[Community reorientation of primary care in a health area: ROCAP project]. / Reorientación comunitaria de la atención primaria en un área de salud: proyecto ROCAP.

AIM: Evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to incorporate group and community activities on a sustained basis in all the Basic Health Zones (ZBS) of a health area. DESIGN: During January and February 2019, two members of the research team traveled to each ZBS to interview the medical and nursing coordinators who had previously received an ad hoc initial assessment questionnaire (QAI) by email. PLACE: The scope is the 11 ZBS of a health area. PARTICIPANTS: The study population is the ZBS and the respective teams represented by the medical and nursing coordinations. INTERVENTIONS: Promote a community health commission, carry out training actions, record activities in clinical history and incorporate management objectives. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Quantitative and qualitative analysis was carried out pre and post after the first year of intervention. RESULTS: In the pre-evaluation: 6 primary care teams (EAP) reported having group activities, 4 were participating in local action projects, 4 had a professional referent for community activities, 3 participated in projects with populations in vulnerable situations and 4 stated have specific meetings on community health. After the intervention: 11 EAPs had group activities, 8 had a reference professional, 6 were participating in local action projects, 4 collaborated in projects with vulnerable populations and 5 held meetings on community health. CONCLUSIONS: The intervention proved effective after its first year of implementation, since all the EAPs carried out group activities and collaborated with the local councils in the area; the majority had leading professionals in community care and, to a lesser extent, participation in local action projects and in vulnerable populations increased.

Escuelas de salud para personas mayores. Espacios que sanan, personas que curan / Health Schools for the elderly. Spaces that heal, people who cure

Las escuelas de salud son proyectos comunitarios con un bagaje y una evidencia científica ya conocidos y demostrados. Su influencia en la mejora de la calidad de vida de las persones mayores con soledad no deseada es uno de sus grandes beneficios. Por este motivo, como equipo de Atención Primaria apostamos por ella. El objetivo principal de la escuela es promover el envejecimiento activo y mejorar el estado de salud percibido por las persones mayores de 60 años participantes. Las escuelas de salud son espacios sanadores. Su repercusión es bidireccional, ya que influye en todas las personas que participan, mejorando su calidad de vida y dotándolas de herramientas útiles y sencillas para su día a día a través de los conocimientos adquiridos y las experiencias compartidas. Generar puntos de encuentro en el barrio enriquece y aporta salud más allá de los centros sanitarios. Salir a la calle, hablar de igual a igual, fomentar las redes de apoyo y vincularse a una red, son elementos que fortalecen y mejoran la vertiente social de las personas, ayudándolas a curar heridas de vida. Apostar por la salud comunitaria, es apostar por la salud en todas sus dimensiones. (AU)

Health schools are community projects with a well-known and proven scientific past and background. Their influence in improving the quality of life for elderly individuals experiencing unwanted loneliness is one of their significant benefits. That's why we, as a primary health care team, decided to support it. The main aim of the school is to promote active aging and enhance the perceived health status of participants aged over 60. Health schools are healing spaces. Their impact is bidirectional, which has an impact on all participants. Our quality of life improves as we share knowledge and experiences, providing us with healing, useful and straightforward tools for our daily lives. Creating meeting points in the neighbourhood enriches us and contributes to our well-being beyond healthcare centres. Going out into the community, having peer to peer conversations, fostering support networks, and connecting with others sustain us and make us socially stronger, healing life's wounds. To take a chance on the community is in essence to bet on health in all its dimensions. (AU)

Alfabetización en salud: proceso de aprendizaje significativo personal y comunitario / Health literacy: meaningful personal and community learning process

El aprendizaje y la salud son dos elementos vinculados entre sí. El hecho de cuidar de la salud requiere del aprendizaje de conocimientos, habilidades, comportamientos y actitudes que se desarrollan a lo largo de nuestra vida. Los aprendizajes relacionados con la salud comportan estilos de vida más saludables, la mejora del bienestar, la calidad de vida y la salud de la comunidad. El aprendizaje significativo transforma las vidas, abriendo nuevas oportunidades, posibilitando nuevas competencias y formando nuevas redes sociales. Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre la relación entre elementos de la alfabetización en salud y el proceso de aprendizaje significativo. (AU)

