Item Educational Strategies to Promote Adherence to Treatment in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease(2022-08) Martínez-Riera, José Ramon; Aviles Gonzalez, Cesar Ivan; Zambrano Bermeo, Rosa Nury; Curcio, Felice; González Correa, Julián Alberto; Estrada González, Catalina; Melo, Pedro; Galletta, MauraIntroduction: Educational material is a key strategy for primary health care promotion. Purpose: To design and validate educational material adapted to the population and aimed to increase knowledge about adherence to the treatment of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Methodology: Methodological study for the design of educational material for people with diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure. For the design, content validity tests were carried out, with the participation of six experts in health education and six patients with chronic diseases. Validation was performed pursuant to the attraction, understanding, engagement, and acceptance criteria. Results: The validation confirmed that all items and criteria were above the minimal expected range. Conclusion: The design and validation of educational material provide elements that improve the education of patients about their pathologies and their adherence to treatmentItem Perception of University Nursing Students and Faculty Members Regarding Simulated Practices: A Mixed Methods Study(MDPI, 2024) Castillo Núñez, Rosalbina; Zambrano Bermeo, Rosa Nury; Bonilla Casierra, Nancy Francisca; Tusconi, Massimo; Curcio, Felice; Aviles Gonzalez, Cesar IvanIntroduction: Clinical simulation has been used as a teaching strategy for students in health programmes, fostering greater preparedness and confidence in performing procedures. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the perception of fourth-semester nursing students and teachers regarding the simulated practice methodology implemented in a private university in Cali, Colombia. Method: A robust mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 41 students and 5 teaching nursing faculty members. Data triangulation was applied to ensure the robustness of the results. Results: Both students and teachers reported a positive perception of simulated practice, which contributes to knowledge acquisition and contextual learning. Students emphasised that simulation improved their prior knowledge and motivated them to explore new topics. Lecturers emphasised the importance of well-trained instructors in simulation environments. However, participants identified challenges affecting performance, including simulation duration, group size, realism, and resource constraints. Conclusions: Students and teachers recommend strategic changes to the curriculum to optimise simulation practices.Item Reliability and Validity of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II Spanish Version in University Students(MDPI, 2024) Zambrano Bermeo, Rosa Nury; Estrada Gonzalez, Catalina; Herrera Guerra, Eugenia del Pilar; Aviles Gonzalez, Cesar IvanAim: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) scale in Colombian university students. Methods: This was a methodological study to verify reliability and construct validity. A total of 763 undergraduate university students in Cali, Colombia, agreed to participate in the study by filling out a form that included information on sociodemographic characteristics and the HPLP-II scale Spanish version. Data were collected between February and June 2021. To determine construct validity, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and internal consistency was determined through Cronbach’s alpha. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis of the proposed theoretical model showed that the goodness-of-fit indices of the scale demonstrated an acceptable level of validity nearing an excellent level of fit (χ2 = 7168.98; gl = 1268; p < 0.001; root mean square error of approximation = 0.08; normed fit index, adjusted goodness-of-fit index = 0.95). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.94, and the subscales ranged from 0.68 to 0.89. Conclusions: The HPLP-II Spanish version is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the health-promoting lifestyle profile of university students.
