- Adaptação e validação da Escala de Suporte Social Instrumental e Expressivo em idosos portuguesesPublication . Lima, Ligia; Santos, Célia; Bastos, Celeste; Martins, MM; Guerra, Marina; Costa, PatrícioObjetivo: adaptar e validar a Escala de Suporte Social Instrumental e Expressivo (IESS) em uma amostra de idosos. Método: estudo metodológico. A amostra de 964 idosos residentes em comunidade foi dividida aleatoriamente em dois grupos. O primeiro grupo foi utilizado como amostra de calibração para estudar o número de fatores subjacentes ao suporte social, pelo Método dos Eixos Principais, e o segundo grupo como amostra de validação para testar o modelo de “melhor ajuste”, por meio da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória. Resultados: a Análise Fatorial Exploratória indicou uma solução de três fatores, que foi confirmada pela Análise Fatorial Confirmatória. Os fatores foram semelhantes aos das dimensões preexistentes do instrumento original e foram denominados Sensação de controle (α = 0,900), Suporte financeiro (α = 0,802), Suporte Familiar e socioafetivo (α = 0,778). A Análise Fatorial Confirmatória mostrou um ajuste aceitável. Os índices de adequação do modelo foram satisfatórios (χ2/gl = 5,418; CFI = 0,903; NFI = 0,884; RMSEA = 0,098). A validade convergente foi confirmada por associações entre o suporte social e a adesão à medicação e o afeto positivo. A validação discriminante foi evidenciada por associação com o afeto negativo. A análise de confiabilidade mostrou valores de consistência interna elevados. Conclusão: o instrumento provou ser uma medida válida para a avaliação do suporte social em idosos.

- Aerobic and resistance exercise in heart failure inpatients: a scoping reviewPublication . Lopes, Ivo; Delgado, Bruno; Costa, Patrício; Padilha, José Miguel Santos CastroExercise performance is an essential tool for managing heart failure. Although the benefits of exercise are well documented for people with chronic and stable heart failure, there is still no consensus on their prescription in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure undergoing clinical stabilization. The aim of this study is to identify the literature on exercise programs encompassing the components of aerobic and resistance training for hospitalized patients admitted for acute heart failure. A scoping review was conducted according to the proposed methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Studies with adults over 18 years old, hospitalized, and diagnosed with acute heart failure who participated in aerobic and resistance exercise training programs during their hospital stay were included. Three studies met the inclusion criteria. One was a retrospective, observational analytical cohort study, in which the main outcome of the exercise program was improvement in the previous disabilities of the participants. The other two were multicenter randomized controlled studies that showed greater improvement in physical function, functional capacity, depression, quality of life, and frailty status in the intervention groups. The exercise prescriptions differed according to the principles of the exercise prescription—frequency of exercise, intensity of exercise, exercise time (duration), type (mode), exercise volume, and progression. It is too early to make recommendations based on evidence of the type structure of an exercise program with aerobic and strength-training components in this population. However, in the exercise programs of the reviewed studies, the predominance of light to moderate intensity and the importance of progressively increase the frequency and duration of the training sessions were demonstrated, with bicycle ergometers and walking being the most common types of aerobic exercises. It is recommended that investment and research in this area should continue with more methodologically robust studies.
- Clinical Virtual Simulation in Nursing Education: Randomized Controlled TrialPublication . Padilha, José Miguel Santos Castro; Machado, Paulo Alexandre Puga; Ribeiro, Ana; Ramos, José; Costa, PatrícioIn the field of health care, knowledge and clinical reasoning are key with regard to quality and confidence in decision making. The development of knowledge and clinical reasoning is influenced not only by students' intrinsic factors but also by extrinsic factors such as satisfaction with taught content, pedagogic resources and pedagogic methods, and the nature of the objectives and challenges proposed. Nowadays, professors play the role of learning facilitators rather than simple "lecturers" and face students as active learners who are capable of attributing individual meanings to their personal goals, challenges, and experiences to build their own knowledge over time. Innovations in health simulation technologies have led to clinical virtual simulation. Clinical virtual simulation is the recreation of reality depicted on a computer screen and involves real people operating simulated systems. It is a type of simulation that places people in a central role through their exercising of motor control skills, decision skills, and communication skills using virtual patients in a variety of clinical settings. Clinical virtual simulation can provide a pedagogical strategy and can act as a facilitator of knowledge retention, clinical reasoning, improved satisfaction with learning, and finally, improved self-efficacy. However, little is known about its effectiveness with regard to satisfaction, self-efficacy, knowledge retention, and clinical reasoning.
