The use of drones for triage in mass-casualty incidents has recently emerged as a promising technology. However, there is no triage system specifically adapted to a remote usage. Our study aimed to develop a remote triage procedure using drones. The research was performed in three stages: literature review, the development of a remote triage algorithm using drones and evaluation of the algorithm by experts. Qualitative synthesis and the calculation of content validity ratios were done to achieve the Aerial Remote Triage System. This algorithm assesses (in this order): major bleeding, walking, consciousness and signs of life; and then classify the injured people into several priority categories: priority 1 (red), priority 2 (yellow), priority 3 (green) and priority * (violet). It includes the possibility to indicate save-living interventions to injured people and bystanders, like the compression of bleeding injuries or the adoption of the recovery position. The Aerial Remote Triage System may be a useful way to perform triage by drone in complex emergencies when it is difficult to access to the scene due to physical, chemical or biological risks.

The use of drones for the triage of victims in mass-casualty incidents has recently emerged as a promising technology. However, there is not a triage system really adapted to a remote usage. The objective of our study was to develop a remote triage procedure using drones. The research was performed in three stages: literature review, development of a remote triage algorithm using drones and evaluation of the algorithm by experts. A qualitative synthesis and the calculation of content validity ratios were done to achieve the Aerial Remote Triage System. The system assesses first major bleeding, second walking, third conscious (awake) and fourth sign of life; and classify the victims inside priority categories: priority 1 (red), priority 2 (yellow), priority 3 (green) and priority * (violet). It includes the possibility to indicate save-living interventions to victims and bystanders, like the compression of bleeding injuries or the recovery position. The Aerial Remote Triage System is valid in complex health emergencies when it is difficult or impossible an immediate access to the scene due to physical, chemical or biological risks. It can be useful to know vital information about the emergencies.

Purpose: Adolescence is considered a period in which individuals are particularly at risk of negative consequences related to sexual health. Increased knowledge levels have traditionally been used as an indicator of the effectiveness of educational programs, but attitudes are not addressed and are a key element for the success of such programs. The aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes toward the use of contraceptive methods among nursing students. A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out. In total, 2914 university students (aged 18–25 years) enrolled in the study. Participants completed two validated scales to measure knowledge level and attitudes toward contraceptive use. Nursing degree students who received training about contraceptives obtained a success rate of over 70%, compared to 15.3% among students who had not received such training (p < 0.001). The mean attitude score was 43.45 points (10–50), but there were no significant differences in terms of student training (p = 0.435), although they were significantly higher among students who used contraceptives at first or last sexual intercourse (p < 0.001). There was a significant weak correlation between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward the use of contraceptives. An adequate level of knowledge about sexuality and contraceptive methods does not correspond to positive attitudes toward their use, although having an excellent attitude toward contraceptive use is related to their use during youth and adolescence.

Objectives: Children are among the most vulnerable population groups with regard to environmental risks. Nursing students must be fully educated on children’s environmental health as they are in a key position to prevent and reduce the effects of environmental hazards. The main objective of this study was to adapt and validate an English language version of two questionnaires about children’s health and the environment, to assess the knowledge and skills of student nurses in England. Design: Observational cross-sectional study. Setting: A university in Southern England. Method: The study involves translating, adapting and validating the Children’s Environmental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (ChEHK-Q) and the Children’s Environmental Health Skills Questionnaire (ChEHS-Q) with nursing students in England ( N = 232). Results: The psychometric characteristics of both questionnaires were strong. Infit and outfit values were close to 1. The reliability values for the items and people were 0.96 and 0.79 for ChEHK-Q and 0.98 and 0.89 for ChEHS-Q, respectively. Only 52 (22.41%) and 77 (33.62%) participants had at least good knowledge and skills, respectively. Higher knowledge and skills were found with respect to the vulnerability of children and identification of environmental risks in the home. Lower levels of knowledge and skills were found with respect to the effects of pesticides and the assessment of neoplastic pollutants. Conclusion: Findings demonstrate deficiencies in nursing competencies related to children’s environmental health. The use of these questionnaires will facilitate improvement in both knowledge and skills related to children’s environmental health among future nurses.

