Nursing students’ health profile: epidemiological diagnosis based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model

Abstract

Background: The identification of nursing students' health profile is essential to develop healthy academic communities. Objective: To analyze students' health profile with a view to designing intervention strategies based on the PRE-CEDE-PROCEED model. Methodology: Quantitative study. Data were collected using the Portuguese version of the following questionnaires: the Fantastic Lifestyle Assessment, the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Psychological General Well-Being Index. A total of 224 undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students participated in this study. Results: Students' overall lifestyle is very good. However, lower scores were found in the Physical activity/Affiliation, changes in Nutrition, altered sleep and low stress management ability, Work/Personality type, and Insight, which suggests that students are less optimistic and positive about life. Conclusion:The intervention plan includes support, education, protection, and prevention should be adapted to students' individual needs and integrated into the curricula.

Use of “The Knowledge-to-Action Framework” for the implementation of evidence-based nursing in child and family care: Study protocol

“…Nursing seeks to expand the theoretical body of the profession by conducting both quantitative and qualitative research, made possible by methodological strategies that best suit the type of research. The PAR, used when there is a collective interest in solving problems, is among these strategies [15,16].

“…Realizar o diagnóstico situacional num hospital público, identificando quem são e onde laboram os trabalhadores da saúde acometidos pelo coronavírus, é imperioso para desenvolver estratégias preventivas e promotoras da saúde. Para este estudo, utilizou-se o modelo PRECEDE-PROCEED que norteia o planejamento de intervenções complexas em saúde e se fundamenta na promoção da saúde por meio da participação das pessoas envolvidas na problemática, com vistas à melhoria da qualidade de vida [9][10][11] .…”

Bem-estar psicológico e coping em estudantes de enfermagem durante a quarentena pela COVID-19

“…Higher education students are known to be vulnerable to a wide range of threats to their well-being (Monteiro et al, 2012;Nogueira & Sequeira, 2020). In the specific case of Portuguese nursing students, there is evidence that, despite having a very good lifestyle, they have sleep disorders and poor stress management skills (Ferreira et al, 2017).
