RESUMEN

Este estudo teve como objetivo geral verificar a relação entre síndrome de burnout, habilidades sociais, coping e variáveis sócio-ocupacionais em uma amostra de 166 professores do ensino fundamental de 13 escolas públicas do interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, com idades entre 23 e 65 anos, sendo 73 % do sexo feminino. Foram utilizados o Inventário da Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais 2 (IHS-2), o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping (IEC) e um questionário sócio-ocupacional desenvolvido especialmente para esta pesquisa. Obteve-se correlação negativa entre o burnout e o repertório de habilidades sociais (r = -0,273 e p < 0,01). As estratégias de coping que se correlacionaram positivamente com as habilidades sociais foram: busca de suporte social, resolução de problemas e reavaliação positiva. Ademais, houve correlação positiva entre coping e realização profissional, indicando que professores que adotaram estratégias de enfrentamento apresentaram maior tendência a sentirem-se realizados profissionalmente. As variáveis preditoras do burnout foram idade, estado civil, provimento familiar, número de filhos, tempo de serviço, tratamento contínuo de saúde e desenvoltura social. Discutiu-se a implicação desses resultados no tocante às ações protetivas de saúde mental docente e quanto à relevância do desenvolvimento socioemocional nas escolas.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo general verificar la relación entre el síndrome de burnout, las habilidades sociales, el afrontamiento y las variables sociolaborales en una muestra de 166 profesores de educación básica de 13 escuelas públicas del interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, con edades entre 23 y 65 años, el 73 % de los cuales son mujeres. Se utilizó el Inventario de Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), el Inventario de Habilidades Sociales 2 (IHS-2), el Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (IEC) y un cuestionario sociolaboral desarrollado especialmente para esta investigación. Se obtuvo una correlación negativa entre el burnout y el repertorio de habilidades sociales (r = -.273 y p = .001). Las estrategias de afrontamiento que se correlacionaron positivamente con las habilidades sociales fueron: búsqueda de apoyo social, resolución de problemas y reevaluación positiva. Además, hubo una correlación positiva entre el afrontamiento y la realización profesional, lo que indica que los profesores que adoptaron estrategias de afrontamiento tenían más probabilidades de sentirse realizados profesionalmente. Las variables predictoras del agotamiento fueron la edad, el estado civil, la provisión familiar, el número de hijos, el tiempo de servicio, la atención médica continua y la desenvoltura social. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados respecto de las acciones protectoras para la salud mental de los docentes y la relevancia del desarrollo socioemocional en las escuelas.

