- PublicationOpen Access7-Nitroindazole reduces L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias in non-human Parkinsonian primate(The Royal Society Publishing, 2023-03) Herrero Ezquerro, María Trinidad; Yuste, J.E.; Cuenca, L.; Almela, P.; De Pablos, V.; González Cuello, A.; Del Bel, E.; Navarro Zaragoza, J.; Fernández Villalba, E.; Enfermería
- PublicationOpen AccessA New Tool to Study Parkinsonism in the Context of Aging: MPTP Intoxication in a Natural Model of Multimorbidity(MDPI, ) Cuenca, Lorena; Pizzichini, Elisa; Gonçalves, Valeria C.; Guillén Díaz, María; Aguilar Moñino, Elena; Sánchez Rodrigo, Consuelo; González Cuello, Ana María; Fernández Villalba, Emiliano; Herrero, María Trinidad; EnfermeríaThe diurnal rodent Octodon degus (O. degus) is considered an attractive natural model for Alzheimer’s disease and other human age-related features. However, it has not been explored so far if the O. degus could be used as a model to study Parkinson’s disease. To test this idea, 10 adult male O. degus were divided into control group and MPTP-intoxicated animals. Motor condition and cognition were examined. Dopaminergic degeneration was studied in the ventral mesencephalon and in the striatum. Neuroinflammation was also evaluated in the ventral mesencephalon, in the striatum and in the dorsal hippocampus. MPTP animals showed significant alterations in motor activity and in visuospatial memory. Postmortem analysis revealed a significant decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral mesencephalon of MPTP animals, although no differences were found in their striatal terminals. We observed a significant increase in neuroinflammatory responses in the mesencephalon, in the striatum and in the hippocampus of MPTP-intoxicated animals. Additionally, changes in the subcellular expression of the calcium-binding protein S100 were found in the astrocytes in the nigrostriatal pathway. These findings prove for the first time that O. degus are sensitive to MPTP intoxication and, therefore, is a suitable model for experimental Parkinsonism in the context of aging.

- PublicationEmbargoAssessing sexual function in middle-aged sexually active Spanish women: a community-based study focusing on the intimate partner.(2021-03) Martinez Madrid, María M.; Arnau Sánchez, José; González Cuello, Ana María; EnfermeríaObjective: This study evaluated sexual function, the influence of the relationship with the intimate partner, and the factors related to sexual function in middle-aged Spanish women. Methods: The methodology entailed a cross-sectional study of 187 sexually active women aged 40-59 years. The participants were randomly recruited from primary public health care. They completed the 6-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-6), the short-form Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST), and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential analysis was performed. Results: The participants’ median age was 49 years, 90.4% had a steady intimate partner, 54.5% were postmenopausal, 43.3% had chronic diseases, 12.3% reported alcohol abuse, and 35.8% smoked. The prevalence of low sexual function was 33.16% in all the women, and 44.12% in the postmenopausal women (an FSFI-6 total score 19 reflects low sexual function). WAST screening detected 17.65% cases of intimate partner violence (WAST total score 1), with low sexual function in 87.9%. Multiple linear regression analysis models revealed that the lowest total FSFI-6 scores (worst sexual function) were negatively associated with intimate partner violence (IPV), depression, hysterectomy, and associated female issues. The scores in the FSFI-6 domains (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) were linked to IPV (P < 0.001), except for lubrication (P < 0.001postmenopausal).
