“…On one hand, they indicate that Italian nurses’ experiences and attitudes may present obstacles to providing neonatal palliative care. On the other hand, data analyses show the relevant impact exerted by religious values, which demonstrates that values and beliefs have an essential role in critically ill patients’ care (Freeman, Pfaff, Kopchek, & Liebman, 2019).…”

Purpose: Neonatal palliative care becomes an option for critically ill neonates when death is inevitable. Assessing nurses' attitudes towards, barriers to, and facilitators of neonatal palliative care is essential to delivering effective nursing care. Methods: This study was conducted from January to September 2015 and involved Italian nurses employed in Level III neonatal intensive care units in 14 hospitals in northern, central, and southern Italy. A modified version of the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitudes Scale (NiPCAS) was adopted to assess nurses' attitudes. Findings: A total of 347 neonatal nurses filled out the questionnaire. The majority were female (87.6%), with a mean age of 40.38 (±8.3) years. The mean score in the "organization" factor was 2.71 (±0.96). The "resources" factor had a mean score of 2.44 (±1.00), while the "clinician" factor had a mean score of 3.36 (±0.90), indicating the main barriers to and facilitators of implementing palliative nursing care. Conclusions: Italian neonatal nurses may face different obstacles to delivering neonatal palliative care and to improve their attitudes in this field. In the Italian context, no facilitators of, only barriers to, palliative care delivery were identified. Clinical Relevance: Nurses' attitudes towards neonatal palliative care are essential to supporting nurses, who are constantly exposed to the emotional and moral distress connected with this field of end-of-life nursing care.

“…The wound healing rate of patients on the 5th, 10th and 15th day after operation was higher than that of Group-I, indicating that negative pressure sealing drainage technology combined with silver ion sterilization nursing solution can effectively promote wound healing. 13 , 14 C G Huang et al 15 in their study observed clinical effect of the negative pressure sealing drainage (VSD) on 30 patients with alkali burn wounds. The results show that the application of VSD technology in clinical alkali burn wounds can effectively promote the removal of residual alkali, reduce further damage to skin tissue, shorten wound healing time, effectively remove inflammatory mediators and reduce the pain of dressing change.…”

Objectives: To study the application effect of negative pressure sealing drainage technology combined with silver ion sterilization nursing solution in the nursing of necrotizing fasciitis. Methods: Medical records of patients with necrotizing fasciitis, treated in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021, were selected. Patients were retrospectively assigned into two groups based on the debridement method used: debridement with silver ion sterilization nursing solution Group-I, or debridement with negative pressure sealing drainage technology combined with silver ion sterilization nursing solution. Group-II. Wound healing, dressing change times, healing time, treatment cost and patient satisfaction in both groups were statistically compared. Results: The wound healing rate of patients in Group-II group was higher than that of Group-I on the 5th, 10th and 15th day after operation (P < 0.05). Dressing change times, healing time and treatment cost of patients in the Group-II were lower than those of Group-I (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction in the Group-II was 91.4% (54 / 59), which was higher than that of Group-I (75.4% (40 / 53) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Negative pressure sealing drainage technology combined with silver ion sterilization nursing solution in the nursing of necrotizing fasciitis is effective. It can promote wound healing, shorten the healing time, reduce the times of wound dressing change and treatment cost. It also improves the overall patient satisfaction, making it an efficient method in clinical application. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.5.5945 How to cite this:Chen F, Liu C.

“…However, exploring these values presented numerous challenges, not least because of the sheer difficulties in interpreting complex nursing viewpoints concerning euthanasia. This is because these are often reflected in complex and nebulous dialogues relating to professional, interpersonal, social, emotional, and moral concerns 22,23 . Nevertheless, a relatively strong viewpoint emerged from the data that generally supported beneficence/nonmaleficence arguments.…”

This qualitative study explores the viewpoints of hospice nurses about end-of-life issues and proposed legislation that would allow assisted dying/euthanasia to be performed in New Zealand. The study uses data that were obtained from in-depth interviews with 15 experienced Palliative Care Nurses who were all working at various hospices around New Zealand. A thematic analysis process was used to develop a thematic framework, and the results indicated that there were at least 3 main themes supported by a number of related subthemes. These main themes were as follows: (a) personal values converge with professional ones when hospice nurses are asked to offer their viewpoints, (b) common end-of-life practices are not regarded by hospice nurses as acts of euthanasia, and (c) hospice nurses are greatly concerned about the effects of a euthanasia law on their profession and its relationships with the public. Our findings reveal that the hospice nurses in New Zealand largely hold negative viewpoints about the introduction of legalized assisted dying practices, arguing that such changes will present major challenges to their perceived role within their profession and within society. These findings suggest that this research should have a considerable primary impact among hospice and palliative care nurses in other nations.
