The Experience of Spanish Prison Nurses with the HIV Pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: This study discusses the experiences of nurses in Spanish prisons during the HIV/AIDS pandemic, emphasizing administrative changes and adaptive measures, such as the creation of the Subdirectorate General of Penitentiary Health. OBJECTIVE: We describe the experiences of nurses in Spanish penitentiary centers in the face of the HIV/AIDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The interpretative and phenomenological approach explored experiences between 1981 and 2023 through focus groups and convenience sampling. Participants were recruited through telephone calls and telematic meetings using Microsoft Teams. Four key themes were identified: the stigmatization of inmates, changes in nursing, the importance of training and resources, and equal treatment between genders. RESULTS: The nursing vision focused on gathering information, providing comprehensive patient support, and sharing personal experiences. DISCUSSION: This research provides a historical perspective on the adaptation of prison nursing to the pandemic, highlighting coping processes and suggesting future lines of research on the experiences of inmates, prison guards, and surveillance officers. CONCLUSIONS: We highlight the low media visibility of the pandemic in prisons, underlining the importance of understanding and valuing the nursing experience in prison settings during health crises.

Características presentes en escolares de secundaria que no fuman o no tienen intención de hacerlo / Characteristics present in secondary school students who do not smoke and who have no intention to smoke

Objetivo: Conocer las variables presentes en escolares de primero y segundo de secundaria que no consumen tabaco o no tienen intención de fumar desde un modelo de salud positiva. Métodos: Estudio transversal con 482 estudiantes en Andalucía y Cataluña usando un cuestionario validado (proyecto ESFA y PASE). Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística binaria. Resultados: Quienes no tenían intención de fumar presentaron una actitud desfavorable al tabaco y una alta autoeficacia (p <0,001). En los/las no consumidores/as las variables más asociadas fueron la actitud, el modelo social (p <0,001) y la autoeficacia (p = 0,005). Conclusiones: Los resultados reflejan factores motivacionales presentes en escolares que no fuman ni pretenden hacerlo. La actitud y la autoeficacia se asocian fuertemente con la intención y con el comportamiento. Esta información puede ser útil para desarrollar estrategias positivas de promoción de la salud desde un modelo salutogénico

Objective: To know the variables present in primary and secondary school students who do not smoke or intend to smoke from a positive health model. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 482 students from Andalusia and Catalonia using a validated questionnaire (ESFA and PASE project). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: Those who did not intend to smoke viewed smoking unfavourably and had high self-efficacy (p <0.001). In non-consumers, the most associated variables were attitude, social model (p <0.001), and self-efficacy (p =0.005). Conclusions: The results show motivational factors present in students who do not smoke and do not intend to do so. Attitude and self-efficacy are strongly associated with intention and behaviour. This information might be useful for developing positive health promotion strategies from a salutogenesis approach