- PublicationOpen AccessBarriers Perceived by Managers and Clinical Professionals Related to the Implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Breastfeeding through the Best Practice Spotlight Organization Program(MDPI, 2020-08-27) Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Harillo Aceved, David; Armero Barranco, David; Leal Costa, César; Moral García, José Enrique; Ruzafa Martínez, María; Enfermería: International institutions facilitate the contact of health professionals to evidence-based recommendations for promoting exclusive breast feeding (BF). However, the achievement of good rates of exclusive BF is still far from the optimum. The intention of the present work is to determine the barriers identified by managers and health professionals involved in the implementation and sustainability of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for breastfeeding under the auspices of the Best Practice Spotlight Organization program. A qualitative research study was carried out. The participants were managers, healthcare assistants, nurses, midwives, pediatricians and gynecologists. Semi-structured interviews were conducted which were transcribed and analyzed using the six steps of thematic analysis. Twenty interviews were conducted, which defined four major themes: (1) Lack of resources and their adaptation; (2) Where, Who and How; (3) Dissemination and reach of the project to the professionals; and (4) The mother and her surroundings. This research identifies the barriers perceived by the health professionals involved in the implementation, with the addition of the managers as well. Novel barriers appeared such as the ambivalent role of the midwives and the fact that this CPG is about promoting health. The efforts for promoting the implementation program should be continuous, and the services should be extended to primary care.

- PublicationOpen AccessChanges in nurse job outcomes after 4 years of a Best Practice Spotlight Organization® programme implementation in the Spanish National Health Context(2021-05) Ruzafa Martinez, Maria; Hernández Méndez, Solanger; Garcia Gonzalez, Jessica; Leal Costa, Cesar; Martínez González, Miguel Ángel; Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; EnfermeríaAim: To evaluate the changes produced after the application of the Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (BPSO® ) Program on the attitude towards the evidence-based practice, the nurses' perception of the organisational climate and nurse outcomes in a health area of the Spanish National Health System. Background: There is limited research that associates strategies of evidence-based practice implementation with changes on the work environment and nurse outcomes. Methods: Cross-sectional study that compared data on the nurses' perception of the work environment. Five guidelines were implemented between 2012 and 2015 in a health area. Data were collected in 2012 and 2016/2017, using a questionnaire consisting of five previously validated tools. X2 , t test, ANOVA and multivariate analysis were carried out. Results: A total of 451 nurses participated. Compared with the baseline evaluation in 2012, several outcomes changed significantly (p < .001), nurses were younger and were more satisfied with "salary", "annual leaves" and "sick leave". The rest of the nurse outcomes were not modified. Conclusions: Nurses' perception of the work environment is favourable, although the application of the BPSO® Program has not produced any major changes. Implications for nursing management: Measures are suggested that are oriented towards the planning of staffing and the increase in the participation of the nursing staff in programmes of implementation of guidelines.
- PublicationOpen AccessComparative study analysing women’s childbirth satisfaction and obstetric outcomes across two different models of maternity care(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-21) Conesa Ferrer, María Belén; Canteras Jordana, Manuel; Ballesteros Meseguer, Carmen; Carrillo García, César; Martínez Roche, María Emilia; EnfermeríaObjectives: To describe the differences in obstetrical results and women’s childbirth satisfaction across 2 different models of maternity care (biomedical model and humanised birth). Setting: 2 university hospitals in south-eastern Spain from April to October 2013. Design: A correlational descriptive study. Participants: A convenience sample of 406 women participated in the study, 204 of the biomedical model and 202 of the humanised model. Results: The differences in obstetrical results were (biomedical model/humanised model): onset of labour (spontaneous 66/137, augmentation 70/1, p=0.0005), pain relief (epidural 172/132, no pain relief 9/40, p=0.0005), mode of delivery (normal vaginal 140/165, instrumental 48/23, p=0.004), length of labour (0–4 hours 69/93, >4 hours 133/108, p=0.011), condition of perineum (intact perineum or tear 94/178, episiotomy 100/24, p=0.0005). The total questionnaire score (100) gave a mean (M) of 78.33 and SD of 8.46 in the biomedical model of care and an M of 82.01 and SD of 7.97 in the humanised model of care (p=0.0005). In the analysis of the results per items, statistical differences were found in 8 of the 9 subscales. The highest scores were reached in the humanised model of maternity care. Conclusions: The humanised model of maternity care offers better obstetrical outcomes and women’s satisfaction scores during the labour, birth and immediate postnatal period than does the biomedical model.

