Estudio descriptivo que utiliza como fuente
de datos material bibliográfico y digital.
Tiene por objeto analizar la visión que de la
enfermería tiene la sociedad y el papel desarrollado
por la profesión enfermera en el ámbito cotidiano.
Se constata el escaso impacto de nuestra profesión
como autora de artículos de difusión popular en el ámbito de la Educación para la Salud, así
como la visión romántica o frívola que la literatura
contemporánea y los medios de comunicación
ofrecen de la enfermería, como reflejo de una opinión
pública muy extendida.Descriptive study using literature and digital
material as sources, its aim is to analyse
the perception society has of nursing and
the role nurses play in daily life.
The scarce impact of our profession as authors
of dissemination articles in the field of Health
Education is a fact. So is the romantic or frivolous
view of Nursing that current literature and mass
media offer, as a reflection of common public opinion
Friendship and Consumption Networks in Adolescents and Their Relationship to Stress and Cannabis Use Intention
Background: Cannabis is an illegal psychoactive substance that's use is widespread among adolescents. During adolescence, many changes can cause stress. In this phase, the group of friends becomes increasingly important, being a situation of vulnerability for the beginning of cannabis use, either as an escape mechanism or due to peer's influence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the structure of the consumption and friendship network, the intention to use cannabis, and the stress in a secondary school class.
Methods: An online platform with validated self-reported questionnaires were used for data collection.
Results: The sample consisted of adolescents (n = 20) aged 14-16 from a third-year class of compulsory secondary education in Ponferrada (León, Spain). Significant differences were obtained concerning consumption intention and the different network metrics in both the friendship and consumption networks. Subsequently, the representation of these networks was carried out.
Conclusions: Social Network Analysis is a very useful tool that provides a picture of the context in which adolescents are located. In the consumption network, there are central actors who have not yet consumed cannabis; this is a crucial moment to implement prevention strategies.S
Rheological behaviour and functionality of inulin-extra virgin olive oil-based mashed potatoes
Developing products having a high nutritional value and good storage stability during freezing is a challenge. Inulin (I) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) have interesting functional properties. The e?ect of the addition of I and EVOO blends at di?erent I:EVOO ratios (0:0, 0:60, 15:45, 30:30, 45:15, 60:0, 30:45 and 45:30) on the rheological, physical, sensory and structural properties of fresh and frozen ? thawed mashed potatoes formulated without and with added cryoprotectants was analysed and compared. Addition of I and EVOO (either alone or blended) reduced apparent viscosity and pseudoplasticity producing softer systems, indicating that both ingredients behave as soft ?llers. Samples with added I at the higher concentrations )1 (?45 g kg ) showed lower ?ow index and consistency, which is related to formation of smaller I particles; microphotographs indicated that gelling properties of I depended mostly upon processing. Frozen ? thawed samples were judged more acceptable and creamier than their fresh counterparts

Actitudes homófobas de los jóvenes hacia gays y lesbianas
La homofobia constituye un problema social que lejos de eliminarse parece adaptarse a los tiempos actuales tomando
formas más sutiles que son explicadas en base a factores personales. El objetivo de esta investigación está dirigido a
conocer los niveles de homofobia de los jóvenes. Para ello, se tomó una muestra de 601 estudiantes universitarios y de
ciclos formativos con edades comprendidas entre 17.46 y 34.47 años (M = 22.47 años y D.T. = 2.96), de los cuales el
65.1% son mujeres, a los que se les administró la escala Homphobia Modern Scale (Raja y Stokes, 1998) validada al
español por Rodríguez, Lameiras, Carrera y Vallejo (2013). Pese a que los niveles de homofobia de los participantes
son bajos, existen diferencias significativas entre los diferentes grupos en función de sus características. Los análisis de
ANOVA factorial mostraron que los mayores niveles de homofobia quedan explicados por ser hombre, no universitario,
no tener amigos homosexuales y por estar en los cursos iniciales de la rama de conocimiento de ciencias y experimentales.
