ABSTRACT
Objective: The application of the Zentangle® Method in relation to relaxation and well-being has not been tested in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This study was to analyze the practising Zentangle® experience in patients with BPD. Methods: With a phenomenological interpretative approach, this qualitative study conducted semi-structured interviews with patients who participated in a 6-session Zentangle® program accomplished monthly over six months in a Personality Disorders Unit. A total of 15 patients were interviewed for this study. Smith, Flowers & Larkin method was applied for evaluation in the data analysis. Results: Based on our findings, three categories were extracted: As you sow, so shall you reap (participants reported improvements in concentration, relaxation, interpersonal relationships, and interaction with their environment as well as positive experiences toward acceptance and change); Many hands make light work (patients admitted feeling better in a group and developed group membership. They described how a group environment influences individual behavior); Drawing your own path (this method provides a medium for self-expression and self-knowledge through drawing, improving well-being through emotional expression, enhancing creativity, and increasing self-confidence). Conclusions: By practicing Zentangle®, patients achieve behavioral responses such as flexibility and adaptability, reaching greater emotional well-being through anxiety management, impulse control, learning to cope with problems, or improving self-esteem or concentration. Mental health nursing plays a critical active role in the comprehensive treatment of BPD, as well as the mobilization and coordination of complementary and diverse interventions.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Los Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria suponen uno de los problemas más prevalentes en la sociedad, siendo los cuidados prestados por las enfermeras fundamentales para su recuperación. Es por ello necesario comprender la experiencia que tienen los pacientes de los cuidados que reciben, para poder adaptarse a sus necesidades. Este estudio cualitativo propone aproximarse a la vivencia de cuidados de pacientes que padecen trastornos alimentarios desde un enfoque fenomenológico hermenéutico. Diecinueve pacientes de Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) colaboraron en la investigación a través de entrevistas y relatos, que fueron grabados, transcritos y analizados temáticamente. Los resultados se agruparon en cuatro categorías: 1. Una ayuda inesperada, 2. Buscar raíces: encontrar el origen, 3. Derribar barreras y construir contrafuertes, 4. Entender el significado del Trastorno Conducta Alimentaria. Para los pacientes, las enfermeras son una figura tanto inesperada como relevante, mostrando la importancia de los aspectos psicológicos y emocionales, sociales y personales como reguladores de su relación con la comida, la imagen y la vivencia de la corporeidad. A través del estudio, se profundiza en la relación de cuidados entre enfermera y paciente, obteniendo una perspectiva de cuidados desconocida, que posibilita ampliar el conocimiento e individualizar los cuidados prestados.
Abstract Eating Disorders are one of the most prevalent problems in our society being nursing care essential for recovery. It is therefore necessary to understand patients' experience in order to adapt their actions to patients' needs. This qualitative study offers an approach to nursing care experience of people with eating disorders from an hermeneutical phenomenological approach. Nineteen patients from Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) collaborated in the research through in-depth interviews and stories, which were thematically recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The results were grouped in four categories: 1. Unexpected help, 2. In search for roots: discovering the origin, 3. To break down barriers and build buttresses, 4. To understand the meaning of the eating disorder. Patients emphasize that nurses are as unexpected as relevant in their lives, showing the importance of psychological, emotional, social and personal aspects, as regulators of their food relationship, their body image and their corporeality experience. This investigation allows getting a deeper view of care relationship between nurses and patients, previously unknown, which makes it possible to widen the knowledge and to individualize the care provided.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: durante los años 2017-2020 han aumentado considera-blemente las series de televisión gracias a las nuevas plataformas. Un gran número de ellas se ha desarrollado en entornos sanitarios. Sin embargo, el papel de la enfermera en ellas dista mucho de la realidad.Métodos: se ha utilizado como diseño la Teoría fundamentada a través del análisis de las series de televisión emitidas entre 2017 y 2020 con personajes dedicados a las profesiones sanitarias (principalmente enfer-meras). Se ha llevado a cabo un muestreo no probabilístico e intencio-nal. La recogida de datos se ha realizado a través de la visualización del material audiovisual (capítulos y guiones). Finalmente, los datos se han codificado a través de las codificaciones abierta, axial y selectiva. Resultado: tras un exhaustivo análisis de los guiones de las series seleccionadas, se han identificado los siguientes temas: Enfermeras empoderadas vs liderazgo en el entorno sanitario, Enfermeras ocultas vs secretos guardados, Rol de cuidado vs calidez humana, Gracias por defendernos, protagonismo dudoso, y Jugando a ser Dios, la reivindi-cación de la profesión. Conclusiones: los medios audiovisuales desempeñan un papel funda-mental en la construcción de la representación mental que la sociedad tiene sobre las profesiones sanitarias. Estos han hecho poco por trans-mitir una imagen realista de la Enfermería. Las enfermeras necesitan vi-sibilidad como proveedoras de cuidados con base científica y no como meras asistentes a las prácticas médicas (AU)
