Summary
This study mapped Italian nursing knowledge from patient and family experiences to inform theory development. Findings provide a foundation for context-specific nursing theories in Italy.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Healthcare Research
Background:
- Italian nursing theory development is underdeveloped compared to international standards.
- Context-specific cultural and professional aspects are crucial for Italian nursing theory.
- Mapping existing knowledge is essential for developing robust nursing theories in Italy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map current knowledge of nursing in Italy.
- To base theory development on the experiences of patients, families, and communities.
- To provide a foundation for developing Italian nursing theories.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review methodology was employed for knowledge mapping.
- Fawcett's nursing metaparadigm was used to structure the literature analysis.
Main Results:
- Twenty-two studies across various care settings (acute, chronic, emergency, home care) were analyzed.
- Themes were identified aligned with the nursing metaparadigm.
- The study offers a starting point for Italian nursing theory development grounded in the local context.
Conclusions:
- Developing strong, practice-adaptable nursing theories requires comprehensive analysis of all stakeholder perspectives.
- Understanding diverse viewpoints is key to advancing nursing theory and practice.

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

1.9K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
