This event excluded children and teenagers from the opportunity to learn, socialize, experiment and increased early school leaving. In light of these premises, during the summer months of 2020 the Azienda sanitaria Friuli Occidentale (AsFO) decided to set up a working group to accompany schools in the prevention and containment of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in the course of the school year 2020-21, with the aim of guaranteeing the right to study and favoring teaching activities in presence in the highest conditions of health and safety. The school reality of the Pordenone area is made up of 40 Comprehensive Institutes for a total of about 206 school complexes of all levels (public, equal and private). In total, the local school population is about 33,000 pupils and 4,000 units of school staff (teachers, ATA, etc ...). The activities of the Schools Group were analyzed by monitoring all interventions with carrying out rapid antigen tests at school and by assessing the incidence of infections within schools. From September 2020 to June 2021, the AsFO Schools Group participated in about 35 teaching colleges and more than 10 dedicated meetings with the families of school pupils of all levels. In total, 170 interventions with rapid antigen tests were carried out at school, involving all the schools in the Pordenone area and a total of 206 classes. During the interventions at school, a total of 6,370 rapid antigen tests were carried out, of which 70% concerned pupils (4,458 total tests) and 30% concerned school staff (1,912 total tests). The antigen tests carried out at school found 173 total positivity (equal to 3% of all tests carried out at school). Out of 173 positives found, 121 are students (70% of the total) and 52 are school staff (30% of the total). During the observation period, the results of the interventions with rapid antigen tests carried out at school led to the continuation of the teaching activity in the presence (with respect to the hygiene and behavioral measures defined by the DP) in 69% of cases (118 interventions). In 9% of cases (15 interventions) the &quot;cross&quot; quarantine was carried out, while in 17% of cases (29 interventions) the quarantine was established for the entire class / section. In 7 circumstances, following the intervention at school, quarantine was established for several classes. Only in 4 circumstances was the institution of quarantine for all school staff, a situation that led to the interruption of all educational activities for the quarantine period.</p>","PeriodicalId":73329,"journal":{"name":"Igiene e sanita pubblica","volume":"79 5","pages":"605-624"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39823173","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}

Hence our objective which was on the one hand to determine the rates in terms of possession and use of ITNs in countries located in Sub- Saharan Africa between January 2015 and January 2020, and to determine the impact of the use of ITNs on the probability of being infected with malaria.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>To achieve our goal, we conducted a systematic literature review followed by a meta-analysis.

We noted an average rate in terms of possession of 75.8%±15.2 and in terms of use of 58.3%±18. This represents a gap of approximately 43.1%±19.2. Many factors was significantly associated with this level of use. These included the wealth quintile, the number of children under 5 in the household, the education level of the head of the household, and the knowledge that sleeping under a mosquito net protects against malaria.

The consequences of Unfinished Nursing Care have been set at three levels: outcomes for the nurse (increased frustration, anxiety, helplessness, work overtime), outcomes for the patient (increased risk of infections related to care practices, bed rest syndrome; loss of independence and quality of life, disorientation; increase episodes of in undefined care pathways, aggression towards staff, decrease in compliance and increased the length of in-hospital stay) and outcomes affecting the relationship with family caregivers (difficulties in the relationship, disappointment, increased risk of complaints).</p>","PeriodicalId":73329,"journal":{"name":"Igiene e sanita pubblica","volume":"78 4","pages":"545-563"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39418388","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}
