Materials & methods: Narrative medicine has gradually entered the routine of clinical work, aiming at improving patient–physician relationships and adherence to therapy and reducing direct and indirect health cost. Results: The Local Health Authority of Firenze (Italy) has launched an innovative process for the integration of narrative practices into the health services. This initiative's aim was to spread the culture of narrative-based medicine among health professionals and increase the quality and appropriateness of care (NaMe project). Conclusion: This article describes the experience through which a model of narrative medicine was implemented into the clinical practice

The purposes of the present research were to verify whether a peer-education based disaster medicine training programme addressed to medical students could be effective in improving their knowledge of this topic. Methods: The contents of the " In-hospital disaster response and rescue " training programme refer to three thematic areas concerning medical, technical and psychological/social issues. The topics were chosen with the aim of providing students with both technical and non-technical skills about disaster medicine through a peer-education based course. A " Knowledge Test " and an " Attitude Test " were submitted to the participants, who formed the experimental group, and to a control group composed of medical students who had not attended the course. Pre-and post-test course scores were analysed and compared. Results: One hundred and twenty-five students took part in the course. Forty-four of them were included in the present research and compared to an equivalent control group of students. There was no significant difference either in the Attitude or in the Knowledge pre-test scores obtained by the control group and the experimental group (Attitude: 44.48 vs. 44.07 p40.05 and Knowledge: 8.34 vs. 8.02 p40.05). Post-test scores were lower in the control group than in the experimental group (Attitude: 45.07 vs. 50.16 and Knowledge: 9.40 vs. 20.10) and the comparison between pre-and post-test scores showed a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group (Attitude: 0.59o6.09 p:0.000 and Knowledge: 1.05o12.08 p:0.000). Discussion: The training programme proved its efficacy in improving medical students' knowledge of disaster medicine. Peer-education resulted to be an effective teaching technique in transmitting the contents of the course to the students.

These phenomena have perpetuated myths regarding rape leading to the faulty labeling of the experience by the survivors themselves. Compared with the U.S., in Europe there are very few studies concerning this issue. This preliminary study in Italy comprised surveys of 210 participants who were asked to express their opinions on 2 scenarios of sexual assault (a forced rape and an acquaintance rape). Only 48% of the participants thought that acquaintance rape should be tried in a criminal court.