Learning and health are both interrelated aspects. The act of looking after health requires learning knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes that develop throughout our lives. Health-related learning leads to healthier lifestyles, improved well-being, better quality of life and community health. Significant learning transforms lives, paving the way towards new opportunities, enabling new skills and forming new social networks. This paper aims to reflect on the relationship between aspects of health literacy and the meaningful learning process. (AU)

Iniciación en el mapeo de activos en un centro de salud urbano de Zaragoza / Initiation in asset mapping in a Zaragoza primary care health centre

Introducción. La salud comunitaria basada en activos es un modelo donde se promociona la salud con políticas y entornos que favorecen que las personas puedan tomar decisiones sobre su salud. El mapeo de activos es el mejor método para conocer los activos. En Aragón existe la estrategia comunitaria que favorece la implantación y el conocimiento de estos conceptos poco conocidos por la población y por los profesionales sanitarios. Objetivos. El objetivo principal fue la búsqueda e identificación de los activos de salud disponibles tras el proceso de mapeo por parte de la ciudadanía de 5 distritos urbanos de Zaragoza durante 1 año. Desarrollar un blog donde profesionales de la educación y de la sanidad, y la ciudadanía puedan acceder al mapa de activos. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo sobre la identificación y recogida de activos identificados por la población pertenecientes a un centro de salud. Las técnicas participativas utilizadas en el grupo de activos fueron mapas mudos y registro mediante fichas. Resultados. Se identificaron 57 activos, fundamentalmente el 28% relacionados con la actividad física. Las actividades de cultura y ocio, y las relacionadas con enfermedades crónicas fueron las siguientes más frecuentes. No se encontró ningún recurso para la deshabituación de tóxicos. El 47% de los activos se encontraban en uno de los 5 distritos adscritos. Conclusiones. Realizar un mapa de activos es fundamental para la prevención y la promoción de la salud. La colaboración ciudadana resulta clave para hacer este proceso con éxito, ofreciéndonos a las/los profesionales de la sanidad una información valiosa para fomentar y llevar a cabo una verdadera atención comunitaria. (AU)

Introduction. Asset-based community health is a model where health is promoted with policies and settings that encourage people to make health-related decisions. Health assets is the best method to get to know the assets. In Aragon there is a community strategy that promotes the implementation and knowledge of these concepts unknown both by the population and health professionals. Aims. The main aim of the study was to search and identify health assets available after the mapping process by the citizens of five Zaragoza urban districts over one year. Moreover, to start a blog where educators, health workers and citizens can access the assets map. Methods. Descriptive study on the identification and collection of assets identified by the population belonging to an urban health centre in Zaragoza. The participatory techniques used in the assets group were blank maps and recording by means of cards. Results. A total of 57 assets were identified, most of which related to physical activity (28%). This was followed by cultural, leisure activities and chronic diseases. No resource was detected for the cessation of toxic substances; 47% of assets were located in one of the five affiliated districts. Conclusions. Drawing up an assets map is essential for correct prevention and health promotion. Neighbourhood citizen collaboration is key to performing this process successfully. This also offers health professionals valuable information to promote and carry out actual community care. (AU)

[How to improve community engagement in health: Analysis of proposed actions following the implementation of a community engagement assessment tool]. / ¿Cómo mejoramos la participación comunitaria en salud? Análisis de las acciones propuestas tras la aplicación de una herramienta de evaluación.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the lines of action identified in the health promotion projects participating in the EvaluA GPS research, and their relationship with the scores assigned in EvalGuia, a tool for evaluating evidence-based community participation. DESIGN: Qualitative-quantitative multicentre study. SETTING: Primary care or intersectoral network of primary care and municipalities in five autonomous communities in Spain. PARTICIPANTS: Participants of 10 health promotion projects, selected with convenience sampling, following inclusion criteria (projects with a minimum of community engagement and centred on community health). METHOD: Data were collected through questionnaires (EvalGuía tool) and participatory workshops. Quantitative data were analysed with descriptive statistics, qualitative data were analysed using matrix analysis. RESULTS: After implementing the EvalGuide tool, the lowest scores were assigned in outcome evaluation, knowledge of policies related to community participation, diversity in the core working group, inclusivity policies, financial resources and diffusion of results. The lines of action proposed were heterogeneous and did not always match with those prioritised as lower score. The prioritised lines revolved around project organisation and communication. CONCLUSIONS: The EvalGuide tool can be helpful to design action plans in Health Promotion projects. The implementation of measures in 12 months to increase the diversity of the core working group, to incorporate work-life balance measures or to improve evaluation is difficult. More time is needed to implement such measures.

