Validation in Spanish and English of the Transgender Inclusive Behavior Scale.

The Transgender Inclusive Behavior Scale (TIBS) seeks to measure transgender-inclusive behavior, specifically actions and language use that support transgender people. The TIBS was developed in the United States. This study aimed to develop a Spanish version of the TIBS and confirm the structure of the English version to explore the psychometric properties and evaluate the construct validity in new contexts. We examined predictors of transgender-inclusive behavior by conducting a comparative analysis between participants from Spain and the United Kingdom. The study involved 1,110 university students, with 545 participants hailing from Spain (375 women, 162 men, and 8 non-binary individuals) and 565 participants from the United Kingdom (368 women, 178 men, and 19 non-binary individuals). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to investigate and validate the factorial structure of the TIBS. The factor analysis results for the 15 items on the scale confirmed a three-dimensional structure in both languages. The scale score reliability was excellent with a Cronbach's alpha (α) = .95 in the British sample and with an α = .89 in the Spanish sample. Being a woman, being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and/or asexual, and being non-religious were the strongest predictors of inclusive behaviors towards transgender people in both countries. The correlations found indicated that people with lower sexual risk behaviors, and lower sexist, homophobic, and transphobic attitudes also presented higher inclusive behaviors towards trans people. These findings support the development of community strategies to increase the social inclusion of transgender people. The TIBS is a useful measure to track their success.

School Nursing Practice in Education Settings in Spain.

School nurses and pediatric nurses play vital roles in providing healthcare for children and adolescents in educational and healthcare settings. School nurses operate within educational institutions, serving as caregivers and facilitating communication between the school, families, and the healthcare system. These professionals closely collaborate with pediatric nurses. The primary objective of this study was to examine the state of school nursing in Spain. The research comprised 27 nurses, including 18 school nurses and 9 pediatric nurses, chosen through theoretical sampling. These nurses participated in in-depth interviews as part of the data collection process. Grounded theory, following Charmaz's process, was employed for data analysis. The findings underscore the nurses' call for their mandated presence and regulation in all Spanish educational institutions to address contemporary health challenges and ensure inclusive education.

Validación de una escala enfermera para evaluar las actitudes del profesorado en la atención diabética / Validation of a nursing scale for assessing teachers' attitudes to diabetes care

Objetivo: Validar el Inventario de Actitudes Negativas del Profesorado hacia la Atención del Alumnado con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 (INAPAD) y estudiar su fiabilidad mediante los coeficientes Alfa de Cronbach y Omega de McDonald. Material y método: Este estudio describe el proceso de diseño y validación de la escala enfermera INAPAD en una muestra de 382 docentes en las etapas de Educación Infantil, Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, Bachillerato y Formación Profesional en una provincia española.

Diferentes actitudes hacia la sexualidad entre estudiantes de Enfermería de primero y cuarto curso / Sexuality education: Different attitudes among incoming and outgoing Nursing undergraduates

Objective: To evaluate whether attitudes towards sexuality acquired by students during a Spanish nursing degree are sufficient for their performance in professional practice.Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study based on a self-completion survey composed of standardized scales that compare sexual attitudes among 101 first-year students with 86 fourth-year students. The 187 nursing students, 24 men and 163 women were between 18 and 60 years old (M age=21.21, SD=5.48). The evaluative instrument was an anonymous questionnaire that consisted of sociodemographic questions and two standardized scales: Attitudes Towards Sexuality Scale (ATSS-28) and Double Standard Scale (DSS).Results: Comparison between cohorts using the Mann-Whitney U test proved to be close to being significant in the ATSS, U=3625.50, z=-1.95, p=.052 and significant in DSS, U=3560.50, z=-2.13, p=.034. These findings indicate that fourth-year students have more positive attitudes towards sexuality and less rigid adherence to gender roles. In addition, a medium negative correlation, r s =-.307, p=.001, between ATSS and DSS was obtained, showing a positive association between attitudes and less adherence to gender roles. These results suggest that nursing degree training had a positive impact on sexual attitudes.Conclusion: Healthcare professionals are centrally involved in the care of patients and families. Nurses' attitudes towards sexuality are important in terms of patient comfort and the accessibility and acceptability of care. Implementation of training in sexuality has a positive effect on nursing care and favours the establishment of global health strategies (AU)

Además, se obtuvo una correlación negativa moderada, r s =-. 307, p=.001, entre la ATSS y la DSS que mostraba asociación entre las actitudes positivas y la menor adhesión a roles de género. Estos resultados sugieren que la formación enfermera tuvo un impacto positivo en sus actitudes.Conclusión: La enfermería está involucrada de manera central en el cuidado de los pacientes y sus familias. Sus actitudes hacia la sexualidad son importantes en términos de comodidad del paciente, accesibilidad y aceptabilidad de su atención (AU)

Teachers and Parents' Perceptions of Care for Students with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Their Needs in the School Setting.

