Telesimulation about home visits and child care: facilitators, barriers and perception of Nursing students.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the facilitators, barriers and perceptions of Nursing students in learning about home visiting and child care through Telesimulation during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD: a qualitative study to evaluate Telesimulation via computers, grounded on Kolb's theoretical model. A semi-structured questionnaire and the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale were applied, with descriptive analysis and qualitative thematic analysis on the perceptions of 41 Nursing students. RESULTS: the contextualized Telesimulation provided learning opportunities in dimensions of the pedagogical strategy, telesimulated scenario, communication and specificities of child care in home visits. It was considered a safe and dynamic activity that helped knowledge consolidation and reflective attitudes, proximity to reality, and develop interaction, observation and types of approaches. There were restrictions due to Internet connection failures. A large percentage of the students indicated good satisfaction and self-confidence level with learning in the scale applied. CONCLUSION: the real clinical situation with remote immersion allowed observation, decision-making, reflection and elaboration of conclusions, inherent to the experiential learning cycle. The set of elements of this Telesimulation created an environment that stimulated the interest of Nursing students for other learning stages, suggesting a space that strengthens knowledge and maintains dialogue with face-to-face practices.

Evaluation of an educational intervention (edworkcases) involving clinical cases and Nursing students: a cross-sectional observational study.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the impact of the (edworkcases) educational intervention on students' evaluation outcomes in their clinical practices, their attitudes towards Nursing diagnoses, and their satisfaction. METHOD: this study used a cross-sectional observational design. The participants were 69 third-year Nursing students from a public university in Madrid, Spain.

Efficacy of prompted voiding for reversing urinary incontinence in older adults hospitalized in a functional recovery unit: Study protocol.

AIMS: To assess the efficacy of a prompted voiding programme for restoring urinary continence at discharge in hospitalized older adults who presented with reversible urinary incontinence (UI) on admission to a functional recovery unit (FRU). To assess the maintenance of the outcomes achieved after hospitalization. To identify modifiable and unmodifiable factors associated with the success of the prompted voiding programme. DESIGN: Quasi-experimental, pre-/post-intervention study without a control group. METHODS: Participants were aged 65 and over with a history of reversible UI in the previous year who had been admitted to a FRU and were on a prompted voiding programme throughout their hospitalization period. The sample consisted of 221 participants. A non-probabilistic sampling method, in order of recruitment after signing the informed consent form, was used. The primary outcomes were UI assessed at discharge and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. Funding was granted in July 2019 by the Spain Health Research Fund (PI19/00168, Ministry of Health). The proposal was approved by the Spanish Research Ethics Committee. DISCUSSION: The prompted voiding programme described can reverse UI or decrease the frequency and amount of urine loss in hospitalized older adults. IMPACT: Urinary incontinence is highly prevalent in hospitalized older adults. There is a need for care aimed at prevention, recovery and symptom control. Prompted voiding is a therapy provided by the nursing team during hospitalization and can also be provided by family caregivers at home after receiving proper training by the nursing team. Prompted voiding will enhance the health, functional ability and quality of life of older adults with UI, resulting in the reduction of associated healthcare costs and the risk of developing complications.

Nurses' perceptions and demands regarding COVID-19 care delivery in critical care units and hospital emergency services.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health challenge that puts health systems in a highly vulnerable situation. Nurses in critical care units (CCUs) and hospital emergency services (HESs) have provided care to patients with COVID-19 under pressure and uncertainty. OBJECTIVE: To identify needs related to safety, organisation, decision-making, communication and psycho-socio-emotional needs perceived by critical care and emergency nurses in the region of Madrid, Spain, during the acute phase of the epidemic crisis. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study (the first phase of a mixed methods study) with critical care and emergency nurses from 26 public hospitals in Madrid using an online questionnaire. RESULTS: The response rate was 557, with 37.5% reporting working with the fear of becoming infected and its consequences, 28.2% reported elevated workloads, high patient-nurse ratios and shifts that did not allow them to disconnect or rest, while taking on more responsibilities when managing patients with COVID-19 (23.9%). They also reported deficiencies in communication with middle management (21.2%), inability to provide psycho-social care to patients and families and being emotionally exhausted (53.5%), with difficulty in venting emotions (44.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Critical care and emegency nurses may be categorised as a vulnerable population. It is thus necessary to delve deeper into further aspects of their experiences of the pandemic.
