- An App about healthy habits as an educational resource during the pandemicPublication . Merino-Godoy, María de los Ángeles; Moreno-Sánchez, Emilia; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-Javier; Costa, Emília Isabel; Sáez-Padilla, JesúsEducational institutions and their agents play a fundamental role in improving people’s health literacy and quality of life. We intend here to describe and justify an educational resource embodied in an application for mobile devices developed through a subsidized project by the Ministry of Health (Government of Andalusia); the purpose of this app is to educate young people in healthy habits. The application was designed to be easily used in both smartphones and tablets with the aim of achieving good physical, psychological and social health. The project comprises several phases and the results we have so far show that, from an early age, health institutions and educational settings must work in partnership, increasing health literacy levels. This cooperative work combined with the use of this innovative approach presents an important potential for change in the lifestyles of younger generations. This type of intervention took on a special role in the pandemic context, allowing for the maintenance of the educational stimulus in a safe context.

Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; da Costa, Emilia; Gómez Salas, Marianela; Pavón Lara, Alba; Carretero Bernal, Nicolás; Macías Domínguez, Beatriz; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-Javier; Verónica V. Márquez-HernándezIntroduction. Nursing education involves a robust blend of theory and hands-on practice, crucial for cultivating the intricateabilities required to safely progress from being a student to becoming a profcient nursing professional. Tis training process wasdisrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic when the imposition of lockdowns compelled the transition of classes from in-person toonline formats. Aim. Tis study aimed to assess the challenges in clinical training for nursing students during the COVID-19pandemic, specifcally examining how reductions in hands-on clinical practice have impacted their job satisfaction upon enteringthe workforce. Methods. It was an exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, using the Font Roja Questionnaire on jobsatisfaction as an instrument for data collection. Te population was made up of Spanish nurses who graduated in 2020, 2021, and2022. Results. Te sample consisted of 390 nurses, 81.5% female, averaging 24.35 years old, with 76% having missed at least onemonth of clinical practice during their training. We found signifcant levels of dissatisfaction with job pressure and professionalcompetence (52.3% and 40.8%, respectively). Statistically signifcant diferences were found between gender, job pressure, year ofgraduation, and professional competence. Conclusion. Te loss of clinical practice periods, a vital element in nursing education,has infuenced the early careers of these nurses, particularly afecting certain aspects of their job satisfaction such as job pressureand professional competence.
- Elevating elderly Cancer care: a systematic review of advanced practice nursing's role in senior oncology patients' quality of lifePublication . Useche-Guerrero, Cristian-David; Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; Barroso-Márquez, Eva-María; Costa, Emília Isabel; Camacho Bejarano, Rafaela; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-JavierBackground. According to projections based on current trends, it can be anticipated that from 2024 onward, approximately 70% of all cancer cases will be diagnosed in individuals 65 years and older. Given this complex intersection between population ageing and cancer incidence, it is of great importance to address this issue from a comprehensive care perspective. Here comes the importance of advanced practice nurse into play. However, this fgure is still not sufciently valued in many countries. Its roles are also not clearly defned at the international level. For this reason, a systematic review of the scientifc literature was carried out to analyze the impact of advanced practice nurse on the quality of life of older adults with cancer. Methods. Searches were carried out in PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS, and ScienceDirect databases. Tey were limited to studies conducted in the last 7 years. Only open-access articles were selected. To analyze the chosen articles and assess their quality, the criteria of the PRISMA and CASPe statements were applied. All authors participated in both the selection of the articles and their analysis. Results. Of the initial 58 articles selected, a total of 10 articles were fnally included, as they met the eligibility criteria established after further analysis. Te results show a positive relationship between the advanced practice nurse intervention and quality of life in older adults with cancer. Conclusions. Advanced practice nurse (APN) plays a key role in the care of older adults with cancer, signifcantly improving their quality of life and contributing to the comprehensive care of these patients. Te fndings evidenced in this work support the integration of APNs in cancer care teams to improve patient experience and overall well-being.

- The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on non-medical workers constantly interacting with patientsPublication . Gago-Valiente, Francisco-Javier; Mariscal-Pérez, Laura; Campo-Jiménez, Angela del; Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; Mendoza-Sierra, María-Isabel; da Costa, Emilia; Moreno-Sánchez, EmiliaAs medical staff, orderlies are at danger of showing negative signs of psychological health. They are exposed to many stresses that may have a negative impact on their personal lives, and they have also been subjected to the difficult condition of COVID-19 in their workplace. However, since they are not considered to be medical professionals, very few studies and interventions are focused on them. The aim of the present research was to detect the interactions among the work and family environments, as well as to analyze self-perceived mental health and burnout in people who worked as orderlies during the pandemic in public healthcare centers in Huelva (Spain), considering a set of sociodemographic variables. The field work was conducted between April and June 2020. Systematic random sampling was carried out. Information from 84 contributors was gathered through the SWING, MBI-HSS, and GHQ-12 forms. Univariate and bivariate analyzes and correlation tests were carried out. The data were analyzed and correlations were established. The majority of the participants obtained a negative interaction result of work over family. Those who had had contact with SARS-CoV-2 situations presented greater proportions of positive outcome in GHQ-12, bad work-family interaction, burnout, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. The men presented a worse general mental health state than the women. Orderlies of Huelva who have had contact with COVID-19 in their workplace present worse indicators of psychological health and greater negative interaction of work over family than those who have not had any contact with these circumstances.
