive factors that currently drive the surgeons to a surgical drain placement after LC. Randomized prospective studies are needed to define the use of drain placement in these selected patients