- Easiness, usefulness and intention to use a MOOC in nursingPublication . Padilha, José Miguel Santos Castro; Puga Machado, Paulo Alexandre; ALVES RIBEIRO, ANA LEONOR; Ribeiro, Rui; Vieira, Francisco; Costa, PatrícioBackground: The growing ageing population and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases call for innovation and healthcare mastered professional skills. Emerging digital learning contents envisioning to complement education, lifelong learning and in-service training. The use of digital platforms allows nurses to access contents in several formats, enabling the required pedagogical autonomy and personal time management. This allows nurses to enrol in education wherever accessible, reducing personal and professional costs and ensuring high-quality standards. Objectives: To assess students and nurses’ easiness, usefulness and intention to use a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as an educational resource to enhance self-management intervention skills in COPD patients. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive and transversal study was conducted. Participants were nursing students, registered nurses and rehabilitation nurses. A questionnaire supported by Davis Technology Acceptance Model and on the determinants of the ease-of-use perception of Venkatesh was applied. An EFA was performed and two dimensions were obtained (perceived easiness and global quality of the course and perceived usefulness and intention to use the MOOC) and groups were compared in these dimensions. Results: From the total participants (n = 93), 65.6% were nursing students, 15.1% were Portuguese nurses and 19.4% were Portuguese rehabilitation nurses. The perceived easiness and global quality score of the course were 4.70 (SD = 0.314) and the perceived usefulness and intention to use the MOOC was 4.73 (SD = 0.346). Rehabilitation nurses, who are older, scored higher than nurses and students (χ2(2, n = 93) = 8.43, p = .015, ε2 = 0.092). The dropout rate was 25%. Conclusions: The MOOC showed usefulness and nurses’ intention to use this educational resource in future education and yielded high average rates of perceived easiness and global quality. These massive courses unlock new opportunities for nursing education and to lifelong learning in nursing, enhancing safety and quality of the healthcare services in supporting patients to achieve a better quality of life.

- The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the mental health of Portuguese university studentsPublication . Sequeira, Carlos; Araújo, Odete; Lourenço, Tânia; Freitas, Otília; Carvalho, José Carlos; Costa, PatrícioWorldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disruptive effect on daily routines, especially for university students. This study aimed to compare pre-pandemic domains of students’ mental health during the pandemic lockdown. One cross-sectional study was conducted in two waves with academic students from 20 Portuguese universities, in March 2020 before the COVID19 pandemic (n = 3579) and 2 months after the first lockdown in May 2020 (n = 1228). The Positive Mental Health Questionnaire (PMHQ), the Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire, the Mental Health-promoting knowledge, and the Psychological Vulnerability Scale were used. Statistical analyses were performed by bivariate associations and multiple linear regression models. Students were mostly women (79%), with an average age of 23.2 years (SD = 6.6), displaced from their family environment (43%), out-of-home (43%), and scholarship holders (37%). Higher scores found in the PVS were associated with decreased PMHQ in both moments (P < 0.01). These crosssectional studies showed a slight variation in the mental health variables studied in the period before and during the COVID-19 outbreak. Being a woman, younger, out-of-home, and having a scholarship (P < 0.01) seem to increase susceptibility to mental health variation before and during the pandemic. Universities should develop strategies that promote students’ mental health.
