Satisfaction and use of the didactic simulator for learning the nursing process: an observational study.

INTRODUCTION: The implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in daily healthcare practice has become standardized. In relation to education within the nursing degree, ICTs make it possible to carry out practical immersion training from the" classroom or from any other place with an Internet connection, as evidenced by circumstances that have occurred in recent years, such as the pandemic caused by COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: Design and assess a didactic simulation program for the training of the nursing process that promotes learning in the nursing care METHODOLOGY: The methodological approach is quantitative and it is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sampling method used was non-probabilistic by convenience. RESULTS: When observing the comparison of the averages of student satisfaction with respect to the didactic simulator, it is worth mentioning that all the items are above 2.80 on a score in which "0" is the minimum value and "5" the maximum value. The results of the use of the computer tool by the students, we highlight as significant data that all the items present an average equal to or lower than 3.04 out of 7, where "1" corresponds to a lot of use and "7" to little use. CONCLUSION: The implication of ICT in the teaching-learning process among Nursing Degree students, it is considered optimal. when analyzing the answers obtained in the items that refer to a higher ease in the execution of development of Care plans, a fundamental work in Nursing performance.

Factors influencing witnesses' perception of patient safety during pre-hospital health care from emergency medical services: A multi-center cross-sectional study.

AIM: To determine the factors related with the perception of feeling safe during pre-hospital emergency care. METHODS: A multi-centred, cross-sectional study. Data collection from April 2021 to March 2022, in the Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias 061 (Andalusia, Spain). INCLUSION CRITERIA: witnesses of health care by emergency medical services. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: minors, or communication barriers. OUTCOME VARIABLE: Witness Perceived Safety Scale ESPT10. The variables studied were related with sociodemographic data, the request for health care, the patient, the hospital transfer and patient safety incidents. A multivariate linear regression model was constructed for the dependent variable. The study followed STROBE statement. RESULTS: Responses were obtained from 1400 witnesses. The linear regression model showed that the score on the scale increased as the witnesses felt more satisfied (B = 1.302; p < 0.001). On the contrary, the score was lower when the witness reported a patient safety incident (B = -2.856; p < 0.001 and B = -3.166; p < 0.001), or when the assistance took place in a public space (B = -0.722; p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS: The level of satisfaction, the occurrence of a patient safety incident, and the place of health care are related factors with the perception of the witnesses. The Witness Perceived Safety Scale ESPT10 could be considered a valid and useful patient safety indicator.

Factors related to patients' perception of feeling safe in pre-hospital emergencies: a multicenter cross-sectional study. / Factores relacionados con la percepción de los pacientes de sentirse seguros en emergencias extrahospitalarias: estudio transversal multicéntrico.

OBJECTIVES: To identify factors related to patients' feeling of safety during prehospital emergencies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive, multicenter cross-sectional study in the context of "061" emergency response services of Andalusia, Spain. Data were collected from April 2021 to March 2022. Patients attended and transported by emergency responders were eligible for inclusion. Patients were excluded if they were minors or in an altered state of consciousness, or had cognitive impairment or any barrier to communication. We calculated that a minimum sample size of 644 patients would be required. The outcome variable was the score on a 16-item scale of patient-perceived safety (ESP16, as abbreviated in Spanish). Sociodemographic, emergency service response, patient, and hospital transfer variables were studied in relation to ESP16 score. We also collected patient safety incident reports. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze associations between the independent variables and the dependent outcome variable. Guidelines for Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) were followed. RESULTS: We received 1756 responses. The mean (SD) ESP16 score was 77.7 (5.6); the median score was 80. The ßô€€ƒ coefficients derived from the linear regression model were as follows for the variables associated with the ESP16 score: 2.799 (P .001) for satisfaction; -6.097 (P .001) for incident reports of errors, falls, harm, or injury; -2.742 (P .001) for reports of any other incident during attendance; 2.538 (P = .001) for use of the transport protocol; 1.157 (P .001) for type of emergency transport used; 0.726 (P = .014) for a cardiology diagnosis; and 1.195 (P = .003) for pain intensity. CONCLUSION: Patients' perception of safety is very high, as reflected by level of satisfaction, incident reports, use of a transport protocol, means of transport used, diagnosis, and pain level.

OBJETIVO: Conocer los factores que se relacionan con la percepción de los pacientes de sentirse seguros en emergencias extrahospitalarias. METODO: Estudio observacional descriptivo, transversal, multicéntrico, en los equipos de emergencias 061 de Andalucía. Se recogieron los datos desde abril 2021 hasta marzo 2022. Criterios de inclusión fueron pacientes asistidos y trasladados por equipos de emergencias, y los criterios de exclusión fueron menores de edad, deterioro cognitivo, alteración de consciencia, o barreras comunicativas. Se calculó un tamaño muestral mínimo de 644 sujetos. La variable resultado fue la puntuación de la Escala de Seguridad Percibida (ESP16). Se estudiaron variables sociodemográficas y relacionadas con la demanda asistencial, el paciente y el traslado. Además, se recogieron notificaciones de incidentes relacionados con la seguridad del paciente (IRSP). Se construyó un modelo de regresión lineal multivariable para la variable dependiente. Se siguieron las recomendaciones STROBE. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvieron 1.756 respuestas. La puntuación media en la ESP16 fue 77,7 (DE 5,6), con mediana de 80. El modelo de regresión lineal mostró que el nivel de satisfacción (B = 2,799; p 0,001), la notificación de error, caída, daño o lesión (B = ­6,097; p 0,001), la notificación de cualquier otro IRSP (B = ­2,742; p 0,001), la transferencia protocolizada (B = 2,538; p = 0,001), el tipo de recurso asistencial (B = 1,157; p 0,001), un diagnóstico final cardiológico (B = 0,726; p = 0,014) y un nivel de dolor intenso (B = 1,195; p = 0,003) influían en la escala ESP16. CONCLUSIONES: La percepción de seguridad del paciente es muy alta, y está condicionada por el nivel de satisfacción, la notificación de IRSP, la transferencia protocolizada, el recurso asistencial, el diagnóstico final y el nivel de dolor.

