El patrón de adquisición del conocimiento está cambiando. En la actualidad se propone un modelo centrado en el aprendizaje, en el que no se trata solo de enseñar una materia sino de enseñar a aprender. En este contexto el profesor pasa a ser un facilitador del aprendizaje. En este modelo, trabajar con dinámicas de grupo e incorporar herramientas digitales contribuyen a que la experiencia de aprendizaje resulte más gratificante y exitosa. El objetivo principal de este proyecto es fomentar la utilización de modelos de aprendizaje activos por parte de los profesores de la asignatura de Enfermería Comunitaria II del grado de Enfermería, incorporando dinámicas de grupo y herramientas digitales. Durante el primer semestre del curso académico 2022/23 los profesores de la asignatura se formaron en este modelo de aprendizaje, elaboraron fichas docentes incorporando alguna dinámica de grupo y herramientas digitales y desarrollaron las actividades docentes según la metodología descrita en las fichas. Finalmente se llevó a cabo un proceso de evaluación de la experiencia tanto por los estudiantes como por los profesores. Al 87% de los alumnos, las dinámicas de grupo utilizadas por los profesores les han parecido interesantes y el 84,8% considera que han contribuido a alcanzar los objetivos de aprendizaje. Del mismo modo, al 89,1% también le ha parecido que la utilización de herramientas digitales ha resultado muy interesante y un 80,4% señala que también han ayudado a alcanzar los objetivos de aprendizaje. En el caso de los docentes, el 100% considera que tanto las dinámicas en grupo realizadas como el uso de las herramientas digitales han resultado interesantes para los alumnos y han contribuido a alcanzar los objetivos de aprendizaje. Las actividades desarrolladas en este proyecto han contribuido a crear un clima adecuado en el aula para que el aprendizaje sea más efectivo y de calidad potenciando el trabajo colaborativo y la cohesión del grupo.

Background Venous ulcers usually present a torpid evolution with a negative impact on patients’ quality of life. In primary care, they account for 2.5% of nursing consultations and their treatment represents high costs for national health systems. These patients usually have a low level of physical activity, with muscle pump dysfunction of the lower limbs, which may improve with increased physical activity. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of a structured intervention involving physical activity and exercise (Active Legs) as an adjuvant treatment in improving healing of chronic venous ulcers at 3 months follow-up. Methods A randomized, multicentre clinical trial. A total of 224 individuals receiving primary nursing care with a diagnosis of venous ulcer, with a diameter of 1 cm or greater and an ankle-brachial index between 0.8 and 1.3, able to comply with the study requirements and consenting to participate, will be sequentially included (112 per group). Both groups will receive the standard treatment in primary care, with cleansing, debridement and healing in a moist environment together with multilayer compression therapy. The intervention group will also receive a structured educational intervention involving lower limb physical exercise and daily ambulation guidelines. The primary response variables will be complete healing –understood as complete and sustained epithelialisation for at least 2 weeks– and time to healing. The secondary variables will be degree of healing, ulcer area, quality of life, pain and variables related to the healing process, prognosis, and recurrences. Sociodemographic variables, adherence to treatment and satisfaction variables will also be recorded. Data will be collected at baseline, at 3 months and at 6 months follow-up. Survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier and Cox) will be performed to measure primary effectiveness. Intention-to-treat analysis. Discussion If the intervention is effective, a cost-effectiveness ana

Vaccination against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 is recommended in health sciences students to reduce the risk of acquiring these diseases and transmitting them to patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate how the pandemic influenced the modification of influenza vaccination coverage during the 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 campaigns and to analyze the vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 in health sciences students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among students of the Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry of the Complutense University of Madrid. A questionnaire was administered in two stages, the first, Q1, before the start of the pandemic, where we analyzed influenza coverage during the 2019/2020 campaign and a second, Q2, 18 months after the start of the pandemic where we analyzed influenza coverage during the 2021/2022 campaign and coverage against SARS-CoV-2. A total of 1894 students (58.78% of the total of those enrolled) participated. Flu vaccination coverage increased from 26.7% in Q1 to 35.0% in Q2 (p < 0.05), being higher in the age group older than 21 years, who studied nursing, were in their fourth year and lived with people at risk. Vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 was very high (97.8%), especially in students vaccinated against influenza. Coverage of the influenza vaccine in health sciences students increased from 2019–2020 to 2021–2022, being higher in the age group older than 21 years, who studied nursing, were in their first and fourth year and lived with people at risk. Coverage of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in health sciences students was very high, especially in those vaccinated against influenza., Depto. de Enfermería, Fac. de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología, TRUE, pub