The high incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) increases the likelihood of teachers having students with this illness in their classrooms. The objective of this study is to investigate the needs of students with DM1 during the school day from the perspective of both teachers and parents. A mixed methods study was designed and a questionnaire was administered to practicing teachers in Pre-primary Education, Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education, and Further Education, as well as Vocational Education within both the province and the city of Burgos (Castile and Leon, Spain) who may have students with DM1. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with mothers and fathers, members of the Burgos Diabetics Association (ASDIBUR). In the questionnaires administered to the teaching staff, 54.8% affirmed that they knew of students with DM1 at their centers. Of those questioned, 51.2% affirmed that they knew of the existence of action protocols on DM, and 45.2% declared that they had received specialized information on the illness; 92.8% believed that there was no discrimination at their center towards students with DM, and 82.8% thought that the educational center raised no objections to students with DM departing on trips during the school year. In their interviews, both family and teachers assessed the material and human resources as insufficient and called for the presence of school nurses at the educational centers. It is important to raise the awareness of the educational community about the needs of students with DM1 and to provide guidelines on emergency situations to teachers and staff at the centers.

The Impact of the Coordination between Healthcare and Educational Personnel on the Health and Inclusion of Children and Adolescents with Rare Diseases.

Rare diseases produce multiple impacts for the people who suffer from them, but they also have repercussions for their families, education and healthcare. The objective of this study is to analyze the coordination between healthcare and education professionals who intervene with children and adolescents with rare diseases. It is a qualitative study designed with a critical paradigm, and it was carried out through focus group discussions. A total of 50 people participated in the study, including healthcare professionals, teachers and families. The results suggest that poor communication and coordination negatively impact minors with rare diseases, placing an extra burden on their families, who take on an intermediary role in communication. Participants in the study recognized coordination as an area for improvement as it can compromise equitable social and health services and inclusive education. Other measures must also be put into action at the public administration level not only to establish protocols for intersectoral coordination, but also to increase the knowledge and awareness of staff involved in health and education interventions for children with rare diseases.

Comunicación intra-familiar y cáncer de mama / Intra-family communication and breast cancer

Introducción: El cáncer de mama es el tumor maligno que más afecta a la mujer. Un diagnóstico que incluye la palabra cáncer de por sí contiene una connotación negativa. Esta enfermedad impacta en la dinámica familiar, siendo la comunicación una de las dimensiones que con frecuencia se estudian en la intervención con familias. Objetivo: El objetivo de la investigación que se presenta es analizar la comunicación que se genera a partir del diagnóstico de cáncer de mama entre una madre y sus hijos, marido o pareja. Método: Se emplea un diseño de investigación con métodos mixtos. La muestra está compuesta por doce mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, con edades comprendidas entre los 43 y 55 años. Los instrumentos utilizados son la escala de comunicación familiar (FCS), y una entrevista semiestructurada. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la comunicación intrafamiliar varía según la edad de los hijos, siendo ésta más baja cuando son menores de 15 años. Conclusiones: Una comunicación efectiva en la familia no es la cura de ninguna enfermedad, pero sí mejora la manera en que la familia en su conjunto se enfrenta a ésta y contribuye a la eliminación de situaciones de estrés y malestar en la mujer (AU)

Introduction: Breast cancer is the malignant tumour which affects more women. A diagnosis that includes the word 'cancer' has a negative connotation. This disease impacts on the family dynamics, and communication is one of the dimensions which are frequently studied in the intervention with families. Objective: The aim of this research is to analyse the communication between a mother and her children, husband or partner, developed after a breast cancer diagnosis. Method: A mixed method research design was used. The sample was composed of twelve women diagnosed with breast cancer, aged between 43 and 55. The instruments used in this study were the Family Communication Scale (FCS) and a semi-structured interview. Results: The outcomes show that intra-family communication varies according to the age of the children, being lower when they are under 15 years old. Conclusions: Effective communication in the family is not the cure for any disease, but it improves the way the family as a whole deals with it and it contributes to eliminate stress situations and discomfort in the woman (AU)

Los nuevos tipos de familias en el sistema sanitario / The new family types in the health system

Los cambios producidos en las familias españolas tienen una importancia decisiva en la planificación de los servicios sanitarios, en la evolución de sus demandas y en las relaciones con el personal sanitario. Se describen las características de las nuevas estructuras familiares (monoparentales, homoparentales, tardías, con embarazos múltiples, reconstituidas, adoptivas y que recurren a las técnicas de reproducción asistida), cuáles son sus preocupaciones, necesidades y demandas, y las repercusiones en el sistema sanitario (AU)

Changes in the Spanish families are critical in the planning of health services, in the evolution of their demands, and in their relationships with healthcare staff. We describe the characteristics of the new family structures (single-parent families, LGBT families, older families, multiple birth families, stepfamilies, adoptive families and families that resort to assisted reproductive techniques), what are their concerns, their needs and their requirements, and what are the implications for the health system (AU)

Interpersonal variability of the experience of falling in love

This paper presents a study describing different psychological constructs that modulate the intensity and individual variability of amorous passion. The intensity and duration of romantic love -measured using Hatfield’s Passionate Love Scale- are associated with different psychological variables: attachment styles, personality traits, impulsivity, anxiety and attitudes toward the myths of romantic love. 503 College students participated in the study. The research fits into a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional methodology. The results show that college teens prone to anxious attachment adhere more to the romantic prototype as they obtain significant higher scores on intensity of falling in love and on accepting attitudes of the myths of romantic love. An opposite pattern was observed in people prone to avoidant attachment. The extraversion personality trait relates differently to amorousness in men and women. We also discuss the possible interpretations of the differences between men and women on different variables (AU)
