Introduction: Prenatal stress is often encountered but is rarely recognized and is considered not to affect pregnancy. Pregnancy has the potential to cause morbidity during pregnancy. In a study in Indonesia, 64.4% of pregnant women experienced severe stress and were at risk of causing preterm labour. One of the preventive measures during pregnancy to improve the health condition of the mother and baby is yoga. Prenatal yoga can prepare pregnant women physically, mentally, and spiritually to play a role in the delivery process. Materials and Methods: The current study is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest without control to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on stress levels of pregnant women in the private midwives of Jambi City in 2020. The study population was 86 pregnant women; by purposive sampling, 30 pregnant women were taken. The time of the study was from March to November 2020. The data analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon test. Results: In the initial assessment, most pregnant women experienced moderate stress levels; after prenatal yoga, most pregnant women experienced mild and average stress levels. Wilcoxon test results show that prenatal yoga has an effect on stress levels of pregnant women with a p-value of 0.0001 (<0.05). Conclusion: Prenatal yoga is effective for reducing stress in third-trimester pregnant women. Keywords: Stress, pregnant women, Prenatal yoga, Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS)

Introduction: Fournier's Gangrene is a severe necrotising infection that can be fatal if not recognised and treated immediately. Treatment consists of a combination of conventional therapy with a multidisciplinary approach (early diagnosis, surgical debridement, antibiotic therapy, intensive care and reconstructive surgery) and adjuvant therapy with hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions. Objective: To identify the role and evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Fournier's gangrene. Method: To conduct the following narrative review a research question was outlined using the PIO methodology. Subsequently, a literature review was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus and CINAHL Complete databases from December 2020 to February 2021. Results: Eight studies emerged from the literature review showing that the use of adjuvant Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in combination with classical treatment has beneficial effects and enhances the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, resulting in lower mortality rates, in contrast to the average number of hospital days spent in intensive care, which do not undergo any significant change. But in contrast to mortality, the average number of days spent in intensive care differed significantly in favour of the standard treatment group. Conclusion: The combined effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy with conventional therapy offers a significant advantage in the management of FG; furthermore, HBOT is associated with a significant survival advantage. Keywords: Fournier's gangrene, Fournier's disease, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and HBOT

Un neonato sano a termine dovrebbe essere tenuto a contatto pelle a pelle con la propria madre che ha avuto un parto vaginale o un taglio cesareo con anestesia epidurale subito dopo la nascita o non appena possibile. Si definisce rooming in la permanenza del neonato e della madre nella stessa stanza in un tempo più lungo possibile durante le 24 ore. Lo scopo di questo articolo di commento è quello di discutere e generare riflessioni sulle conseguenze che il Covid-19 sta generando in quanto sta cambiando la vita e l’esperienza pre- e post-natale di molte madri e neonati nonché delle loro famiglie condizionando il contatto precoce, la diade madre-bambino, l’allattamento.

Introduzione: La pandemia da Covid-19 ha inevitabilmente avuto un impatto significativo sul nostro stile di vita, stravolgendo e mutando modalità di lavoro, tempo libero e abitudini quotidiane. La più grande e grave pandemia degli ultimi 100 anni ha messo in luce la fragilità dei sistemi sanitari di tutto il mondo. Questo in Italia ha determinato, oltre alle migliaia di morti causate dal virus, anche i “danni collaterali” dovuti al fermo dei ricoveri ospedalieri e delle prestazioni ambulatoriali per tutti gli altri malati. Materiali e Metodi: Attraverso il motore di ricerca Pubmed, con filtro di ricerca la parola “lockdown” AND “Italy” e considerando il periodo di tempo tra l’01/02/2020 e il 6/11/2020, compaiono 591 risultati. Sono stati presi in considerazione esclusivamente gli articoli e le citazioni che contenessero dati ospedalieri riferiti al periodo gennaio - maggio 2020, per un confronto con lo stesso periodo del 2019 Analisi dei dati: Gli studi selezionati mostrano uniformemente in tutto il territorio italiano un calo di ingressi e di ricoveri per patologie diverse dal Covid-19. Su 40 studi presi in cosiderazione, solo una voce ha mostrato un aumento delle prestazioni rispetto all’anno precedente. Le prestazioni sono calate poiché, durante l’era del Coronavirus, si sono ridotte le risorse per tante patologie croniche e di urgenza e per la loro prevenzione, risorse che sono state invece destinate alla lotta al Coronavirus; inoltre sono calati gli accessi al Pronto Soccorso. Conclusione: per evitare eventuali future riduzioni di prestazioni ospedaliere causa pandemia occorre trovare soluzioni alternative all’ospedale, come il potenziamento della prevenzione e della medicina nel territorio. Inoltre è indispensabile l’informazione alla cittadinanza su un uso adatto del Pronto Soccorso, anche se il calo di ricoveri per patologie a rischio vita è un chiaro segno di paura al servirsi di tale servizio in caso di emergenza.

Introduzione: L’infermiere presente all’interno delle carceri opera tra la gestione della sicurezza e il diritto della salute, spesso con elevata complessità assistenziale, in un setting difficile, dove a prescindere dal reato commesso, è fondamentale la presa in carico del paziente. Obiettivo: Individuare il ruolo e le competenze specifiche degli infermieri che lavorano negli istituti penitenziari Materiali e metodi: La ricerca degli articoli è stata effettuata tramite la consultazione di banche dati biomediche quali Medline (PubMed) e Cinahl, reperendo articoli scientifici di studi primari. Risultati: Dalla ricerca bibliografica sono stati reperiti 394 articoli ma, di questi, solo 4 articoli sono risultati pertinenti con l’obiettivo della ricerca. Dalla ricerca emerge il ruolo complesso dell’infermiere che si trova ad affrontare una popolazione che presenta diverse criticità legate a fattori psicosociali, culturali, ambientali, patologie croniche e che manifesta dipendenze, disturbi psichici, infezioni. È necessaria una formazione specialistica post base per rispondere ai molteplici bisogni assistenziali dei detenuti. Occorre maggiore tutela per il professionista Infermiere che opera all’interno degli istituti penitenziari. Conclusioni: Nel sistema penitenziario si contraddistingue la forte necessità della figura dell’infermiere e, all’interno di tale ambiente tanto da rappresentare uno dei pilastri portati dell’assistenza sanitaria, in grado di fornire e assicurare la somministrazione equa dei trattamenti sanitari. Dalla revisione emerge la necessità di ulteriori studi, soprattutto in ambito nazionale. Parole chiave: Ruoli infermieristici, assistenza infermieristica, competenze infermieristiche, competenza professionale, penitenziario, carcere.
