The aim of this study was to evaluate loneliness and the psychosocial factors associated with loneliness in rural Spain, which have been minimally studied. <b>Methods</b>: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of permanently resident older people in the <i>Rincón de Ademuz</i> region (Valencia, Spain), a geographic area with very low population density. Emotional and social loneliness were assessed using the de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale. We also assessed whether loneliness is associated with sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and autonomy in basic and instrumental activities of daily living. <b>Results</b>: A total of 108 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years and older participated in the study out of a total sample of 181. Of them, 30.6% experienced feelings of moderate loneliness, while 2.8% presented severe loneliness. A significant correlation was found between loneliness and age (Rho = 0.28, <i>p</i> = 0.003). Significant differences were also observed between emotional loneliness and gender (<i>p</i> = 0.03) but not between social loneliness and the total score on the de Jong Gierveld Scale. Men experienced more emotional loneliness than women. In the multivariate analyses, significant associations were found between the degree of loneliness and having sons/daughters (<i>p</i> = 0.03; odds ratio [OR] = 0.24; 95% CI 0.06-0.89) and the role of caring for a dependent person (<i>p</i> = 0.002; odds ratio [OR] = 0.05; 95% CI 0.009-0.36) but not living with sons/daughters or the presence of grandchildren. <b>Conclusions</b>: There is a high prevalence of loneliness among older people living in rural areas, which is associated with some social factors. Therefore, nursing care plans should include assessments and interventions to prevent or detect and address loneliness in older people.

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of hidden nursing activities (HNAs) in these settings, hypothesizing that features and activities performed in these settings are heterogeneous across the country and widely underreported or attributed to other professionals than nurses. HNAs are hypothesized to be associated with a poor work environment climate and nurses' low job satisfaction. <b>Methods:</b> A multicenter, cross-sectional study will be conducted across exclusively nurse-led NLC and S&T services in public health care facilities in Italy. Data collection will involve inputs from organization or nursing managers, coordinators, head nurses, and employed nurses. Information will be gathered on organizational structure, service provision, access modalities, nurses' perceptions of their work environment, and the health care activities performed. Surveys will be distributed online to collect retrospective data in 2023 and via paper to collect 1-month prospective data about services' activities. <b>Expected results:</b> This study is expected to reveal HNAs in NLC and S&T, with implications for policy, resource allocation, reimbursement models, and patient outcomes, ultimately supporting healthcare reforms and enhancing nursing's visibility and impact in Italy. The findings will be essential for guiding health care resource allocation and shaping educational and regulatory policies that recognize and formalize the role of nurses in advanced practice. Policymakers could leverage the findings of this study to promote the development of standardized taxonomies, making nursing contributions more visible and measurable. Ultimately, this research will highlight the value of nursing care in NLC and S&T settings, providing an evidence base to drive policy changes that improve both health care outcomes and resource efficiency. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study lays the groundwork for health care policy reforms by advocating for the recognition, measurement, and funding of nursing contributions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and the sustainability of health systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":40753,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Reports","volume":"14 4","pages":"3754-3764"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142899101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to establish the concerns that surround the adoption of AI among Saudi Arabian healthcare professionals. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study using stratified convenience sampling from September to November 2024 across health facilities. This study included all licensed healthcare professionals practicing for at least one year, whereas interns and administrative staff were excluded from the research. Data collection was conducted through a 33-item validated questionnaire that was provided in paper form and online. The questionnaire measured AI awareness with eight items, past experience with five items, and concerns in four domains represented by 20 items. Four hundred questionnaires were distributed, and the response rate was 78.5% (<i>n</i> = 314). The majority of the participants were females (52.5%), Saudis (89.2%), and employees of MOH (77.1%). The mean age for the participants was 35.6 ± 7.8 years. Quantitative analysis revealed high AI awareness scores with a mean of 3.96 ± 0.167, <i>p</i> < 0.001, and low previous experience scores with a mean of 2.65 ± 0.292. Data management-related worries came out as the top worry, with a mean of 3.78 ± 0.259, while the poor data entry impact topped with a mean of 4.15 ± 0.801; healthcare provider-related worries with a mean of 3.71 ± 0.182; and regulation/ethics-related worries with a mean of 3.67 ± 0.145. Health professionals' main concerns about AI adoption were related to data reliability and impacts on clinical decision-making, which significantly hindered successful AI integration in healthcare.

While culturally accepted, breast ironing has severe physical, psychological, and social consequences, including damage to mammary glands, pain, infections, and potential long-term health complications.
