In contrast, Sierra Leone experienced its largest mpox outbreak that year-Africa's first major Clade IIb epidemic-which ran from 10 January to 17 December 2025. It involved 5,442 confirmed cases among 7,110 suspected cases, a case fatality rate of 1.1%, and 22,536 contacts identified. A public health emergency was declared on 13 January 2025. Transmission peaked in epidemiological week 20 (May 2025) with 654 confirmed cases. The burden was highest in Western Area Urban (55.4%, 3,014 cases), Western Area Rural (19.9%), and Bombali (6.1%). Cases predominantly affected young adults aged 20-39 years (median age 26) and males (52.5%). Key affected groups included sex workers, children under 15 years (6.5%), and pregnant women (1.6%). High population density in Freetown, limited resources, weak coordination, misinformation, and surveillance gaps facilitated spread. Genomic evidence revealed undetected Clade IIb (hMPXV-1 lineage, including G.1) circulating for ~3 months from Nigeria. Environmental contamination affected 13.5% of healthcare surfaces. Symptoms included rash, fever, headache, lymphadenopathy, sore throat, and pain; 28.9% of cases were hospitalized, often delayed by stigma and fear. Among those screened for HIV co-infection (23.6%), 82% of deaths occurred in co-infected individuals. The National Public Health Agency (NPHA) implemented seven response pillars: case management and isolation, infection prevention and control (IPC), risk communication, targeted vaccination (186,470 doses administered from 267,000 received), coordination, surveillance, and research. The outbreak ended after 42 consecutive case-free days, underscoring the importance of early surveillance and genomic monitoring to prevent sustained urban transmission.</p>","PeriodicalId":73329,"journal":{"name":"Igiene e sanita pubblica","volume":"99 2","pages":"51-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148240819","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}

In Italy, the absence of school nurses and the lack of mandatory first aid training for all teachers place initial emergency management largely on educational staff, whose preparation is variable. Enhancing first aid culture and readiness is therefore essential for prevention, early recognition, and timely response. Aim To assess the training level and preparedness of teachers-from nursery to lower secondary school-in managing pediatric urgent and emergency situations within school settings. Material and Methods A multicenter, descriptive, cross sectional observational study was conducted (April-October 2025) using a structured questionnaire integrating two validated instruments. Participants were recruited from nursery, kindergarten, primary, and lower secondary schools in the Marche region (Italy). Data were summarized as proportions with 95% CIs (Clopper-Pearson). Associations were tested with chi square (exact tests as needed), with effect size via Cramér's V. Significance α=0.05. Correct CPR sequence knowledge was estimated as prevalence. Results The sample included nursery (n=8), kindergarten (n=12), primary (n=23), and lower secondary (n=24) teachers, mostly aged 26-50 years; 64.2% held a university degree. While 91% reported first aid knowledge and 88% had attended at least one course, only 7.5% felt genuinely prepared; 64.2% felt insecure and 28.4% unprepared, and ~90% requested further practical training. Scenario items revealed procedural gaps: only 55.2% prioritized assessing consciousness in an injured/unconscious student; 71.6% would avoid manipulating a sprained ankle; responses on bleeding were split (direct pressure 52.2% vs gentle tamponing 46.3%). Diabetes knowledge was stronger (e.g., insulin via injection 95.5%; insulin does not raise glucose 92.5%), yet uncertainty remained for managing acute episodes on site. On epilepsy, misconceptions were largely rejected, but causal attributions mixed genetics (47.8%) and emotional factors (41.8%). Practical first aid sequencing showed fragmentation; only ~33% (95% CI 22-45%) knew the correct CPR sequence. Training was strongly associated with perceived preparedness (χ²(2)=22.95; p&lt;0.001; V=0.59), age and seniority with lower confidence (V=0.66 and 0.61, respectively), and perception moderately with correct CPR sequence (p=0.003; V≈0.42). Training alone did not correlate with correct CPR sequencing (p=0.366). Discussion Current training reduces outright unpreparedness but often leaves teachers in a state of operational insecurity. Confidence and competence-especially CPR sequencing-appear to require hands on practice, realistic simulations, and regular refreshers rather than single-course exposure.

Given the rapidly aging population and the increased vulnerability, it is essential to consistently ensure high levels of attention to quality and risk assessment in long-term healthcare facilities, providing medical and social care to elderly residents or to adults with disabilities (LTHFs). Objective The objective was to identify critical issues that persist in (LTHFs) in Lombardy despite the prevention and containment strategies currently in place or ongoing, and to identify areas for improvement. Materials and Methods The cross-sectional study was based on a questionnaire developed and applied by the Risk Managers of the eight Local Agencies for Health Protection, in the LTHFs in their respective geographical areas. Descriptive, correlation, and factorial analyses were performed. Results and discussion The response rate was 82% (674 LTHFs). Results for 2022 indicate that only 43.8% of the LTHFs had designated a Risk Manager, while 67.2% had established an Incident Reporting System. No incidents were reported in half of the LTHFs. Overall, the number of reported incidents varied greatly (mean: 13.8 ± 38.9). While data protection and ethical-behavioural risks were mapped in more than 80% of the LTHFs, risks concerning internal or external communication (53.5%), litigation (47.8%) and reputation (41.1%) were mapped in fewer LTHFs. The level of implementation of the Ministerial Recommendations applicable to LTHFs ranged from 94.6% for fall prevention, to 43.8% for prevention of violence against staff, to 43.4% for prevention of transfusion reactions caused by AB0 incompatibility, and to 34.3% for prevention of suicide in the facility. Most LTHFs implemented a range of risk prevention strategies, but those concerning the use of benzodiazepines (50.7%), the prevention of antibiotic resistance (47.8%), the antibiotic consumption (42.6%), and the provision of personalized packaging for safety and medication adherence (28.6%) were implemented in less than half of the LTHFs. The formal appointment of a Risk Manager was significantly correlated with the level of implementation of best practices related to risk management, quality of care, and communication. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire were acceptable for a model with 46 items grouped into 5 distinct domains: &quot;General risk mapping&quot;; &quot;Main Ministerial Recommendations&quot;; &quot;Risk management strategies&quot;; &quot;Particular events and special medications&quot; and &quot;Quality and communication.&quot; Therefore, the authors encourage its widespread application in other LTHFs.
