- 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.
- Assessment of levels of anxiety and fear of Covid-19 in a population of pregnant women in SpainPublication . Muñoz-Vela, Francisco Javier; Fernández-Carrasco, Francisco Javier; Gómez-Salgado, Juan; Allande-Cussó, Regina; Marques Monteiro Dias Mendes, Isabel Margarida; Costa, Emília Isabel; Vázquez-Lara, Juana María; Fagundo-Rivera, Javier; Rodríguez-Díaz, LucianoObjective: The aim of the study was to assess the levels of fear and anxiety in the particularly vulnerable population group of women during pregnancy.Methods: Cross-sectional study between March 2022 and July 2022 involving 978 pregnant women aged 16 to 50 years. It was carried out based on the scale for the assessment of fear and anxiety in pregnant women (AMICO_Pregnant) and the collection of sociodemographic data. Normality analysis was performed prior to univariate and bivariate statistical analysis.Results: The sample was composed of a total of 978 pregnant women. The mean of the AMICO_Pregnant scale was intermediate (5.04 points; SD=2.36). The bivariate analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between the AMICO_Pregnant scale and the following variables: vaccination schedule status, contact with the disease, weeks of gestation, altered delivery or birth plan.Conclusion: Women with pregnancies closer to term, with no contact with the disease, without a complete vaccination schedule, or who had undergone changes in their delivery or birth plans, showed higher levels of fear and anxiety.
- 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.
- The upshot of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on nursing assistants: evaluating mental health indicators in HuelvaPublication . Javier Gago Valiente, Francisco; Moreno-Sánchez, Emilia; Vélez-Moreno, Emilia; de los Ángeles Merino Godoy, María; Sáez Padilla, Jesús; Rodríguez-Miranda, Francisco P.; Costa, Emília; Saenz-de-la-Torre, Luis-Carlos; Segura-Camacho, Adrián; Mendoza-Sierra, María-IsabelHealthcare professionals who work in front-line situations are among those under the highest risk of presenting negative mental health indicators. We sought to assess the prevalence of low personal realization, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization as well as probable non-psychotic psychiatric pathologies during the pandemic in nursing assistants in the city of Huelva (Spain), and to study the association between these mental health indicators and sociodemographic and professional variables. A cross-sectional descriptive investigation with a quantitative approach was used. A representative sample of these professionals, consisting of 29 men and 284 women, completed the GHQ-12 questionnaire, including sociodemographic data and the MBI-HSS questionnaire, collecting information on situations of contact with SARS-CoV-2. Data analysis was conducted, and correlations were established. We found that emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and probable non-psychotic, psychiatric pathologies were related to contact with SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, personal realization, depersonalization and emotional exhaustion were related to just gender. We conclude that nursing assistants from public hospitals in the city of Huelva who had contact with patients with SARS-CoV-2 in the workplace, showed poor mental health indicators than those who did not come into contact with infected individuals.
