- Children's attitudes towards aging people-validation of an instrumentPublication . Fernandes, Carla Sílvia; Moreira, Teresa; Galvão, JoanaPurpose It is essential to develop and improve instruments that measure and assess children's attitudes towards the elderly. Despite the degree of questions related to this topic, no tools validated for the Portuguese population on the subject were found in the literature. Consequently, this study aimed to translate and validate a scale designed to assess children’s attitudes towards the elderly (Todaro Scale) for the Portuguese population. Design and methods The method recommended by the literature for psychometric validation and evaluation of instruments was followed. In the conception of the study, the following stages were followed: translation of the ‘‘Todaro Scale’’, translation and back-translation by an independent translator, validation by an expert panel, pre-test and validation of the questionnaire, and testing the scale measurement properties. The convenience sample comprised 60 children between the ages of 4 and 6, of Portuguese nationality and residents of Portugal. Results The results obtained in the reliability and validity tests reveal a good internal consistency. The 14 items of the scale, and after the use of principal component analysis, there were grouped into five dimensions: social participation, personality characteristics; Health and Safety, physical and instrumental; cognitive and social appreciation. Conclusions The psychometric study confirms that the ‘‘Galvão Scale: children’s attitudes towards the elderly’’ includes the essential indicators and dimensions to ensure an adequate assessment of children’s attitudes towards the elderly. Practice implications: we believe this research could become an indispensable contribution to analysing, monitoring, and intervening to demystify existing ageing stereotypes
- Game4NurseSupervisor: Development of a board game for nursing mentoringPublication . Almeida, Inês Santos; Pinto, Cristina; Lima, Andreia; Moreira, Teresa; Fernandes, Carla SílviaAim: To describe the stages of developing a board game prototype to promote knowledge about nursing mentorship. Background: Clinical supervision in nursing is a vital strategy for the quality of care. The use of gamification through a board game can enhance knowledge about mentoring in nursing. Design: We present a pilot study describing the development phases of the board game "Game4NurseSupervisor®." Methods: The study comprised three phases. The first phase involved a modified e-Delphi study with experts to collect and validate the content to be integrated into the board game. The second phase focused on constructing the prototype of the board game. Finally, the third phase involved testing the prototype in sessions held in two healthcare units, followed by an evaluation through a questionnaire. Results: The e-Delphi study, involving a panel composed of 59 experts, progressed through two rounds, resulting in 61 cards divided into four categories. The second phase involved constructing the board game, incorporating interactive elements such as "Game4NurseSupervisor®." In the third phase, 25 nurses, consisting of clinical practice nurses, participated in the testing phase and expressed satisfaction with the game. Highlighted benefits included reflective, playful, dynamic, interactive and educational aspects. Conclusions: The conclusions suggest that "Game4NurseSupervisor®" could be a valuable tool for promoting knowledge about nursing mentorship, providing an innovative and interactive approach to skill development. This study makes a valuable contribution by addressing a previously unexplored aspect of nurse mentor training: the potential of board games.
- Knowledge about Sex Education in Adolescence: A Cross-Sectional StudyPublication . Moreira, Teresa; Rocha, Elizabeth; Lima, Andreia Maria Novo; Pereira, Lúcia; Rodrigues, Sílvia; Fernandes, Carla Sílvia(1) Background: In adolescence, the onset of physical signs of sexual maturity and early sexual contact have become increasingly common. However, most adolescents are not adequately prepared for this event, which can lead to significant negative consequences for young people. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge about sexuality during adolescence. (2) Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational design was used, with 289 students from a school in the northern region of Portugal. From an online questionnaire, sociodemographic information and the Sexuality Knowledge Questionnaire were used to collect data. (3) Results: Most adolescents (54.0%) were female and aged between 15 and 17 years, with an average knowledge score of 17.04. The worst results were found in the dimensions of first sexual intercourse and sexual concerns, with men scoring lower, and the dimension of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, where women performed better. The best scores were in the sexuality and sexual pleasure dimension, with women performing better, and the counseling and care in sexual and reproductive health dimension, where men performed better. (4) Conclusions: The approach to sexuality education must be constant throughout the life cycle, and it is essential to provide appropriate information to adolescents about issues related to sexuality.