This study had the general objective of verifying the relationship between burnout syndrome, social skills, coping strategies, and socio-occupational variables in a sample of 166 elementary school teachers from 13 public schools of Minas Gerais, Brazil, aged between 23 and 65 years, 73 % of whom were female. The Burnout Syndrome Inventory (ISB), the Social Skills Inventory 2 (IHS-2), the Coping Strategies Inventory (IEC), and a socio-occupational questionnaire developed especially for this research were used. A negative correlation was obtained between burnout and repertoire of social skills (r = -.273 and p < .001). The coping strategies that positively correlated with social skills were seeking social support, problem solving, and positive reappraisal. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between coping and professional fulfillment, indicating that teachers who adopted coping strategies were more likely to feel professionally satisfied. The burnout predictor variables were age, marital status, family provision, number of children, length of service, ongoing health care and social resourcefulness. The implications of these results were discussed concerning protective actions for the mental health of teachers and the importance of socio-emotional development in schools.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare socio-cognitive skills and emotion comprehension between children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with neurotypical development. METHODS: This quantitative, cross-sectional, controlled study involved 19 children in each group, matched by age (6-12 years) and sex. The assessments examined cognitive aspects (Intelligence Quotient was assessed using the Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning subtests; working memory using the digit span and letter-number sequencing subtests; attention using the Continuous Performance Test - Identical Pairs; and executive functions using the Trail Making Test), social functions (Children's Social Skills, Behavior Problems, and Academic Competence Inventory), and emotion comprehension (language was assessed using the Strange Stories Test; emotional facial expressions using the digital emotion comprehension test; emotional/affective prosody using the Profiling Elements of Prosody in Speech-Communication - Brazilian Portuguese adapted version). RESULTS: The group with ASD exhibited better performance in executive functions (p=0.02). However, they lagged the control group in social skills (p=0.04), behavior problems (p=0.03), and emotion comprehension (language, facial expressions, and prosody) (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that children with ASD have diminished performance in social skills and emotion comprehension compared to children with neurotypical development. Therefore, the development of technologies and/or therapeutic interventions that address these deficits among children with ASD is recommended.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In nursing education, contact with real scenarios implies the design of favorable experiences to develop prioritization, reasoning, critical thinking, and management skills that support future practice. In the context of the teaching-learning process, simulation emerges as a support strategy, but its use and management require the knowledge and appropriation of teachers. Clinical simulation during education promotes growth in technical skills and aptitudes such as critical thinking, emotional management, organization, delegation, and teamwork. The culmination positively impacts the student, reflecting on their confidence, security, and adaptability to unexpected or unknown situations and risks. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review is to determine the socioemotional skills described during the teaching-learning process mediated by medium- and high-fidelity clinical simulation in nursing students. METHODS: The main concepts and limits of the research area will be determined according to the 5 phases of a scoping review proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Research articles and postgraduate theses published between 2010 and 2023 in English and Spanish will be considered. Dissertation-type documents, book chapters, editorials, abstracts, and articles focused on clinical simulation among nursing professionals will be excluded. The articles will be retrieved from databases available at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, along with CINAHL, Scielo, and PubMed. The search strategy will be based on the Population-Concept-Context framework. Article selection will be carried out by 2 independent evaluators who will review titles and abstracts in stage 1 and the full text in stage 2. A database of retrieved articles will be built with the variables of interest. A qualitative thematic analysis will be conducted by 5 independent reviewers to provide an overview of the literature, focusing on identifying similarities and contrasts between studies and contributions related to the aspects of social skills described in nursing students. RESULTS: The investigation has not yet started. The findings aim to focus on variables within the academic environment that, when correlated with the clinical simulation experience, may determine student learning. The working hypothesis is that students who experience greater satisfaction or possess better communication skills also demonstrate superior performance during high-fidelity simulation activities. The most relevant results will be contrasted considering the stated objective and knowledge gaps. Key aspects will also be compared with other reviews addressing related topics such as communication, self-efficacy, and self-confidence. Skills described by other authors that were not considered in the initial literature review will also be mentioned. CONCLUSIONS: Educational institutions are responsible for including learning experiences in controlled environments such as medium- and high-fidelity simulation to ensure the acquisition of technical capabilities and additional socioemotional skills. Recognizing and managing emotions is necessary to provide adequate care for users of health care services and for the increased effectiveness of professionals.

RESUMEN

Resumen Las redes sociales virtuales atraen a diferentes usuarios por las múltiples potencialidades e impactos característicos de esta sociedad tecnológica. El propósito de este estudio es identificar las redes sociales virtuales más usadas por los jóvenes, los motivos personales de uso y la relación de su utilización con la percepción de soledad y las habilidades de autoexpresión en escenarios sociales. En particular, se evalúan las diferencias de tales usos en función de la edad, el nivel de escolaridad y el género. En el estudio participaron 251 jóvenes adultos españoles con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 40 años (X = 26.33, D.T. = 5-91) contactados a través de un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se observó que el uso de las redes sociales virtuales se ve aumentado en los participantes con bajas habilidades sociales, altos niveles de soledad y más jóvenes. Destacan los motivos de aburrimiento y evasión o escape para usar los espacios digitales y se registra una tendencia en los jóvenes de la generación Z (18 a 28 años) a utilizar más las redes sociales virtuales, en comparación con los de la generación Y (29 a 40 años). Como conclusiones, se señala la conveniencia de controlar el uso problemático de las redes sociales virtuales y de entrenar las habilidades sociales para mejorar las relaciones interpersonales.

