Nivel competencial adquirido en el abordaje de la violencia de género en estudiantes de Enfermería / Competence level achieved by Nursing students for addressing gender-based violence

Objetivo: conocer el nivel competencial en violencia de género de los estudiantes de 4º de Grado de Enfermería y comparar su nivel competencial con el adquirido por estudiantes de 1º.Método: estudio descriptivo transversal. Población de estudio: estudiantado de 1º y 4º curso del Grado en Enfermería de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Recogida de datos: cuestionario validado Physician Readiness To Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS).Resultados: participaron 47 estudiantes; el 96,1% en 1º y el 85,7% en 4º eran mujeres. Un 80,8% (n= 21) del estudiantado de 1º y un 57,1% (n= 12) de 4º señalaron no haber recibido ninguna formación sobre la violencia sobre la mujer infligida por su pareja (VMIP) antes de iniciar el grado. El 52,4% (n= 11) de 4º afirmó haber recibido formación teórica frente al 34,6% (n= 9) de 1º; y formación práctica el 23,8% (n= 5) de 4º frente al 3,8% (n= 1) de 1º. El alumnado de 4º obtuvo puntuaciones más elevadas en los ítems referidos a la autopercepción sobre su capacidad de actuación ante la víctima y conocimiento sobre violencia de compañero íntimo. Tanto en 1º como en 4º se identificó ser mujer como principal factor de riesgo para sufrir maltrato, y se sintieron con menos capacitación en la cumplimentación de los requisitos legales asociados a la notificación del maltrato.Conclusión: la implantación de la guía docente mejora la capacidad del estudiantado para la detección de los casos de VMIP, mostrando dificultades para aplicar el conocimiento adquirido a situaciones concretas.

Objective: to understand the competence level achieved by Nursing Degree students in their fourth year for addressing gender-based violence, and to compare their competence level with that acquired by first year students.Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study. Study population: 1st and 4th students of Nursing Degree at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Madrid, Spain). Data collection: validated questionnaire Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS).Results: 47 Nursing students; 96.1% in first year and 85.7% in fourth year were female. 80.8% (n= 21) of first year students and 57.1% (n= 12) of fourth year claimed that they had never received any training on Intimate Partner Violence against Women (IPVAW) before starting their degree. 52.4% (n= 11) of fourth year students stated that they had received theoretical training vs. 34.6% (n= 9) of first year students; and 23.8% (n= 5) of fourth year students had received practical training vs. 3.8% (n= 1) of first year students. Students in their fourth year achieved higher scores in those items related to self-perception of their skills of action towards the victim, and knowledge about the IPVAW. In first and fourth year, they identified that being a woman was a top factor of risk for suffering abuse. Students from both years felt less qualified to complete the legal requirements associated with abuse reporting.Conclusion: the implementation of a teaching guide improved the ability of students to detect cases of IPVAW, showing the difficulties to apply the knowledge acquired into specific scenarios.

Resilience among primary care professionals in a time of pandemic: a qualitative study in the Spanish context.

OBJECTIVES: This study explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Spanish primary care structure and services and the mechanisms implemented by the primary care workforce to restore and reinforce their reference care model. DESIGN: An exploratory, qualitative study with semistructured interviews and a focus group discussion conducted during the fall semester of 2020. SETTING: Primary health centres in Madrid (Spain), chosen based on factors such as infection rates during the earliest stages of the pandemic and demographic and socioeconomic aspects. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 19 primary health and social care professionals were purposively selected. Criteria for inclusion were gender (male/female), at least 5 years of experience in their current position, category (health/social/administrative worker), and whether they worked in a rural or urban healthcare setting. RESULTS: Two main themes were identified: (1) reflecting on a model in crisis-particularly the reopening of centres to users and the proactive, participative strategies implemented by primary care professionals to reach their community; and (2) regaining a sense of purpose-how healthcare professionals implemented strategies to sustain their vision of their reference model. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed leadership deficiencies that, together with the initial unavailability of resources and difficulties maintaining face-to-face contact with users, triggered a sense of loss of professional identity. On the other hand, the analysis revealed potential strategies to restore and reinforce the traditional model, such as the adoption of digital technologies and reliance on community networks. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the importance of a solid reference framework and enhances the strengths and skills of the workforce to reinforce the community-based service provision model.
