- KIT TOOL-S2 for the Portuguese Healthcare Professional: A Psychometric AnalysisPublication . Amaral, Catarina; Sequeira, Carlos; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Ferré-Grau, CarmeIntroduction: Literacy of health professionals on patient safety aims to prevent and reduce risks and adverse events in healthcare. Objective: The objective of this study was to translate, adapt, and validate for Portugal of the World Health Organization Questionnaire to Assess the Implementation of the Multiprofessional Guide. Methodology: Following the cultural adaptation process, we carried out a psychometric analysis on a sample of 300 health professionals. The scale was tested for apparent and content validity. Psychometric properties were assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Results: Exploratory factor analysis led to a tetra factor structure that accounted for 43.0% of the variance and had an overall alpha of 0.759. The hypothesized structure was submitted to confirmatory factor analysis, and the following items were eliminated from factors 1, 2, and 3 and the respective items: 7; 5; and 3, 4, 5, and 6, due to multicollinearity problems. Overall good-of-fit indexes are reliable. Conclusions: The “KIT TOOL-S2 TEXT” scale presents a factor structure with satisfactory validity and reliability results, adequately representing the constructs in question.
- Patient Safety Training Programs for Health Care Professionals: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Amaral, Catarina; Sequeira, Carlos; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Coelho, Joana; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Ferré-Grau, CarmeObjective This study aimed to map the evidence available on patient safety training programs for health professionals. Methods A scoping review was carried out. Several studies published between January 2010 and March 2020 in the following databases were investigated: CINAHL; MEDLINE; Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane; MedicLatina, via EBSCOhost; World Health Organization; Google Scholar; BVS—Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde; PubMed; B-On; and RCAAP—Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Results A total of 2841 articles were found, 7 were included. Most studies report that the development of patient safety programs for health care professionals provides them with tools and techniques to recognize adverse incidents induced by the professional system/practice; recognize human factors related to patient safety, such as nontechnical skills or tiredness; understand high-risk clinical processes; develop strategies that influence and enhance patient safety culture; promote communication, teamwork, and organizational culture concerning patient safety; analyze other characteristic and emerging topics in patient safety; and develop project proposals to improve patient safety, allowing health care professionals to consolidate their knowledge, leading initiatives to improve patient safety. Conclusions There are still few studies that test patient safety training programs, which is a concern given the importance of implementing safe practices. The existing evidence proves the efficacy of the training programs in improving patient safety, although there are some gaps.
- Social Media Use and Its Association with Mental Health and Internet Addiction among Portuguese Higher Education Students during COVID-19 ConfinementPublication . Oliveira, Ana Paula; Nobre, Joana Rita; Luis, Henrique; Luis, Luis Soares; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Sequeira, CarlosAbstract: The use of social media was one of the most common way to keep in touch with friends and family during confinement. For higher education students, the fact that their universities were closed was a major change in their lives. The aim of this study is to relate the prevalence and type of social media with Internet addiction and mental health of university students in a district of Portugal during COVID-19 confinement. Mental health was studied by applying the reduced version of the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5) and to measure the Internet use and dependence, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was used. The study (cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational) used an online questionnaire, conducted on Google® Forms and the link was sent to 4450 students, in the months of April to June 2020, during the confinement. A total of 329 valid questionnaires were obtained. We can conclude that regarding mental health, students in the 18–24 age group, single or divorced and who are not in a relationship, and with worse academic results, show worse levels of mental health. It is noteworthy that the students with the same characteristics also have the highest levels of addiction to internet.

- The Impact of COVID-19 Confinement on Substance Use and Mental Health in Portuguese Higher Education StudentsPublication . Oliveira, Ana Paula; Luis, Henrique; Luís, Luís Soares; Nobre, Joana Rita; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Sequeira, CarlosThe mental health of higher education students is a constant concern, and the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 has intensified this concern. The social measures imposed to control and minimize the disease have led, among other things, to the reconfiguration of higher education students’ academic life habits, which has naturally altered their emotional balance, mental health, and substance abuse. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study assesses the influence of higher education students’ personal characteristics on their (self-reported) use of addictive substances (alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and pharmaceutical drugs) before and during their first compulsory confinement in Portugal, as well as its relationship with mental health. An online questionnaire was applied between 15 April and 20 May 2020, to students from various study cycles of higher education institutions in one region of Portugal (northern area of Alentejo), which included the Mental Health Inventory in its reduced version (MHI-5) and questions (constructed by the authors) on personal characterization and on the use of addictive substances before and during confinement. The convenience sample included 329 mostly female health care students between the ages of 18 and 24. In our results, we found a statistically significant decrease in tobacco, alcohol, and drug use; however, there was an increase in tobacco use among older students and an increase in anxiolytic use among students with higher academic achievement and among students who exhibited more active social behavior in the period prior to confinement. Students who took anxiolytics during confinement had higher MHI-5 scores and students who used the most addictive substances during confinement had lower MHI-5 scores than the other students.
