La imagen social de la enfermería

Trabajo fin de grado en EnfermeríaIntroducción: La Imagen Social de Enfermería es un fenómeno complejo y dinámico que ha sido tratado desde diversas perspectivas, y en cuya formación intervienen factores socioeconómicos, culturales, profesionales, históricos y psicológicos. Una imagen estereotipada o distorsionada puede conllevar una serie de efectos negativos: déficit de entrada de nuevos profesionales, falta de reconocimiento social e institucional, frustración y baja autoestima de los propios profesionales. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión narrativa sobre la imagen social de Enfermería para conocer que conocimientos, percepciones y opiniones tiene el público sobre esta profesión. Metodología: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica mediante las bases de datos PudMed, CINAHL, Cuiden, SciELO Citation Index (WOS), PsycINFO (Ebsco) Science Direct y en el portal bibliográfico Dialnet y Google Scholar. Se utilizó un límite temporal de 10 años, textos completos en castellano, inglés y portugués, y un lenguaje libre y controlado. Resultados: Los 17 artículos obtenidos indican que existe un desconocimiento en cuanto a las funciones, cualidades y características de los enfermeros, así como sobre su formación profesional. No obstante, la sociedad se encuentra satisfecha con sus servicios. Consideran la Enfermería como importante y necesaria en el sistema de salud, merecedora de respeto y admiración. Conclusiones: Es necesario continuar trabajando en la mejora de la imagen profesional de Enfermería, aumentando su visibilidad. Debe comunicarse lo que realmente hacen los enfermeros a través de una mayor presencia en los medios de comunicación, utilizando las nuevas plataformas tecnológicas. Así mismo, debe desarrollarse más el ámbito investigador y docente. Sin olvidarse de hacer un ejercicio de autorreflexión en el que los enfermeros sean conscientes de la importancia de una imagen adecuada acorde con la realidad actual.Introduction: The social image of Nursing is a complex and dynamic phenomenon that has been studied from various perspectives. Socioeconomic, cultural, professional, historical, and psychological factors play an important role in the construction of such image. A stereotyped image of nursing has negative effects, including a decrease in number of nurses, low social recognition of the profession, and frustration and low self-esteem from nurses themselves. Objective: The purpose of this paper is to develop a narrative review about social image of the Nursing profession in order to understand the knowledge, perceptions, and opinions that public has about it. Methodology: Sources of this work included the following databases: PudMed, CINAHL, Cuiden, SciELO Citation Index (WOS), Science Direct, PsycINFO (Ebsco), and public search engines such as Dialnet, Google Scholar. It was used as temporal limit the last 10 years, as well as articles in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Also it was employed free and controlled language. Results: The 17 collected articles indicate a general lack of knowledge in relation to how the public evaluates the professional formation of nurses. However, the general public concludes that they are overall satisfied with their work. Nurses are widely seen as an important part of the healthcare system, and deserve respect and admiration. Conclusions: It is necessary to continue working in order to improve the societal image of Nursing, increasing its visibility. This greater communication with the public can be achieved with a higher presence in the media, using new technological platforms. It must be increased scientific research and teaching activities. Nurses should also partake in a self-evaluation exercise, so that they can comprehend the importance of their image according to current reality

Obstetric outcomes of sars-cov-2 infection in asymptomatic pregnant women

Altres ajuts: Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER)Around two percent of asymptomatic women in labor test positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Spain. Families and care providers face childbirth with uncertainty. We determined if SARS-CoV-2 infection at delivery among asymptomatic mothers had different obstetric outcomes compared to negative patients. This was a multicenter prospective study based on universal antenatal screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection. A total of 42 hospitals tested women admitted for delivery using polymerase chain reaction, from March to May 2020. We included positive mothers and a sample of negative mothers asymptomatic throughout the antenatal period, with 6-week postpartum follow-up. Association between SARS-CoV-2 and obstetric outcomes was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analyses. In total, 174 asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnancies were compared with 430 asymptomatic negative pregnancies. No differences were observed between both groups in key maternal and neonatal outcomes at delivery and follow-up, with the exception of prelabor rupture of membranes at term (adjusted odds ratio 1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.13-3.11; p = 0.015). Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers have higher odds of prelabor rupture of membranes at term, without an increase in perinatal complications, compared to negative mothers. Pregnant women testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 at admission for delivery should be reassured by their healthcare workers in the absence of symptoms

Internationalisation in Higher Education, Responding to New Opportunities and Challenges

This book celebrates ten years of research and is testament to the breadth and depth of research carried out by members of the CHEI community. The opening Foreword focuses on the development of the Centre, with particular emphasis on its appeal to ‘practitioner-researchers’ working in the field of international education and engaging in research. The nature of their research often stems from the practical knowledge they have built up over their career but also presents theoretical explorations of models developed for their field. The Introduction, written by the editors, sets the scene for the book, emphasising the evolving nature of the field, the growth of evidence-based research and the need to return to the genesis of internationalisation of higher education, which is rooted in social responsibility. The book itself is divided into six sections: the first consists of papers of broad reach, discussing overarching trends, the second concentrates on aspects of internationalisation of the curriculum at home, the third focuses on the student voice and experience, the fourth on various aspects of study abroad while the fifth presents a series of case studies. The last section is dedicated to the personal stories of the authors who have carried out most or all of their doctoral studies through the Centre

The association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and preterm delivery: a prospective study with a multivariable analysis.

To determine whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19 disease) exposure in pregnancy, compared to non-exposure, is associated with infection-related obstetric morbidity. We conducted a multicentre prospective study in pregnancy based on a universal antenatal screening program for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Throughout Spain 45 hospitals tested all women at admission on delivery ward using polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) for COVID-19 since late March 2020. The cohort of positive mothers and the concurrent sample of negative mothers was followed up until 6-weeks post-partum. Multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for known confounding variables, determined the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection and obstetric outcomes. Preterm delivery (primary), premature rupture of membranes and neonatal intensive care unit admissions. Among 1009 screened pregnancies, 246 were SARS-CoV-2 positive. Compared to negative mothers (763 cases), SARS-CoV-2 infection increased the odds of preterm birth (34 vs 51, 13.8% vs 6.7%, aOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.32-3.36, p = 0.002); iatrogenic preterm delivery was more frequent in infected women (4.9% vs 1.3%, p = 0.001), while the occurrence of spontaneous preterm deliveries was statistically similar (6.1% vs 4.7%). An increased risk of premature rupture of membranes at term (39 vs 75, 15.8% vs 9.8%, aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.11-2.57, p = 0.013) and neonatal intensive care unit admissions (23 vs 18, 9.3% vs 2.4%, aOR 4.62, 95% CI 2.43-8.94, p  This prospective multicentre study demonstrated that pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 have more infection-related obstetric morbidity. This hypothesis merits evaluation of a causal association in further research