- PublicationOpen AccessCross cultural validation of the healthcare provider’s practices, attitudes, self-confidence, and knowledge regarding bullying questionnaire.(MDPI, 2024-03-07) Celdrán-Navarro, M. D. C; Jiménez-Ruiz, Ismael; Seva Llor, Ana Myriam; Moore, James R.; Leal-Costa, César; EnfermeríaAbstract: How can we know the reality of the context of bullying in the field of primary health care? The aim of this study is to obtain a validated and reliable tool that allows measurement of the involvement of primary care professionals in addressing bullying through a systematic content validation process. A cross-cultural validation of the Healthcare Provider’s Practices, Attitudes, Self-Confidence, and Knowledge Regarding Bullying Questionnaire was conducted for the Spanish perspective. This involved linguistic adaptation through translation–back-translation, content validity index (CVI) analysis, construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α). The total CVI was 0.95, with individual item scores ≥ 0.78. CFA revealed a good fit for the three subscales, with discrimination indices (item–total correlation within the dimension) > 0.30. Cronbach’s α for each dimension indicated a high level of reliability, with values of 0.735 for attitudes, 0.940 for self-confidence, and 0.895 for knowledge. The questionnaire is valid and reliable for evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, and self-confidence of primary care professionals in Spain regarding bullying. Its validity and reliability guarantee its potential use in other health settings and may lead to better training of professionals and school biopsychosocial health.

- PublicationOpen AccessDeterminants of evidence implementation by nurses. #Evidencer model for the use of Evidence-Based Practice (#EvidencerMUSEBP): A structural equation model.(2024-03) Ruzafa-Martinez, Maria; Fernández-Salazar, Serafin; Leal-Costa, César; Ramos-Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; EnfermeríaExisting studies have identified specific factors influencing some dimensions of Evidence based Practice (EBP) competence and use. However, the way these factors interact still needs to be clarified. The purpose of the study was to test a model based on the Determinant Frameworks that explain the relationships and the direct pathways between the characteristics of the nurses, the context, and the implementation strategies, and the dimensions of EBP competence, attitude, knowledge, skills, and use of EBP. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Spain during January and February 2020, involving 2,370 nurses employed in public health centers across all autonomous communities within the National Health System. An online survey was administered to gather data, addressing various topics related to the nurses' characteristics, the context in which they worked, the implementation strategy, and their competence in evidence-based practice (EBP). As depicted in the conceptual framework, a structural equation model was constructed to test the hypothesized relationships among key study variables. The model obtained showed a good fit (χ2/df = 3.20, p < 0.001; RMSEA = 0.030 [90% CI 0.025, 0.036]; CFI = 0.989; GFI = 0.990; TLI = 0.983). The context, more specifically, the dimensions of nurse participation in the center´s affairs, nursing foundations for quality of care, nurse manager ability leadership and support of nurses, and implementation strategy have a direct and positive effect on EBP use. Training in EBP, reading scientific articles, and having a doctorate are associated with higher competence and knowledge in EBP. The final fit shows the #Evidencer model for the use of EBP (#EvidencerMUSEBP) with two main components: the contextual and strategic factors that influence the implementation of EBP and the characteristics of the professionals, such as their training and reading of articles, which have an impact on EBP competence. This model could guide healthcare organizations in proposing comprehensive interventions to improve EBP use and the competency of nurses.

