RESUMEN

Objetivo: Explorar las experiencias y las vivencias de escolares de 7-8 años en una situación excepcional de alerta sanitaria en la que se han aplicado a la población estrictas medidas de confinamiento. Método: Estudio cualitativo exploratorio a través del análisis de ilustraciones realizadas por 71 escolares de 7-8 años de edad. El análisis se llevó a cabo según el marco teórico de Rose. Se realizó análisis descriptivo de los datos sociodemográficos. Resultados: Del análisis del contenido emergieron cinco categorías: 1) sentimientos de tristeza y miedo; 2) importancia del núcleo familiar, seguridad y protección; 3) hábitos de vida sedentarios durante el confinamiento; 4) infraestructuras de las viviendas y desigualdades sociales (la vida tras una ventana); y 5) respuesta social, lucha colectiva y de los/las profesionales de la salud. Conclusiones: La situación de pandemia de COVID-19 y las medidas estrictas de confinamiento han tenido un importante impacto en la población escolar, que es la que ha vivido las mayores restricciones. La infraestructura del hogar se ha mostrado como un claro diferenciador que ahonda en las desigualdades sociales y el impacto que la situación tiene en los/las escolares. Es necesario ampliar los estudios acerca del impacto psicosocial que esta situación va a tener a largo plazo en su salud física y mental. (AU)

Objective: To explore the experiences of schoolchildren in an exceptional health alert situation in which strict confinement measures have been applied to the population. Method: Qualitative exploratory study through the analysis of illustrations carried out by schoolchildren aged 7 to 8. The analysis was carried out according to Rose's theoretical framework. Descriptive analysis of socio-demographic data was performed. Results: Five categories emerged from the analysis of the content: 1) feelings of sadness and fear; 2) importance of the family nucleus, safety and protection; 3) sedentary living habits during confinement; 4) housing infrastructure and social inequalities (life through a window); and 5) social response, collective struggle and through health professionals. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic situation and the strict confinement measures have had a significant impact on the school population, who had experienced the greatest restrictions. Household infrastructure has been shown to be a clear differentiator that deepens social inequalities and the impact that the situation has on school children. More studies are needed on the long-term psychosocial impact of this situation on their physical and mental health.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Early intervention in a cardiorespiratory arrest by a witness significantly increases survival. That is why early training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be essential. Therefore, the aim of this study is the development and validation of an instrument to assess CPR knowledge and skills for schoolchildren from 5 to 8 years old. METHOD: We used a Spanish sample with 164 children aged between 5 and 8 years old. These children received a workshop called the "CPR from my school" program and their knowledge of CPR was assessed pre- and post-Workshop. We examined the scale through psychometric analyses within the framework of Classical Test Theory. RESULTS: The Nonide Scale provided evidence of content validity, revealed an essentially unidimensional internal structure, as well as excellent reliability (Ω = .87). Furthermore, a significant improvement was observed in scores, before and after the CPR Workshop. CONCLUSIONS: The Nonide Scale, designed to measure CPR knowledge and acquired skills in children from 5 to 8 years old, shows adequate psychometric properties, hence it can be used as professional and research contexts require.

Antecedentes: la intervención precoz en una parada cardiorrespiratoria por el testigo aumenta significativamente la supervivencia. Es por ello que resulta fundamental la formación temprana en reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP). Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio es el desarrollo y validación de un instrumento de medida de conocimientos y habilidades en RCP para escolares de 5 a 8 años: Escala Nonide. Método: se empleó una muestra de 164 niños de edades comprendidas entre los 5 y los 8 años. A estos niños se les impartió un taller del programa “RCP desde mi cole” y se evaluó sus conocimientos de RCP en el momento pre y post taller, estudiando la escala mediante análisis psicométricos desde el marco de la Teoría Clásica de los Tests. Resultados: el instrumento aportó evidencias de validez de contenido, mostró una estructura esencialmente unidimensional, así como una fiabilidad excelente (Ω=0,87). Además, se observó una mejora significativa en las puntuaciones del instrumento, antes y después del taller impartido de RCP. Conclusiones: la Escala Nonide diseñada para medir conocimientos y habilidades adquiridos en RCP para niños de 5 a 8 años muestra unas adecuadas propiedades psicométricas, por lo que puede emplearse cuando el contexto profesional y de investigación lo demande.