Abstract Virtual social networks are attracting different types of users thanks to the multiple potentialities and impacts characteristic of this technological society. The aim of this study is to identify the virtual social networks most used by young people, as well as the personal reasons for use and their negative effects in relation to the perception of loneliness and their self-expression skills in social settings. As specific objectives, it is proposed to determine the differences in such uses depending on age, level of education and gender. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out so that 251 young Spanish adults between the ages of 18 and 40 years old participated (X = 26.33, DT. = 5-91). It has been verified that the use of social networks is increased when presenting low social skills, having high levels of loneliness and the younger one is. The reasons for boredom and evasion or escape in the use of these digital spaces stand out, and a tendency is observed in the young people of Generation Z (young people between 18 and 28 years old) to use VSN more in comparison with the previous Generation Y (with a range of 29 to 40 years old). It emphasizes the convenience of controlling the problematic use of social networks, training social skills to improve interpersonal relationships and strengthening emotionally.

RESUMEN

Gamified interventions are an emerging approach in mental health treatment and prevention. Their positive effects on managing various clinical conditions stem from enhancing social skills. However, cost-effective options like Table-top Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs), which offer similar benefits to other game-based interventions, lack standardized methods for ensuring replicability. In this regard, the method outlined in this study endeavors, in a structured and guided manner drawing from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), to establish a six-step protocol for developing an intervention method utilizing TTRPGs. In all Steps, we aim to anchor ourselves in robust literature concerning social skills training (SST), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and gamification comprehensively. Thus, the method presented encompasses the objectives of SST, the strategies of CBT, and the dynamics of gamification via TTRPGs. Furthermore, we demonstrate a possible application of the method to illustrate its feasibility. Ultimately, the final method is structured, evidence-based, easily applicable, cost-effective, and thus viable. Mental health professionals seeking a structured and instructional tool for protocol development will find support in the method proposed here.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in performing motor tasks. Research suggests social skills are also altered. OBJECTIVE: To investigate (1) whether the presence of DCD affects social responsiveness, (2) whether the co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects social responsiveness in children with DCD, and (3) whether there is an association between motor performance and social responsiveness in children with DCD. METHODS: Based on parental reports, children aged 5 to 15.5 years were assigned to one of three groups: DCD only (noASD, n = 67), DCD and suspected ASD (sASD, n = 13), and DCD and confirmed ASD (cASD, n = 22). Parental answers to the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) and the DCD-Questionnaire (DCD-Q) were compared to norm values using one sample t-tests, and between groups using ANOVA and MANOVA. Pearson correlation coefficients explored the relationship between the SRS-2 and DCD-Q in the total group and per group. RESULTS: Compared to norm values, difficulties in all areas of social responsiveness were reported in children with DCD, regardless of group (p<0.001). Compared to the noASD group, more unfavorable SRS-2 total T-scores and poorer DCD-Q scores were observed in sASD and cASD groups. Only in the total group, motor performance showed significant weak to moderate associations with the SRS-2 total T-score and all subscales except for 'social motivation' (r=-0.306 to -0.405; p ≤ 0.02). CONCLUSION: Social responsiveness difficulties are more common in children with DCD and are more severe in the ASD groups. Motor performance and social responsiveness are weak to moderately associated. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05092893 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05092893).

