    (BMC Nursing, 2023) Mayor Silva, Luis Iván; Moreno Muñoz, Guillermo; Girón Daviña, Pedro Ramón; Mohamedi Abdelkader, Samir; Hernández Martín, Marta María; Moreno Pimentel, Antonio Gabriel; Meneses Monroy, Alfonso
    Antecedentes: A pesar de que existe un cuerpo de literatura sobre la reducción de la ansiedad mediante métodos multi-compoenentes, poco se sabe sobre el efecto de la participación activa de los estudiantes en la investigación y comunicación de información científica como método reduccion de la ansiedad y el miedo. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el impacto de la investigación en información científica de calidad y la producción de videos informativos sobre los aspectos preventivos del COVID-19 para la reducción del miedo y la ansiedad. Método: Se realizó un ensayo controlado aleatorio con 220 estudiantes de enfermería en el primer año de la carrera de enfermería. Los estudiantes participantes fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en dos grupos. El grupo experimental realizó una intervención basada en una búsqueda en una base de datos de información sobre la prevención del COVID-19 y la producción de un vídeo que ofrece razones científicas por las que se deben seguir medidas de prevención. En el grupo de control, los estudiantes crearon carteles y vídeos sobre aspectos teóricos de un módulo de la carrera de enfermería. Ambos grupos fueron encuestados antes y después. la intervención, midiendo su estado de resiliencia, conductas preventivas, nivel de ansiedad y miedo al COVID-19. Resultados: El grupo de intervención mostró una mayor disminución en los niveles de miedo después de la intervención que los del grupo Control. No hubo diferencias entre los grupos en términos de resiliencia, conductas preventivas o ansiedad. En el grupo experimental, hubo una disminución significativa en los niveles de ansiedad y miedo después de la intervención en comparación con los niveles del grupo Control. Conclusiones Una intervención basada en la participación activa en búsquedas de información científica de alta calidad y la producción de videos informativos sobre la prevención del COVID-19 redujo el miedo y la ansiedad causados ​​por el COVID-19 entre estudiantes de enfermería.

    The COVID-19 Student Stress Questionnaire: Validation in Spanish university students from health sciences
    (Health Psychology Open, 2022) Vallone, Federica; Cattaneo Della Volta, Maria Francesca; Mayor Silva, Luis Iván; Meneses Monroy, Alfonso; Galletta, Maura; Curcio, Felice; Zurlo, Maria Clelia
    This study aimed to validate the Spanish version of the COVID-19 Student Stress Questionnaire (CSSQ), a 7-item tool assessing COVID-19-related stressors among university students, namely, Relationships and Academic Life, Isolation, and Fear of Contagion. Participants were 331 Spanish university students. Factor analyses sustained the three factor solution of the original tool. Data also revealed satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, suitable internal consistency, and significant associations with psychological symptoms, as measured by the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. The Spanish version of the CSSQ represents a valid tool to be used in clinical settings to timely identify students at high psychological risk and to develop evidence-based interventions during/after the pandemic.

    The role of psychological variables in improving resilience: Comparison of an online intervention with a face-to-face intervention. A randomised controlled clinical trial in students of health sciences
    (Nurse Education Today, 2021) Mayor Silva, Luis Iván; Romero Saldaña, Manuel; Moreno Pimentel, Antonio Gabriel; Melcón Álvarez, Ángela; Molina Luque, Rafael; Meneses Monroy, Alfonso
    Background Most studies on improving resilience lack representative samples and pre- and post-intervention assessments. Results regarding the effectiveness of online interventions versus face-to-face interventions are mixed. Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of online and face-to-face programmes for the improvement of coping strategies to develop resilience to stressful situations, and to assess their relationship with personality traits, mood, and academic stressors. Design Randomised controlled clinical trial. Three-armed parallel design. Participants 245 students of the Nursing and Physical Therapy Degree. Methods Students were randomly assigned to the control group (CG), intervention group 1 (IG-1, face-to-face) or intervention group 2 (IG-2, online). They were assessed after the intervention with the following instruments: the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the Academic Stressors Scale, the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the NEO-FFI scale. Results Negative affect was higher in IG-1 (p = 0.12). The greatest stressors were methodological deficiencies of the teaching staff, academic overload, and beliefs about academic performance. The most widely used coping strategies were “Active Problem-Focused Coping” and “Seeking Social Support”. There were differences between IG-1 and IG-2 only regarding “Focus on and Venting of Emotions” (p = 0.086). On the Resilience scale, “Persistence, Tenacity, and Self-Efficacy” was higher in the CG, and there were differences with IG-1 (p = 0.06). With respect to the traits measured by the NEO-FFI questionnaire, higher levels of emotional instability (neuroticism) were observed in IG-1 than in the CG (p = 0.06). Conclusions The results of both interventions are similar, with increased self-awareness of negative personality traits, which is useful for those ignoring their areas for improvement. In addition, these factors are further increased in individuals with high levels of neuroticism and low levels of extraversion. The online intervention was as effective as the face-to-face intervention.

