No full textInfermieri di comunità e di pronto soccorso per un approccio integrato ai problemi dell’anziano
No full textNella dialettica tra comunità, persona, famiglia e sistema solidale, una dialettica oggi sempre più difficile a causa dei mutamenti demografici in atto, si inserisce l'infermiere di comunità e di famiglia: due aree di competenza differenziate e complementari, che obbligano a un ripensamento profondo del ruolo e della professione, dal punto vista clinico, sociale e organizzativo. In queste pagine l'attenzione si concentra su storie che riuniscono, senza soluzione di continuità, bambini, adulti, anziani e le loro comunità. Storie dove le competenze e le capacità tecniche storiche dell'infermiere sorreggono quelle innovative. in cui le relazioni intense dei protagonisti mettono in moto la creatività e la capacità di attivare risorse, anche eterodosse, per sviluppare interventi partecipati di prevenzione e percorsi assistenziali condivisi e personalizzati. Apparirà ancora più chiaro che l'assistenza non può e non deve essere standardizzata, ma deve essere personalizzata a seconda delle esigenze delle persone e delle caratteristiche delle comunità. "Questo libro - tecnico e coinvolgente - dovrebbe finire in mano a tante persone... Sono pagine che parlano alle nostre esistenze. Alla vita di chi ha dedicato le proprie giornate al sociale. a chi si è appena affacciato a quello che, probabilmente, domani sarà il suo lavoro. a coloro che comunque nutrono interesse, più con il cuore che con la mente, a fatti e vicende che toccano uomini e donne soprattutto nel periodo della difficoltà e dell'abbandono

“Love Can’t Be Taken to the Hospital. If It Were Possible, It Would Be Better”: Patients’ Experiences of Being Cared for in an Intensive Care Unit
No full textIn this study, we aimed to explore the experiences of being cared for in an intensive care unit (ICU) through patients’ memories. We adopted a convergent parallel mixed-method design. We interviewed 100 patients shortly after their ICU discharge. Content analysis revealed 14 categories and 49 codes grouped according to themes corresponding to ICU Memory tool core components (factual events, feelings, delusions). The most critical patients reported mostly fragmented or delusional memories, the less critically-ill more factual memories. All experiences were recounted with strong feelings. ICU was identified as a hostile, stressful environment. Positive experiences were mainly associated with a sense of safety promoted by the nurses. Negative experiences were related to privacy and dignity violations, lack of empathy, not being understood, delays/lack of obtaining support, and total control by the health care staff. Removing any avoidable sources of stress and ensuring personalized, dignified care represent a key aim for ICU interprofessional teams
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Early-onset thrombosis of internal jugular vein associated with introducer catheter for heart catheterization in cardiac surgery
No full textIn cardiac surgery, Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) is often necessary and is inserted before the intervention through an introducer catheter. Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent complication of this procedure and often remains subclinical. The aims of this prospective cohort study were to determinate the incidence of CRT after positioning an SGC through an introducer and to identify factors relating to their occurrence
