This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy scale by adapting it to Turkish society.
This methodological study was conducted with 265 pregnant women.
We performed exploratory factor analysis and determined that the scale consists of 17 items and 2 subdimensions. The two-factor structure was confirmed as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.87.
The Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for measuring the body satisfaction of pregnant women for Turkish society.

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are notable for exhibiting high levels of male-to-female aggression. Much of this aggression from adult males serves sexually coercive functions. Despite being smaller and lower-ranking than adult males, adolescent males also engage in regular aggression against adult females. Here, we test whether the primary function of this aggression is sexual coercion, as in adult males, or, alternatively, whether adolescent males use aggression to establish social dominance over females.
We analyzed 1771 copulations and 1812 instances of male-initiated aggression between adolescent males (aged nine through 14 years) and adult females across 21 years of observation of the Kanyawara chimpanzee community in Kibale National Park, Uganda.
Our test of the sexual coercion hypothesis revealed that adolescent males did not selectively target cycling females for aggression, nor did aggression against cycling females predict rates of copulation with those females. Our test of the social dominancers between adolescent and adult males.
To investigate and compare the centre-specific short-term outcome indicators seizures, arterial hypotension, infection and mortality during therapeutic hypothermia until discharge from the neonatal/paediatric intensive care unit in term and near-term neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) registered in the Swiss National Asphyxia and Cooling Register between 2011 and 2018.
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected national register data between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2018. Pregnancy, maternal, delivery and neonatal characteristics were compared between the centres. Four short-term outcomes were defined seizures, arterial hypotension, infection and mortality. The outcome indicators were defined as stated in the protocol of the Swiss National Asphyxia and Cooling Register. Descriptive analyses of the de-identified centre to centre analysis were performed, and standardised observed-to-expected values (risk adjusted for male sex, small for gestational age, Sarnat score on admissirences in incidence between the centres. These data will help to establish benchmarks for the assessed outcome measures. Benchmarking is a continuous need with the ultimate goal of improving modifiable short-term outcomes in neonates with HIE.. The management of pain delirium and dyspnea at home a proposal for management algorithms. The project "E-health, advanced nursing care for the cancer patient at home" includes the implementation of an app (and the evaluation of the feasibility of its use) but the core aspect is the availability of a group of nurses able to prevent and answer the needs of the palliative care patients. The three pillars of the project are training, organisation and the provision of instruments able to offer a guide to nurses when at home of the patients or when called in case of problems. In this issue 2 of the clinical practice protocols for the management of pain, delirium and dyspnea are presented. Each protocol is the result of a constant dialogue between the medical and nursing staff of the Palliative Care and Oncology units. The algorithms can be used by nurses to orient the patient in the choice of the most appropriate at need drugs.. For a visibility of the subjects of health as a human right/common good. In order to make the many populations of the national health service visible and to produce data that can be used as a guide for health planning, the fragmentation currently present in the databases, prevents the cross-communication and should be overcomed. Social, economical and health indicators should help to shape subgroups of populations and their needs, to render visible the problems (met and unmet) at community level. The critical step is the move from an epidemiology limited to the description of population problems to one that allows to highlight problems' avoidability.. Evaluation of self-perceived competence among Family and Community Nurses who attained the Master's Degree at the University of Eastern Piedmont (2013-2019) an exploratory survey.
The family and community nurse (fcn) is a recent profession identified by the World Health Organization with the role of coordinating district health and social care. University training courses have been launched to prepare future FCNs.
To evaluate self-perceived competences to be implemented at individual, family and community care among levels, of FCNs who attained the Master Degree at the University of Eastern Piedmont between 2013 and 2019.
All the 73 FCNs were sent an online questionnaire, with questions exploring the self-perceived competence levels in each item of FCNs' domain. Possible differences due to educational level and place of employment were analysed using Fisher's exact test; the Mantel-Haenszel test was used to control for confounding.
A total of 49 FCNs, aged 25-57 years, completed in the questionnaire. Overall, FCNs reported high skills in individual care, but much lower skills at the community level, especially in setting short-term and long-term goals (high-level responses 79.6-83.7% for individual vs 34.7-42.9% in the community) and in acting as an agents of change (91.8% vs 38.8%, respectively). Further significant differences emerged by education and place of work.
FCN education programmes are crucial for complexity training while courses seem to provide a sound theoretical basis, perceived competence is lower in the field, especially at community level. Further studies could provide more suggestions for tailoring future courses for FCNs.

The increasing number of the elders admitted to nursing homes (NH) requires a particular emphasis on improving the quality of nursing care. The evaluation of the organizational context has recently received growing interest, for its contribution to understanding of care outcomes and staff's needs.
To describe the characteristics and the nurses'perception of organizational context of NHs in which they work.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 50 NHs in the Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions. The following data were collected sociodemographic information on nurses, years of work experience, contract type, and work-hour profile; organizational information included ownership, size, occupancy rate; and for the organizational context, the Alberta Context Tool was administered.
Of the 312 nurses, 266 (85%) participated in the study; 79% had a university degree. Perceived organisational context scored low (median values 2.5) in terms of the availability of Interactions (Formal and Informal), Resources, Personnel and time, but good with median values above 3.5/5 on Leadership, Culture, Evaluation, Social Capital and Space, with differences according to years of experience, type and size of facility; for example, nurses working in private facilities perceived their organisational context as better than those working in public facilities.
NHs are workplaces that are still not frequently chosen by nurses and essentially considered as places of transition or end of the career. In spite of organizational contexts perceived as positive, tangible efforts are needed to improve working conditions and the perception of nurses' role.

Emerging ethical issues in clinical practice a regional survey.
In 2016, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region established the Clinical Ethics Committees in every health agency of the Region. To initiate a proactive way of "doing ethics" giving voice to those who face clinical-ethical problems, a survey was carried out in six health agencies.
To identify the most relevant ethical issues.
Survey through self-administered questionnaires, which explore a) the ethical dimension of work in health care; b) situations of potential moral conflict; c) death and dying; (d) how ethical issues are handled and the role of ethic committees.
2.774 questionnaires were collected. Almost all respondents (97%) consider ethics an integral dimension of the health profession; 35% report a lack of education on bioethic issues. Behaviors that generated moral suffering (lack of respect of patients as persons 43%; aggressive medical treatment 29%). End-of-life ethical issues were the most controversial wellas the discharge of not self-sufficient patients without a social network. Restraints use was a source of conflict; receive education on; 60% of health professionals did receive education on death and dying death and dying; 51% felt inadequate in dealing with these issues. Only 8% referred to use ethical advice.
Ethical Committees could play a role in fostering debate, proposing methods for detecting, describing and analysing ethical dilemmas, to supporting professionals in difficult clinical choices.

Transradial cardiac catheterization is increasingly being used for the management of coronary artery disease given the low risk of procedural discomfort and complications with this approach. However, the evidence relating to preprocedural anxiety levels in these patients is scarce.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anxiety levels and the predictors of anxiety in patients undergoing transradial cardiac catheterization procedures.
Data were collected using a self-administered survey. Anxiety was measured using the Spielberg's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire. WZ811 concentration Multiple regression analysis was used to identify whether gender, age, family history of heart disease, smoking status, history of depression, and trait anxiety scores were predictors of preprocedural anxiety.
A total of 198 patients participated in this study. More than half of the patients (53.5%) were classified as having a high state anxiety level. The mean (SD) preprocedural trait and state anxiety scores were 35.34 (9.8) and 36.