[Attend, consult, involve: do we need to redefine the concept of community engagement?] / Asistir, consultar, involucrar: ¿es necesario redefinir el concepto de participación comunitaria?

OBJECTIVE: To describe how a sample of people working in community health promotion projects perceive and implement community engagement approaches. METHOD: Mixed qualitative-quantitative study. Data was collected through: semi-structured interviews with 10 people representing the projects, and workshops in which 53 people participated and responded to a questionnaire prepared ad hoc to identify levels of community engagement. Descriptive statistical analysis of the questionnaires and framework analysis of the interviews, observations and workshops recordings. RESULTS: Although the projects are described as highly participatory, community engagement appeared mainly in the form of attending events, with few examples of consultation or community involvement. CONCLUSIONS: This difference may be due to the lack of a culture of participation, both in individuals and institutions, and lack of training in community engagement. It is proposed to change the language from participation-attendance to using expressions such as consulting or involving people.

Emprendimientos sociales y salud comunitaria: Transformaciones subjetivas en experiencias de cooperación social

En el presente artículo compartimos los avances de la investigación que estamos impulsando en la Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, desde el proyecto de Emprendimientos sociales y salud comunitaria. En el objetivo general, nos propusimos estudiar en profundidad las transformaciones subjetivas que ocurren en el marco de las experiencias de cooperación social, con el fin de identificar y comprender los elementos que condicionan su expansión, así como aquellos tendientes al fortalecimiento del campo de la Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS). En ese sentido, abordamos la temática de la cooperación social entendiendo que la misma a través de experiencias socio-económicas favorece el acceso a los derechos - trabajo, educación y salud- de las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad. Del amplio campo de la cooperación social nos focalizamos más puntualmente en el estudio de las empresas sociales, es decir, esas organizaciones asociativas que realizan una actividad económica regular de producción de bienes o prestación de servicios con una definida finalidad social para la comunidad y la integración social de las personas, particularmente de los grupos socialmente vulnerables y vulnerados.Entre las reflexiones finales que venimos construyendo destacamos que entre los testimonios de les emprendedores, lo colectivo surge como estructurante de la organización, en tal sentido es acto participativo, es nosotres, horizontalidad y confianza. Ese nosotres es inclusivo y diverso. Se considera saludable ya que da marco a lo que se construye y a su vez oficia como un espacio simbólico productor de procesos identificatorios de les emprendedores con la organización.

Neste artigo queremos compartilhar o andamento da pesquisa que estamos realizando na Universidade Nacional de Quilmes, a partir do projeto Empreendedorismo Social e Saúde Comunitária. No objetivo geral deste projeto, nos propusemos a estudar em profundidade as transformações subjetivas que ocorrem no âmbito das experiências de cooperação social, a fim de identificar e compreender os elementos que condicionam sua expansão, bem como aqueles que tendem a fortalecer o campo da Economia Social e Solidária (ESS). Nesse sentido, abordamos a questão da cooperação social, entendendo que ela, por meio de experiências socioeconômicas, favorece o acesso a direitos - trabalho, educação e saúde - de pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade. Do amplo campo da cooperação social, focamos mais especificamente no estudo do que se convencionou chamar de empresas sociais, ou seja, aquelas organizações associativas que desenvolvem uma atividade econômica regular de produção de bens ou prestação de serviços com finalidade social definida comunidade e a integração social das pessoas, em particular dos grupos socialmente vulneráveis e vulneráveis. Dentre as reflexões finais que fomos construindo, nos interessa destacar que dentre os depoimentos dos empreendedores, o coletivo surge como estruturante da organização, nesse sentido é um ato participativo, somos nós, horizontalidade e confiança. Que somos inclusivos e diversos. É considerado salutar por fornecer um arcabouço para o que é construído e, por sua vez, atuar como um espaço simbólico que produz processos de identificação dos empreendedores com a organização.

