Introducción. En el curso académico 2011/2012 se implantó la simulación clínica en el itinerario formativo del grado de enfermería en la UCAM. Se integró dentro de los diferentes Practicum clínicos para introducir nuevas metodologías docentes centradas en el alumno. Objetivos. Conocer la percepción y opinión de los alumnos de 2º y 3º de grado acerca de la simulación clínica. Valorar las propuestas de mejora del alumnado. Identificar las principales críticas hacia la simulación. Metodología. Investigación cualitativa de tipo explotarorio utilizando un cuestionario semiestructurado impreso con preguntas de opinión abiertas para autoentrevista. La población diana fueron alumnos de 2º y 3º de grado en enfermería que cursaron la simulación clínica en el año 2012. El cuestionario fue cumplimentado por los alumnos entre Enero y Junio de 2012. El procesamiento de los datos se realizó clasificando los mismos según categorías/ subcategorías y sometiendo el discurso a un análisis de contenido. Resultados y discusión. La percepción del alumnado es positiva, valorando sobre todo la adquisición de competencias (priorización, refuerzo de conocimientos, confianza, trabajo en equipo, comunicación, rectificación de errores, entrenamiento previo a la práctica real). Los alumnos muestran su disconformidad con el sistema de evaluación y proponen flexibilidad en la asistencia. Introduction: Clinical simulation was implemented in the training process of the nursing degree in the UCAM. It was integrated within the different clinical Practicum to introduce new teaching methods focused on teaching the students. Objectives: To know the perception and opinion of the students of 2nd and 3rd grade on clinical simulation. To assess students' suggestions for improvement. To identify the major criticisms of the simulation. Methodology: Qualitative study using a semi-structured questionnaire exploratory with printed opinion questions open for self-interview. The target population was students of 2nd and 3rd grade who were enrolled in nursing clinical simulation in 2012. The questionnaire was completed by the students between January and June 2012. The data processing was performed by classifying them according to categories / subcategories and subjecting the speech to a content analysis. Results and discussion: The perception of students is positive, especially when valuing the acquisition of skills (prioritization, strengthening knowledge, confidence, teamwork, communication, error correction, training prior to actual practice). Students show their dissatisfaction with the current assessment system and propose flexibility in attendance

(1) Background: Currently, the scientific evidence on the benefits of assisted therapy with dogs in dementia is not clear. In this study, we want to evaluate such benefits through a randomized controlled clinical trial in multiple centers across the country. (2) Methods: The participants were people over 65 years old with dementia, residing in senior centers in Spain (n = 334). The experimental group underwent assisted therapy with dogs based on the Comprehensive Cognitive Activation Program in Dementia, for 8 months, with weekly sessions of 45 min. Data were collected at the commencement, middle, and end of the program, to evaluate the aspects using the Mini-Examination Cognitive, the modified Bartell Index, the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. (3) Results: The results show significant improvements in the experimental group versus the control group in the affective (T1 = p 0.000; T2 = p 0.000) and behavioral (T1 = p 0.005; T2 = p 0.000) aspects, with the affective aspect displaying greater progress in participants with additional depressive (p = 0.022) or anxiety (p = 0.000) disorders, shorter institutionalization periods (r = −0.222, p = 0.004), and those undergoing complementary psychotherapy (p = 0.033) or alternative therapy (p = 0.011). (4) Conclusions: Dog therapy is effective in improving the affective and behavioral aspects of institutionalized patients with dementia.

Non-technical skills (NTS) are social, cognitive and psychological skills that are related to safety and efficiency in the healthcare process. These skills have an important role in the intensive care once are closely related to the occurrence of safety incidents. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of NTS training programs in intensive care units using Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model, encompassing reaction, learning, behaviors, and organizational results. We conduct a systematic review of original articles in the following databases: Pubmed (Medline), Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, CINHAL (EBSCOhost), EMBASE (Elsevier), and PsycINFO. We include randomized clinical trials, quasi-experimental studies, and those employing a before-and-after design. Two pairs of independent reviewers selected and assessed the studies, with any discrepancies resolved by a fifth reviewer. Risk of bias and quality assessments were performed using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2, Risk of Bias in Non- randomized Studies of Interventions and Quality Assessment Tool developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Fourteen studies were included, with 11 employing a before-and-after design. Overall study quality was assessed as moderate or low. Simulation training was the main teaching strategy of the training programs. In the reaction dimension, participants (502 participants) generally perceived the training programs as beneficial, despite variations in teaching strategies. Only two studies evaluated the impact on the learning dimension (383 participants), with small improvements. A positive correlation was identified between the adoption of NTS training programs and improved teamwork (413 participants and 183 direct observations), situational awareness (444 participants and 183 direct observations), leadership (183 participants and 155 direct observations), and communication (183 participants and 1141 direct observations). Organizational results showed no significant changes in patient safety culture, length of stay or mortality rates (15776 patients). However, there was a reduction in response time to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and lower adjusted mortality and complications rates (7721 patients). The implementation of NTS training programs in intensive care units may improve healthcare professionals’ performance, especially in teamwork, situational awareness and communication. However, it is necessary to conduct more robust experimental studies to establish causality and explore broader impacts on patient safety and costs. CRD42021244769.

Adolescent dating violence has become a public health problem because of the associated high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite social awareness about dating violence, the high justification of violence among adolescents is one of the main risk factors for both perpetration and victimisation. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in reducing the justification of violence in adolescent dating. A quasi-experimental, longitudinal, prospective study with a control group was conducted. The study was carried out in six different schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain), and the participants were 854 students aged 14–18 years. The educational intervention was focused on reducing the justification of adolescent dating violence and consisted of 9 weekly 1 h group sessions. The Justification of Verbal/Coercive Tactics Scale (JVCT) and the Attitudes About Aggression in Dating Situations (AADS) survey were administered at baseline and at the end of the intervention in order to determine the justification of psychological and physical violence, respectively. At baseline, the justification of physical violence was at a medium-to-high level in boys (76.8%) and girls (56.7%), whereas psychological violence was much less justified. Concretely, female psychological violence was justified by 19.5% boys and 16.7% girls, while male violence was justified by 19.0% boys and 17.8% girls. After the educational intervention, a significant decrease in physical violence justification, especially in the AADS dimension of female aggression, was observed. The effect of the intervention was especially evident in psychological violence justification: a statistically significant difference was observed in the JVCT scores of boys (−6.4 and 1.3 points in the intervention and control groups, respectively; p = 0.031), but not of girls (p = 0.594). In conclusion, the educational intervention was adequate to reduce the justification of dating violence among the participants. It may provide adolescents with the skills and resources necessary to confront and resolve conflicts in relationships in a non-violent manner.

Publishing in JCR and SJR journals has become crucial for curricular development. Results from nursing investigations “compete” for publication in journals which are not specific to the field of care, affecting the academic development of these investigators. This phenomenon may lead to an ongoing adverse effect on nursing researchers and academics engaged in research in nursing care. The aim of this study was to evaluate habits regarding scientific literature consulting, the transfer of published material, and the citation of nursing investigations. A cross-sectional descriptive study by means of questionnaires was carried out, focusing on both Spanish and Portuguese nurses. The findings of the study reveal the following reasons for reading the scientific literature: that the language was understood; for learning and applying what was learnt; that the journal was of open access; for elaborating protocols and work procedures; and that the journal was indexed in scientific databases and in nursing databases. The reasons for reading, using, and publishing in journals were related to knowledge of the language and the associated usefulness of learning and applying knowledge. Creating a specific index of research publications in nursing will have a positive effect on the scientific production of caring methodologies.