RESUMEN

RESUMEN La resiliencia emocional implica capacidades de regulación de estrés, ansiedad, miedo, cólera e irritabilidad, así como la resistencia intencional a los impulsos y el mantenimiento de una actitud positiva frente a circunstancias difíciles y hacia uno mismo. Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de una versión en español de la subescala de resiliencia del BESSI-45. Se aplicó el BESSI-45 a 625 adolescentes de tres zonas diferentes del Perú. Se evaluó la consistencia interna, la estructura factorial, la invarianza factorial y las características basadas en la teoría de respuesta al ítem (TRI) de la subescala y se determinaron sus baremos. La consistencia interna fue adecuada (omega = 0,8243). El análisis factorial mostró una estructura unidimensional con buenos indicadores de ajuste, así como una invarianza factorial en cuanto a sexo y región geográfica. La capacidad de discriminación de acuerdo a la TRI fue satisfactoria para todos los ítems. Los ítems más importantes fueron tres relacionados con el control de la cólera y la impulsividad. En los adolescentes peruanos evaluados, la subescala de resiliencia del BESSI-45 muestra características psicométricas adecuadas con base en su estructura factorial, consistencia interna y en la TRI.

ABSTRACT Emotional resilience skills involve the regulation of stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and irritability; intentional impulse resistance; and the maintenance of a positive attitude towards oneself and difficult surrounding circumstances. The aim of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the resilience subscale of the BESSI-45. The BESSI-45 was administered to 625 adolescents from three different regions of Peru. The resilience subscale was evaluated in terms of norms, internal consistency, factorial structure, factorial invariance, and Item Response Theory (IRT)-based characteristics. Internal consistency was adequate (omega = 0.8243), the factor analysis showed a unidimensional structure with good fit indices, and factorial invariance was demonstrated across gender and geographic region. The discrimination ability according to IRT was satisfactory for all items. The most important items were three related to anger control and impulsivity. In the study sample of Peruvian adolescents, the resilience subscale of the BESSI-45 shows adequate psychometric characteristics based on its factorial structure, internal consistency and IRT.

RESUMEN

As habilidades sociais têm importante papel na vida escolar e profissional. Este estudo, de natureza descritiva e correlacional, analisa os efeitos de um Curso de extensão intitulado "Imersão na Universidade: você protagonista do seu futuro", sobre as habilidades sociais de estudantes do Ensino Médio da rede pública. Para tanto, aplicou-se o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais em Adolescentes (IHSA-DelPrette) no momento inicial e três meses após o término do curso, considerando dois indicadores: (1) frequência e (2) dificuldade com que reagiam às diferentes demandas de interação social. Verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre os escores pré e pós intervenção (p = 0,014), evidenciando aumento da frequência das habilidades. Para a dificuldade não foi observada diferença significante, embora tenha ocorrido uma diminuição de 13,45%. A universidade pode ser um espaço não apenas para capacitação analítica e instrumental, mas para o desenvolvimento interpessoal tanto da comunidade interna quanto externa.

Las habilidades sociales poseen importante papel en la vida escolar y profesional. En este estudio, de naturaleza descriptiva y correlacional, se analiza los efectos de un Curso de extensión intitulado "Inmersión en la Universidad: usted es protagonista de su futuro", sobre las habilidades sociales de estudiantes de la enseñanza secundaria de la red pública. Para tanto, se aplicó el Inventario de Habilidades Sociales en Adolescentes (IHSA-DelPrette) en el momento inicial y tres meses tras el término del curso, considerando dos indicadores: (1) frecuencia y (2) dificultad con que reaccionaran a las diferentes demandas de interacción social. Se verificó diferencia estadísticamente significante entre los escores pre y tras intervención (p = 0,014), evidenciando aumento de la frecuencia de las habilidades. Para la dificultad no se observó diferencia significante, aunque haya sucedido una disminución del 13,45%. La universidad puede ser un espacio no solo para capacitación analítica e instrumental, pero también para el desarrollo interpersonal de la comunidad interna y externa.

