Politica al femminile. Margherita Bontade militante democristiana nella Sicilia dei primi anni della Repubblica
2014
Margherita Bontade è una tra le più singolari figure di donne impegnate in politica nella Sicilia del Secondo Dopoguerra; tra le poche ad aver trovato spazio nella cerchia dei potenti democristiani del tempo, occupati ad opporsi all’avanzata dei partiti del Blocco del Popolo, con la benedizione delle gerarchie della Chiesa Cattolica. Le sue fortune elettorali dipendono, da un lato, al suo stretto legame con la Curia e al rapporto personale con il Cardinale di Palermo Ernesto Ruffini; d’altro lato, all’alleanza politica prima con Bernardo Mattarella e poi con Franco Restivo. La sua fulminante carriera politica che si snoda nell’arco di un ventennio – tra la fine degli anni ’40 e la fine degl…
How is motivational interviewing (un)related to self-determination theory: An empirical study from different healthcare settings.
2021
To explore how quality aspects and clients’ verbal behaviors in Motivational Interviewing sessions correspond with counsellors’ support of basic psychological needs described in Self-determination Theory, we conducted a mixed method study with quantitative analyses of transformed qualitative data from counselling sessions. Coding manuals identified if the counselling was consistent with Motivational Interviewing and the support of basic psychological needs. The study supported a conceptual relationship between motivational interviewing (MI) and self-determination theory (SDT), except for autonomy support which was conceptualized differently in the two approaches. Relational support in SDT a…

Effects of an Individualized Active Aging Counseling Intervention on Mobility and Physical Activity: Secondary Analyses of a Randomized Controlled Tr…
2020
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report preplanned secondary analyses of the effects of a 12-month individualized active aging counseling intervention on six mobility and physical activity outcomes. Methods: A two-arm, single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 75- and 80-year-old community-dwelling people. The intervention group (IG, n = 101) received counseling aimed at increasing self-selected, primarily out-of-home activity. The control group (CG, n = 103) received general health information. Data were analyzed with generalized estimating equations. Results: Physical performance improved in the IG more than that in the CG (group by time p = .022), self-repor…

Method: Promotion of mental well-being in older people (GoodMood; ISRCTN78426775) was a single-blinded randomized control trial lasting 1.5 years. Two hundred and twenty-three persons aged 75–79 years reporting symptoms of loneliness or melancholy were randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was allowed to choose among supervised exercise, social activity, or personal counseling. Follow-up measurements were conducted at the end of 6-month intervention, and at 3, 6, and 12 months…
Negotiation in Type 2 Diabetes Counseling: From Problem Recognition to Mutual Acceptance During Lifestyle Counseling
2003
Negotiation, an essential communication activity in lifestyle counseling, has rarely been studied at the micro level of interaction. Furthermore, the evidence for interpersonal negotiation to occur in counseling practice is inconclusive. In this study, the authors describe how negotiation focused on lifestyle changes was produced in nurse-patient interaction. The research data, 73 videotaped diabetes counseling situations, were analyzed using conversation analysis. The process of negotiation consisted of recognizing the problems in the patients' health behavior, offering proposals as solutions to the problems, and reaching an agreement on them. Negotiation had characteristics similar to th…
ESMO Consensus Guidelines for management of patients with colon and rectal cancer. A personalized approach to clinical decision making
2012
Contains fulltext : 111010pub.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common tumour type in both sexes combined in Western countries. Although screening programmes including the implementation of faecal occult blood test and colonoscopy might be able to reduce mortality by removing precursor lesions and by making diagnosis at an earlier stage, the burden of disease and mortality is still high. Improvement of diagnostic and treatment options increased staging accuracy, functional outcome for early stages as well as survival. Although high quality surgery is still the mainstay of curative treatment, the management of CRC must be a multi-modal approach pe…
The body-mind problem from a personality relativity theory approach: (Relativity of personality)
2012
The body-mind problem is here posed fromthe General Factor of Personality Theory and mathematically presented as a relativity theory: 1. A two-level-invariant model; 2. The transformation equation between both levels. On a hand, the investigation of personality dynamicsas a consequenceof a stimulant drug provides a system of two coupled differential equations, which adapts to both biological (body) and psychological (mind)levels ofdescription. On the other hand, a system of two coupled partial differential equations is here deduced as the transformation model between the biological and psychological levels. Both models are presented and validated in this paper. The experimental design to va…

Resumen: Introduccion : La informacion periodistica actual aborda mayoritariamente el VIH como una epidemia de caracter global y ha abandonado el discurso de los grupos de riesgo que vinculo al virus con la comunidad gay. En los ultimos anos, el VIH ha sido objeto de atencion mediatica por la judicializacion de la transmision deliberada del virus. Objetivos : Este trabajo analiza la cobertura periodistica en torno a dos hombres europeos juzgados en 2017: el escoces Daryll Rowe, condenado a cadena perpetua por tratar de infectar con VIH a 10 hombres, y el italiano Valentino Talluto, sentenciado por transmitir el virus a 32 mujeres.
