Topic Information

Dear Colleagues

In recent years, health systems have encountered several challenges and, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, have had to undertake a process of restructuring to enhance cooperation across all levels of healthcare. This is a worldwide problem that impacts all nations—irrespective of the nature of funding, whether it is public or private—that are committed to healthcare.

This topic aims to examine various international instances of care integration, both horizontally (between healthcare units of similar care levels or different departments within a hospital) and vertically (between health units operating at different care levels), with a focus on outcomes related to access, efficiency, productivity, and the quality of health outcomes, as well as user and/or professional satisfaction.

The topic “Integrated Health Services across Different Levels: Worldwide Experiences” provides a platform to publish all reviews and original research papers. Please join us in creating a diverse collection of articles for a variety of topics. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Sexual violence (SV) can deeply impact victims’ physical and psychosocial well-being. Yet many healthcare providers, including registered nurses (RNs), hesitate to screen patients due to a lack of confidence and knowledge. The SATELLITE Sexual Violence Assessment and Care Guide was developed to address this gap; however, the guide’s educational effectiveness remained untested. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of an education program based on the SATELLITE guide among RNs in clinical settings (n = 8), using a pre- and post-test design. Results indicated that the education was not only feasible and acceptable, but also demonstrated the effects as desired with significant increases in RNs’ knowledge and confidence in SV screening and care. The program’s assessment tool was reliable, and participant recruitment was feasible. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the SATELLITE education program be further tested with a larger RN sample and extended to other healthcare providers. Additionally, exploring SATELLITE’s use in different regions, cultural contexts, and healthcare settings would enhance understanding of the program’s broader applicability and effectiveness.