Social skills play an important role in school and professional life. This descriptive and correlational study analyzes the effects of an extension course entitled "Immersion in the University: you are the protagonist of your future", about the social skills of High School students in public schools. To this end, the Inventory of Social Skills in Adolescents (IHSA-DelPrette) was applied at the beginning and three months after the end of the course, considering two indicators: (1) assiduity and (2) difficulties they had when handling the different demands of social interaction. There was a statistically significant difference between the pre and post intervention scores (p = 0.014), showing an increase in the frequency of skills. For difficulty, no significant difference was observed, although there was a decrease of 13.45%. The university can be a space not only for analytical and instrumental training, but for the interpersonal development of both the internal and external community.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Introduction: Soft skills represent a range of personal skills, attitudes and characteristics relevant to success and adequate work performance. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and usage of soft skills in Orthodontics. Methods: The participants answered a questionnaire containing 27 objective questions on awareness and frequency of soft skills in their professional activities. Participants were also asked to rank the soft skills in a crescent order of importance. The sample was divided into subgroups: A) residents in Orthodontics; B) orthodontists with less than 5 years of experience and C) orthodontists with more than 5 years of experience. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Sexual differences were compared using Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05). Results: The sample of this observational study comprised 129 experienced orthodontists and residents in Orthodontics (92 women, 37 men) with mean age of 35.3 years. From the total sample, 54,6% of respondents reported no previous instructions on soft skills. All respondents reported using the analyzed soft skills with a similar frequency (median 4-5). Residents reported accessing reliable sources in bibliographic research less frequently (46%). Female orthodontists reported to seek help from teachers and other professionals more often than males. Ethics and communication were frequently ranked as the most important soft skills. Information management and leadership were frequently less ranked as important soft skills. Conclusion: Poor knowledge of soft skills was demonstrated by residents and orthodontists. Communication skill was highly used and frequently ranked as the most important soft skill.

RESUMO Introdução: As soft skills representam uma variedade de habilidades pessoais, atitudes e características relevantes para o sucesso e desempenho adequado no trabalho. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento e o uso das soft skills em ortodontistas. Métodos: Os participantes responderam a um questionário contendo 27 perguntas objetivas sobre conhecimento e frequência das soft skills em suas atividades profissionais. Os participantes também foram solicitados a classificar as soft skills em uma ordem crescente de importância. A amostra foi dividida em subgrupos: A) residentes em Ortodontia; B) ortodontistas com menos de 5 anos de experiência e C) ortodontistas com mais de 5 anos de experiência. As comparações intergrupos foram realizadas usando o teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Diferenças entre os sexos foram comparadas usando o teste de Mann-Whitney (p< 0,05). Resultados: A amostra deste estudo observacional compreendeu 129 ortodontistas experientes e residentes em Ortodontia (92 mulheres, 37 homens) com idade média de 35,3 anos. Entre os entrevistados, 54,6% relataram não ter recebido instruções prévias sobre as soft skills. Todos os entrevistados relataram usar as habilidades interpessoais analisadas com uma frequência semelhante (mediana 4-5). Os residentes relataram acessar com menos frequência (46%) fontes confiáveis de pesquisa bibliográfica. Ortodontistas do sexo feminino relataram buscar ajuda de professores e outros profissionais com mais frequência do que os do sexo masculino. Ética e comunicação foram frequentemente classificadas como as soft skills mais importantes. Com frequência, o gerenciamento de informações e a liderança foram classificados como soft skills menos importantes. Conclusão: Foi demonstrado pouco conhecimento sobre as soft skills por parte de residentes e ortodontistas. A habilidade de comunicação foi frequentemente utilizada e considerada a soft skill mais importante.

RESUMEN

RESUMO: Este estudo objetivou identificar, sistematizar e avaliar quais estratégias têm sido utilizadas na Análise do Comportamento para o ensino de comportamentos pré-requisito do empatizar a crianças diagnosticadas com autismo. Para isso, realizaram-se as seguintes etapas: definição das palavras-chave e das bases de dados; estabelecimento dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão dos artigos; busca e seleção de artigos; e análise de dados que consistiu na análise da qualidade individual e geral dos artigos e na sistematização e análise de dados dos artigos (e.g., ano de publicação, procedimento empregado etc.). Foram selecionados 11 artigos para análise. Em todos os artigos, houve o ensino de uma ou mais respostas empáticas, mas apenas dois deles utilizaram a terminologia "empatia" na descrição do objetivo. A falta de consenso na definição do termo dificulta que textos sobre empatia sejam encontrados. Quanto à qualidade dos artigos recuperados, ela foi avaliada como alta. Diante da importância do tema, sugere-se que estudos futuros realizem buscas mais abrangentes sobre o ensino do empatizar para crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA).

