Development and validation of a new satisfaction scale for objective structured clinical assessments (S-OSCA): A multicenter cross-sectional study.

Background: Nursing clinical competence assessment has acquired a special relevance at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in recent years. In this context, the Objective Structured Clinical Assessment (OSCA) has emerged as a valid and feasible method of assessing nursing competence. The Satisfaction with Nursing Skill Examination: Objective Structured Clinical Assessment (SINE-OSCA) scale is a valid and reliable 10-item measure that has been developed to evaluate nursing students' satisfaction with the OSCA in the Australian context.

Validation of the Collett-Lester fear of death scale in occupational therapy students: psychometric testing and implications for palliative care education.

Background: The fear of death is a common experience among healthcare students and professionals that may impact the quality of care provided to patients, particularly those receiving palliative care. The Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale is a widely used instrument to assess this fear, although its psychometric properties have not been extensively studied in Occupational Therapy students. The present study aimed to validate the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (CL-FODS) in a sample of Occupational Therapy students and to explore its implications for palliative care education.

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Family Nursing Practice Scale (FNPS) for use with Spanish-speaking Nursing Degree students.

Aim: The task proposed was to conduct a cultural adaptation of the Family Nursing Practice Scale and to assess the psychometric properties of the resulting instrument.

Background: Nursing students must obtain sufficient personal competence and confidence to act with patients and their families. For this purpose, an assessment scale is needed to inform teachers of the student's progress and to determine whether further training or changes in teaching methods are required.

Instruments for assessing health professionals' skills in breaking bad news: protocol for a systematic review of measurement properties.

Introduction: Health professionals are often involved in the process of breaking bad news (BBN), which remains a difficult challenge, as it requires not only theoretical knowledge, but also the development of humanistic, emotional and communication skills. Therefore, optimal BBN assessment is essential. In this regard, sound measurement instruments are needed to evaluate BBN properly in research, teaching and clinical settings.

Quality of Life, Physical and Mental Health of Family Caregivers of Dependent People with Complex Chronic Disease: Protocol of a Cohort Study.

Background: informal caregivers have a high risk of suffering from diseases derived from the chronic stress to which they are subjected for their dedication to the care of their relatives. Such stress has a direct influence on the person cared for, mainly affecting the quality of their care. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to assess the association of caregiving on physical and mental perceived health in family caregivers of dependent adults with complex chronic diseases.

Adverse events encountered during clinical placements by undergraduate nursing students in Spain.

Background: During clinical placements, nursing students are exposed to adverse events generated by the clinical tasks they must perform.

Objectives: To describe the profile of adverse events encountered and the risks facing nursing students in clinical practice, as well as the severity and incidence of these events.

Design: Observational retrospective longitudinal study.

Quality of Life and Health Services Utilization for Spanish Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Purpose: To examine the health-related quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and its relationship with their use of health resources, taking into account sociodemographic factors concerning the family context.

Design And Methods: Cross-sectional study of children with cerebral palsy in Granada (Spain). Quality of life was evaluated with PedsQL questionnaire.

Health-Related Quality of Life and Use of Hospital Services by Patients with Heart Failure and Their Family Caregivers: A Multicenter Case-Control Study.

Background: Heart failure (HF) causes high rates of hospital admissions. It is known that disease progression impacts the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of both patients and caregivers, yet to date, this finding is based on cross-sectional studies with limited samples.

Objectives: The study aim is to analyze the relationship between HF patients' use of hospital services (a proxy for disease progression) and the HRQoL of their family caregivers.

Attitudes Toward Organ Donation: Differences Between Medical and Nursing Andalusian Students.

Introduction: A favorable attitude toward organ donation and transplantation (ODT) is fundamental among health professionals at the time of transplant promotion. In this sense, the training and awareness of professionals are fundamental.

Objective: To analyze the differences in the attitude toward ODT and the factors that condition it among Andalusian medical and nursing students.

A scoping review of safety management during clinical placements of undergraduate nursing students.

Background: The abundant knowledge on nursing students' competencies in clinical safety, and the multiple approaches adopted make it difficult to obtain an overview of the current status of this question.

Purpose: To review the literature on undergraduate nursing students' safety competencies during their clinical placements.

Method: A scoping review was carried out.

Undergraduate Nursing Students' Attitudes, Knowledge, and Skills Related to Children's Environmental Health.

Background: 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.

Method: A cross-sectional study was designed in eight universities (n = 2,462) from September 2017 to June 2018.

Validation of the Spanish version of the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale for older people with dementia.

Aims: To adapt the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale (EdFED) for use in a Spanish-speaking population and to assess its validity and reliability in patients with dementia.

Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in two stages: 1. Cross-cultural adaptation (translation, back-translation, review by committee of experts, pilot test and weighting of results); 2.

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric in nursing students in Spain.

Background: The clinical judgment and decision-making abilities of nurses can influence many health outcomes, hence the importance of addressing these qualities in university studies. In this respect, clinical simulation is a commonly employed teaching method. The evaluation of simulation activities requires standardised instruments, such as the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric, which is widely used for this purpose, although a culturally adapted and validated version in Spain is not available.

Hydroxytyrosyl alkyl ether derivatives inhibit platelet activation after oral administration to rats.

The low lipophilicity of hydroxytyrosol (HT) has motivated efforts to synthesize homologous series with better lipid solubility, such as the ethers, which are more lipophilic than HT. Because HT inhibits platelet aggregation, the aim of the study was to assess the possible anti-platelet effect of five HT ether derivatives (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl and dodecyl) after oral administration to rats. Whole blood collagen-induced platelet aggregation and calcium-induced thromboxane B2 (TxB2), aortic 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) and nitrites+nitrates, plasma concentration of lipid peroxides (TBARS) and red blood cell content of reduced glutathione (GSH) were measured.

Cytoprotective effect of hydroxytyrosyl alkyl ether derivatives after oral administration to rats in a model of glucose-oxygen deprivation in brain slices.

This study was designed to determine whether the oral administration of hydroxytyrosol (HT) alkyl ether derivatives has a neuroprotective effect in rats. The animals were treated for 7 days with HT or ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, and dodecyl HT ether. A method of in vitro hypoxia-reoxygenation in brain slices was used.
