Il ruolo dell'infermiere tra vecchie e nuove criticità e possibili soluzioni: l'infermiere di Famiglia e Comunità, prospettive e potenzialità

[IT]
L'indagine svolta ha coinvolto in varia misura praticamente tutto il territorio nazionale. Pur avendo avuto un buon, riscontro, non è quello atteso, considerando il coinvolgimento degli Ordini professionali e dei gruppi interpellati. L'indagine ha incentrato l'attenzione sulla nuova figura dell'Infermiere di Famiglia/Comunità, nata con la L. 77/2020 in linea con gli orientamenti europei sulla gestione delle cronicità e fragilità e di cui il documento della Conferenza Stato-Regioni del 10/9/2020 ne ha definito ruoli e compiti.

Background: The new figure of the Family and Community Nurse (IF / C) will be a fundamental resource to ensure the best management of patients in the area and adequately qualify the new territorial medicine.
Objectives: The aim of the performed study is to investigate the level of knowledge of the medical and nursing staff regarding the figure of the IF / C, its potential and related criticalities.
Materials and Methods: A multiple choice questionnaire was administered to the nursing and medical staff involving professional associations and also through social groups. The results of the answers were re-elaborated using “Google Moduli” and subsequently inserted in a Microsoft Excel file to obtain explanatory graphics.
Results: Nurses and Physicians from 19 Italian regions responded to the survey, albeit with heterogeneous numbers in terms of representativeness. The results show a good level of knowledge of the IF/C figure, his skills and professional potential, while the emerging need for the new figure is to have greater organizational and managerial autonomy.
Discussion and Conclusions: The figure of the IF/C emerges as a strategic professional element to ensure the territorial management of health issues in a multidisciplinary perspective and integration with other health and social-health figures essential for an overall management of patients.
