The results highlighted the relevance of malnutrition in the psychiatric population and suggest the need for a systematic evaluation, in every clinical context as well as the key role of nurses.

University time is considered to be a period of vulnerability among nursing students for substance abuse, which can create an unsafe clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the substance abuse of nursing students in the form of alcohol, drugs and tobacco use during the course of studies. In addition, another study aim was to describe a typical socio-demographic profile for substance-abusing students.

A longitudinal study design based on a sample of 254 nursing students was used. Data from the same cohort of students at the baseline level (T0), at the end of the first year (T1), at the end of the second year (T2) and at the end of the third year (T3) were analysed.

A decrease in the number of nursing students who smoke regularly, an increase in the number of those who use drugs to lose control and of those who drink weekly were found.

The early recognition of substance-abusing students can be fundamental to their health, academic background and safe clinical practice.

Maternal satisfaction regarding care during delivery is an indicator of maternity service’s quality.

We conducted an observational study between May and August 2018, using an online questionnaire for women who have delivered in the last 3 years. Data was processed using descriptive and bivariate analysis, considering satisfaction as outcome.

Sample includes 1229 women. About 73% had a spontaneous vaginal delivery, of which 29.3% received a Kristeller manoeuvre and 34,4% episiotomy. Three women out of 10 complaint about lack of involving in the decision-making process, 13.9% of women believe that their delivery’s experience can negatively influence their decision to have another child, and 19.8% would like not to give birth again in the same hospital. Four women out of 10 are only partially satisfied with the care received and 6.4% is not satisfied at all. Satisfaction is significantly associated to the following variables age more than 25 years old, positive environment during labour, gentle attitude of healthcare provider, respect of needs, respect of dignity, woman’s inclusion in the decision making process, presence of a trustworthy person during the labour/delivery, vaginal delivery, positive delivery’s experience, episiotomy, Kristeller manoeuvre, skin-to-skin contact, support during breastfeeding and postpartum period, choice to come back in the hospital for another delivery.

We should implement strategies to promote the mother-partner-child triad as a central focus during delivery and allocate human resources in more efficient ways.

Web and social networks play a crucial role in health information seeking and health literacy levels. In the last ten years people are able to access a wide range of health information from a plethora of sources. People who live in the city experience an increased stimulus level related to the density of people and the overload of information inputs.

We undertook a census analysis of groups on a social network to identify the importance of health information for the all population and with the aim to evaluate the intersection between digital health information seeking, social networks, and social capital.

This study shows that there is a relevant growing number of groups health-related, especially connected to chronic disease and another aspect relevant to the daily health of the population. The study identifies two aspect in all groups one aspect is connected to share information about treatment and medication and other aspect connected to the relationship in terms of sharing experiences and emotional understanding health information and health literacy, use of social networks and the key role of the environment, infrastructure, algorithms and construction in building social capital of individuals and society. It’s necessary avoid to think that people live in many separate islands, instead in the same interconnected arena with health professionals that have to work for a better understanding of digital and social networks.

Meeting the literature standards during the triage process of trauma victims, allows to make optimal use of the resources available in Trauma Centers and defines their level of quality and efficiency. Otherwise, it may occur over or under-triage. Up to now, in the reality under study and in the national literature, there wasn’t any available data about efficiency and effectiveness in the triage of traumatic patients, therefore the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the over and under-triage rate in activating Trauma Team (TT) in the ASST of Monza San Gerardo Hospital.

The study design is retrospective monocentric observational.

During the analysis, the TT-activation in ASST of Monza-San Gerardo Hospital produced an over-triage of 62,9% and an under-triage of 1,7% for the same year.

The use of TT-activation algorithm is the first step of the entire care process ofthe trauma victim. This tool should guarantee the right balance between high sensitivity and high specificity (minimum over-triage rate with the possibility of higher under-triage). However, there is no sharing of these algorithms as they are inhomogeneous in the different realities; for example, the definition of major trauma, of TT and of its composition is still uneven.

This study measured the over and under-triage rate related to the TT activation in the ASST of Monza. Dihydroartemisinin It is therefore advisable to monitor those rates periodically, as possible indicators of quality of assistance and to pursue the mission of increasing efficiency as well as effectiveness.
