Una clase política más católica en sociedades religiosamente más plurales

[ES] : Los diputados latinoamericanos parecen mostrar un ligero patrón diferente a los ciudadanos que representan en el terreno de sus convicciones religiosas así como en la práctica. Los datos de PELA (Proyecto de Élites Parlamentarias de la Universidad de Salamanca) en comparación con los del Barómetro de las Américas dibujan una clase política más católica que la sociedad latinoamericana. También señalan diferencias notables entre países, avalándose una vez más la heterogeneidad latinoamericana

El comercio y la inversión con el país asiático se han disparado desde el comienzo de la década de 1990. América Latina se ha convertido en un proveedor clave de energía, recursos naturales y productos alimenticios para China, que a su vez, ha adquirido el potencial para contrarrestar la influencia de Estados Unidos en la región

Opinión sobre el aborto desde la perspectiva de los legisladores latinoamericanos

[ES] La interrupción voluntaria del embarazo por parte de la mujer viene marcando la agenda política de los países de América Latina a lo largo de la última década.

De los diecisiete países analizados, tan sólo tres están a favor de dicha interrupción: Uruguay, Argentina y México y en el extremo opuesto, con una postura mucho menos permisiva, se sitúan Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Chile, Costa Rica y Guatemala

Aplicação de métodos antropométricos no processo de enfermagem de pesquisa em enfermagem

Objectives: to identify anthropometric techniques and measurements related to nursing diagnoses and interventions, included in the NANDA International (NANDA-I) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), respectively. Methods: descriptive study of the revision of the NANDA-I and NIC taxonomies by professors of Nursing of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Results: A total of 24 nursing diagnoses, 20 nursing interventions and 71 nursing activities were identified that require the use of anthropometric measurements. Conclusions: anthropometric measurements are necessary in the conduct of numerous nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions that are commonly used in healthcare practice. It would be useful to systematize the use of anthropometric techniques in the application of the nursing process and to standardize this training process.Objetivos: Identificar técnicas e medidas antropométricas relacionadas com diagnósticos e intervenções de enfermagem, incluídas na NANDA-Internacional (NANDA-I) e na Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) respectivamente. Métodos: estudo descritivo. Revisão das taxonomias NANDA-I e NIC por Professores de Enfermagem da Universidade Complutense de Madrid. Resultados: foram identificados 24 diagnósticos de enfermagem, 20 intervenções de enfermagem e 71 atividades de enfermagem que exigem o uso de medidas antropométricas. Conclusões: as medidas antropométricas são necessárias na realização de diversos diagnósticos de enfermagem e intervenções de enfermagem comummente utilizadas na prática assistencial. Seria útil sistematizar o uso de técnicas antropométricas na aplicação do processo de enfermagem e padronizar o processo de formação.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The attitude towards vaccination of health sciences students at a Spanish university improved over the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic

It is important to know the attitudes of students of health sciences (SHSs) towards vaccination since they will be tomorrow’s health professionals. Vaccination is a powerful tool in the fight against COVID-19. The aim of the present, cross-sectional study was to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the attitude of SHSs towards vaccination. Data were collected in the form of a questionnaire from all students of nursing, physiotherapy and chiropody matriculated at a Madrid University for the academic year 2019/2020 (i.e., before the start of the pandemic [Q1]), and from all those matriculated for the year 2021/22 (i.e., c18 months after the pandemic was declared [Q2]). A multivariate analysis was performed to identify the influence of sex, degree being studied, course year and the time of answering (Q1 or Q2), on the dimensions Beliefs, Behaviours and General Attitude. Overall, 1894 questionnaires were returned (934 [49.3%] for Q1, and 960 [50.7%] for Q2), of which 70.5% were completed by students of nursing, 14% by students of physiotherapy and 15.4% by those studying chiropody. In Q2, the results for all three dimensions were significantly better (p < 0.05). The most important influencing factors were being a student of nurs-ing, being in the final years of training (years 3 or 4), female gender and answering at the time of Q2. The results obtained are encouraging since student nurses (who showed Q1 and Q2 General Attitude scores of 3.34 and 3.47 (maximum possible 4), respectively [p < 0.05]) are the health professionals of tomorrow most likely to be involved in vaccination programmes.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Vaccine coverage against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in health sciences students during COVID-19 pandemic in Spain

Vaccination against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 is recommended in health sciences students to reduce the risk of acquiring these diseases and transmitting them to patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate how the pandemic influenced the modification of influenza vaccination coverage during the 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 campaigns and to analyze the vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 in health sciences students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among students of the Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry of the Complutense University of Madrid. A questionnaire was administered in two stages, the first, Q1, before the start of the pandemic, where we analyzed influenza coverage during the 2019/2020 campaign and a second, Q2, 18 months after the start of the pandemic where we analyzed influenza coverage during the 2021/2022 campaign and coverage against SARS-CoV-2. A total of 1894 students (58.78% of the total of those enrolled) participated. Flu vaccination coverage increased from 26.7% in Q1 to 35.0% in Q2 (p < 0.05), being higher in the age group older than 21 years, who studied nursing, were in their fourth year and lived with people at risk. Vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 was very high (97.8%), especially in students vaccinated against influenza. Coverage of the influenza vaccine in health sciences students increased from 2019–2020 to 2021–2022, being higher in the age group older than 21 years, who studied nursing, were in their first and fourth year and lived with people at risk. Coverage of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in health sciences students was very high, especially in those vaccinated against influenza.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Attitudes and behaviors towards vaccination in Portuguese nursing students

Knowing the attitudes and behaviors of nursing students in relation to vaccination is important because they will soon be determinant for the health literacy of the population. Vaccination remains the most effective response in the fight against communicable diseases, including COVID-19 and influenza. The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes and behaviors of Portuguese nursing students with regard to vaccination. A cross-sectional study was carried out, with data collection from nursing students at a university in Lisbon, Portugal. A sample of 216 nursing students was obtained, representing 67.1% of the students enrolled in this university. What stands out from the results of the questionnaire “Attitudes and Behaviors in Relation to Vaccination among Students of Health Sciences” is that for the majority of students the answers were positive; in addition, 84.7% had a completed vaccination schedule for COVID-19. Being a nursing student, being in the final years of the course and being a woman are the factors that most influence the positive attitude of the students. The results obtained are motivating, because these students will be the future health professionals most likely to integrate health promotion programs through vaccination.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
