Relationships between core self-evaluation, leader empowering behavior, and job security among Jordan University Hospital nurses
2021
Nurses are facing real stressors due to patients’ needs and leaders’ demands. The aim of this study is to explore the perceived level of core self-evaluation (CSE), leader empowering behavior (LEB), and job security among Jordan University Hospital nurses in Amman, the capital of Jordan. Furthermore, it investigates the relationship between the selected variables. Differences of gender, educational level, experience, and site of work are also examined with job security. Moreover, it evaluates the contribution of CSE, LEB, gender, educational level, experience, and site of work in predicting job security among Jordan University Hospital nurses. A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopte…
Il gruppo di lavoro nei servizi educativi
2019
L’essere umano è un animale sociale e la dimensione di gruppo fa parte integrante di ogni società e cultura; in particolare, nei servizi educativi e nelle istituzioni formative riveste una valenza decisiva per la cultura organizzativa, per la progettualità e per i processi di apprendimento e cambiamento. Assumere o non assumere questo dato come significativo ha a che fare con una scelta etica e politica, poiché implica l’adozione di una prospettiva partecipativa e di comunità rispetto ad una prospettiva individualistica e competitiva. Dopo aver definito le specificità di un contesto educativo, anche in una prospettiva organizzativa, l’articolo approfondisce quindi il concetto di “gruppo di …
An Online Multilingual Medical Vocabulary/Thesaurus/Dictionary (MED-VTD) for Facilitating Understanding of Medical Texts
Medical texts (e.g., reports and medicine leaflets) are usually written by professionals (physicians, medical researchers, etc.) who use their own language and communication style. On the other hand, they are often read by health consumers or other medical professionals who do not have the same vocabularies and can have difficulties in text comprehension. Thus, to help a generic user in understanding a medical text, it would be desirable to have an online medical vocabulary/thesaurus/dictionary that he/she can easily look for finding the plain equivalent of any medical (technical) term and a definition of the term with the same kind of language. In this work, we present an online multilingu…
An Intelligent Empowering Agent (IEA) to Provide Easily Understood and Trusted Health Information Appropriate to the User Needs
2023
AbstractMost members of the public, including patients, usually obtain health information from Web searches using generic search engines, which is often overwhelming, too generic, and of poor quality. Although patients may be better informed, they are often none the wiser and not empowered to communicate with medical professionals so that their care is compatible with their needs, values, and best interests. Intelligent Empowering Agents (IEA) use AI to filter medical information and assist the user in the understanding of health information about specific complaints or health in general. We have designed and developed a prototype of an IEA that dialogues with the user in simple language, c…
On-Line Retrieval of Health Information Based on Language Complexity, Information Customization and Information Quality
2021
Abstract. A patient, nowadays, acquires on-line health information mainly by means of a search engine. Generic search engines have been shown to be limited and unsatisfactory, at times, because of their generic searches that overload users with the amount of results. Moreover, they are not able to provide customized information to different types of users. At the same time, specific search engines mostly work on medical literature and provide extracts from medical journals that are mainly useful for medical researchers and experts. As a consequence, the found health information may or may not help a user (mainly a non-expert one) for a full comprehension of what he/she is looking for (e.g.,…
How to Empower Gypsies? An Ethnographic Study
2010
The work focuses on the case of the nomad camp of Palermo, in southern Italy, where three groups of “Gypsies” have been living for twenty-five years, in ghetto-like conditions. This camp represents a world outside the city, or rather a confined microcosm, with, except for volunteer workers, sporadic contact with the people of the city or the public administration. . This means that there is no inter-relationship between the camp and the outside world. On the contrary, for the so-called host society, the three different groups represent a sort of generic and nebulous whole, cut off in a green area, surrounded by a high wall. Not seeing them means not caring about them, their living condition…
Empowering Gypsies and Applied Anthropology
2011
Abstract This work focuses on the case study of the nomad camp of Palermo, in southern Italy, where Roma Cergara and Roma Xoraxane have been living for twenty-five years, in ghetto-like conditions. This camp represents a world outside the city, or rather a confined microcosm, without any interrelationship with the outside world. Moving ethnic minority groups from poverty to social inclusion represents a very difficult challenge. Moreover, since these communities are used to arrange themselves through an economy that is borderline between an underground economy and a subsistence economy, sometimes helped with assistance attitudes of external social actors, the way towards community action is…

The principal aim of the project was the empowerment of participants, obtaining their collaboration through participation, giving them acquisition of knowledge for a real social change.
Elementi di psicologia di comunità. Progettare, attuare e partecipare il cambiamento sociale
2012
La terza edizione di un manuale i cui approfondimenti tematici sono esemplari del carattere d’interdisciplinarietà che la psicologia di comunità è riuscita a conservare dal suo nascere a oggi, pur essendo chiaro che essa è una disciplina a sé, con riconosciuta compattezza scientifica tra i suoi esponenti. Approfondimenti che possono considerarsi degli “affondi” che, verticalmente, rendono la disciplina ricca di linguaggi diversi, di modelli tra loro ancora in cerca di dialogo, di strumenti il cui utilizzo è inerente alla sintesi “ricerca-azione” e mai solo all’una o all’altra. Il format del volume è “pensato per pensarsi” psicologi di comunità e operatori sociali (operatori di strada, proge…
