Envejecer en una residencia de ancianos en España: una revisión integradora / Ageing in a nursing home in Spain: an integrative review

Objetivos: España presenta uno de los índices más elevados de envejecimiento mundial. La mayor longevidad de las personas está asociada a una mayor probabilidad de precisar algún tipo de cuidado continuo y específico para realizar los autocuidados básicos de la vida en el día a día y, con ello, el ingreso en una residencia de ancianos. El objetivo general es conocer las características de los centros residenciales de mayores de España. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión integradora entre mayo y junio de 2022 en las diferentes bases de datos: CINAHL, PubMed, WOS, Science Direct y Dialnet. Se analizaron también las páginas web del Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales y de la Organización Iberoamericana de Seguridad Social. Resultados: Los centros residenciales son equipamientos sociales que proporcionan alojamiento y atención especializada, de manera temporal o permanente, a las personas mayores que por su situación económica, familiar y social, así como por sus limitaciones de autonomía personal, no pueden ser cuidadas en su domicilio. En España hay un total de 5.529 centros residenciales, con 389.677 plazas en total. Conclusiones: Las residencias de ancianos disponen de una red de servicios comprendida por los cuidados de enfermería y médicos habituales, los cuidados paliativos, la ayuda a la familia y los servicios comunitarios y de alojamiento, que aseguran la continuidad de cuidados (AU)

Objectives: Spain has one of the highest rates of ageing in the world.The greater longevity of people is associated with a greater probability of needing some type of continuous and specific care to carry out the basic self-care of life on a daily basis, and with this, admission to a nursing home. The general objective is to find out the characteristics of residential care homes for the elderly in Spain. Methodology: An integrative review was carried out between May and June 2022 in the different databases: CINAHL, PubMed, WOS, Science Direct and Dialnet. The websites of the Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales and the Organización Iberoamericana de Seguridad Social were also analysed. Results: Residential centers are social facilities that provide accommodation and specialized care, on a temporary or permanent basis, to those elderly people who, due to their economic, family and social situation, as well as their limited personal autonomy, cannot be cared for at home. In Spain, there are a total of 5,529 residential centres with 389,677 places in total. Conclusions: Nursing homes for the elderly have a network of services, comprising standard nursing and medical care, palliative care, family support and community and accommodation services, which ensure continuity of care (AU)

Attitudes Toward Organ Donation: Differences Between Medical and Nursing Andalusian Students.

INTRODUCTION: A favorable attitude toward organ donation and transplantation (ODT) is fundamental among health professionals at the time of transplant promotion. In this sense, the training and awareness of professionals are fundamental. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the differences in the attitude toward ODT and the factors that condition it among Andalusian medical and nursing students. METHODS AND DESIGN: The study is a sociologic, multicenter, observational study. The population includes medical and nursing students in Andalusian universities. Database of the Collaborative International Donor Project is used and data are stratified by geographic area and academic course. The instrument of measurement was a validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO-RIOS) that was handed out to every student in a compulsory session. Completion of the questionnaire was anonymous and self-administered. The sample included Andalusian medical and nursing students (99% confidence and precision of ±1%) stratified by geographic area and year of study. RESULTS: There was a completion rate of 91%; 79% (n = 2879) of Andalusian students were in favor of donation and 21% were not in favor. The attitude toward ODT is more favorable in medical compared with nursing students (80% vs 77%; P = .021). The psychosocial profile toward donation is similar in both groups relating to the following variables (P < .05): knowing a transplant patient, having received information about the subject, attitude toward family donation, and having discussed transplantation with family and friends. CONCLUSION: Andalusian medical students favored organ donation more than Andalusian nursing students, and the favorable attitude is associated with having an awareness of the subject.

¿Quién es el receptor de intervenciones sociosanitarias y cuáles son sus necesidades? / Who is the user of socio-health interventions and what are their needs?

Las intervenciones sociosanitarias incluyen las actuaciones y cuidados destinados a atender las necesidades de las personas que a causa de su edad, enfermedad o discapacidad, han sufrido merma en su autonomía personal. Orientadas hacia el logro de una mejora en la calidad de vida de las personas en esa situación, tratan de atender a las personas de una forma integral. Intervenir en esas situaciones supone ofrecer las ayudas técnicas, los cambios ambientales, de costumbres y sociales así como el cuidado personal necesarios para mejorar su calidad de vida y potenciar sus capacidades y bienestar. Los avances científicos y cambios demográficos y sociales han condicionado una modificación en el perfil de los receptores de intervenciones sociosanitarias, destacando la longevidad, la cronicidad de los procesos y el envejecimiento del cuidador informal. El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar a la persona que recibe las intervenciones sociosanitarias y reflexionar sobre cuáles son sus necesidades. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de estudios biomédicos mediante búsquedas bibliográficas en ScienceDirect así como documentación institucional nacional relativas a personas en situación de dependencia y sus cuidadores familiares. Las personas que precisan ayuda sociosanitaria constituyen una población heterogénea en cuanto a sus necesidades. Tanto la persona con discapacidad como su cuidador informal precisan ser consideradas objeto de interés y atención