In this article we want to share the progress of the research that we are carrying out at the National University of Quilmes, from the Social Entrepreneurship and Community Health project. In the general objective of this project, we proposed to study in depth the subjective transformations that occur within the framework of social cooperation experiences, in order to identify and understand the elements that condition its expansion, as well as those tending to strengthen the field of the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS). In this sense, we address the issue of social cooperation, understanding that it through socio-economic experiences favors access to rights - work, education and health - of people in vulnerable situations. From the broad field of social cooperation, we focus more specifically on the study of social enterprises, that is, those associative organizations that carry out a regular economic activity of producing goods or providing services with a defined social purpose, for the community and the social integration of people, particularly of socially vulnerable and vulnerable groups. Among the final reflections that we have been building, we are interested in highlighting that among the testimonies of the entrepreneurs, the collective emerges as a structuring of the organization, in this sense it is a participatory act, it is us, horizontality and trust. We are inclusive and diverse. It is considered healthy since it provides a framework for what is built and, in turn, acts as a symbolic space that produces identification processes of the entrepreneurs with the organization.

[The role of the nurse in the field of public health]. / El rol de la enfermería en el ámbito de la salud pública.

OBJECTIVE: Identify the role of public health nurses and differentiate it from that of community care nurses in the context of Catalonia, through the experiences and perspectives of professionals in the field of public health. METHOD: Descriptive phenomenological qualitative study. Fourteen interviews were conducted with key informants, from the field of public health and community care, selected by i purposive sampling. Content analysis using thematic methodology, creation of categories from the triangulation of results. RESULTS: The professional competencies and functions performed by nursing in the field of public health are analysed. Most of the specific functions were the ones related to "care" and the "global vision" of health. The indeterminacy of functions and roles, related to gender inequality, leads to a low recognition of the profession and a lack of appropriateness of the professional category, reflected in a low presence of nurses in management positions in public health. Although some competencies are shared with the family and community nurse, there are also differences. CONCLUSIONS: This study sheds light on the role of public health nursing, often overlooked. It is urgent to define public health nurses role and functions, in order to avoid inequalities and increase their recognition.

Evaluación de una actividad formativa en acción comunitaria realizada por estudiantes pregrado / Evaluation of a training activity on community action conducted by undergraduate students

Objetivo: evaluar el aprendizaje y la metodología de un trabajo académico sobre el diseño de una actividad comunitaria local.Método: estudio evaluativo mixto realizado en estudiantes de Enfermería. Tras una introducción teórica a 144 estudiantes sobre acción comunitaria se formaron equipos que, durante dos meses, realizaron un análisis de población parcialmente real, mapeo de activos, búsqueda bibliográfica para conocer los estilos de vida, búsqueda y análisis crítico de experiencias comunitarias anteriores y diseño de una propuesta de actividad. El profesorado la calificó mediante rúbrica (0 a 10 puntos) y se ofreció al alumnado evaluarla mediante cuatro preguntas abiertas y dos cerradas (interés suscitado y necesidad de mantener la actividad formativa -escalas Likert de 1 mín. a 5 máx.-). Se llevaron a cabo índices estadísticos descriptivos y análisis de contenido.Resultados: realizaron la actividad 27 grupos que obtuvieron una calificación mediana de 8,17 puntos. La evaluaron 96 estudiantes que consideraron que era interesante (x–= 4,29) y debía mantenerse (x–= 4,17). Identificaron como “necesarios” e importantes los proyectos de promoción de la salud en la comunidad local y el trabajo compartido con ella. Reflejaron haber descubierto otro campo de acción profesional. Apenas reflejaron visión salutogénica y encontraron dificultades para enfocar la tarea, en la búsqueda de bibliografía y de experiencias previas.Conclusión: la actividad fue resuelta con éxito por los estudiantes y logró en el corto plazo la familiarización con el trabajo comunitario que buscaba. El alumnado encontró dificultades para desarrollar la metodología, pero percibieron la actividad como interesante y relevante. (AU)

