Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy
2021
Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…
Szczepienie przeciw COVID-19 przy podejrzeniu anafilaksji po pierwszej dawce szczepionki
2022
Wraz z rosnącą liczbą wykonanych szczepień przeciwko COVID-19 (p/COVID-19) wzrasta także liczba zgłaszanych reakcji o różnym obrazie klinicznym po podaniu szczepionki. Mimo że reakcje te występują stosunkowo rzadko i nie zawsze mają charakter alergiczny, to budzą lęk. Szczególnie pacjenci, którzy doznali działań niepożądanych szczepienia, często nie są kwalifikowani do podania kolejnych dawek tym samym preparatem. Rozpoznanie ciężkiej reakcji anafilaktycznej po podaniu szczepionki mRNA i/lub uczulenie na jej składniki są przeciwwskazaniami do szczepienia preparatem mRNA p/COVID-19.
 Prezentowany przypadek pacjentki przedstawia problem prawidłowej kwalifikacji reakcji, które miały miejs…
Teachers’ Work-Related Well-Being in Times of COVID-19: The Effects of Technostress and Online Teaching
2022
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the first measures implemented in Italy was the transition from frontal teaching to online teaching. The sudden need to use technologies to perform their job has added a source of stress to teachers’ work: so-called technostress. The difficulties experienced in this transition may also have affected the perception of work-related well-being, although other variables, such as the perception of the meaningfulness of work, could alleviate this sense of uneasiness. The study aims to examine the relationships between technostress, online teaching, pleasure in working, and meaningful work perceptions among 219 teachers from different school …

The conflict between work and family demands increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to changes in lifestyle related to the lockdown. This study examines the associations between work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with work-specific, family-specific, and well-being-related variables during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results may be used in practice to improve the well-being of employees by adjusting home-based work and family areas of life to dynamic changes during the pandemic. The sample of 736 adults from Poland (53.26%) and Ukraine (46.74%), aged between 19 and 72 (M = 39.40; SD = 10.80), participated in the study. The cross-sectional study wa…
Il Pnnr e le economie del turismo in Italia: le disparità regionali e le politiche
2022
The Italian regions show marked differences in the pattern of tourism development. These disparities can be offset by implementing a shared plan that supports the post-pandemic restart and strengthens its resilience to external shocks. The multiannual programming initiative launched by the EU with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) aims to address the consequences of the exogenous shocks triggered by the crisis from Covid-19 on the European production system. According to a top-down strategy articulated in a national plan and regional and sub-regional action plans, the large number of economic resources foreseen in the Plan will produce significant effects. The Pnrr's general …
