“…Additionally, humanism as a component of the light triad may act to protect against the onset of anxiety symptoms among health professionals, in situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic [34]. Furthermore, health professionals who are more likely to possess light personality traits may be less likely to experience moral damage in difficult situations [35]. The light triad is also associated with positive relationships with others [36] and compassion [32].…”

Background:The work involving helping people in difficult life situations requires specific competencies among those providing professional care.This study aims to determine the relationship of spiritual care with compassion for others and the Light Triad among clergy, social workers and hospice staff, and identify differences in the variables analysed. Study subjects and methods:The study was conducted among 578 individuals who belong to three professional groups: clergy (n = 183), social workers (n = 199) and hospice staff (n = 195), aged between 18 and 89 years. The study used the Spiritual Supporter Scale (SpSup Scale), the Compassion for Others Scale and the Light Triad Scale.Results: There were correlations for the vast majority of the variables studied. However, the correlations differed among the groups surveyed, especially in terms of the relationships of spiritual concern with indifference, faith in people, and humanism. Intergroup differences were observed. In terms of spiritual care, clergy had the highest scores while hospice staff had the lowest. In terms of compassion for others, clergy and social workers scored higher than hospice staff. In terms of the light triad, clergy had higher levels of faith in people than hospice staff, while social workers had higher levels of Kantianism compared to hospice staff.Conclusions: There were mixed results in terms of competencies in compassion and spiritual care and there were lower competencies among hospice staff compared to the other groups surveyed. The data obtained could be used as a basis for the offer of training courses and workshops to enhance the competencies relevant to the profession.

Introduction: Moral injury involves the adverse psychological, biological, spiritual, behavioural, and social consequences of actions that violate moral values. It can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Nurses, who often face ethical dilemmas, are particularly vulnerable. Despite its significance, the relationship between moral injury and mental health outcomes in nurses remains underexplored. Aim: This systematic review aimed to describe the associations among moral injury, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in nurses. Methods: The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023438731) and was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed in December 2023 across PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science. Peer-reviewed primary research involving nurses, published in English or Italian, without time restrictions, was considered eligible. The risk of bias and the quality of evidence were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist and the GRADE approach. Results: Out of 4730 articles identified, eight met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed significant positive associations between moral injury, anxiety, and depression, along with a significant negative association with quality of life. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for healthcare systems to implement strategies that mitigate moral injury among nurses. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to explore causal relationships and develop targeted interventions. Additionally, standardizing the concept and measurements of moral injury is crucial for enhancing the comparability and understanding of this phenomenon.

Improving healthcare requires appropriate community involvement supported by appropriate partner engagement methods. This research aims to develop a complex tool for evaluating the social responsibility of health facilities regarding community involvement and development. We developed areas of a new reference framework for the sustainability of healthcare organizations, which includes the area of community involvement and expansion. It is made up of nine indicators. These were designed using the most representative activities reported by hospitals around the world. Their testing was conducted in an orthopedic emergency hospital. The designed indicators are community engagement actions; the interventions’ content adapted to the community; partnership and networking; the involvement of volunteers and training networks; the involvement and participation of professional associations; community-involved local opinion leaders; satisfaction with partnerships; initiatives together with the community; and educational visits. The testing and validation of health practices of the indicators highlighted their adequacy with the proposed purpose of the research and the promotion of sustainable development. We have also verified their compatibility with the requirements of national hospital accreditation legislation and the European framework for quality assurance in hospitals.
