Determinants and Motivations of Vaccination Hesitancy and Uptake in Nurses: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Aim: Vaccinations are essential to ensure protection for healthcare professionals, patients and communities. However, vaccination hesitancy has been reported among healthcare professionals. Nurses are the main, first and direct point of contact for patients and citizens in most healthcare services, but only a minority of studies investigated vaccination hesitancy and uptake specifically in this population.

How should vaccine hesitancy be measured in healthcare workers? A systematic review of the measurement properties of validated tools.

The use of validated tools to assess vaccine hesitancy is essential for designing strategies to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs). This systematic review identified and evaluated tools measuring knowledge, attitudes, practices, vaccine intentions, and vaccine hesitancy in HCWs. Searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and JBI (PROSPERO: CRD42020212252).

[Intention to leave and turnover among nurses: a critical analysis of their measurement and interpretation].

Intention to leave and turnover among nurses: a critical analysis of their measurement and interpretation. The intention of nurses to leave (ITL) the profession or the ward where they work has been documented over the past 30 years but exacerbated after the Covid pandemic. The results of the numerous studies on ITL are difficult to compare because they often not distinguish whether one wants to leave the hospital, the ward or the profession.

Characteristics, Antecedents, and Consequences of Non-Nursing Tasks: A Scoping Review Protocol.

: Nurses report that they often must perform activities outside their area of expertise, referred to as "non-nursing tasks". The time spent on simple tasks undermines nursing capacity, which is already challenged by the dramatic shortage of nurses. Performing non-nursing tasks affects nurses' satisfaction and their intention to stay.

Are We Stepping Back? Findings From an Italian Study on Post-Pandemic Changes in Nursing Education.

Aim: To describe (a) recommended changes implemented and their perceived effectiveness at the country level, (b) changes discontinued in the post-pandemic era with reasons, and (c) research priorities in nursing education for the next five years.

Background/introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed several nursing education transformations. However, no studies have documented changes still prevalent in the post-pandemic era.

[Improving communication in nursing homes: the mySupport study].

This article aims to explore the feasibility and impact of a quality improvement project aimed to assist nursing home staff in supporting family carers when they need to make difficult decisions about end-of-life care for their relative with advanced dementia. During the three-year pandemic period 2019-2022, Italy joined the mySupport study with 2 Piedmontese nursing homes. The mySupport study is a transnational project, which involved 6 European and extra-European countries (United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Canada).

An educational programme for home mechanical ventilation in motor neuron disease.

Respiratory failure represents the leading cause of death among people with motor neuron disease (MND). Home mechanical ventilation supports respiratory function, but its management places a significant demand on patients and informal caregivers. The need for consistent support to deal with home mechanical ventilation is recognised.

The Association Between Mutuality and Quality of Life in Adults With Chronic Illnesses and Their Nurses: Actor-Partner Interdependence Model Analysis.

Cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Italian version of the active-empathic listening scale among undergraduate nursing students: A three phase validation study.

Aim: To translate, culturally adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of an Italian version of the Active Empathic Listening Scale (AELS-It) for first year students on a Bachelor degree in nursing.

Background: Active and empathic listening is characterised by the active and emotional involvement of the listener and is particularly important for nurses to understand and address patients' needs. When nurses demonstrate to patients that they are active and empathic listeners, it leads to deeper engagement and trust, strengthens the nurse-patient relationship and enhances the quality of care.

COVID-19 and nurses' ethical issues: Comparisons between two European countries.

Background: The global pandemic raised ethical issues for nurses about caring for all patients, not just those with COVID-19. Italy was the first European country to be seriously affected by the first wave, while Estonia's infection and death rates were among the lowest in Europe. Did this raise different ethical issues for nurses in these two countries as well?

Aim: The aim was to describe and compare ethical issues between nurses working during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Estonia and Italy.

Serosusceptibility and hesitancy for booster HBV vaccination among health care workers in Italy: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Health care workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV). The most effective prevention measure is vaccination, with a serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) titre > 10 mIU/ml considered protective. To date, the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics related to HBV serosusceptibility and factors associated with booster hesitancy remain unclear.

The role of nurse-patient mutuality on self-care behaviours in patients with chronic illness.

Aim: To examine the role of nurse-patient mutuality on three self-care behaviours in chronic illness patients.

Design: A cross-sectional multi-centre study was conducted.

Methods: Mutuality was measured with the Nurse-Patient Mutuality in Chronic Illness scale which has the dimensions of developing and going beyond, being a point of reference and deciding and sharing care, and self-care was measured with the Self-care of Chronic Illness Inventory (SC-CII).

Mutuality between nurses and patients with chronic illnesses: A cross-sectional descriptive study.

Background And Aim: Mutuality is a process in which the patient participates and is involved in decision-making and care interventions. The aim of this study was to measure mutuality in the relationship between nurses and chronic illness patients.

Methods: This study had a cross-sectional design; the sample included 249 patients and 249 nurses.

Effectiveness of interventions to increase healthcare workers' adherence to vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis, 1993 to 2022.

BackgroundVaccination adherence among healthcare workers (HCWs) is fundamental for the prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) in healthcare. This safeguards HCWs' well-being, prevents transmission of infections to vulnerable patients and contributes to public health.AimThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to describe interventions meant to increase HCWs' adherence to vaccination and estimate the effectiveness of these interventions.

Changes in nurses' work: A comparative study during the waves of COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe and evaluate how nurses caring for COVID and non-COVID patients assess changes in their work and in nursing activities during the two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted for Estonian nurses working during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, using The impact of COVID-19 emergency on nursing care questionnaire.

Moving forward the Italian nursing education into the post-pandemic era: findings from a national qualitative research study.

Background: During the CoronaVIrus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing education has been dramatically transformed and shaped according to the restrictions imposed by national rules. Restoring educational activities as delivered in the pre-pandemic era without making a critical evaluation of the transformations implemented, may sacrifice the extraordinary learning opportunity that this event has offered. The aim of this study was to identify a set of recommendations that can guide the Italian nursing education to move forward in the post-pandemic era.