    Psychological determinants and their relationship with activities carried out by health sciences students during confinement by COVID-19
    (Academic Journal of Health Sciences: Medicina Balear, 2022) Mayor Silva, Luis Iván; Romero Saldaña, Manuel; Moreno Pimentel, Antonio Gabriel; Álvarez Melcón, Ángela Concepción; Molina Luque, Rafael; Meneses Monroy, Alfonso
    Objetivos: Durante el confinamiento por la COVID-19, algunas personas se involucraron en comportamientos que generaron una mayor sensación de positividad y control. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar relaciones entre el afecto, las estrategias de afrontamiento y la resiliencia con la gestión de tareas, la angustia causada por el encierro y la dificultad para observar las restricciones de salud pública. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal (mayo de 2020) en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. La muestra estuvo conformada por 50 estudiantes de primer año de Ciencias de la Salud, los cuales fueron evaluados durante el confinamiento por la COVID19. Se utilizaron las siguientes escalas: Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale y Escala de Gestión de Actividades en Situación de Confinamiento (Activity Management during Lockdown Scale). Resultados: 35 estudiantes (70%) presentaron una puntuación mayor de 6 en la escala que mide el malestar causado por las restricciones de salud pública. Las asociaciones con valores de r ≥0,5 fueron: angustia por la pandemia y afecto positivo (r=0,512); búsqueda de nuevos pasatiempos y búsqueda de apoyo social (r=0,567); búsqueda de nuevos pasatiempos y humor (r=0,56); lectura y afrontamiento activo centrado en el problema (r=0,5). Conclusiones: El afecto positivo está influido por conductas vinculadas a la ayuda al prójimo. Las estrategias que permitieron a los sujetos ocupar su tiempo de manera más constructiva fueron: afrontamiento activo centrado en el problema, búsqueda de apoyo psicosocial y aceptación y crecimiento personal. Los factores relacionados con el afecto negativo fueron el consumo de alcohol y/o drogas, el humor.

    Occupational and work‐related disease underestimated and linked to temporary disability through Primary Health Care Services
    (Journal of Nursing Management, 2019) Hernández Martín, Marta María; Romero Saldaña, Manuel; Pacheco Del Cerro, José Luis; Alonso Safont, Tamara; Molina Recio, Guillermo; Meneses Monroy, Alfonso
    Abstract Aim: To estimate the occupational disease linked to temporary incapacity (not work‐ related illness). Background: The under‐reporting of occupational disease is a recognized problem in Europe. Methods: Cross‐sectional study conducted in Spanish adult population using periodsof temporary incapacity recorded in primary care during 2015. Rates of occupational disease were estimated using the García & Gadea study. Results: A total of 130,771 episodes of temporary incapacity were studied from 91,448 people, and 56,092 were women (61.3%). The overall prevalence rate was 2,096 and was higher in women (2,504) than in men (1,665) (p < 0.001). It was estimated that 6,580 (7.2%) could be suffering from an occupational disease. Musculoskeletal complaints were the commonest, affecting 75,165 people (82.2%). For the binary logistic regression, the dependent variable was the existence or lack of incapacity due to a musculoskeletal pathology. Age acts as a protective factor (adjusted OR = 0.978). The periods off work due to musculoskeletal complaints arelower in the first quarter of the year [OR > 1; p < 0.001]. Conclusions: 7.2% of the population was estimated to be off work due to an occupational disease. This estimate reflects the well‐known under‐reporting of occupationaldiseases which are dealt with by the Public Health System instead of specialized clinics. Implications for Nursing Management: The interdisciplinary role of the occupational health nurse makes it an adequate professional to detect the cases of occupational diseases in primary care settings. Occupational Health Nursing has been recognized by the managers as the most suitable professionals to carry out the screening of occupational diseases in Primary Care.