It is important to know the attitudes of students of health sciences (SHSs) towards vaccination since they will be tomorrow’s health professionals. Vaccination is a powerful tool in the fight against COVID-19. The aim of the present, cross-sectional study was to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the attitude of SHSs towards vaccination. Data were collected in the form of a questionnaire from all students of nursing, physiotherapy and chiropody matriculated at a Madrid University for the academic year 2019/2020 (i.e., before the start of the pandemic [Q1]), and from all those matriculated for the year 2021/22 (i.e., c18 months after the pandemic was declared [Q2]). A multivariate analysis was performed to identify the influence of sex, degree being studied, course year and the time of answering (Q1 or Q2), on the dimensions Beliefs, Behaviours and General Attitude. Overall, 1894 questionnaires were returned (934 [49.3%] for Q1, and 960 [50.7%] for Q2), of which 70.5% were completed by students of nursing, 14% by students of physiotherapy and 15.4% by those studying chiropody. In Q2, the results for all three dimensions were significantly better (p < 0.05). The most important influencing factors were being a student of nursing, being in the final years of training (years 3 or 4), female gender and answering at the time of Q2. The results obtained are encouraging since student nurses (who showed Q1 and Q2 General Attitude scores of 3.34 and 3.47 (maximum possible 4), respectively [p < 0.05]) are the health professionals of tomorrow most likely to be involved in vaccination programmes., Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Ayudas Económicas a los Grupos de Investigación UCM), Depto. de Enfermería, Fac. de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología, TRUE, pub

(1) Background: Vaccination is the most effective intervention to control seasonal influenza morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to determine the influenza vaccination coverage in the Military Health Corps personnel in the 2020–2021 season, as well as the time trend and the possible influence of the pandemic on coverage, in order to study the reasons that led to the non-vaccination of health professionals and to analyze adverse drug reactions (ADRs). (2) Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2021. All FAS CMS personnel were included. A self-administered questionnaire was sent by e-mail to the selected personnel. (3) Results: Vaccination coverage in the 2016–2017 season was 15.8% (n = 276), in the 2019–2020 season it was 17.41% (n = 424), and in the 2020–2021 season it was 24.22% (n = 590). The percentage of vaccinated men was higher than the percentage of women. In 2019 and 2020 the most vaccinated group was 31–40 years old. Lieutenants had the highest vaccination uptake in 2019 and 2020. The personnel with the highest uptake of vaccines were those in the specialty of nursing in each of 2016, 2019 and 2020, with >30 years of time worked in 2016. In terms of factors leading to refusal of vaccination, the most reported was “not considered a risk group” (23.0%), and the least reported was “avoidance of vaccine administration” (2.2%). Eighty individuals presented adverse reactions after vaccine administration (9.6%). (4) Conclusions: The rate of influenza vaccination among healthcare professionals was lower during the 2020 season compared to the previous season, but was expected to increase in the upcoming 2021 season., Depto. de Enfermería, Fac. de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología, TRUE, pub

The beneficial effects of social support on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life are well known. Using the baseline data of the MULTIPAP study (n = 593), an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out that analyzed the sex differences in the social support perceived by polymedicated adults aged 65 to 74 years with multimorbidity. The main outcome variable was social support measured through the Duke–UNC-11 Functional Social Support (DUFSS) questionnaire in its two dimensions (confident support and affective support). For both sexes, the perception of functional social support was correlated with being married or partnered and having a higher health-related quality of life utility index. In women, it was correlated with a higher level of education, living alone, and treatment adherence, and in men with higher monthly income, prescribed drugs and fewer diagnosed diseases.

