Second victim syndrome is a hidden pitfall inside health care organizations. The impact of a patient safety incident on health and safety of health care workers (HCWs) is still a matter with limited evidence in terms of prevalence, etiology, and effects. The aims of this study were to validate the Italian version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (I-SVEST) and determine its psychometric properties in a group of HCWs exposed to patient safety incidents. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. Construct validity for the total score and for each of the 7 subscales was assessed using principal component analysis and internal consistency using Cronbach α coefficient. The prevalence of second victims in our sample was 35.4% (85/240). The component SVEST was positively associated with turnover intentions but not directly related to absenteeism and sociodemographic characteristics. Absenteeism and sociodemographic characteristics components were positively assim and to conduct comparisons with cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. This study aimed to identify diagnostic indicators associated with the nursing diagnosis risk-prone health behaviors in pregnant adolescents. We conducted a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 181 pregnant adolescents. DUB inhibitor A latent class analysis was conducted to verify associations between the defining characteristics of risk-prone health behaviors and diagnostic accuracy measures. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the manifestation of risk-prone health behavior. The prevalence of risk-prone health behaviors in this sample was 31.04%. The defining characteristics failure to take action that prevents health problems and inappropriate eating habits achieved a high sensitivity. The related factors such as insufficient social support, stressors, low self-efficacy, social anxiety, isolated region of residence, and restricted access to health services presented significant associations with risk-prone health behavior. The diagnostic indicators associated with the nursing diagnosis of risk-prone health behavior were failure to take action that prevents health problems inappropriate eating habits, insufficient social support, stressors, low self-efficacy, social anxiety, isolated region of residence, and restricted access to health services. This study contributes to knowledge about the diagnostic indicators of risk-prone health behavior, which may help nurses reach the proper diagnosis. This will facilitate the application of clinical judgment in nursing care to assist pregnant adolescents.This study contributes to knowledge about the diagnostic indicators of risk-prone health behavior, which may help nurses reach the proper diagnosis.

To evaluate the content and psychometric properties of comprehensive nursing assessment tools developed based on The Eleven Functional Health Patterns Assessment Framework. An integrative literature review following Whittemore and Knafl's method and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Searches on PubMed, Cinahl, and Virtual Health Library were conducted between September and December 2018. Six out of 146 records were included for review. Four articles were methodological studies and two were descriptive reports of the development of the tools. Tools were heterogenous in terms of their purpose, development, characteristics, and testing. Only one study provided data about construct validity. However, there were commonalities regarding the data that should be assessed in each tool. Few comprehensive nursing assessment tools using The Eleven Functional Health Patterns Assessment Framework are available. Purpose, process of development, characteristics, and testing varied among the tools, and most lack robust psychometric testing. This review provided a synthesis of the literature regarding the use of a discipline-specific framework to guide comprehensive nursing assessment. The differences across the tools and the lack of psychometric testing compromise the visibility of nursing and make it difficult to emphasize the contribution of nursing knowledge to patient care.This review provided a synthesis of the literature regarding the use of a discipline-specific framework to guide comprehensive nursing assessment.

This study investigated the smoking behaviours and cessation rates of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, and their barriers and facilitators to cessation. The study used a mixed methods, sequential explanatory design. The quantitative data were collected at baseline (around time of cancer diagnosis) via a survey prior to commencement of treatment. Participants identified as current smokers at baseline were then followed up to determine their smoking status after treatment and asked to participate in one-on-one, semi-structured interviews. Sixty-four participants with HNC were recruited, with 29 classified as current smokers. The 7-day point prevalence cessation rate for current smokers was 72% at 1-month follow-up, and 67% at 3months, while continuous smoking cessation was 54% at 1month, and 42% at 3months. Participants who continued smoking were found to consume more alcohol (P=0.032), be in a lower stage of change (pre-contemplation or contemplation stages of the transtheoretical model) at baseline (P=0.012) and be less confident in being able to cease smoking (P=0.004). Qualitative analysis revealed 5 key themes associated with smoking cessation the teachable moment of a cancer diagnosis and treatment, willpower and cessation aids, psychosocial environment, relationship with alcohol and marijuana, and health knowledge and beliefs surrounding smoking and cancer. This study demonstrates that the majority of HNC patients achieve smoking cessation, but relapses are common. Cessation programmes should be developed that are comprehensive, sustained and address factors such as alcohol, marijuana and depression.This study demonstrates that the majority of HNC patients achieve smoking cessation, but relapses are common.