Introduction Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain are common problems in patients undergoing surgery. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of using guided imagery prior to surgery in adults and children to reduce preoperative anxiety and acute postoperative pain, compared with conventional preoperative nursing care. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. We searched randomised clinical trials in databases and search engines. Results A total of 1101 records were identified, of which 21 were included in the qualitative synthesis. Two random model meta-analysis were performed with eight trials. Guided imagery preoperatively was shown to be effective in relieving preoperative state anxiety in children (d = −3.71), preoperative trait anxiety in adults (d = −0.64) and postoperative pain in adults (d = −0.24). Postoperative pain in children and preoperative state anxiety in adults was reduced but without significant difference. Conclusion Guided imagery preoperatively is an effective, easy and low-cost intervention.

The paediatric population is the most vulnerable to exposure to environmental risk factors. Institutions of higher education have to equip nursing students with the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to respond to this using blended learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of e-NurSus Children intervention on student nurses’ attitudes, knowledge, and skills. A quasi-experimental study of time series was designed using pre and post educational intervention evaluation in 2018. The participants were nursing students (N = 267) from Spain (n = 110) and the United Kingdom (n = 157). Three instruments were used: the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey, the Children’s Environmental Health Knowledge Questionnaire, and the Children’s Environmental Health Skills Questionnaire. The attitudes (15.81%), knowledge (39.02%), and skills (29.98%) of nursing students improved following the e-NurSus Children intervention. It is necessary to include topics on children’s environmental health in nurse education as students are aware of this issue but do not have the knowledge or skills required to manage problems or illness caused by the environment. The e-NurSus Children intervention is an effective tool to address this educational gap.

As a consequence of biological, psychological and social changes during puberty, youth is a period characterized by impulsiveness and risk-taking. Members of this population often feel invulnerable and have a strong motivation to explore their identity. A good level of knowledge is necessary to allow young people to experience their sexuality in a healthy way, without associated risks. In our environment there is currently no valid Spanish-language tool to measure the level of knowledge about sexuality and contraception. This study sought to develop and test the psychometric properties of a new sexuality and contraception knowledge instrument. This is a cross-sectional study to validate the sexuality and contraception knowledge instrument. The validation process followed four phases: (1) development of the instrument, (2) content validation by an expert panel, (3) pilot test and (4) psychometric analysis of the instrument using item response theory according to the Rasch model. The validation process took place from September 2017 to February 2018. The sample included 387 students enrolled at the Nursing and Law degrees from the University of Jaen. The final instrument was made up of 15 items. All of the items presented good adaptation values with respect to the model. The scale showed good fit and reliability: 0.99 for items and 0.74 for people. The temporal stability of the scale was calculated using test–retest, obtaining a value of 0.81 (CI 0.692–0.888). The construct validity showed the one-dimensionality of the construct, while the discriminant validity obtained good results, so the scale appears to be able to differentiate between participants with low or high levels of knowledge. The results suggest the Sexuality and Contraception Knowledge Instrument is psychometrically valid and reliable for measuring the knowledge level concerning sexuality and contraceptive methods in young university students.

Evaluar la efectividad de las intervenciones educativas dirigidas a prevenir el embarazo en la adolescencia. Revisión sistemática. Se consultaron las bases de datos PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden Plus, LILACS e IME para buscar estudios sobre intervenciones educativas para la prevención del embarazo en la adolescencia. Se seleccionaron un total de 24 investigaciones primarias, donde se evaluaba el efecto de un programa educativo para la prevención del embarazo en la adolescencia. La calidad de los estudios seleccionados se evaluó usando la escala CASPe. Los programas educativos que midieron una modificación de la tasa de embarazo en la adolescencia muestran resultados poco concluyentes, ya que 2 investigaciones obtienen una reducción y otros 2 no hallan cambios significativos. Sin embargo, los programas educativos se muestran efectivos para aumentar el nivel de conocimiento sobre sexualidad y métodos anticonceptivos, y para modificar las actitudes sobre el riesgo de embarazo en la adolescencia o las actitudes hacia el uso de los métodos anticonceptivos. No se encuentran diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los estudios que muestran un resultado positivo y los estudios con resultado negativo (p > 0,05) para ninguno de los resultados analizados en la revisión. No existe una modalidad de intervención que sea la más efectiva para la prevención de un embarazo en la adolescencia. Se necesita un mayor número de investigaciones con un abordaje longitudinal que valoren no solo resultados intermedios, sino una modificación en la tasa de embarazo. To assess the effectiveness of the interventions to prevent a pregnancy in adolescence. Systematic review. The following databases were consulted: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden Plus, LILACS, and IME, in order to identify interventions aimed at preventing a pregnancy in adolescence. A total of 24 primary investigations, in which an educational program to prevent a pregnancy in the adolescence was evaluated, were selected. The quality of the selected studies was assessed according to the CASPe scale. Educational programs for the modification of the teenage pregnancy rate show inconclusive results, as there are 2 studies that find a reduction, and 2 that find that there are no significant changes. For secondary outcomes, it was found that educational programs are effective for increasing the knowledge level about sexuality and contraceptive methods and changing attitudes about the risk of a teenage pregnancy or the use of contraceptive methods. There are no statistically significant differences between the studies with a positive and negative outcome (P > .05) for any of the results analysed in this review. There is no a single intervention modality that is the most effective for prevention of a teenage pregnancy. More research is needed with a longitudinal approach that assess not only intermediate results, but also a modification in the pregnancy rate.

