“…It is also important to start proper educational interventions on nutritional care at bachelor level [39]. A recent study conducted in Italian context amongst bachelor school of nursing students showed a negative attitude toward nutritional status assessment [25]. As already stated, this negative attitudes can be due to a lack of education from the very beginning of nurses school [24,25].…”

“…Literature explained that a lack of knowledge of the important concepts of malnutrition can lead to an underestimation of the phenomenon and to behaviors that don't prevent the onset of malnutrition. Therefore, it's important to measure the level of health professionals knowledge on these matters to implement targeted training interventions and, therefore, to promote better care [24,25].…”

“…The impact of a targeted pathway on the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students had already been studied in other topics (Bollo et al, 2019;Ruta et al, 2021). Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to measure the impact of a specific communication training course and a clinical internship on nursing students' attitudes toward effective communication (using the validated instrument I-CSAS).…”

Introduction: Effective communication is of paramount importance for nursing students, and having positive attitudes towards learning can result in the achievement of effective communication skills. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a specific communication educational course and an experience of clinical internship on nursing students' attitudes toward effective communication. Methods: A before-after study design was used. We evaluated communication attitude using the Italian version of the Communication skills Attitude Scale (I-CSAS). The scale was submitted before starting a new Communication Skills educational intervention (T 0 ), one month after the end of the intervention (T 1 ), and after the clinical internship (T 2 ). Results: The Positive Attitude Scale (PAS) was 53.9 ± 5.3 at T 0 , while the Negative Attitude Scale (NAS) was 26.9 ± 5.0. PAS scores increased one month after the educational intervention (T 1 ) (Me = 55.8 ± 5.1, p = 0.058) and after the internship experience (T 2 ) (57.2 ± 4.5, p = 1.243), while the NAS's average scores decreased (24.0 ± 4.5 at T 1 , p = 0.0002, and 23.5 ± 3.7 at T 2 , p = 0.1120). Conclusions: Our results suggest that a structured educational intervention can significantly improve student attitudes, and that subsequent clinical training helps to consolidate the levels achieved.

“…A holistic approach, which is typical of the nursing profession, requires careful evaluation of all the nursing needs potentially involved: physical, psychological, emotional and sociocultural conditions; understanding the attitudes toward spirituality is a fundamental step, within the nursing student's educational program, which can influence clinical internship experiences and shape future nursing practice (Bollo et al., 2019). Assessment of the spiritual needs of the individual and the impact that the spirituality of each human being has on every single dimension of the person and on the nursing care plan should also be taken into; for these reasons, the assessment of the spiritual dimension is an essential step in the process of nursing care to better and more thoroughly identify the specific needs of patients and their caregivers.…”

Purpose: To translate and validate the Italian version of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS-ita). Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was performed from October 15 to November 15, 2019 in a public hospital in Milan, Italy. The scale was drafted using the back-translation method. Prior to administration, the Italian version of the scale was assessed for content validity and retest stability by calculating the content validity index. Internal consistency was investigated by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient, test-retest stability by Spearman's rho coefficient. Findings: A total n = 337 nurses participated in the survey by correctly completing the scale. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (0.81) and Bartlett's test of sphericity (p < 0.001) confirmed the adequacy of the sample to conduct exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The factorial model of EFA without rotation and then with nonorthogonal Promax rotation confirmed the presence of the four constructs identified by the original author.Conclusions: SSCRS-ita showed promising psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability. The results of this study, together with the lack of in-depth studies in the Italian health and educational panorama, suggest the need to develop an educational pathway which, starting from the curricula of basic training and continuing with the updating of nursing staff, is dedicated to the detection of the spiritual needs of the patient. Implications for nursing practice:The SSCRS-ita is the first validated Italian tool concerning the consideration of the needs of spirituality and spiritual care in healthcare contexts; the possibility to use this tool is the first step towards a better integration of the mentioned dimensions of care in a nursing care qualitative perspective in Italy.
