Los últimos datos sobre el escaso uso de las bibliotecas españolas cuestionan la utilidad de este servicio en la cotidianidad ciudadana.

Este trabajo se centra en las implicaciones que para este propósito tienen las últimas investigaciones españolas sobre usuarios de la información. Primero, los datos revelan la escasa participación de los profesionales en estas investigaciones. Segundo, abundan aquellas que se centran en la evaluación de unidades de información, pero escasean las dirigidas a obtener d…

Does being involved by doctors satisfy patients' fundamental psychological needs? A study on a large European sample
2022
The present work was aimed at investigating whether the patients’ involvement by their healthcare providers may satisfy patients’ fundamental psychological needs (i.e. self-esteem, belonging, control, meaningful existence), which in turn, can impact their psychological well-being.

From nurse-centered health counseling to empowermental health counseling.
2001
The main goals of this study were to examine aspects of the delivery and reception of advice and questions in interaction between nurses and patients and to describe linguistic features that constructed nurse-centered and empowermental health counseling. The research data, 38 health counseling sessions, were videotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed by using an adaptation of conversational analysis. During nurse-centered discussions, the nurses' advice did not correspond to the patients' need for information.

2021
Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary invasive cancer of the liver. During the last decade, the epidemiology of HCC has been continuously changing in developed countries, due to more effective primary prevention and to successful treatment of virus-related liver diseases. The study aims to examine survival by level of access to care in patients with HCC, for all patients combined and by age. Methods We included 2018 adult patients (15–99 years) diagnosed with a primary liver tumour, registered in the Palermo Province Cancer Registry during 2006–2015, and followed-up to 30 October 2019.

A translational approach to design effective intervention tools for informal caregivers of dependent cancer patients.
2019
OBJECTIVES: Caregivers of terminal patients often report a higher prevalence of unmet needs than cancer survivors. However, very few interventions have been carried out to support caregivers of patients in advanced stages, and, in most cases, they have not been rigorously designed and evaluated. The ultimate aim of this research was to obtain specific information about the sociodemographic characteristics, the different types of care provided, the symptoms due to burdens, the impact of caring on the quality of life, and the unmet needs of informal caregivers of dependent patients with cancer. This is to design effective intervention programs that can be implemented from the hospital setting…