Objective: to evaluate the level of learning and the methodology of an academic paper on the design of a local community activity.Method: a mixed evaluative study conducted on Nursing students. After a theoretical introduction on community action, 144 students formed teams and, during two months, conducted a partially real population analysis, article mapping and bibliographic search in order to understand the lifestyles, search and critical analysis of previous community experiences, and design a proposal of activity. Professors graded it through signature (0 to 10 scores), and students were offered an evaluation through four open questions and two closed-ended questions (interest generated and the need to maintain the training activity, Likert scales with min. 1 to max. 5). Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted, as well as content analysis.Results: the activity was conducted by 27 groups, who achieved a median score of 8.17. It was then evaluated by 96 students, who considered that it was interesting (x–= 4.29) and should be maintained (x–= 4.17). They identified as “necessary” and important the health promotion projects in the local community and the work shared with it. They showed that they had discovered another area of professional action. They scarcely showed salutogenic vision and had difficulties to focus the task on a search for bibliography and previous experiences.Conclusion: the activity was successfully conducted by students, and the desired familiarity with the community work was achieved at short term. Students met difficulties to develop the methodology but perceived the activity as interesting and relevant. (AU)

Introduction: This article is an important contribution to the application of Callista Roy's Adaptation Model to groups. Objective: To promote adaptive behaviors through primary health care strategies for a group of chronically ill older adults living in a municipality in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Materials and methods: A qualitative participatory action research approach was used. A nurse used participant observation and characterized the community; besides, with exploratory questions, the nurse enabled them to identify their problems and suggest strategies for improvement, including for their own health. Subsequently, the nursing care process was applied. Results: Group behavior was assessed through the following modes of adaptation: physiologic adaptation, self-concept or group identity, role-function adaptation or unit of social functioning and social integrity, and interdependence adaptation or social context in which the group functions. Discussion: Applying Roy's model in practice makes it possible to identify negative situations in groups, promote innovative coping processes, and control environmental stimuli in a community. Assessment skills must be sharp, as they are key to applying Roy's model to community practice. Conclusions: The stimuli that trigger the main adaptation problems were identified, and a nursing care plan was implemented developing adaptation strategies, such as home visits, intergenerational meetings, community participation with support groups created by the municipality, and health education, to promote group adaptation.

To understand the experiences of new and continuing users of Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) of Lima and Callao, and their relatives, regarding the mental health care they received during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods. Qualitative study conducted between September 2021 and February 2022, in which we interviewed 24 users and family members who interacted with the services provided by three CMHCs in Lima and one in Callao during the COVID-19 pandemic. We carried out a thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews. Results. Participants perceived that the pandemic exacerbated the symptoms of people with mental health problems. During the pandemic, mental health care relied on the use of technology, mainly telephone calls, which were used to monitor the emotional state and pharmacological treatment of users, as well as to schedule and remember appointments. The users emphasized that frequent telephone calls made them feel accompanied and highlighted the commitment of the CMHC workers. Among the difficulties, they reported an increase in the demand for care, problems in accessing video calls, and low quality in virtual care. Conclusions. COVID-19 had an emotional impact on people with mental health problems; in turn, CMHC services were affected by the type of care (face-to-face or virtual), resources, frequency, time and quality of care, finding limitations and benefits in the use of technology.

Uso de Anticonceptivos Orales y Percepción del Papel del Farmacéutico Comunitario entre Adolescentes: un estudio observacional / Oral Contraceptive Use and Perception of the Role of the Community Pharmacist among Adolescents: an observational study

Introducción: Los embarazos no deseados en adolescentes tienen graves consecuencias tanto para las propias adolescentes y sus bebés como para el uso de los recursos del sistema sanitario. Una de las razones es el escaso uso de píldoras anticonceptivas orales (ACO) entre esta población, debido principalmente a la falta de información o a la no adherencia a los medicamentos. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la información que reciben las adolescentes sobre los ACO y su uso, así como su percepción del papel del farmacéutico comunitario en este campo. Método: Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal mediante encuesta, aplicada a mujeres entre 12-19 años residentes en España, independientemente de si habían utilizado o no ACO, durante abril de 2021. Para la difusión de esta encuesta se utilizaron diferentes redes sociales. Asimismo, se contactó con diferentes asociaciones españolas dedicadas a la orientación de la planificación familiar y la salud sexual en adolescentes. Resultados: El 81,7% (n=76) de los encuestados no había tomado ACO, aunque el 35,5% (n=33) sí había mantenido relaciones sexuales. El 6% (n=1) que tomaba o había tomado ACO informó que eran adherentes. El 88% (n=82) pensaba que el farmacéutico tiene conocimientos sobre medicamentos; sin embargo, sólo el 19,4% (n=18) les consultaría para resolver dudas sobre ACO. Conclusiones: Para resolver los problemas de falta de información sobre ACO y de adherencia en mujeres adolescentes, el farmacéutico comunitario es un profesional accesible que puede contribuir a ello adoptando una actitud activa y utilizando diferentes formas de material educativo.

