Translation and Validation for the Portuguese Population of the Bedside Handover Attitudes and Behaviors Questionnaire.

Purpose: The Bedside Handover Attitudes and Behaviors questionnaire is a 32-item instrument originally developed in English that enables nurse managers to monitor the consistency of nurses' practice during the implementation of the Nursing Bedside Handover. We aimed to cross-culturally validate this questionnaire for the Portuguese population and to examine its psychometric properties.

Methods: An exploratory-descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional, and validation study was conducted.

Proposed therapeutic and care approach in a patient with chronic prurigo: Clinical case.

We present the clinical case of an 87-year-old man who presents with chronic prurigo without skin treatment. The aim is to apply an individualized care plan that allows, based on the latest evidence, to achieve skin integrity, which is deteriorated, and improve its quality of life due to the current failure toad dress the pathology. Several NANDA International diagnostic labels were identified using the NNNConsult online tool and the expected outcomes were plan along with the planned nursing interventions.

Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of Measurement Instruments: A Practical Guideline for Novice Researchers.

Cross-cultural validation of self-reported measurement instruments for research is a long and complex process, which involves specific risks of bias that could affect the research process and results. Furthermore, it requires researchers to have a wide range of technical knowledge about the translation, adaptation and pre-test aspects, their purposes and options, about the different psychometric properties, and the required evidence for their assessment and knowledge about the quantitative data processing and analysis using statistical software. This article aimed: 1) identify all guidelines and recommendations for translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation within the healthcare sciences; 2) describe the methodological approaches established in these guidelines for conducting translation, adaptation, and cross-cultural validation; and 3) provide a practical guideline featuring various methodological options for novice researchers involved in translating, adapting, and validating measurement instruments.

Effectiveness of gamification in nursing degree education.

Background: Previous research in nursing has found favorable results from the use of teaching methodologies alternative to lectures. One of the complementary methodologies used for university teaching is gamification, or the inclusion of game elements, creating a dynamic learning environment that allows the acquisition of knowledge and the development of other skills necessary for nursing students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a gamification session on student satisfaction and knowledge scores in nursing students in simulated laboratory practice.

Evaluation of the Use of Project-Based Learning in the Nursing Degree.

Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching methodology that allows students to acquire knowledge and competencies through the completion of projects that respond to real-life problems. The aims of this study were to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of students of the Aging Nursing subject through a PBL-based intervention and determine the degree of student satisfaction with the use of this methodology. A mixed, quasi-experimental, pre-post study was conducted without a control group using an educational intervention based on PBL and descriptive phenomenology with content analysis of the experiences reported after it.

Effectiveness of Guided Breathing and Social Support for the Reduction of Pre-Exam Anxiety in University Students: A Factorial Study.

Anxiety is a state of mind that university students often manifest in exam situations, which can negatively impact their grades. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different relaxation techniques, including guided breathing and social support, on test anxiety among nursing students a few minutes before taking the final knowledge assessment test. For this purpose, a factorial study with a post-intervention measurement was carried out with three groups of nursing students.

Drone Applications for Emergency and Urgent Care: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: In recent years, the use of drones in health emergencies has increased. Among their main benefits are avoiding endangering rescuers, travelling long distances in a short time, or contacting victims in risky situations; but despite their multiple advantages, their use has not been fully demonstrated.

Study Objective: This study aims to identify the available evidence on the use of drones in emergency health care compared to traditional health care.

Undergraduate nursing students' knowledge of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias care.

Background: The increase in the number of people with Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) will results in an increased need for nurses with up-to-date knowledge of ADRD and who are well-educated in ADRD care. Therefore, it is important to be sure that this topic is covered in the undergraduate nursing curriculum.

Purpose: To assess undergraduate nursing students' knowledge of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias care.

The Role of Antioxidants on Wound Healing: A Review of the Current Evidence.

(1) Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in the preparation of the normal wound healing response. Therefore, a correct balance between low or high levels of ROS is essential. Antioxidant dressings that regulate this balance are a target for new therapies.

Development of the Aerial Remote Triage System using drones in mass casualty scenarios: A survey of international experts.

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.

Development and validation of the Pressure Injury Prevention Barriers questionnaire in hospital nurses in Spain.

Objective: To develop and validate a new questionnaire to measure the nurses' perceptions of the barriers towards the prevention of pressure injuries (PIs) at hospitals.

Design: Validation study with mixed methods.

Setting: Four university hospitals in southern Spain.

Attitudes of Spanish Nurses towards Pressure Injury Prevention and Psychometric Characteristics of the Spanish Version of the APuP Instrument.

The prevention of pressure injuries in hospitalised patients is a critical point of care related to patient safety. Nurses play a key role in pressure injury (PI) prevention, making it important to assess not only their knowledge but also their attitude towards prevention. The main purpose of this study was to translate into Spanish and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Attitude towards Pressure ulcer Prevention instrument (APuP); a secondary aim was to explore the associations of attitude with other factors.

Validation of the Pressure Injury Prevention Knowledge questionnaire in nursing students: Rasch analysis.

Objective: The aim of our study is to measure the knowledge of nursing students at the University of Jaén about evidence-based recommendation for the prevention of pressure injuries.

Method: A cross-sectional observational and validation study was carried in 2019, using an online survey. All the students registered on the Nursing Degree programme of the University of Jaén were invited to participate.

Antioxidant dressing therapy versus standard wound care in chronic wounds (the REOX study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: A wound that does not heal in the orderly stages of the healing process or does not heal within 3 months is considered a chronic wound. Wound healing is impaired when the wound remains in the inflammatory stage for too long. A range of factors can delay the healing process: imbalance between proteases and protease inhibitors in the wound bed; bacterial colonization and the presence of biofilm; and oxidative stress.

Validation of the Spanish Version of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool 2.

Background: There are currently no questionnaires to measure the knowledge of nurses about dementia or Alzheimer's disease care in the Spanish language.

Objective: To validate the Spanish version of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool 2 (DKAT2-Sp).

Methods: The DKAT2 was translated into Spanish and then back-translated.