- PublicationEmbargoDiseño y validación de un modelo pedagógico basado en simulación clínica dirigido a la formación de enfermería en el sistema de triaje estadounidense Emergency Severity Index(SEMES (Sociedad Española de Medicina de Emergencias), 2015-06-01) Hernández Ruipérez, Tomás; Adánez Martínez, María de Gracia; Díaz Agea, José Luís; García Pérez, Bartolomé; Leal Costa, César; EnfermeríaObjetivo. Diseñar y validar un modelo pedagógico articulado en torno a técnicas de simulación clínica, dirigido a formar al personal de enfermería en el sistema de triaje norteamericano Emergency Severity Index (ESI). Método. Estudio descriptivo, transversal, realizado en el servicio de urgencias del Hospital Clínico Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca (Murcia). Se ha estructurado en tres fases (conocimiento teórico, adquisición de habilidades y aplicabilidad), con una muestra de 55, 43 y 32 participantes respectivamente (enfermeros con experiencia mínima de 1 año en urgencias) a los que, tras una formación en triaje ESI, participaron en sesiones de simulación de triaje con pacientes-actores y, en la última fase, con pacientes reales en un escenario real. Para analizar el grado de concordancia entre el nivel adjudicado por los enfermeros y el patrón oro se utilizó el índice kappa de Cohen (K) y coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI). Resultados. En las tres fases se obtuvieron 1.100, 799 y 410 observaciones con un grado de acuerdo, según el índice K de Cohen, de 0,68, 0,67 y 0,68, y un CCI, de 0,870, 0,836 y 0,811, respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos expresan un grado de acuerdo y concordancia bueno. Conclusiones. Este trabajo establece la pertinencia de la simulación clínica como herramienta docente en los programas de formación en técnicas de triaje estructurado y, en especial, en el sistema de triaje ESI. A partir de los resultados de fiabilidad obtenidos (concordancia interobservador), podemos afirmar que se abre una nueva vía de investigación para demostrar si esta nueva técnica es capaz de mejorar la fiabilidad en la toma de decisiones de triaje.
- PublicationOpen AccessDisruptive Behavior at Hospitals and Factors Associated to Safer Care: A Systematic Review(2021-12-23) Moreno Leal, Pedro; Leal Costa, César; Díaz Agea, José Luis; Jiménez Ruiz, Ismael; Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Ruzafa Martínez, María; De Souza Oliveira, Adriana Catarina; EnfermeríaDisruptive behavior creates a dysfunctional culture that has a negative impact on work relations and influences the quality of care and safety of the patient. The objective of the present work is to provide the best methodological quality scientific evidence available on disruptive behavior at a hospital, the aspect associated with the safety of the patient, and its impact on quality of care. For this, we included studies that addressed the prevalence of disruptive behaviors observed in the area of hospital health and its professionals. The selection, eligibility, data extraction and evaluation of the risk of bias stages were conducted by two researchers, and any discrepancies were solved by a third researcher. The data presented show that disruptive behaviors are frequently observed in the daily life of health professionals, and compromise the quality of care, the safety of the patient, and can lead to adverse effects. The results presented indicate that the appearance of disruptive behaviors compromises the quality of care, the safety of the patient, and the appearance of adverse effects, and can also affect the physical and mental health of the health professionals.

- PublicationRestrictedDoes Clinical Simulation Learning Enhance Evidence-Based Practice? A Quasi-Experimental Study Involving Nursing Students(Elsevier, 2023-12-27) Leal Costa, César; Carrasco Guirao, José Jorge; Adánez Martínez, María Gracia; Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Ruzafa Martínez, María; Suárez Cortés, María; Jiménez Ruiz, Ismael; Molina Rodríguez, Alonso; Díaz Agea, José Luis; EnfermeríaBackground: Clinical simulation provides a safe learning environment and enhances the clinical and non-technical skills of students in Nursing. Meanwhile, evidence-based practice is crucial as it involves utilizing the best available research to deliver high-quality care. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) on nursing students’ acquisition of evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with third-year undergraduate nursing students using a non-randomized intervention group. Questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic and academic data and assess students’ EBP competence. EBP competence was compared before and after implementing an HFS training program. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in EBP competence after HFS training. Students showed a statistically significant increase in EBP-related knowledge and skills after the HFS training program. Conclusions: HFS enables the improvement of evidence-based practice competency in nursing students. Clinical simulation-based training improves the evidence-based practice of student nurses as it can promote evidence-based practice and thus improve the quality of patient care.