Nurses are in a privileged position to detect environmental risks among children. The objective was to determine attitudes, knowledge, and skills related to children's environmental health in undergraduate nursing students. A cross-sectional study was designed in eight universities (n = 2,462) from September 2017 to June 2018. Descriptive values and multivariate analysis of variance were calculated using three questionnaires. Of the total 2,462 students in the sample, 2,155 had a good attitude regarding addressing children's environmental health problems, 501 had good knowledge, and 1,162 had good skills. Students who had attended a session on sustainability more than 3 months prior had a better attitude (9.93%), knowledge (11.16%), and skills (3.82%). Second course students and men had better environmental competency (p < .001). Undergraduate nursing students have good attitudes; however, they lack knowledge and skills. There is a need to include children's environmental health in nursing curricula. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(7):401-408.].

Climate change has an important impact on health, particularly in children. Therefore, the inclusion of environmental issues in the undergraduate nursing curriculum is essential. Knowledge and skills in environmental sustainability can be measured through questionnaires. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Children's Environmental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (ChEHK-Q) and the Children's Environmental Health Skills Questionnaire (ChEHS-Q) to measure knowledge and skills, respectively, about children's environmental health in nursing students. This was an observational, cross-sectional study undertaken in four phases: (1) Development of the questionnaire and item wording, (2) content validation by an expert panel, (3) pilot test and (4) psychometric evaluation. A Faculty of Health Sciences in Spain. 308 nursing students enrolled in the first, third and fourth years of study. The development and validation of the children's environmental health questionnaires was carried out based on the item response theory. The 26-item ChEHK-Q shows good fit and reliability of 0.98 for items and 0.70 for people based on the Rasch Model. The 12-item ChEHS-Q also shows good fit and reliability of 0.87 for items and 0.76 for people based on Andrich's rating scale model. The temporal stability measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.86 in the ChEHK-Q and 0.73 in the ChEHS-Q. Both questionnaires present enough evidence for construct validity; they work well to distinguish between nursing students with low or high knowledge of or skills in children's environmental health. The Children's Environmental Health Knowledge Questionnaire and the Children's Environmental Health Skills Questionnaire are useful tools for measuring knowledge and skills, respectively, among nursing students. This validation study obtained good psychometric properties concerning validity and reliability.

Resumen Fundamentos: Las enfermeras deben ser conocedoras de cómo afecta el cambio climático a la salud. Para la obtención de estos conocimientos es necesario definir las competencias a adquirir y las estrategias pedagógicas que afronten la sostenibilidad medioambiental en la formación de Enfermería. Objetivo: Describir las dimensiones que debe incluir la formación enfermera en materia de sostenibilidad medioambiental, cambio climático y cuidados de salud y determinar las estrategias pedagógicas más adecuadas. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa de publicaciones sobre sostenibilidad medioambiental en relación a enfermería y cuidados de salud de los últimos 10 años. Se diseñaron estrategias de búsqueda para quince bases de datos de enfermería y ciencias de la salud. Los resultados se sistematizaron en matrices de datos. Resultados: La formación enfermera en sostenibilidad medioambiental debe incluir contenidos sobre globalización, impacto ambiental, promoción de salud, uso de recursos y gestión adecuada de residuos, alimentos e influencias de los procesos de producción, los efectos del tabaquismo y los efectos ambientales en la salud de la infancia. Los enfoques educativos más adecuados para incluir la sostenibilidad medioambiental en la formación enfermera son la Investigación-Acción Participativa y el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Conclusiones: La formación enfermera en materia de sostenibilidad medioambiental debe incluir competencias en diferentes niveles: en lo individual, comprendiendo los fundamentos y el alcance del problema y actuando consecuentemente en el ámbito profesional y en el personal, y en el plano social, Enfermería tiene un papel clave en la promoción de la salud medioambiental.
