ABSTRACT
Nomophobia is a phenomenon that describes the fear of not having one's mobile phone accessible. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of nomophobia among nursing students as well as its relationship with procrastination and social anxiety. METHODS: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 308 nursing students. Data were collected using the Nomophobia Questionnaire, Academic Procrastination Scale-Short Form, and Social Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults. Additionally, sociodemographic variables related to academic performance and smartphone use were collected. We performed a descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analysis of the Nomophobia Questionnaire score. RESULTS: 19.5% (n = 60) of the students presented with or were at high risk of nomophobic behaviour. Moreover, nomophobic behaviour was positively correlated with high levels of social anxiety (p < 0.001), longer daily smartphone usage time (p < 0.001), and a high frequency of smartphone checking in class (p < 0.001). The predictive variables for nomophobic behaviour included age, variables related to smartphone use, social anxiety levels, work, procrastination tendency, sex, and self-reported average grade. CONCLUSION: One out of five students in the sample studied presented with or were at high risk of nomophobic behaviour. Additionally, nomophobic behaviour was associated with social anxiety and variables related to smartphone use. This study was not registered.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the trend of opinion and satisfaction indicators of the Spanish national health system from 2005 to 2017. METHODS: Ecological study of time series analyzing the trend of eight indicators of opinion and satisfaction on the Spanish national health system and its autonomous communities from 2005 to 2017. The data was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and from the Health Barometer. The Prais-Winsten regression method was used. RESULTS: A static tendency was observed in the perception of users on how the health system works (APC = 1.898, 95%CI -0.954 - 4.751) and decreasing opinion on the improvement of primary care (APC = -0.283; 95%CI -0.335 - -0.121), specialized (APC = -0.241, 95%CI -0.74 - -0.109) and hospitalization (APC = -0.171, 95%CI -0.307 - -0.036). Satisfaction with knowledge and follow-up by the family doctor and pediatrician showed an increasing trend (APC = 7.939, 95%CI 3.965 - 11.914). Satisfaction with medical and nursing professionals was static. No large differences were observed in the trends of the indicators studied in the autonomous communities. CONCLUSIONS: A negative trend was observed in the opinion of the Spanish national health system users. Financing, human resources, quality management systems and differences in the autonomous communities may be some of the causes.

RESUMEN OBJETIVO Analizar la tendencia de indicadores de opinión y satisfacción del sistema nacional de salud español de 2005 a 2017. MÉTODOS Estudio ecológico de series temporales analizando la tendencia de ocho indicadores de opinión y satisfacción sobre el sistema nacional de salud y sus comunidades autónomas de 2005 a 2017. Los datos se obtuvieron del Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad y del Barómetro Sanitario. Se utilizó el método de autoregresión de Prais-Winsten. RESULTADOS Se observó una tendencia estática en la percepción de los usuarios sobre el funcionamiento del sistema sanitario (APC = 1,898; IC95% -0,954-4,751) y decreciente sobre la opinión en la mejora de la atención primaria (APC = -0.283; IC95% -0,335- -0.121), especializada (APC = -0,241; IC95% -0.74- -0.109) y hospitalización (APC = -0.171; IC95% -0,307- -0,036). La satisfacción con el conocimiento y seguimiento por el médico de familia y pediatra mostró una tendencia creciente (APC = 7,939; IC95% 3,965-11,914). La satisfacción con los profesionales de medicina y enfermería fue estática. No se observaron grandes diferencias en las tendencias de los indicadores estudiados en las comunidades autónomas. CONCLUSIONES Se observó una tendencia negativa en la opinión de los usuarios del sistema nacional de salud español. Financiación, recursos humanos, sistemas de gestión de calidad y diferencias en las comunidades autónomas pueden ser algunas de las causas.

Introducción: La prescripción de cuidados básicos con temporalidad en unidades de hospitalización médico-quirúrgicas representa una laguna en los planes de cuidados y los estudiantes de enfermería no pueden adquirir la competencia de gestionar cuidados básicos. El objetivo de este estudio es validar un plan de cuidados estandarizado para prescribir cuidados que pueda ser utilizado por estudiantes de enfermería durante la adquisición de las competencias relacionadas con cuidados básicos. Método: Se llevó a cabo un estudio cuali-cuantitativo con paneles de expertos combinando las técnicas grupo nominal (generar la hipótesis de trabajo y desarrollo del método de prescripción), Delphi modificado (validez de contenido) y grupo focal como técnica complementaria para alcanzar consenso. El estudio se realizó durante un periodo de 18 meses entre 2013-2014. Resultados: Se han construido tres parrillas de prescripción de cuidados estandarizados utilizando la escala de Barthel que utilizan los estudiantes de enfermería de segundo curso de Grado en la Universidad Jaume I de Castellón, con soporte electrónico. Conclusiones: En la revisión de la literatura no se han identificado trabajos que especifiquen como llevar a cabo estudios de validez de planes de cuidados estandarizados. En este estudio se utilizó una combinación de métodos similar a la utilizada por otros autores para el desarrollo de diferentes herramientas. Con este sistema de registro y prescripción se puede evaluar la calidad de los cuidados y potenciar el rol responsable de enfermería en unidades médico-quirúrgicas
Introduction: The prescription of basic care with temporality in medical-surgical hospitalization units represents a gap in the care plans and nursing students cannot acquire the competence of managing basic care. The objective of this study is to validate a standardized care plan to prescribe care that can be used by nursing students during the acquisition of skills related to basic care. Methods: A qualitative and quantitative study was carried out, including panels of experts combining nominal group techniques (generating hypothesis of the research and the development of prescription method) with Delphi method modified (content validity) and a focus group as a complementary method in order to reach consensus. The study was carried out over a 18-month time period between 2013-2014.Results:Three levels prescribing standardized cares have been created. This has been made by using Barthel scale which is used in an electronic form by second-year nursing students at University Jaume I in Castellón. Conclusions: Studies that specify how to carry out standardized validated studies of care plans have not been identified in literature review. In this study a combination of methods was used, similar to that which was used by other authors in order to develop different types of tools. With this registration and prescription system it is possible to evaluate the quality of cares and reinforce the role of nursing in hospital medical-surgical units