Socio-health interventions include performance and care intended to attend to the needs of people who have suffered a decrease in their personal autonomy because of their age, illness or disability. Oriented towards achieving an improvement in the quality of life of people in that situation, they try to meet the requirements of people in an integrated way. To intervene in those situations involves providing technical aids and environmental, custom and social changes as well as personal care needed to improve their quality of life and enhance their skills and well-being. Scientific advances and demographic and social changes have determined a change in the profile of socio-health interventions’ receivers, highlighting longevity, chronicity of processes and aging of the informal caregiver. The aim of this work is to characterize the person receiving the social-health interventions and to reflect on what their needs are. To do this we have conducted a biomedical studies’ review through literature searches at ScienceDirect as well as a review of national institutional documentation related to people in dependent situations and their family caregivers. People who need socio-health help establish a heterogeneous population in respect of their needs. Both the person with disabilities and their informal caregiver need to be considered as an object of interest and attention

Inteligencia emocional y relaciones interpersonales en los estudiantes de enfermería / Emotional intelligence and interpersonal relationship among nursing students

Los estudiantes de enfermería necesitan ser capaces de establecer relaciones interpersonales adecuadas porque son importantes en su aprendizaje y forman parte de las competencias necesarias para ejercer la enfermería con éxito. La inteligencia emocional (IE) se ha presentado como una característica que facilita las relaciones interpersonales, debido a que permite ser consciente de las emociones, comprenderlas, manejarlas en uno mismo y en otros, y utilizarlas para razonar mejor. Entendida como un rasgo de personalidad o como una capacidad cognitiva, se presume componente crucial del ejercicio de la enfermería y del aprendizaje, pues podría facilitar el desempeño en todas aquellas facetas de la actividad donde haya situaciones cargadas de información emocional. Para actuar y ajustar su conducta, además de contar con las capacidades oportunas, el estudiante debe querer hacerlo. En este trabajo se analizan las relaciones comentadas y los hallazgos más significativos obtenidos en la investigación respecto a estas, ofreciendo evidencias y sugiriendo estrategias para su desarrollo

Nursing students need to be able to establish adequate interpersonal relationships because they are important in their learning and are part of the competencies required to practice Nursing successfully. Emotional intelligence (EI henceforth) has been presented as a feature that facilitates interpersonal relationships, due to the fact that it lets be aware of emotions, understand them, manage them in oneself and in others, and use them to reason better. Understood as a personality trait or as a cognitive ability, it is presumed to be a crucial component of the practice of Nursing and of learning, it could facilitate the performance in at all levels of the activity where there are situations fraught with emotional information. To act and adjust their behavior, in addition to taking in account the convenient skills, the student should want to do it. This paper analyzes the relationships discussed and the most significant findings in the research with respect thereto, providing evidence and suggesting strategies for its development

Validity of the Spanish version of the Emotional Labour Scale.

In this article we address concerns raised by Brumit and Glenn (2013) regarding the validity of the Spanish version of the Emotional Labour Scale (ELS). We respond to requests in relation to the translated version of the scale and the eigenvalue series. We also give an explanation of the differences in results between the original version and the Spanish version of the scale.

The Spanish version of the Emotional Labour Scale (ELS): a validation study.

AIM: To validate the Spanish version of the Emotional Labour Scale (ELS), an instrument widely used to understand how professionals working with people face emotional labor in their daily job. METHOD: An observational, cross-sectional and multicenter survey was used. Nursing students and their clinical tutors (n=211) completed the self-reported ELS when the clinical practice period was over. First order and second order Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) were estimated in order to test the factor structure of the scale. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the CFA confirm a factor structure of the scale with six first order factors (duration, frequency, intensity, variety, surface acting and deep acting) and two larger second order factors named Demands (duration, frequency, intensity and variety) and Acting (surface acting and deep acting) establishing the validity of the Spanish version of the ELS.

[Nursing role versus European role. The difficult bridge between teaching and health assistance in the new Europe]. / Espacio enfermero vs. espacio Europeo. El difícil puente entre la docencia y la asistencia en la nueva Europa.

The goal is to achieve that the maximum possible number of nurses arrive at the deep conviction that practice without theory is only routine and that theory without practice which justifies it is empty erudition. Therefore, the objective of this article is to reflect about the excessively frequent incoherence between that which is taught in schools and the practice which is carried out by the great number of nurses in our country.

Espacio enfermero vs espacio europeo. El difícil puente entre la docencia y la asistencia en la nueva Europa / Nursing role versus European role. The difficult bridge between teaching and health assistance in the new Europe

Se trata de conseguir que el máximo número posible de enfermeras lleguen al convencimiento profundo de que la práctica sin teoría es sólo rutina y de que la teoría sin práctica que la justifique es vacía erudición. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la excesivamente frecuente incoherencia entre lo que se enseña en las Escuelas y la práctica que realiza un gran número de enfermeras y enfermeros en nuestro país (AU)
