RESUMEN

(1) Pregnancy surveillance nursing consultations in the pandemic context have undergone some changes, namely the restriction of accompanying persons. In this sense, assessing the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance is of great importance. Since there are no studies on the subject in the period before the pandemic, we will only assess the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy monitoring. (2) For this reason, the aim of our study is to evaluate the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance. (3) This study is descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative in nature, with a sample of 196 couples. A questionnaire was administered about the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance nursing consultations. (4) Pregnant mothers and their partners reported having some knowledge. The classification was assessed using a questionnaire with quantifiable response options from 1 to 5 points. Items with a score of 1 indicate a low level of knowledge and 5 indicates a higher level of knowledge. (5) We can verify that the level of knowledge acquired by the pregnant mother during the pregnancy surveillance nursing consultation is higher than the level of knowledge acquired by the father during the same consultation. Most parents consider it important to receive information through the pregnancy surveillance nursing consultations carried out by Maternal and Obstetric Health Nurse Specialists (midwives).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Self-reported measures are relevant both for the clinic and for health evaluation because they provide an interpretation of quality parameters. Women who experience labour can express themselves through these measures, identifying indicators that need improvement. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to adapt the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire to the Portuguese context and to determine its psychometric properties. METHOD: A methodological study carried out with a convenience sample where the participants were 161 female users of a hospital in southern Portugal. They were aged between 20 and 43 years (M = 31.05, SD = 4.87) and answered a questionnaire approximately 48 h postpartum, preserving the ethical principles. The original instrument, with 22 items, underwent the linguistic and cultural adequacy process. RESULTS: Factor analysis with Varimax rotation was performed, revealing a set of 19 items with factor weights above .400. The set of items remained four-dimensional as the original, explaining 62.517% of the variance. In the retest, the reliability results showed that similar characteristics to the original study are maintained in the two subscales that express 'Participation' (three items) and 'Professional Support' (four items), with internal consistency values of .807 and .782. The 'Own Performance' and 'Own Threshold' subscales were elaborated from the results of the Varimax rotation, presenting Cronbach's alpha coefficients of .840 and 714, respectively. The total scale showed alpha values of .873 and .823 in the test and retest, respectively. Time stability showed a positive association, with r = .659 (p < .001). Accuracy through the split-half method reached an alpha value of .880 with Spearman-Brown correction. The floor effect was high in the 'Participation' subscale, both in the test and in the retest. Convergent validity between the instrument and the 'Index of Strategies for Pain Relief in Labour' discrete variable showed a Spearman's rho value of .209 (p = .011) in the total scale. In discriminating validity, the Mann-Whitney test reveals that the women who recognize interactions with the midwife have more favourable scores in Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (U = 2748.000; Z = 2.905; p = .004). CONCLUSION: The current version in European Portuguese suggests that it is a valid and reliable measure. This study may facilitate other validation processes in Lusophony countries.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are highly prevalent in older people, being depression a predominant disorder. Evidence points to a possible relationship between depression and violence against older people. Nonetheless, the role of the depressive symptomology severity in the risk of violence against older people remains unclear. Thus, this study's main objective was to analyze the relationship between geriatric depressive symptomatology and the risk of violence against older people. METHODS: This exploratory study involved 502 community-dwelling older persons aged 65 to 96 years (73.3 ± 6.5). Measures were performed using the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Risk Assessment of Violence against the Non-Institutionalized Elderly scale. RESULTS: One hundred nineteen older people (23.7%) had mild/moderate depressive symptomology, and twenty-six (5.2%) had severe depressive symptomology. There were significant relationships between the severity of depressive symptomatology and the risk of violence (p < 0.05). The presence of depressive symptomatology increased the likelihood of being victims of violence, particularly among women (odds ratio: 2-8, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The severity of depressive symptomatology plays an essential role in the risk of violence against community-dwelling older people. Moreover, it was found that older persons with depression symptomatology were at higher risk of being victims of violence. Our study findings support the need for protective measures within mental health national or regional policies to prevent depression and violence against community-dwelling older people.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to assess the teaching-learning process related to patient privacy during the care process and the way nursing students’ protect patient privacy. Descriptive/correlational study using a qualitative approach and nonprobability sampling of 19 nurse educators from two schools of nursing. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was undertaken using the SPSS version 20 and Alceste 2010 programs. The study complied with ethical standards. Two classes were assigned (protection of patient privacy and care process) with four subcategories (protection, empathy, relational competencies and technoscientific competencies).The findings show the need to adopt a reflective approach to the teaching-learning process by using experiential learning activities and real-life activities. We believe that intimacy and the protection of privacy should be core themes of nurse education and training.

El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender cómo la enseñanza y el aprendizaje se lleva a cabo la preservación de la intimidad de los usuarios durante el proceso de la atención, los estudiantes de enfermería. Estudio descriptivo correlacional, enfoque cualitativo. Muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 19 maestros de dos escuelas. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de una entrevista semi-estructurada. En el procesamiento de datos con el software SPSS versión 20 y Alceste 2010. Procedimientos éticos respetados. La intimidad se define como la clase 3 del corpus de entrevistas. Se definen dos categorías (de preservación de la intimidad y el proceso de atención) y cuatro subcategorías de esta clase (preservación, habilidades relacionales, empatía y experiencia técnica y científica). Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de utilizar metodologías reflexivas a través de ejemplos y experiencias reales en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Creemos que la preservación de la intimidad y la intimidad debe ser conceptos centrales en la educación de enfermería.

O objetivo deste estudo foi perceber como decorre o ensino-aprendizagem da preservação da intimidade do utente durante o processo de cuidar, pelos estudantes de enfermagem.Estudo descritivo-correlacional, abordagem qualitativa. Amostra não-probabilística por conveniência de 19 docentes de duas escolas. A recolha de dados foi feita através de uma entrevista semi-estruturada. No tratamento dos dados utilizaram-se os Softwares SPSS versão 20 e Alceste 2010. Respeitados os procedimentos éticos. A intimidade foi definida como a classe 3 do corpus das entrevistas. Definimos duas categorias (preservação da intimidade e processo de cuidar) e quatro subcategorias desta classe (preservação, relação empática, competências relacionais e competênciatécnico-científica).Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de se utilizarem metodologias reflexivas através de vivências e exemplos reais no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos estudantes. Consideramos que a intimidade e a preservação da intimidade devem ser conceitos centrais da formação em enfermagem.