Introduction: Unintended pregnancies in adolescents have serious consequences both for the adolescents themselves and their babies and for the use of health system resources. One of the reasons is the low use of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) among this population, mainly due to lack of information or non-adherence to the medication. The aim of this study was to describe the information adolescents receive about OCPs and their use, as well as their perception of the role of the community pharmacist in this field. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out by means of a survey applied to women aged 12-19 years living in Spain, regardless of whether or not they had used OCPs, during April 2021. Different social networks were used to disseminate the survey. Different Spanish associations dedicated to family planning and adolescent sexual health counselling were also contacted. Results: 81.7% (n=76) of respondents had not taken OCPs, although 35.5% (n=33) had had sex. The 6% (n=1) who were taking or had taken OCPs reported adherence. 88% (n=82) thought that the pharmacist is knowledgeable about medicines; however, only 19.4% (n=18) would consult them for OCP questions. Conclusions: To solve the problems of lack of information about OCPs and adherence in adolescent women, the community pharmacist is an accessible professional who can contribute to this by taking an active role and using different forms of educational materials.

Proyectos de Vinculación con el Medio: satisfacción de los estudiantes ante una nueva estrategia pedagógica / Projects for Connection with the Environment: Satisfaction in students faced with a new educational strategy

La crisis sanitaria derivada de la pandemia por COVID-19 ha aumentado la vulnerabilidad de determinados colectivos de Chile, como la población en edad escolar. Los “Proyectos de Vinculación con el Medio” pueden disminuir esta brecha mediante el acercamiento de los estudiantes universitarios a dichos ámbitos comunitarios. En Chile se llevaron a cabo dos proyectos de control de salud escolar en las comunas de Lota y Hualpén, de la ciudad de Concepción: “Salud y Bienestar para Lota” y “Proyecto Escuelas Saludables”. En ellos los estudiantes de 4º de Enfermería evaluaban el desarrollo psicomotor de preescolares y realizaban Educación para la Salud sobre diversos temas como: alimentación saludable, actividad física, convivencia escolar y hábitos de higiene entre otros. La evaluación de la satisfacción de los estudiantes reveló que aproximadamente tres de cada cuatro habían mejorado sus habilidades de atención al usuario y habían podido integrar conocimientos teóricos en la práctica. Además, la mayoría (un 92,8%) estaba de acuerdo en que realizar esta actividad en el 4º año favorecía el desarrollo de competencias esperadas para futuros desempeños en este campo de acción de la disciplina enfermera. Estas actividades generan un beneficio bidireccional cubriendo las necesidades en salud de la comunidad y generando una oportunidad de aprendizaje en contextos de Atención Primaria comunitaria, fuera de los centros de salud.(AU)

The healthcare crisis derived of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the vulnerability of certain population groups in Chile, such as school-age children. “Projects for Connection with the Environment” can reduce this breach by approaching University students to said community settings. Two projects for school health monitoring were conducted in Chile, in the municipalities of Lota and Hualpén from the city of Concepción: “Health and Wellbeing for Lota”, and “Project for Healthy Schools”. In these projects, 4th year Nursing students assessed the psychomotor development of pre-schoolers and conducted Health Education on different subjects such as: healthy diet, physical activity, school coexistence and hygiene habits, among others. The satisfaction assessment in students revealed that approximately three out of four had improved their user support skills and had been able to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice. Besides, the majority (92.8%) agreed that conducting this activity on their 4th year encouraged the development of the skills expected for future performance in this field of action for Nurses. These activities generate a bidirectional benefit, covering the healthcare needs in the community, and creating a learning opportunity in the Primary Care community settings, outside health centres.(AU)
