ABSTRACT
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are one of the major concerns worldwide, posing significant challenges to healthcare professionals' education and training. This study intended to measure nursing students' perceptions regarding their learning experiences on HAI prevention and control. In the first phase of the study, a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a convenience sample composed of undergraduate nursing students from Portugal, Spain, Poland, and Finland was conducted to develop the InovSafeCare questionnaire. In the second phase, we applied the InovSafeCare scale in a sample of nursing students from two Portuguese higher education institutions to explore which factors impact nursing students' adherence to HAI prevention and control measures in clinical settings. In phase one, the InovSafeCare questionnaire was applied to 1326 students internationally, with the instrument presenting adequate psychometric qualities with reliability results in 14 dimensions. During phase two, the findings supported that Portuguese nursing students' adherence to HAI prevention and control measures is influenced not only by the curricular offerings and resources available in academic settings, but also by the standards conveyed by nursing tutors during clinical placements. Our findings support the need for a dedicated curricular focus on HAI prevention and control learning, not only through specific classroom modules, innovative resources, and pedagogical approaches, but also through a complementary and coordinated liaison between teachers and tutors in academic and clinical settings.
ABSTRACT
En este estudio se analizan las creencias relacionadas con el amor romántico como elemento de influencia en la violencia de género. La investigación se realizó sobre una muestra de 60 participantes, 30 mujeres y 30 hombres, internos del centro penitenciario de Salamanca que en el momento de la entrevista se encontraran participando los hombres en un programa de tratamiento con agresores y las mujeres en un programa de tratamiento de víctimas de violencia de género. Los resultados más significativos indican mayores sesgos cognitivos en caso de los hombres en relación a anteponer necesidades, deseos e intereses propios frente a los de la pareja y a la anticipación del pensamiento necesario en el amor romántico. En el caso de las mujeres destaca la necesidad de celotipia y atracción única hacia la pareja para describir el amor auténtico. Este estudio pone de manifiesto la necesidad de analizar la definición de amor romántico por parte de hombres y mujeres, para detectar las distorsiones cognitivas más relacionadas con la violencia de género

The most remarkable results indicate higher cognitive distortions for men in relation to putt he needs, own wishes and interests against couple's and thought anticipation to be necessary in romantic love, and for women highlight the need of jealousy and unique attraction to their couple to describe genuine love. This study shows the need to analyze the definition of romantic love, by men and women, to detect cognitive distortions more connected to gender-based violence

Este estudio pretende determinar cuáles son las variables y factores que han influido en los drogodependientes que se encuentran realizando un programa de deshabituación de drogas en un centro de tratamiento, además de construir un perfil de consumidor analizando las distintas áreas que componen su vida, es decir, haciendo una distinción entre el área personal y el relacional. En el área personal se tienen en cuenta las características personales y los distintos factores psicológicos explicados desde la posibilidad de sintomatología de los sujetos, que predigan la posibilidad de presentar una patología y los patrones de consumo de drogas, y respecto al área relacional, ésta engloba los factores de influencia de las relaciones establecidas por los sujetos en su entorno y la carrera delictiva, mediante el estudio de la variabilidad y la especialización de ésta