Las conclusiones subrayan la importancia de la formación para la promoción de actitudes positivas hacia las personas
homosexuales.Homophobia is a social problem that is far from disappearing and instead seems to adapt to the current times becoming
a much more subtle forms that are explained for personal factors. The aim of this study is to find out the levels of
homophobia among young people. For this, a sample of 601 university and vocational training students ranging from
17.46 to 34.47 years old (M = 22.47, SD = 2.96) was selected, of which 65.1% are women, who were administered the
Modern Homphobia Scale (Raja & Stokes, 1998) validated the Spanish for Rodriguez, Lameiras, Carrera & Vallejo
(2013). Even though homophobia levels of participants are low, there are significant differences between the groups,
according to their characteristics. The factorial ANOVA analysis showed that the greater levels of homophobic attitudes
are explained as be a man, not college, not having gay friends and being in the beginning courses of the branch
of knowledge of sciences and experimental. The conclusions underline the importance of training to promote positive
attitudes toward homosexual persons
Self perceived health and stress in the pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic
[EN] Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has had numerous maternal and neonatal consequences, especially at the mental level. Pregnant women experience a rise in anxiety symptoms and prenatal stress. Aims: The aim was to describe self-perceived health status, general stress and prenatal stress and to analyze relations and associations with sociodemographic factors. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted using non-probabilistic circumstantial sampling. The sample was recruited during the first trimester of pregnancy during the control obstetrical visit. The Google Forms platform was used. A total of 297 women participated in the study. The Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (PDQ), the Perceived Stress Score (PSS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) were used. Results: Primiparas presented higher levels of worry about childbirth and the baby (10.93 ± 4.73) than multiparous women (9.88 ± 3.96). Somatic symptoms were present in 6% of the women. Anxiety-insomnia was scored positively by 18% of the women. In the Spearman correlation analysis, statistically significant values were found between almost all study variables. A positive correlation was observed between self-perceived health and prenatal and general stress levels. Discussion: During the first trimester of gestation, prenatal concerns increase when levels of anxiety, insomnia and depression also increase. There is a clear relationship between prenatal worries, anxiety, insomnia and depression with stress. Health education that focuses on mental health of pregnant women would help reduce worries during pregnancy and would improve the pregnant women perception of her health and well-being.S
A rheological characterization of mashed potatoes enriched with soy protein isolate
The effect of the addition of soy protein isolate (SPI) (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g kg ) on viscoelastic properties, large deformation measurements and microstructure of fresh (FM) and frozen/thawed (F/TM) mashed potatoes was investigated. Rheological data showed weak gel behaviour for both FM and F/TM potatoes without and with added SPI together with a signi?cant decrease of system viscoelasticity (G and G ) with increasing SPI volume fraction, primarily attributed to the no interaction between the amylose/amylopectine matrix and the dispersed SPI particles or aggregates as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micrographs also showed that SPI formed white coarse aggregates. A freeze/thaw cycle produced a more signi?cant decrease in viscoelastic functions, due to superior aggregation of denatured SPI and reduced water activity. In F/TM samples, high correlations between small and large deformation measurements were found. Results may be useful for technological applications in SPI-enriched
Trends and opportunities in research on disability and work: an interdisciplinary perspective.
This study aims to analyze status, trends, and possible future research areas in the literature on “disability and work.” It
is an in-depth analysis of articles related to this field, published during 1991–2017, in journals included in the Science and
Social Sciences Citation Index. Bibliometric methods helped to describe evolution in publications, the most representative
contributors, methods applied, main concepts and theories, and topics explored (content analysis). A co-word analysis
allowed to create knowledge maps on topics and identify potential venues for future research. The contribution is threefold.
First, it contributes to knowledge advancement concerning disability in workplaces, opening new possibilities to discover
important research areas. Second, it offers conceptual, theoretical, and methodological suggestions for future research.
Third, it has practical implications related to inclusive strategies and initiatives in the workplace which human resource
practitioners can use to promote the participation of workers with disabilities improving their labor experience.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support

Cannabis Use and Emotional Intelligence in Adolescents during COVID-19 Confinement: A Social Network Analysis Approach
[EN] Confinement by COVID-19 had negative consequences on adolescent mental health, including increased cannabis use. Cannabis is related to variables that influence health and well-being. Emotional Intelligence is associated with adaptive coping styles, peer relationships, and social–emotional competencies. In adolescence, peer selection plays a unique role in the initiation of substance use. However, there are no studies during a confinement stage that analyse the relationships between networks, Emotional Intelligence, and cannabis use. The aim of this paper is to describe and analyse the consumption and friendship networks of an adolescent classroom and their relationship with Emotional Intelligence, cannabis use, and gender during COVID-19 confinement. Participants completed different questionnaires for Emotional Intelligence, cannabis use, and the consumption and friendship network. The sample consisted of 21 students from 10th grade, of which 47.6% were consumers. The friendship network correlates with the consumption network, and significant associations between emotional repair and being a cannabis user. The regression model points to the friendship network as a significant variable in predicting the classroom use network. This study highlights the role of the Social Network Analysis in predicting consumption networks during a COVID-19 confinement stage and serves as a tool for cannabis use prevention interventions in a specific population.S