El juego patológico es un patrón de juego compulsivo, no controlable y recurrente que afecta a nivel psicosocial y genera un impacto negativo en las relaciones de quien lo padece. Se estima que afecta a 400.000 españoles, afectando mayormente a varones de 43 años de media, casados, con nivel socioeconómico medio-bajo y con trabajo en activo o prestaciones sociales. Los jugadores sufren preocupación, conductas de escape, intento de recuperación compulsiva del dinero, pérdida de relaciones, falta de tolerancia y síndrome de abstinencia. Situaciones de estrés como la pandemia por COVID-19 pueden aumentar los casos de jugadores patológicos, por ello es un problema relevante donde la enfermera comunitaria puede intervenir realizando una promoción del ocio saludable, prevención desde edades tempranas, detección precoz de los casos y tratamiento, siendo el objetivo del trabajo describir la acción de la enfermera comunitaria en estos ámbitos. Para ello, se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en distintas bases de datos y se ha estructurado la pregunta de investigación con formato PICO. Los resultados confirman la importancia de la prevención primaria, donde la enfermería puede tomar acciones a nivel político y legal e incidir en la regulación de la publicidad, y donde tiene un papel fundamental la educación para la salud , además, desde la consulta, se puede realizar un diagnóstico precoz para prevenir daños en otras áreas del paciente. Por último, la enfermería desempeña un papel importante en la atención multidisciplinar del paciente ludópata, por lo que debe estar formada en los posibles tratamientos., Pathological gambling is a pattern of compulsive, uncontrollable and recurrent gambling that affects the psychosocial level and has a negative impact on the relationships of those who suffer from it. It is estimated that it affects 400,000 Spaniards, affecting mostly men of 43 years of age on average, married, with a medium-low socioeconomic level and with an active job or social benefits. Gamblers suffer from worry, escape behaviors, compulsive attempts to recover money, loss of relationships, lack of tolerance and withdrawal syndrome. Stressful situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic can increase the number of cases of pathological gamblers, which is why it is a relevant problem where the community nurse can intervene by promoting healthy leisure, prevention from an early age, early detection of cases and treatment, the aim of this study being to describe the action of the community nurse in these areas. For this purpose, a bibliographic search was carried out in different databases and the research question was structured in PICO format. The results confirm the importance of primary prevention, where nursing can take action at the political and legal level and influence the regulation of advertising, and where health education plays a fundamental role, in addition, early diagnosis can be carried out from the consultation to prevent damage in other areas of the patient. Finally, nursing plays an important role in the multidisciplinary care of the problem gambling patient, and should therefore be trained in the possible treatments.

The presence of venous leg ulcers (VLU) is associated with emotional disorders in individuals who have conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and sleeping problems, which result in a reduced perceived quality of life by these individuals. The study aim was to describe the perceived quality of life and associated factors for individuals with VLU. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 22 primary care health centers with a sample of 93 individuals with VLU. The variables collected were the following: perceived quality of life measured with Spanish version of the Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire (CCVUQ-e), ulcer severity measured with the RESVECH 2.0 Score, demographic variables, and those related to the healing process. The results showed a mean CCVUQ-e score of 47.4 ± 11.8 points (Mean ± SD), with the most affected dimension being the emotional status, followed by cosmesis, social interaction, and domestic activities. The mean RESVECH 2.0 score was 11.1 ± 3.7 points. An association was found between ulcer-related pain and poorer quality of life (P < .05, t test) and between erythema in perilesional skin and poorer quality life (P < .05, t test). The signs of infection and inflammation in the VLUs were as follows: increasing exudate, friable tissue, and biofilm-compatible tissue, which were associated with a poorer quality of life (P < .05, t test). The multivariate model was statistically significant and explained a variability of 26% in the CCVUQ-e score. This study confirms that wound severity, pain, and signs of infection in VLU decrease the perceived quality of life of individuals with these wounds.