- Navigating perceived stress: experiences of nursing students completing internships during the COVID-19 Pandemic in SpainPublication . Merino-Godoy, María-Ángeles; Aceijas, Zaida Montero; Martín, María Cano; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-Javier; Abengozar, lberto Vega; Padilla, Juan María Pérez; da Costa, EmiliaUniversity students often experience psychological strains such as academic stress, particularly as they approach the transition into the workforce. This stress may have been heightened for nursing students who completed internships during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the perceived stress levels of undergraduate nursing students. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted using the Spanish version of the PSS-10 scale, a validated reduction of the English version PSS-14, to evaluate perceived stress. The responses are Likert-type with a total score range of 0 to 40. Questionnaires were distributed electronically to nursing students across all academic years who were engaged in clinical practice. Participation was voluntary. Results: The study included 487 students, the majority of whom were women (78.4%) with an average age of 23.51 years. Most participants were in their third and fourth years (67%). The mean perceived stress score was 20.65 (SD = 5.62) out of a possible 40, indicating moderate stress levels. Statistically significant differences in perceived stress were found between genders, with women reporting higher stress levels than men (Mann-Whitney U = 15,380.000; p < 0.001). Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between the overall perceived stress score and gender, as well as between specific items on the PSS-10 scale and gender, highlighting the importance of gender-specific stress management interventions. Conclusions: Nursing students reported moderate levels of perceived stress, with women experiencing higher stress levels than men. These findings highlight the need for targeted stress management interventions for nursing students, especially during health crises. Addressing gender-specific stressors and fostering a supportive educational environment will enhance students' well-being, academic success, and professional preparedness.
- Nursing education during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: assessment of students’ satisfaction with e-Learning environmentPublication . Moreno-Sánchez, Emilia; Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; Piñero-Claros, Sara; Santiago-Sánchez, Alba; Del-Campo-Jiménez, Ángela; Mariscal-Pérez, Laura; Rodríguez-Miranda, Francisco de Paula; Costa, Emília Isabel; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-JavierThe disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus led to the disruption of normality with respect to education, public healthcare and new technologies. Education is a fundamental pillar to increase the knowledge and morale of people. However, due to the lockdown implemented to protect the population from an infection of unknown aetiology, the education system decided to switch from face-to-face education to virtual education. This modality has affected the teaching–learning process in the Degree of Nursing, since its competencies and knowledge demand in-presence learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact that telematic education had on students of the Degree of Nursing who were studying in the final year of said degree, which involves their imminent entry into the labour market. We used the client satisfaction questionnaire of Bob Hayes to gather data and analyse the satisfaction level of the nursing students. As a result, a considerable amount of information was obtained about teaching, which shows the absence of practical activities and the lack of information about safety and protection measures related to the pandemic. Most educators themselves were struggling to understand the implications of the virus and implement appropriate safety measures, since there was quite a bit of conflicting information relating to the effectiveness of personal protective safety equipment and the lifespan of the virus on various media outside of the host. It is, therefore, not surprising that education for students in this regard was lacking. In general, most of the students showed dissatisfaction with the virtual education they received.
- Work–family interaction, self-perceived mental health and burnout in specialized physicians of Huelva (Spain): a study conducted during the SARS-CoV-2 PandemicPublication . Gago-Valiente, Francisco-Javier; Moreno-Sánchez, Emilia; Santiago-Sánchez, Alba; Gómez-Asencio, David; Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; Castillo-Viera, Estefanía; Costa, Emília Isabel; Segura-Camacho, Adrián; Saenz-de-la-Torre, Luis-Carlos; Mendoza-Sierra, María-IsabelBackground: The medical staff who work in specialized healthcare are among the professionals with a greater risk of presenting negative indicators of mental health. These professionals are exposed to numerous sources of stress that can have a negative influence on their personal life. Currently, SARS-CoV-2 poses an additional and relevant source of stress. The aim of this study was to identify the interactions between the work and family environments, as well as to analyze self-perceived mental health and burnout in physicians who, during the COVID-19 pandemic, carried out their jobs in public health in Huelva (Spain), also considering a series of sociodemographic variables. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Information from 128 participants was collected using the SWING, MBI-HSS and GHQ-12 questionnaires, along with sociodemographic data and possible situations of contact with SARS-CoV-2. The data were analyzed, and correlations were established. Results: Most of the sample obtained a positive interaction result of work over family. Those who had been in contact with SARS-CoV-2 represented higher percentages of a positive result in GHQ-12, negative work–family interaction, burnout, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. In general, the men showed a worse mental health state than women. Conclusions: The medical staff of Huelva who had been in contact with situations of SARS-CoV-2 in their work environment presented worse indicators of mental health and greater negative interaction of work over family than those who had not been in contact with these situations.
