Public Involvement Report
Older LGBTQ+ adults face persistent inequalities in health and social care, often shaped by historical trauma and systemic exclusion, raising critical questions about how ageing can be supported equitably. This public involvement project explored the narratives and expectations of older LGBTQ+ individuals regarding ageing, health, and social care. Public involvement events were organised and facilitated by an interdisciplinary group of academics …
Spirituality and palliative care
In recent years, healthcare organizations and scholars, particularly in Western societies, have increasingly recognized the importance of the spiritual dimension in patient care. However, this aspect still needs to be fully integrated into everyday practices. Palliative care has begun to emphasize spirituality, addressing patients' psychological and existential needs through a holistic approach beyond the traditional biomedical paradigm. This con…
The Girandole
Purpose The need for authentic equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in nursing education and clinical practice is well documented, with many institutional initiatives developed over the past decade. Yet, despite these efforts, discriminatory behaviours toward nursing students and healthcare practitioners continue to surface—undermining institutional policies, professional codes and fundamental human values. This discursive paper presents a con…

The purpose of this study was to provide insights into ways empowerment, caring for self, environment, and building relationships impact well-being among palliative care professionals. METHODS: Interpretative descriptive methods framed focus group inter…
The Family and Community Nurses Cultural Model in the Times of the Covid Outbreak
The ageing population, increasingly frail and chronically ill, and COVID-19 pandemic challenges have highlighted national health systems' vulnerability and, more strongly/to a greater extent, the pivotal role of the family and community nurse (FCN). However, the recent introduction of FCNs in primary care settings has yet to be explored in Italy. This study aimed to identify the FCNs' cultural model and its implementation during the COVID-19 outb…
Managing the end of life in Covid patients. The role of palliative care in emergency departments during the pandemic
Managing COVID-19 patients has been an extremely difficult and dramatic task, especially for emergency departments during the strongest waves of the pandemic in Italy. Medical staff and health professionals were redeployed from their work setting to COVID units; many were overwhelmed by the deaths of so many patients in a very short time. This work aimed to explore palliative care health professionals' and physicians' perceptions of end-of-life c…
La tecnica Delphi
Delphi is a technique born in the Fifties of the last century that takes advantage of the group to collect opinions and build a consensual representation. Starting from a research experience in the socio-health field on the issue of interprofessional care, the paper aims to propose a methodological evaluation of the technique, highlighting its limits and potential for social research