Knowledge, Use and Attitude of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Graduate Nursing Students: A Correlational Cross-Sectional Study.

Education in the XXI century is called to move forward in the right direction and to gain momentum to face diverse challenges and take opportunities offered by the knowledge that is inherent in society. Therefore, it can be postulated that there must be a close relationship between learning, the generation of knowledge, continuous innovation and the use of new technologies. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted among a sample of 242 first year and second year Cadiz University nursing students, using the validated Learning and Study Strategies Inventory questionnaire to assess motivation and the Relationship between Learning Styles and Information and Communication Technologies questionnaire to assess knowledge, use and attitude. The predominant profile type of nursing degree students was women under 21 years old, who were single and exclusively dedicated to their studies. In addition, they showed positive motivation in relation to learning while facing adversity (between 76% and 76.6%). Regarding the level of knowledge, use and attitude towards ICTs, most of the considered items presented high values. For some questions, age was proven to be a sociodemographic variable that influenced both the motivation and attitude of the students. The level of knowledge, use and attitude that students have regarding ICTs are good when we refer to communication technologies, interpersonal relationships or basic programs. However, they are low when considering programs related to education or learning.

Evaluating satisfaction with teaching innovation, its relationship to academic performance and the application of a video-based microlearning.

AIM: To develop and validate a questionnaire to assess satisfaction with teaching innovation, assess the student satisfaction with a video-based microlearning intervention in its video-based modality and to verify its impact on academic performance. DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The study used the COSMIN checklist for studies on measurement instruments. METHODS: One hundred and ten nursing students from Salus Infirmorum University Centre (Andalusia, Spain) participated in the study. The items of the instrument were designed based on a literature review and its validity and stability were analysed. After that, 6 weeks of video-based microlearning intervention were implemented. Then students were asked to fill the satisfaction questionnaire and then took the subject exam. RESULTS: The resulting questionnaire consisted of 5 items with only one dimension. The questionnaire showed good validity and reliability. A direct correlation was observed between satisfaction with the video-based microlearning intervention and the marks of the subject exam.

Empathy, Burnout, and Attitudes towards Mental Illness among Spanish Mental Health Nurses.

Mental health nurses, together with psychiatrists, are the healthcare professionals who display the highest levels of empathy and the best attitudes towards patients with mental disorders. However, burnout is a common problem among these professionals. The aim of our study is to describe the association between empathy, burnout, and attitudes towards patients with mental disorders among mental health nurses in Spain. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used involving a sample of 750 specialist nurses working in mental health facilities in Spain. An intentional, non-probability, non-discriminative, exponential snowball sampling method was used. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Community Attitudes towards Mental Illness Inventory were used to measure the study variables. A positive correlation was observed between empathy and all the study variables, with the exception of the personal accomplishment dimension of burnout and the social restrictiveness and authoritarianism dimensions of attitudes towards mental illness, where a negative relation was observed. Our findings suggest that empathy is associated with an increase in positive attitudes towards patients with mental disorders, decreasing associated stigma, but did not act as a protective factor against burnout in the study sample.

Development and Validation of a Safety Scale Perceived by the Witness of Prehospital Emergency Care.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to design and validate a new tool to measure the security perceived by witnesses of patient care and hospital transfers, after requesting urgent assistance via the "061" phone number. METHODS: This is a descriptive observational, cross-sectional, design, and validation study of a scale conducted by telephone interview. Witnesses of urgent assistance and transfers by prehospital emergency medical services in the province of Cadiz, in the south of Spain, were the subjects of study. A questionnaire was designed after focus groups with patients, witnesses, and professionals. It consisted of 10 items, with Likert-type answers, and a range of 0 to 50 points. In addition to basic criteria (frequency of endorsement and ability to discriminate between groups), their validity (content and construct) and reliability (stability and homogeneity) were evaluated. Stability was evaluated by test-retest and homogeneity by means of two properties: internal consistency of items (corrected item-scale correlation coefficient) and internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach α coefficient). RESULTS: A total of 849 questionnaires were obtained, with scores between 0 and 50 points, with an average of 47.31 (median of 50). The exploratory factor analysis detected a component that explained 61.1% of the total variance. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.933 with 95% confidence interval between 0.900 and 0.954. The corrected item-scale correlation coefficient was greater than 0.596, and the Cronbach α coefficient was 0.927 (95% confidence interval, 0.919-0.934). CONCLUSIONS: The ESPT10 Witness Perceived Safety Scale is valid and reliable for quantifying the safety perception of witnesses of emergency assistance and transfers.