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify, systematize and evaluate which strategies have been used in Behavior Analysis to teach pre-requisite behaviors for empathizing in children with autism. For this, the following steps were performed: definition of keywords and databases; establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria for the articles; search and selection of articles; and data analysis, which consisted of analyzing the individual and general quality of the articles and systematizing and analyzing the data of the articles (e.g., year of publication, procedure used, etc.). Eleven articles were selected for analysis. All articles taught one or more empathetic responses, but only two of them used the terminology "empathy" in the objective description. The lack of consensus on the definition of the term makes it difficult to find texts on empathy. As for the quality of the retrieved articles, it was evaluated as high. Given the importance of the topic, it is suggested that future studies develop more embracing searches on teaching empathy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: During development, children face a number of demands and cognitive, behavioral, and social challenges necessary for growth. Cognitive skills make individuals competent and allow them to interact with their environment. OBJECTIVE: To identify the cognitive skills that promote better social insertion in children with autism spectrum disorder within 12 months. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective cohort study METHODS: In this study, 21 children aged 3-12 years were assessed, and their mothers were interviewed. Children were enrolled in regular or special autistic schools. Twelve months after the first assessment, the same children participated in the second assessment. In individual interviews, mothers provided data by answering the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale. Each child was assessed individually using the fourth edition of the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale 4th Edition. RESULTS: In the first assessment, the Stanford Binet areas and total scores correlated with the communication domains, daily life abilities, socialization, and total score of the Vineland Scale. After 12 months, a correlation was observed between the Stanford Binet areas and the total and communication domains, daily life abilities, socialization, motor abilities, and total score on the Vineland Scale. CONCLUSION: Logic mathematics and memory promote better social insertion in children with autism spectrum disorder. General cognitive ability promotes communication.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: verificar o que tem sido pesquisado sobre a prática de AM&EC por crianças e quais os possíveis efeitos para o desenvolvimento de comportamentos socialmente competentes desse público. Metodologia: através de palavras-chave e termos organizados em três categorias (AM&EC; habilidades sociais; crianças) foram consultadas as bases Portal de Periódicos CAPES, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, ERIC, LILACS e Scielo, em busca de estudos experimentais e observacionais publicados entre janeiro de 2002 e abril de 2022, sendo encontrados 10 estudos que atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados e discussão: dos estudos incluídos destacamos três aspectos: 1) os períodos de intervenção em AM&EC eram bastante variados, sendo considerado um ponto importante e que pode se configurar como limitação; 2) três estudos foram realizados com crianças que apresentavam algum diagnóstico de transtorno psicológico, indicando a utilização de AM&EC como terapia; e 3) estudos que ofertaram a prática da modalidade de combate aliando aprendizado técnico aos princípios morais e filosóficos foram os que indicaram haver obtido resultados mais significativos. Conclusão: apesar de encontrarmos limitações na realização desta revisão, como ter incluído apenas estudos disponíveis publicamente, foi possível reunir pesquisas que apresentaram o status e colaboraram na construção do conhecimento sobre o tema, corroborando o conhecimento produzido até agora sobre os benefícios da prática de AM&EC no desenvolvimento de comportamentos socialmente competentes de crianças.

