'Learning by doing', a model for improving the promotion of healthy lifestyles by student nurses.

BACKGROUND: 'Learning by doing' is a learning model based on performing actions and gaining experience. The 'nursing process' is a systematic, rational method for providing nursing care. During their university education, nursing students need to acquire the ability to promote healthy lifestyles. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of a learning strategy based on learning by doing and grounded in the use of the nursing process, on the lifestyle of nursing students. METHODS: This quasi-experimental intervention (before-after), performed over 2011-2022, involved 2300 nursing students at a university nursing school in Spain. The risk factors for chronic diseases-being a smoker, being overweight, or having high blood pressure-to which each student was exposed were recorded. Those positive for at least one risk factor selected companion students as 'support nursing students' who became responsible for designing an individualised care plan to reduce the risk(s) faced. To ensure the correct use of the nursing process, teachers approved and monitored the implementation of the care plans. Whether risk-reduction objectives were met was determined three months later. RESULTS: The students with risk factors largely improved their lifestyles (targets for reducing smoking/body weight were met) with the help of their supporting peers. CONCLUSIONS: The learning by doing method demonstrated its effectiveness, improving the lifestyle of at-risk students via the use of the nursing process.

Conclusions: moderate and vigorous physical activity is a protective factor for the development of overweight in postmenopausal women

Del Hospital Municipal de Trujillo y del cese de las Hermanas Amantes de Jesús / O Hospital Municipal de Trujillo ea cessação de amantes Irmãs de Jesus / Municipal Hospital of Trujillo and the cessation of Lovers Sisters of Jesus

Los objetivos del estudio fueron realizar una descripción del hospital municipal y de las obras acometidas, exponer las condiciones del convenio entre el Ayuntamiento y las religiosas y describir los cambios que se producen durante 1894. Se ha realizado un estudio histórico-documental durante los años 2014-2015 de los legajos depositados en el Archivo Municipal de Trujillo. El Hospital de la ciudad de Trujillo estaba destinado a la atención de ciudadanos, militares y transeúntes enfermos. La atención a los enfermos fue realizada por las Hermanas Amantes de Jesús y María Inmaculada desde el año 1890. En la labor asistencial, las religiosas fueron ayudadas por una enfermera y un enfermero contratados por el Ayuntamiento. Durante 1894 se produjeron una serie de cambios, promovidos por la Corporación Local de la ciudad, que provocaron que las religiosas cesaran su labor asistencial. Estos cambios se vieron motivados por las quejas recibidas por los enfermos ingresados y por lo costoso que la atención resultaba para el Ayuntamiento. El cese de las hermanas llevaría a que el Ayuntamiento tuviera la necesidad de estudiar una nueva organización a nivel de régimen y administración (AU)

O alvo de este estudo foi a descrição do hospital e das obras de remodelação do mesmo, assim como expor as condições do contrato entre as religiosas e a Câmara. Descrevem-se também as alterações producidas durante 1894. Em 2014 e 2015 realizou-se un trabalho de investigação dos documentos depositados no Arquivo Municipal da cidade de Trujillo. O Hospital Municipal da cidade de Trujillo, estava destinado ao atendimento de cidadãos, militares e transeuntes doentes. O tratamento dos doentes foi realizado pelas Irmãs Amantes de Jesus e Maria Imaculada desde o ano 1890. Para dar assistência às irmãs seriam contratados uma enfermeira e um enfermeiro, pagos pela Câmara Municipal. Durante 1894 a Câmara Municipal efetuou uma série de alterações que produziram a cessação da tarefa assistencial das raligiosas. Esatas alterações foram originadas pelas queixas de alguns dos doentes e pelas elevadas despesas que a Câmara Municipal tinha que pagar pela manutenção do hospital. Com a cessação da atividadde das irmãs a Câmara começou a estudar uma nova organização do regime e da administração da instituição (AU)

The objectives were to make a description of the hospital and the works undertaken, exposing the conditions of the agreement between the city and religious and describe changes that occur during 1894. There has been a historical documentary study during the years 2014-2015 of the files deposited in the Municipal Archives of Trujillo. The Municipal Hospital in the city of Trujillo, was destined to service citizens, sick soldiers and bystanders. The Sisters Lovers of Jesus and Mary Immaculate performed treatment of patients since the year 1890. To assist the sisters would be hired a nurse and a nurse, paid by the city. During 1894 the City Council performed changes that produced the cessation of the assistance service of religious. The changes originated by the complaints of some patients and the high costs that the City Council had to pay for hospital maintenance. With the cessation, the religious began to study a new organization of the regime and the management of the institution (AU)