Objetivo: Evaluar si el vendaje de 2 capas es más efectivo que el vendaje de crepé en la cicatrización de úlceras venosas tras 12 semanas de seguimiento. Diseño: Ensayo clínico aleatorizado multicéntrico. Emplazamiento: 22 Centros de Salud de Madrid. Participantes: Mayores de 18 años, con diagnóstico de úlceras venosas. Se aleatorizaron 93 pacientes, 56 en el grupo de doble capa y 37 en crepé. Retiradas: 16 en el grupo de doble capa y 7 en el de crepé. Intervenciones: Grupo control: práctica clínica habitual: tratamiento de la herida y vendaje con crepé. Grupo experimental: misma práctica habitual para tratamiento de la herida y vendaje con doble capa. Mediciones principales: Variable respuesta principal: cicatrización completa a las 12 semanas. Variables secundarias: severidad de las lesiones, calidad de vida, reacciones adversas. Evaluación ciega de la variable respuesta. Resultados: Cicatrización completa: 25 (67%) en el grupo crepé (IC al 95% 50,2-81,9) y 32 (57,1%) en doble capa (IC al 95% 43,2-70,3). Sin diferencias en ambos grupos, RR = 1,10 (IC al 95% 0,864-1,424). La severidad de las úlceras basales se asocia al tiempo de cicatrización, HR = 0,86 (IC al 95% 0,78-0,94). Se objetiva mejora significativa en la calidad de vida total y en las dimensiones cosmesis y estado emocional. No se encuentran diferencias según el vendaje utilizado. Sin reacciones adversas graves en ninguno de los grupos. Conclusiones: No encontramos diferencias significativas en la cicatrización entre los 2 tipos de vendaje. Ambos son apropiados para la cicatrización de las úlceras y para mejorar la calidad de vida., Objective: To evaluate if the two-layer bandage is more effective than the crepe bandage in the healing of venous ulcers after 12 weeks of follow-up. Design: Randomized multicentre controlled clinical trial. Location: 22 Primary Health Centers of Madrid. Participants: Over 18 years old, with diagnosis of venous ulcers. 93 patients were randomized, 56 in the double layer group and 37 in the crepe group. Withdrawals: 16 in double layer group, 7 in crepe group. Interventions: Control group: usual clinical practice: treatment of the wound and bandage with crepe. Experimental group: same usual clinical practice for wound treatment and bandage with double layer. Main measurements: Primary outcome: complete healing at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes: severity of ulceration, health-related quality of life, adverse events. Blind evaluation of the response variable. Results: Complete healing: in crepe group, 25, 67.5% (95% CI 50.2-81.9) and in double layer group, 32, 57.1% (95% CI 43.2-70.3). No evidence of a difference in both groups, RR = 1.10 (95% CI 0.864-1.424). The basal severity of the ulcers is associated with the healing time. HR = 0.86 (95% CI 0.78-0.94). Our data showed a significant improvement in health-related quality of life, total and in the of cosmesis and emotional dimensions. No evidence of a difference in both groups. We didn’t find serious adverse events in any of the groups. Conclusions: We didn’t find significant differences in the healing between the two bandages evaluated. Both are appropriate for ulcer healing and to improve the health-related quality of life.

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency, in its final stage can cause venous ulcers. Venous ulcers have a prevalence of 0.5 % to 0.8 % in the general population, and increases starting at 60 years of age. This condition often causes increased dependency in affected individuals, as well as a perceived reduced quality of life and family overload. Local Treating chronic venous ulcers has 2 components: topically healing the ulcer and controlling the venous insufficiency. There is evidence that compressive therapy favours the healing process of venous ulcers. The studies we have found suggest that the use of multilayer bandage systems is more effective than the use of bandages with a single component, these are mostly using in Spain. Multilayer compression bandages with 2 layers are equally effective in the healing process of chronic venous ulcers as 4-layer bandages and are better tolerated and preferenced by patients. More studies are needed to specifically compare the 2-layer bandages systems in the settings where these patients are usually treated. Method/design: Randomised, controlled, parallel, multicentre clinical trial, with 12 weeks of follow-up and blind evaluation of the response variable. The objective is to assess the efficacy of multilayer compression bandages (2 layers) compared with crepe bandages, based on the incidence of healed venous ulcers in individuals treated in primary care nursing consultations, at 12 weeks of follow-up. The study will include 216 individuals (108 per branch) with venous ulcers treated in primary care nursing consultations. The primary endpoint is complete healing at 12 weeks of follow-up. The secondary endpoints are the degree of healing (Resvech.2), quality of life (CCVUQ-e), adverse reactions related to the healing process. Prognosis and demographic variables are also recorder. Effectiveness analysis using Kaplan-Meier curves, a log-rank test and a Cox regression analysis. The analysis was performed by intention to treat. Di