Abstract Objective To build and validate an instrument for self-assessment of soft skills in authentic nursing leadership. Methods This methodological research was developed in three stages: literature review, development of the instrument entitled "LEADERSKILLS", and validation of the instrument's content by experts using the Delphi Online Technique. The first stage consisted of two narrative reviews. The second stage included a pilot test for the development of the instrument containing a narrative description of the most relevant soft skills (related to the exercise of authentic leadership by nurses) that were presented by the narrative literature review. The third and final stage included changes to the instrument after considerations made by the experts. Results In the first round, the panel of experts was composed of 13 participants. Of the 17 multiple-choice questions evaluated in the first round, only two (belonging to the content and language components) did not obtain the Content Validity Index (CVI) ≥0.85. The first question was about the inadequate understanding of what the titles and subtitles of "LEADERSKILLS" were, and the second was about the instrument's clarity and objectivity. The judges' main suggestions were concentrated on the content, language, and layout components. The second round consisted of responses from five experts, and reaching a consensus on the questions was possible by obtaining CVI≥0.80. Conclusion The instrument constructed to develop soft skills in nursing was considered valid in terms of content, layout, language, motivation, and culture, achieving coherent assessment and applicability to the target audience.

RESUMEN

Abstract Behavior problems are frequent in school-age children; however, few controlled studies have assessed the effects of social skills interventions with this population, especially involving different informants and environments. This study aimed to describe the effects of the Promoting-Children intervention in an experimental group design with children (Experimental Group and Control Group), utilizing various probes and informants, regarding the children's behaviors before and after the intervention, a follow-up evaluation (social skills, behavior problems, academic performance) and assessment of the teachers and parents' positive and negative educational practices. Teachers and parents/guardians responded to standardized instruments to measure educational social skills, negative practices, behavior problems, and social skills with various probes. The results demonstrated a reduction in behavior problems and negative practices, as well as an increase in social skills and educational social skills, in both the school and family environments, after the interventions in the Experimental Group, whereas no such changes were observed in the Control Group. This confirms the positive effects of the efficacy and effectiveness of the Promoting-Children intervention.

Resumo Problemas de comportamento são frequentes em crianças em idade escolar, mas há poucos estudos controlados para aferir efeitos de intervenções em habilidades sociais com essa população, especialmente com diferentes informantes e ambientes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever efeitos da intervenção Promove-Crianças, em um delineamento experimental de grupo com crianças (Grupos Experimental e Controle), com diferentes sondas e informantes, sobre os comportamentos das crianças antes e após a intervenção, incluindo avaliação de seguimento (habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento, desempenho acadêmico) e práticas educativas positivas e negativas de seus professores e familiares. Professores e pais/responsáveis responderam a instrumentos padronizados para mensurar habilidades sociais educativas, práticas negativas, problemas de comportamento e habilidades sociais, nas diferentes sondas. Os resultados demonstraram, nos ambientes escolar e familiar, redução de problemas de comportamento e de práticas negativas e aumento das habilidades sociais e habilidades sociais educativas após as intervenções no Grupo Experimental, não ocorrendo no Grupo Controle. Atesta-se efeitos positivos de eficácia e de efetividade do Promove-Crianças.

Resumen Problemas de comportamiento son frecuentes en niños en edad escolar y faltan estudios controlados que certifiquen los efectos de intervenciones en habilidades sociales en esa población, especialmente con diferentes informantes y ambientes. El objetivo de la investigación es describir los efectos de la intervención Promueve-Niños en un grupo experimental de niños (Grupo Experimental y Grupo Control), con diferentes sondas e informantes sobre el comportamiento de los niños antes y después de la intervención (habilidades sociales, problemas de comportamiento, rendimiento académico) y prácticas educativas positivas y negativas de sus profesores y sus familiares. Profesores y padres/tutores respondieron a instrumentos estandarizados para medir habilidades sociales educativas, prácticas negativas, problemas de comportamiento y habilidades sociales con diferentes sondas e informantes. Los resultados muestran que hubo una reducción de problemas de comportamiento y de prácticas negativas en los entornos escolar y familiar, así como un aumento de las habilidades sociales y habilidades sociales educativas después de las intervenciones del Grupo Experimental, no ocurriendo en el Grupo Control. Los efectos positivos de la eficacia y de la efectividad del Promueve-Niños son atestiguados.