Introduction: during 2017-2020, the number of television series has increased considerably thanks to the new platforms. A large number of them have been developed in healthcare environments. However, nurses role in them is far f rom reality. Methods: grounded Theory has been used as a design through the analysis of television series broadcasted between 2017 and 2020 with characters playing healthcare professions (mainly nurses). A non-probabilistic and intentional sampling was performed. Data collection has been carried out through audiovisual material visualization (chapters and scripts). Finally, data have been coded through open, axial and selective cod-ing.Outcome: after a comprehensive analysis of the selected series scripts, the following topics have been identified: Empowered nurses vs healthcare environment leadership, Hidden nurses vs kept secrets, Caring role vs human warmth, Thank you for upholding us, dubious protagonism, and Playing God, the vindication of the profession.Conclusions: audiovisual media play a key role in building so-cietys mental representation of health professions. They have done little to broadcast a realistic image of Nursing. Nurses need visibility as scientifically based care providers and not as mere assistants in medical practices. (AU)

OBJETIVO: describir el proceso de validación psicométrica del instrumento COPE-Index en población española. MÉTODO: estudio de validación del cuestionario COPE-Index, que cuenta con 15 ítems divididos en tres subescalas: valoración del impacto negativo, valoración del impacto positivo y calidad del apoyo. Los sujetos de estudio fueron 165 figuras cuidadoras de personas mayores, pertenecientes a la Asociación de Familiares de Alzheimer de la Comunidad de Madrid. Mediciones principales: factibilidad del instrumento COPE, consistencia interna, efecto techo y suelo, análisis factorial exploratorio, validez convergente y divergente (para ello se usaron los cuestionarios PACS, Duke-Unc y SF-12). RESULTADOS: la muestra de estudio estuvo formaba por 150 sujetos (tasa de respuesta del 90,9%). El 65,33% (n= 98) era mujer; la edad media (DE) fue de 64 (12,23). Los resultados se mostraron fiables en cuanto a su homogeneidad interna en relación con la subescala negativa y la subescala de calidad (alfas de Cronbach > 0,7) y menor en la subescala positiva (alfa de Cronbach: 0,61). No se apreció efecto techo ni suelo. La validez de constructo confirmó tres dimensiones del cuestionario COPE, que explicaban el 52% de la varianza total. En las pruebas de validez convergente/divergente se correlacionaron las puntuaciones de la subescala positiva del cuestionario COPE con los ítems del cuestionario PACS, la subescala negativa del cuestionario COPE se relacionó con las preguntas del cuestionario Duke-Unc y, finalmente, la subescala de calidad del cuestionario COPE se correlacionó con los ítems del instrumento SF-12 versión dos. CONCLUSIÓN: la versión española del cuestionario COPE-Index fue válida y confiable para identificar los aspectos positivos, negativos y de calidad del cuidado en cuidadoras de personas mayores
OBJECTIVE: to describe the psychometric validation process of the COPE-Index instrument for the Spanish population. METHOD: a validation study of the COPE-Index questionnaire, which consists of 15 items classified into three sub-scales: assessment of negative impact, assessment of positive impact, and quality of support. The study subjects were 165 carers for older people, from the Madrid Association of Relatives of Alzheimer's Patients. The main measurements were: the feasibility of the COPE instrument, internal consistency, ceiling and floor effect, exploratory factor analysis, convergent and divergent validity (the PACS, Duke-Unc and SF-12 questionnaires were used for this). RESULTS: the study sample was formed by 150 subjects (90.9% response rate). Of these, 65.33% (n= 98) were female, and their mean age (SD) was 64 (12.23). Results appeared reliable in terms of internal homogeneity regarding the negative sub-scale and the quality sub-scale (Cronbach's alphas > 0.7), and lower in the positive sub-scale (Cronbach's alpha: 0,61). Neither ceiling nor floor effect were observed. The construct validity confirmed three dimensions of the COPE questionnaire, which explained 52% of the total variance. In the convergent / divergent validity tests, the scores from the positive sub-scale of the COPE questionnaire were correlated with the PACS questionnaire items, the negative sub-scale of the COPE questionnaire was associated with the questions from the Duke-Unc questionnaire, and finally, the quality sub-scale of the COPE questionnaire was correlated with the items from the second version of the SF-12 instrument. CONCLUSION: the Spanish version of the COPE-Index questionnaire was valid and reliable to identify the positive, negative and quality aspects of care in caregivers for elderly persons
