PROCES KSZTAŁCENIA W ZAKRESIE PROFILAKTYKI I KONTROLI ZAKAŻEŃ ZWIĄZANYCH Z OPIEKĄ ZDROWOTNĄ W EUROPEJSKICH INSTYTUCJACH SZKOLNICTWA WYŻSZEGO – BADANIE JAKOŚCIOWE
[EN] Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) affect
the lives of patients through prolonged stay in hospital, illness, or
even death, incurring signifi cant costs to both healthcare systems
and society. Research shows that during a stay in a hospital, approximately
20% to 30% of patients are diagnosed with at least
one infection.
Openness, fi ne interpersonal and communication skills as well as
adequate opportunities for training courses for healthcare staff
contribute to promoting HCAI/HAI prevention.
HCAI/HAI-related education should contribute to widening knowledge
and mastering practical skills. It is assumed that lecturers,
professional instructors, and coordinators create a signifi cant foundation
for professional development and social interactions by
applying interactive pedagogical models.
[POL] Zakażenia związane z opieką zdrowotną (Healthca-
re associated infections, HCAI) wpływają na życie pacjentów poprzez
przedłużony pobyt w szpitalu, chorobę, a nawet śmierć, powodując
znaczne koszty zarówno dla systemów opieki zdrowotnej, jak i spo-
łeczeństwa. Badania pokazują, że podczas pobytu w szpitalu u około
20% do 30% pacjentów diagnozuje się co najmniej jedną infekcję
Otwarte podejście, wysokie umiejętności interpersonalne i komu-
nikacyjne, a także odpowiednie możliwości szkoleń dla personelu
medycznego przyczyniają się do promowania profi laktyki HCAI/
HAI. Kształcenie w zakresie HCAI/HAI powinno przyczynić się
do poszerzenia wiedzy i opanowania praktycznych umiejętności.

Nursing Students’ Perceptions on Healthcare-Associated Infection Control and Prevention Teaching and Learning Experience in Portugal
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are one of the major concerns worldwide, posing
significant challenges to healthcare professionals’ education and training. This study intended to
measure nursing students’ perceptions regarding their learning experiences on HAI prevention and
control. In the first phase of the study, a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a convenience
sample composed of undergraduate nursing students from Portugal, Spain, Poland, and Finland
was conducted to develop the InovSafeCare questionnaire. In the second phase, we applied the
InovSafeCare scale in a sample of nursing students from two Portuguese higher education institutions
to explore which factors impact nursing students’ adherence to HAI prevention and control measures
in clinical settings. In phase one, the InovSafeCare questionnaire was applied to 1326 students
internationally, with the instrument presenting adequate psychometric qualities with reliability
results in 14 dimensions. During phase two, the findings supported that Portuguese nursing students’
adherence to HAI prevention and control measures is influenced not only by the curricular offerings
and resources available in academic settings, but also by the standards conveyed by nursing tutors
during clinical placements. Our findings support the need for a dedicated curricular focus on HAI
prevention and control learning, not only through specific classroom modules, innovative resources,
and pedagogical approaches, but also through a complementary and coordinated liaison between
teachers and tutors in academic and clinical settings.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Nursing Students' Perceptions on Healthcare-Associated Infection Control and Prevention Teaching and Learning Experience: Development and Validation of a Scale in Four European Countries
Healthcare-associated infections are one of the major concerns worldwide. This
study presents the development and the validation process of the InovSafeCare
scale and aimed at identifying and measuring the ecosystem variables related to
healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) prevention and control practices in European
nurse students. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to (1) elaborate an
item pool related to the educational environment, the healthcare setting environment, and
the attitudes, beliefs, and performance of the nursing students regarding HCAI prevention
and control and (2) analyze psychometric properties of the scale using factor analysis.
The validated InovSafeCare scale was applied to undergraduate nursing students of
five European Higher Education Institutions. The partial least square structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM) method with SMART-PLS3 software was used. The study sample
consists of 657 nursing students, who responded a self-report inventory. From the
analyzed data were identified 14 factors. The InovSafeCare scale reveals good validity
and reliability of the dimensions in different European countries.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Approach Developed According to Sustainable Development Goals and Challenges for Future Professionals in Social Intervention
In 2015, the United Nations and various countries committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 goals revolve around 3 main axes: eradicating poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring peace and prosperity for all people by 2030. These goals are integrated so that interventions in one area inevitably affect the others. Undoubtedly, this application involves developing competencies related to Prejudice, conflict resolution, and empowerment. Our research aims to analyse the knowledge and competency of university students undergoing specific training to facilitate the application of UNESCO’s objectives in their work performance, while incorporating human rights as a basis for all future actions. A total of 241 students from the University of Salamanca participated. The average age of the sample was 21.13 years; 76.8% were female, and 23.2% were male (22.41 ± 7.17 years old). The data collection protocol included questions related to knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals and involving SDGs in their personal life and future profession, which were assessed using the empowerment Scale, the Conflictalk Scale, and the Subtle and Overt Bias Scale. Significant differences were found between SDGs knowledge and involvement with academic courses. There was a direct relationship between this knowledge and involvement with the control, esteem, and activism dimensions of the Empowerment Scale, cooperative from the Conflictalk Scale, and positive emotions had inverse relationships with threat–rejection, and traditional values from the prejudice scale. Our study found that students who are more engaged with the SDGs resolve conflicts cooperatively, foster community activism, and experience positive emotions, whereas students with aggressive conflict resolution are more Prejudiced
Innovative educational approach in healthcare-associated infection prevention and control. Results of a european study
[EN] Prevent and control healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a priority in healthcare assistance, not only due to present COVID-19 pandemic. Annually, around 3.2 million patients are affected by one of these infections and it is estimated that without controlling them, by 2050, 10 million more people could die every year, with especial relevance among elderly with infectious situations representing a third of mortality in people over 65 years old. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in healthcare area have an important role in this panorama, by preparing students to be future professionals, stimulating them to have an innovative and entrepreneurial approach to today’s real-life challenges. A mixed-methods research was conducted, at European level (in Portugal, Finland, Poland and Spain), to facilitate learning of good practices on HAIs prevention and control while developing innovative solutions. 1475 participants were enrolled, from all partner HEI: 79 professors and mentors were interviewed (individual or focus group), 1326 final year nursing students made a self-report inventory (application of InovSafeCare Scale) and 70 students participated on focus group (agile piloting of the Model). The result of this research is a pedagogical model that mixes dimensions and methods that take nursing students closer to the demands of HAIs prevention and control and capacitates them to transfer knowledge to work settings with an innovative and entrepreneurial perspective – the InovSafeCare Model
