Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta : muistoihin kaivertuneet tilat
2022
Suomessa psykiatrinen hoito on ollut pitkään hyvin laitoskeskeistä, ja mielisairaalat ovat kuuluneet monin tavoin suomalaisten elämään. Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta valottaa historian, kulttuurisen mielenterveystutkimuksen ja taiteellisen tutkimuksen keinoin sitä, miten mielisairaalat muistetaan. Millaisia tunteita ja ruumiillisia muistoja liittyy sairaalassa vietettyyn aikaan? Millaisena 1930-luvun potilas koki mielisairaalan, ja miten potilaat kertovat sairaalassa kohtaamastaan pakosta ja väkivallasta? Millainen sairaalakokemus on jättänyt hyvät ja lämpimät muistot? Monitieteinen teos perustuu ainutlaatuiseen muistitietoaineistoon, joka avaa uusia näkökulmia mielisairaaloiden arkeen, histo…

Interregional mobility, socio-economic inequality and mortality among cancer patients
2020
This paper investigates 3-years mortality after discharge in patients residing in Sicily (Italy) diagnosed with cancer among: colon, stomach, liver, and lungs, between 1/1/2010 - 31/12/2011. The effect of mobility and socio-economic status on mortality is evaluated through survival analysis approach. Results shows that out-of-region hospitalization is associated with higher survival time; no association of mortality with socio-economic status appears. The extent of patients’ mobility, and its relation with mortality raises regional policy considerations
“Dealing With Patients’ Mobility Issues: An Inter-Institutional Perspective To Analyze The Phenomenon And To Support Sustainable Policy Making In Sic…
2014
Nowadays many Italian policy makers, both at a national and regional level, are devoting a growing attention to the phenomenon of patients’ movements seeking public healthcare treatments out of the territorial jurisdiction. This paper presents the main features of a research project being carried out to analyze the mobility flows of Sicilian patients towards other Italian Regions in order to support the design of sustainable related policies. Such study adopts an inter-institutional perspective as the design of sustainable mobility-related policies requires a coordination effort of the Regional Healthcare Department, the Local Health Authorities and the Healthcare providers. The main outcom…
Kairós. Un tempo nel mezzo. Percorso multidisciplinare di analisi dell’esperienza di assistenza ai pazienti oncologici terminali
2011
La concezione personalistica cristiana permette una corretta visione antropologi- ca ed etica che fonda le riflessioni delle scienze umane (sociologia, psicologia, pedagogia, scienze della comunicazione) che vogliono analizzare le situazioni in cui versano il paziente oncologico terminale, i suoi familiari e coloro che si occupano dell’attività di assistenza clinico-sanitaria, sociale e volontaria. Se- condo tale concezione, la “persona” è un’unità inscindibile di corpo, psiche e spirito, di sesso maschile e femminile, destinata a una dimensione trascendente e ultraterrena dell’essere. La persona ammalata di cancro, in questa visione, non può essere ridotta a mero agglomerato psicofisico, a…
Total Pain and Illness Acceptance in Pelvic Cancer Patients: Exploring Self-Efficacy and Stress in a Moderated Mediation Model.
2022
Cancer patients experience pain not only in its physical dimension, but also in a broader context that includes psychological, social, and spiritual aspects due to a higher level of anxiety and stress.

The study involved a sample of pelvic cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment. Assessments were completed at T1 (before radiotherapy), T2 (after 3–4 weeks), and T3 (after radiotherapy) to assess the psychosocial dynamics of illness acceptance (N = 267). The m…
Radiation protection of patients undergoing high-dose-rate brachytherapy: peripheral dose estimation, review of radiation risks and implant shielding…
2015
La braquiterapia (BT) es una modalidad de tratamiento de radioterapia en la que se coloca una fuente radiactiva encapsulada cerca, en contacto o en el interior del volumen a tratar. La desintegración de esta fuente produce la emisión de energía, lo que puede dar lugar a la muerte celular. Una dosis absorbida muy elevada (la dosis absorbida se define como la energía absorbida por unidad de masa) se deposita en un corto período de tiempo y en un pequeño número de fracciones. Para poder realizar un tratamiento de BT se requiere que el volumen de tratamiento sea accesible y bien delimitado en tamaño y forma. La BT se utiliza comúnmente como una modalidad de tratamiento eficaz para el cáncer de …
