Gender-based violence (GBV) is a serious global public health problem that becomes aggravated during public health emergencies that involve quarantine measures. It is important to train nursing students on GBV, especially in vulnerable situations, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of our study is to explore the perceptions of third-year nursing students about simulated nursing video consultations for providing assistance to potential cases of GBV victims using a high-fidelity clinical simulation methodology. After all of the simulated scenarios were completed, 48 scripted interviews were carried out following a guide composed of four open-ended questions to facilitate in-depth discussion. A descriptive qualitative study based on the interpretative paradigm was conducted. The nursing students indicated that they improved their knowledge on GBV victim management (mainly their awareness of the problem, recognition of the role of nursing professionals, and performance of non-technical skills), although they also mentioned the need for continuous training (particularly in socio-emotional skills, interview techniques, a holistic nursing care approach, and not presupposing). This innovative high-fidelity simulation methodology allows nursing students to improve their awareness of the GBV problem, acquire a realistic view about their role in addressing GBV, and build their non-technical skills (such as active listening, communication skills, empathy, and generating confidence) required to adequately care for victims of GBV.

Eating disorders are a growing societal problem, especially among young people. This study aims to determine the individual and social factors that support and perpetuate the risk of eating disorders (ED) and their possible consequences on an individual’s athletic and academic performances. The sample consisted of 395 athletes between 12 and 16 years of age (M = 14.07; SD = 1.35), of whom 142 (35.9%) were female, and 253 (64.1%) were male. A questionnaire was administered to collect information on sociodemographic data, body image, use of social networks, social relationships, sports practice, risk of developing ED, and academic and sports performance. In the resulting analysis, an initial cross-tabulation was carried out to observe the body distortion of the respondents as a function of BMI, followed by a linear regression to analyze the factors influencing the risk of suffering from ED. In addition, correlations were made to determine the relationship between the risk of manifesting ED and academic and sports performance. The main results show that 77.7% of the young athletes present a risk of ED (M = 13.3; DT = 3.33) due to a high body image distortion, which becomes the determining factor. In addition, relationships with family and friends have a significant influence on this. On the other hand, behaviors related with eating disorders affect concentration (r = −0.122; p = 0.01) and fatigue (r = −0.376; p < 0.01). For all these reasons, generating and promoting prevention and early detection guidelines during adolescence is necessary.

Background: Social media platforms are integrated into the lives of students. Their use in education has been studied, but this research is scarce in nursing. The objective of this study was to develop and validate the questionnaire “Use and views of the social media for nursing education” through a pilot study, to describe the use and attitudes of nursing students to social media. Methods: Cross-sectional design to validate the modified scale “Students’ Use and Views of the Social Media questionnaire.” The sample consisted of 107 undergraduate nursing students. Results: The factor analysis extracted three main components to explain social media use for nursing education, with component 1 being the “Need to use media in my professional training,” component 2—“To deepen my professional knowledge” and component 3 “Contrast information.” High reliability was demonstrated with Chronbach’s alpha value (0.84). Conclusion: The final tool was proven to have high validity and reliability values, so it is positioned as a viable tool to explore this reality. Students use social media for education in a high proportion and have positive attitudes regarding their education inclusion.

The disease as an ethnographic entity in non-native populations has marked epidemiological interest for health systems. It is not until the second decade of the 21st century that the configuration of these systems as elements that condition care for the illness of immigrants in the host society is delved into. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to address a conceptual framework for understanding the structural characteristics of health systems as hegemonic health care models for the provision of services to the foreign and immigrant population. To this end, a narrative bibliographic review was designed based on the following research question: “What elements of European health models intervene in the configuration of access and consumption of health services in the immigrant population?” The bibliographic search was carried out in databases and repositories using natural and structured language. To purify the records, inclusion and exclusion criteria were stated and a thematic analysis of the texts was concluded, obtaining the following theoretical categories as main results: health models and migratory movements, health structures versus migration policies and the cultural construct of the immigrant as a consumer of services. As the main conclusion, we highlight that research that covers the field of study of migration and health must delve into the most organizational aspects of health systems as models of care, to understand the impregnation in them of both assimilationist and integrative policies towards the immigrants.

El objetivo de este artículo es conocer la visión, tanto de los usuarios como de los profesionales, sobre determinados aspectos de la gestión del Sistema Nacional Español de Salud (SNS), especialmente, en la atención a la diversidad. Para ello, se analiza el modelo de acceso al sistema, los recursos empleados en la atención y la demanda sanitaria que realizan los inmigrados asentados en Andalucía (España). Los datos se han obtenido a partir de la realización de 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas a inmigrantes y otras 7 a profesionales del sistema andaluz de salud. Además, el trabajo de campo está complementado por una observación directa, durante un año, del uso de los servicios públicos de salud. Los resultados muestran, primero, que a pesar de que los inmigrantes tienen un acceso universal a la atención sanitaria, deben sortear una serie de barreras administrativas, lingüísticas y culturales que impiden un uso totalmente satisfactorio. Límites que son eludidos, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, a través de las redes sociales. Segundo, los recursos utilizados no se han adaptado a las necesidades específicas de la población inmigrada, como son la acumulación del bien salud, valoración subjetiva sobre bien salud y las agresiones o deterioros que sufre el bien salud. Y, tercero, el uso que hacen los inmigrados del sistema de salud no difiere del realizado por los autóctonos tanto en la frecuencia, como en la patología.
