Under what conditions do team learning behaviors best predict team performance? The current meta-analytic efforts synthesize results from 113 effect sizes and 7758 teams to investigate how different conceptualizations (fundamental, intrateam, and interteam), team characteristics (team size and team familiarity), task characteristics (interdependence, complexity, and type), and methodological characteristics (students vs. nonstudents and measurement choice) affect the relationship between team learning behaviors and team performance. Our results suggest that while different conceptualizations of team learning behaviors independently predict performance, only intrateam learning behaviors uniquely predict performance. A more in-depth investigation into the moderating conditions contradicts the familiar adage of “it depends.” The strength of the relationship between intrateam learning behaviors and team performance did not depend on team familiarity, task complexity, or sample type. However, our results suggested this relationship was stronger in larger teams, teams with moderate task interdependence, teams performing project/action tasks, and studies that use measures that capture a wider breadth of the team learning behavior construct space. These efforts suggest that common boundary conditions do not moderate this relationship. Scholars can leverage these results to develop more comprehensive theories addressing the different conceptualizations of team learning behaviors as well as providing clarity on the scenarios where team learning behaviors are most needed. Further, practitioners can use our results to develop more guided team-based policies that can overcome some of the challenges of forming and developing learning teams.

Introduction: There are 7.1 million people living with a disability in Mexico. Of these individuals, 7% are children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Mexican women caring for children with a developmental disability are at risk of psychological stress, which may be prevented with physical activity such as dance. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was to examine (a) the feasibility of implementing the dance intervention, (b) the mothers’ satisfaction with the intervention, and (c) the changes in stress level experienced by the mothers on completion of the intervention. Method: A one-group pretest–posttest design was used. The Salsa dance intervention was given in nine 60-minute sessions, twice a week in Veracruz, Mexico. The sample included 14 mothers of children with disabilities. The outcome, stress level, was measured with the validated Questionnaire of Perceived Stress. Feasibility of intervention implementation was maintained by having the interventionist follow the interventionist manual. Satisfaction was assessed by the Satisfaction with Therapy and Therapist Scale. Results: The intervention was feasible as all participants completed the intervention sessions. They reported high satisfaction (100%) with the intervention and interventionist. At posttest, participants showed reduced stress levels ( p = .028). Discussion: The dance intervention is promising in reducing women’s stress levels and worth further development in order to benefit the Mexican women caring for children with developmental disability and experiencing stress. Nurses can implement the Salsa dance intervention with the Mexican population while improving the clients’ retention, outcomes, and overall satisfaction.

La creciente emigración de profesionales de enfermería en México podría colocar su sistema de salud en una crisis nacional. Actualmente, existen más de 272,000 migrantes a nivel global 1. Se estima que 11,800,000 son mexicanos, el 35% de ellos son profesionistas 2. México se ubica en sexto lugar de países que envían migrantes calificados y en primer lugar en la región de América Latina. Los principales países receptores son Estados Unidos (EE. UU.), Canadá, y España. En 2015, en Estados Unidos el número de mexicanos calificados rebasó las 250,000. De acuerdo con datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud 3 hay más de 20,700,000 de profesionales de enfermería y partería en el mundo. No obstante, se calcula que para el 2030 nos enfrentaremos ante la escases de 18,000,000. Tan solo en Canadá este déficit podría llegar a los 60,000 enfermeros, mientras que en EE. UU esta cifra se triplica a los 240,000. Como citar este artículo: Fernández-Sánchez Higinio, Enríquez-Hernández Claudia Beatriz, Zapíen Vázquez María de los Ángeles, Horcasitas-Tovar Aimée Giselle.

El estilo de vida saludable de las personas es un constructo multidimensional que involucra una cadena de factores psicológicos, sociales, culturales y económicos que tienden a mantener un estado de salud física y mental. Esto resulta de gran importancia, ya que permite definir a las personas y ubicarlas en categorías en función de la manera en que viven y desarrollan su conducta. Objetivo: Describir los estilos de vida de los estudiantes del Programa de Posgrado Maestría en Enfermería. Material y Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo-transversal, con una muestra de 14 participantes. Se aplicó el cuestionario de Percepción de Salud (PEPS-I) de Nola J. Pender, el cual está conformado por 48 ítems repartidos en 6 dimensiones: Nutrición, ejercicio, responsabilidad en salud, manejo del estrés, soporte interpersonal y auto actualización. Resultados: El 7,1 % de los estudiantes tiene un estilo de vida saludable y el 92,9 % puntuaron un estilo de vida no saludable. Conclusiones: Se obtuvo una puntuación no favorecedora para los estilos de vida de los estudiantes de posgrado, ya que de acuerdo a Pender (2015) menciona que para considerar un estilo de vida este debe puntuar por encima de la media en cada dimensión, concluyendo así que los estudiantes del Programa de Posgrado Maestría no tienen estilos de vida saludable.
