Objective: The objective was to design and validate a tool for assessing nursing students' self-perceptions about safe medication management.

Methods: A descriptive instrumental study was conducted involving construct definition, development of the tool, analysis of the content validity, and psychometric evaluation. Consensus regarding the content was obtained through a two-round Delphi process, and the resulting tool (the NURSPeM) was administered to nursing students to examine its internal consistency, temporal stability, and construct validity, the latter through exploratory factor analysis.

Fear and Attitude towards SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection in Spanish Population during the Period of Confinement.

In January 2020, the WHO classified SARS-CoV-2 infection as a public health emergency and it was declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020.

The effectiveness of a digital shared decision-making tool in hormonal contraception during clinical assessment: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial in Spain.

Background: Decision-making tools represent a paradigm shift in the relationship between the clinician and the user/patient. Some of their advantages include patient commitment, the promotion of preferences and values, and increased treatment adherence. This study protocol aims to assess the effectiveness of a decision-making tool in contraception (SHARECONTRACEPT) concerning: a) Improvement in counselling on hormonal contraception at the medical consultation, measured in terms of decreasing decisional conflict and improving knowledge of available contraceptive options; b) Improvement in adherence to treatment measured in terms of: persistence in the chosen treatment, compliance with dose or procedure of use, and ability to deal with incidents related to the use of the contraceptive method; and decreasing unwanted pregnancies and voluntary interruption of pregnancy.

Retrospective study of the evolution of the incidence of non-traumatic lower-extremity amputations (2007-2013) and risk factors of reamputation.

[Leeches in the intensive care unit: nursing care].

Leeches have been used in medicine since ancient times. Leeches or Hirudos were used to treat multiple diseases, since the bleeding they induce was related to purification. This practice subsequently fell into disuse until the 1980s when leeches again began to be applied in the treatment of venous congestion and in plastic and reconstructive surgery, especially in the USA and Germany.
