It is considered particularly appropriate in situations characterized by: uncertain facts, a plurality of potentially conflicting values, high stakes, and urgent decisions. The objective of this paper is to present a survey that will test the opinions of practitioners and stakeholders on the usefulness of the PNS approach for addressing three emerging issues within the field of radiation oncology: the high and growing number of expected patients, the number of sessions per radiotherapy cycle, and treatment in old age. Respondents will also be asked to indicate which of the typical PNS intervention tools - such as extended and inclusive dialogue, the use of hybrid tools, adaptability and flexibility, and transparency in decision-making -are most suitable, and to what extent.

The popularity of this class of drugs has been amplified by the statements of Elon Musk, who publicly declared in October 2022 that he had lost weight thanks to Wegovy, a semaglutide-based medication launched in the US. In Italy, GLP-1 receptor agonists are mainly indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but in certain cases they can be prescribed off-label for obesity and overweight.

Monthly time series data on new users (with a 1-year washout period) of semaglutide and other GLP-1 drugs were compared to identify any changes after October 2022.

The Family and Community Nurse (IFeC) plays a crucial role in primary care, working in synergy with remote medical consultations to ensure an integrated care model; provide first-level healthcare during peak tourist periods. And experiment with a network organizational model with nursing management and teleconsultation between nurse and physician. The project was implemented from 7 to 25 August 2023, with an organizational network that included a nursing clinic managed by an IFeC at the Community House of Ponte di Legno, and the collaboration with the Integrated Medical Center of the Regional Emergency Agency for remote medical consultations. The service operated from Monday to Friday, from 10:00 to 17:00. During the activation period, there were 186 visits recorded. Of these, 87 were requests for information and 99 were requests for services. 86% of nursing management was deemed sufficient. Only 3% required a teleconsultation with the CMI physician, while 10% were directed to the Emergency Room.
