ABSTRACT
The creation of videos in teaching has a high educational potential and is a challenge that can motivate students. There is little evidence on the use of this method when applied to the creation of digital stories. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure student satisfaction with the creation of audiovisual material through digital storytelling, measure its usefulness, and evaluate its impact on their motivation to study the subject. As a secondary objective, we intended to determine the influence of this learning experience on raising awareness of society toward mental illnesses by measuring the impact by the number of views on social networks. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used. The participants were 90 third-year nursing students enrolled in the subject "Psychiatric Nursing". The students created eight themed videos (depression, suicide, anxiety, anorexia, mobile phone addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, drug addiction, schizophrenia). The students were then asked to complete an ad hoc questionnaire on the matter. A total of 90% of the nursing students thought that creating the videos improved the acquisition of nursing knowledge, 91.2% replied that they would like to use the method in other subjects on the degree in nursing syllabus, and 67.8% thought that their clinical skills improved after using narrated digital stories to create videos. Students acknowledged that this training activity helped them feel better prepared and helped them better understand the subject. They believe that this teaching technique is more stimulating and more enjoyable than the conventional system, giving them more motivation to study the subject. Students acknowledge that the experience gained from this initiative has helped them feel better prepared and helped them better understand the subject, and they think that it will be a useful resource in the future as it has improved the process of the creation of audiovisual material through digital storytelling.

Heat stroke, or sun stroke, is defined as an emergency situation characterized by an increase in central body temperature above 40 degrees C and alterations in the central nervous system where encephalopathy predominates and coma is typical. A precocious diagnosis is essential and if the initial opportune measures are not taken, the death rate is very high, up to 70%. Due to climate changes, the number of heat stroke cases has increased since the 2003 heat wave. Although at first symptoms these cases are treated in hospital emergency wards or outpatient wards, when the severity of a person stricken by heat stroke becomes life-threatening or advanced medical care is warranted, patients are placed in Intensive Medical Care Wards. Even though cases of heat stroke are low, its lethalness converts it to a serious life-threatening circumstance due to thermal regulation deterioration, adverse neurological effects, and secondary multi-organ dysfunction.

El golpe de calor se define como una emergencia sanitaria caracterizada por un incremento de la temperatura corporal central por encima de 40 ºC y alteraciones del sistema nervioso central donde predomina la encefalopatía y es típico el coma [1]. Resulta fundamental un diagnóstico precoz y, si no se toman las medidas iniciales oportunas, la tasa de mortalidad es muy alta (hasta el 70%). Con los cambios climáticos su incidencia ha aumentado desde la ola de calor del año 2003 [2-4]. Aunque inicialmente estos casos se atienden en los Servicios de Urgencias Hospitalarios (SUH) o Extrahospi-talarios, cuando la gravedad compromete la vida del paciente o precisan de tratamiento médico avanzado ingresan en los Servicios de Medicina Intensiva (SMI). Aunque la incidencia del golpe de calor es baja, su morbimortalidad se convierte en alta debido al deterioro termorregulador, neurológico, y a la disfunción multiorgánica secundaria(AU)
