INTRODUZIONE: L’infermiere, già professionista o in fase di formazione, in ogni contesto clinico viene sempre più spesso a contatto con assistiti che presentano deficit di comunicazione, sia temporanei che permanenti. Le persone che presentano Bisogni Comunicativi Complessi (B.C.C.) spesso necessitano dell’adozione di strategie di compensazione, come la Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa (C.A.A.). Conoscere la C.A.A. ed i sistemi che essa mette a disposizione già in fase di formazione rappresenta un’importante risorsa per consentire di stabilire e mantenere un’efficace relazione terapeutica. SCOPO: Indagare la conoscenza e la percezione riguardo la Comunicazione Aumentativa ed Alternativa in un campione di studenti del Corso di Laurea in Infermieristica (CLI) valutando l’efficacia di un intervento formativo. METODI: Studio pre-post monocentrico con arruolamento di un campione di studenti di secondo e terzo anno del CLI dell’Università degli Studi di Milano: costruzione e validazione preliminare di un questionario per rilevare le conoscenze e percezioni prima e dopo la partecipazione ad un intervento formativo. RISULTATI: Hanno partecipato 140 studenti; al T0 il 40.0% del campione conosceva la C.A.A., al T1 il 92.14%; successivamente all’intervento formativo le conoscenze del campione sono aumentate in modo statisticamente significativo (p

Background. Phobia as a psychological disorder seems to be aggravated during health crises like the current COVID-19 outbreak. On the other hand, people's knowledge about a situation can help decrease the resulting fear. Study design. This is a cross-sectional analytical study to evaluate the COVID-19 related phobia and to measure knowledge, attitude, and practice of our target Iranian population about COVID-19. Methods. In this study, DSM-5 specific phobia questionnaire, adapted to SARS-CoV2-19 infection, was used to evaluate the COVID-19 related phobia. Moreover, the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire, specific for SARS-CoV-2 infection, was applied. Results. Phobia score was significantly higher in 1st-degree relatives of healthcare staff (20.38±5.82) than healthcare staff (18.36±5.68) (p=0.021). Females showed a significantly more severe phobia (20.27±5.41) than males (17.72±5.35, p=0.001). COVID-19 phobia was significantly more severe in those with past psychiatric conditions than in those without psychiatric history (p<0.05). The 1st-degree relatives of healthcare staff had a significantly lower level of knowledge about SARS-CoV-2 infection (8.19±1.65) than healthcare staff (9.08±1.28, p=0.001). Additionally, age had a positive significant correlation with knowledge and practice towards SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion. Both Iranian healthcare staff and 1st-degree relatives of healthcare workers are suffering from moderate COVID-19 phobia. Females are more concerned than males about COVID-19. Phobia is more severe in people with underlying psychiatric conditions than other people. The knowledge level of Iranian healthcare workers and 1st-degree relatives of healthcare staff about COVID-19 is acceptable but it needs improvement in certain areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduzione. L’infermiere di famiglia e comunità rappresenta un nuovo modello organizzativo sul territorio, coniugando il bisogno di salute tra medico di medicina generale e paziente. L’obiettivo dello studio è valutare le conoscenze dei cittadini e dei medici di famiglia sul ruolo e le attività attribuiti a tale professionista. Materiali e metodi. L’indagine conoscitiva, multicentrica, è stata realizzata nelle Regioni del Coordinamento Interregionale Basilicata, Campania, Molise da giugno a ottobre 2015. Il campione è costituito da assistiti e medici di medicina generale a cui è stato somministrato un questionario volto ad indagare la conoscenza del ruolo e delle attività dell’infermiere di famiglia e comunità. Risultati. Sono stati somministrati e ritirati 556 questionari- in Basilicata, 2014 in Campania e 266 nel Molise (100% di adesione) per un totale di 2836 utenti e 368 questionari tra i medici di famiglia. Lo studio evidenzia la diversa e difforme considerazione nelle tre regioni dell’infermiere di famiglia e comunità da parte dell’utenza, che comunque lo percepisce protagonista nel risvolto pratico del concetto “Salute”. L’integrazione e la modalità di interazione con il medico di medicina generale, permetterebbe di avvalersi di specifiche competenze di tale figura per perseguire la “mission” curativa. Conclusioni. L’infermiere di famiglia e comunità aiuta gli individui ad adattarsi alla malattia e alla disabilità cronica fornendo consulenza su stili di vita e fattori di rischio. Necessaria una maggiore conoscenza del ruolo e delle competenze di questa figura nelle regioni dove non è stata ancora implementata: la formazione con specifici master per infermieri di famiglia e di comunità e corsi di formazione per i medici di medicina generale potrebbe migliorare tali conoscenze.

BACKGROUND: A cross-sectional survey on knowledge and perception of occupational biological risk among workers in several occupations was carried out in the industrial area of Rome. METHODS: The study was carried out in the period of March-April 2010 using a questionnaire with 33 items on the following areas: a) socio-demographic data; b) perception of the biological risks in ordinary occupational activity; c) knowledge about biological risks; d) biological risks in the working environment. The questionnaire was submitted to a convenience sample of workers of an industrial area in Southern Rome. RESULTS: 729 participants entered the study from the following work activities: food, catering, service, farming and breeding, healthcare, school and research (males 57.2%; mean age 37.4 years, SD = 10.9). Significant associations were found between different activity areas with respect to the relevance of the biological risk (p = 0.044) and the perception of the biological risk (p < 0.001). With respect to vehicles of infectious agents, the highest percentages of the most common biological risk exposures were: air and physical contact for the catering and food group, 66.7% and 61.90% respectively; air and blood for the health and research group, with 73.50% and 57.00% respectively; and physical contact and blood for the service group, 63.10 % and 48.30%. Significant difference of proportions were found about the prevalent effect caused by the biological agents was the occurrence of infectious diseases (59.90% food group, 91.60% health and research and 79.30% service group) (p < 0.001). The perception of knowledge resulted in a good rank (sufficient, many or complete) in the food and catering group, 78.3% with significant difference compared to other professions (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: All participants show good knowledge the effects induced by biological agents and it is significant that almost half of the respondents are aware of the risks concerning allergies. Nevertheless, it is surprising that this risk is known mainly by workers of service, farming and breeding, to a greater extent than it is known by health workers.
