Families are the primary caregivers and the main source of support for their children. Family resilience involves coping and adapting to stressful situations. This study explored the impact of previous treatment experience on parental resilience, in families, as well as the relationship between family history of communication and language disorders and parental stress. These variables were assessed through the Resilience Scale and the Parental Stress Index in parents of 220 children aged 3 to 6 years attending mainstream schools and early intervention (EI) centers in Caceres (Spain). The results revealed significant differences in resilience between parents who had received previous treatments and those who had not (p = 0.11). Furthermore, a significant association was found between having no family history of communication and language disorders and the Dysfunctional Parent–Child Interaction subscale from the Parental Stress Index (U = −2.079, p = 0.038). These findings highlight the relevance of previous experience in EI to build family resilience as resilient parents are more likely to be actively involved in their children’s education and create a supportive environment. Thus, promoting resilience in educational settings may have positive effects on children’s and families’ quality of life during the EI process.

Background: Burns are a common and severe medical emergency requiring immediate specialized care to minimize damage and prevent complications. Burn severity depends on depth, extent, and location, with more complex care needed for burns on critical areas or extensive burns. Nursing is essential in burn management, providing immediate care, adapting treatments, managing pain, preventing infections, and offering emotional support for recovery. The study aims to analyse the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of burns treated at the Hospital Emergency Department of the Hospital Complex of Cáceres (Spain) from January 2018 to December 2022. It looks at factors like gender, age, hospital stay duration, emergency type (paediatric or adult), main diagnosis, skin thickness, burn degree, affected body areas, percentage of body surface area burned, and treatment types. It also investigates how treatment varies by gender, age, skin thickness, and burn severity. The relevance of this research lies in the fact that periodic epidemiological studies are essential to monitor changes in diseases, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, detect outbreaks quickly, update knowledge on risk factors, and guide health policy decisions. This ensures an adapted and effective response to the needs of the population. Methods: Retrospective, observational study that analysed burn cases treated at the Hospital Complex of Cáceres (Spain) 2018–2022. Inclusion criteria were based on ICD-10 codes for burns, excluding severe cases not treated in this service. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Student’s t-tests, Chi-square tests, and ANOVA. Results: 220 patients surveyed, with a mean age of 47 years and 60.9% male. Most burns (95.5%) affected the external body surface, with a mean hospital stay of 7.86 days. Medical treatment was provided to 75.5% of patients, and 24.5% required surgical intervention. Significant differences in treatment procedures were observed according to age, skin thickness, and burn degree. Older patients had more procedures and longer hospital stays. Excision and transfer procedures were more common in full-thickness and severe burns. Conclusions: The findings align with previous research on burn demographics and treatment approaches. Treatment differences by age and burn severity highlight the need for tailored interventions. The study underscores the importance of comprehensive burn management, including psychological support for improved long-term outcomes. Further research could explore the impact of socio-economic factors on burn incidence and treatment. This study was not registered.

Background: University degrees offer theoretical content specific to each discipline, in addition to transversal skills that are fundamental for effective learning management and future work performance. The aim of this study is to analyze the perceptions of students of different university degrees in health sciences about the training received. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study was conducted to conduct a survey in the different university programs. A questionnaire was specifically designed to ascertain the students perception of their practical training, communication skills, and teamwork. The sample recruitment strategy was implemented with a focus on the autonomous community of Castilla y León in Spain. The sampling method employed was convenience sampling, with nonprobabilistic recruitment techniques utilized. Descriptive statistics were utilized to present the different variables. The reliability of the Likert-type items was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, and the variables were analyzed using the Kruskal–-Wallis test to detect differences between degree and course groups. Results: A sample of 134 students was obtained, of which 78.4% were women. The assessment of the content obtained yielded average scores ranging from 2.92 to 3.9, indicating a satisfactory level of satisfaction. The Kruskal–Wallis test yielded significant results for the question regarding the perception of communication skills training with the patient as sufficient ( P = 0.019). The Likert-type items exhibited adequate internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.785. Conclusions: The content was present, but due to the characteristics of the sample, significant differences between the degrees could not be detected.

Background: Soft skills are essential for effective practice in healthcare professions but are often underrepresented in university curricula. Limited evidence exists regarding Spanish health science students’ perceptions and educational needs in this domain. Objective: To assess self-perceived soft skills and identify associated educational gaps among Spanish healthcare undergraduates. Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a custom Likert-scale questionnaire among 134 students from various health science degrees. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric group comparisons (Kruskal–Wallis test) were performed. Results: Most participants expressed strong agreement with their choice of profession and recognized the relevance of clinical roles. However, moderate self-assessment was reported for leadership (median = 4) and public speaking skills (median = 3). Increased stress was attributed to university demands and placements, with 41.8% rating stress as moderate and significant differences evident by academic year (p = 0.026 for professional qualification; p = 0.048 for stress during placements). Conclusions: Spanish healthcare undergraduates value soft skills yet report moderate proficiency in leadership, communication, and stress management. Further research is required to be able to make claims and recommendations on this content.
