The healthcare provider profession strongly relies on the ability to care for others' emotional experiences. To what extent burnout may relate to an actual alteration of this key professional ability has been little investigated. In an experimentally controlled setting, we investigated whether subjective experiences of global burnout or burnout depersonalization (the interpersonal component of burnout) relate to objectively measured alterations in emotion recognition and to what extent such alterations are emotion specific.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of neglect on patient nutrition and nursing skills to reduce malnutrition. To determine attitude of health care professionals towards nutritional needs in patients with neglect.

This literature review to include articles from all countries and national languages (English, Spanish and Italian) that pertain to this topic.

Background: In order to explore the possible association between chronotype and risk of medication errors and chronotype in Italian midwives, we conducted a web-based survey. The questionnaire comprised three main components: (1) demographic information, previous working experience, actual working schedule; (2) individual chronotype, either calculated by Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ); (3) self-perception of risk of medication error.

We aimed to evaluate quality of sleep and self-perception risk of medication errors, in a significantly-sized sample of nurses in Italy, using a web survey.

Aim: To investigate the impact of smartphone distraction on the quality and safety of care provided by the nursing population during work. Background: About 80% of nurses use the smartphone in the workplace both for personal purposes and as a useful support to improve the quality of care. Distraction from smartphones during care is a phenomenon that should be known and managed within each health service. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PRISMA methodology.

Aims: Technology in a care setting can help for health professions and improve communication in the multidisciplinary
but smartphone use during the care process would cause distraction and medication errors. This study aimed to

Purpose – The importance of an error management culture (EMC) that integrates error prevention with error management after errors occur has been highlighted in the existing literature. However, few empirical studies currently support the relationship between EMC and errors, while the factors that affect EMC remain underexplored. Drawing on the conceptualisation of organisational cultures, the purpose of this paper is to verify the contribution of authentic leadership in steering EMC, thereby leading to reduced errors.

Aim
To develop and psychometrically test the Italian?language Nurse Caring Behaviours Scale, a short measure of nurse caring behaviour as perceived by inpatients.
Background
Patient perceptions of nurses’ caring behaviours are a predictor of care quality. Caring behaviours are culture?specific, but no measure of patient perceptions has previously been developed in Italy. Moreover, existing tools show unclear psychometric properties, are burdensome for respondents, or are not widely applicable.
Design
Instrument development and psychometric testing.
