This two-part series aims to address these gaps by offering a structured approach specifically for ACPs. Part one focused on conducting a thorough history-taking and physical examination to establish a solid foundation for diagnosis. Part two contributes to the existing literature by detailing essential diagnostic tools and emerging technologies that empower ACPs to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient-centred care. These include traditional methods such as skin biopsies, histopathology, microbiological testing, immunofluorescence, dermatoscopy and relevant blood tests, as well as innovative advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI) tools and imaging techniques. In addition, the integration of quality-of-life (QoL) measures highlights the broader impact of skin diseases on patients' mental and emotional wellbeing. By combining clinical examination skills, diagnostic innovations and holistic assessments ACPs can provide more effective and empathetic dermatological care, ultimately improving outcomes and diagnostic confidence.</p>","PeriodicalId":520014,"journal":{"name":"British journal of nursing (Mark Allen Publishing)","volume":"34 10","pages":"502-512"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144113312","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}

The primary motivations included personal growth, economic dissatisfaction in Italy, and exposure to new cultures. Most participants worked in Europe, particularly England and Germany. Although 71% found the documentation process straightforward, 23% faced adjustment challenges, often citing cultural differences and language barriers. Nurses abroad reported high job satisfaction (mean score=135.13), linked to better salaries and career opportunities. Most participants (93%) recommended working abroad but emphasised systemic reforms in the Italian healthcare system, including competitive salaries, recognition of qualifications, and improved recruitment processes, to retain skilled nurses and prevent 'brain drain'.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The Italian healthcare system must learn from the successful models adopted abroad to improve working conditions and counter the migration of skilled professionals.

{"title":"Analysis of generational traits and intergenerational dynamics in the nursing workforce in Italy.","authors":"Lea Godino, Elisa La Malfa, Paola Poli, Viola Di Lembo, Mattia Ricco, Laura Cioni, Domenica Gazineo","doi":"10.12968/bjon.2024.0464","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12968/bjon.2024.0464","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Italy's ageing healthcare workforce has led to a demographic imbalance where older nurses (aged 50 years and above) outnumber younger colleagues (aged under 35 years).

The study analysed generational differences across key dimensions, including adaptability, intergenerational conflict, patient safety perspectives and teamwork.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>The analysis identified significant generational differences. Younger nurses (Generation Y and Generation Z) reported higher levels of conflict compared to Baby Boomers and Generation X. Younger generations perceived themselves as more adaptable than older colleagues. Baby Boomers and Generation X scored higher than Generation Y (<i>P</i>=0.038) and Generation Z (<i>P</i>=0.027) on patient safety perspectives. Younger nurses reported more complex interactions with colleagues, reflected in higher scores. No statistically significant differences were observed across generations regarding how they worked in a team.
