A primary care physician (PCP) not only accompanies the patient in the process of an illness, but throughout his or her life. The confidence we have in these health professionals is fundamental, and their favorable attitude toward organ donation and transplantation (ODT) has a significant influence on the population. Objective: To analyze trust in PCPs among Spanish medical and nursing students, the relationship with their attitude toward ODT, and the factors that condition it. Methods and Design: A sociologic, multicenter, and observational study. Population: medical and nursing students in Spanish universities. Database: Collaborative International Donor Project, stratified by geographic area and academic course. A validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO-RIOS) was self-administered and completed anonymously. A sample of 9598 medical and 10,566 nursing students (99% confidence and precision of ±1%), stratified by geographic area and year of study. Results: Completion rate: 90%. With respect to students’ trust in their physician, 18% (n = 3267) of them totally trust (completely), 45% (n = 8101) trust enough, 30% (n = 5478) of them have not enough trust, and 7% not at all. Comparing groups, medical students totally trust more in PCPs than nursing students (55% vs 45%; P < .000), however, nursing students have less than enough trust in their PCP than medical students (53% vs 47%; P < .000). Students that totally trust in their PCP were more in favor toward ODT than students with not enough trust (83% vs 77%; P < .000). Conclusion: Only 18% of Spanish medical and nursing students totally trust in their PCP. Attitude toward ODT is related to a higher level of trust in PCPs among these students.

Introduction: Information provided by health care professionals is crucial to create a climate of social opinion. This is important in organ donation and transplantation (ODT), where the participation of the general public is essential to obtain organs. Objective: To determine the attitude toward the Law of Presumed Consent (LPC) among Spanish university students and to analyze their relation with attitude toward ODT. Methods: and design. The type of study was a sociologic, multicenter, observational study. The population included medical and nursing students in Spanish universities. Database of Collaborative International Donor Project was used stratified by geographic area and academic course. A validated questionnaire (Collaborative International Donor Project, organ donation and transplantation questionnaire in Spanish [PCID-DTO-RIOS]) was self-administered and completed anonymously. A sample of 9598 medical and 10,566 nursing students was analyzed (99% confidence and precision of ±1%) and stratified by geographic area and year of study. Results: Completion rate was 90%. Regarding attitude toward LPC, 66% of the students were against the law, whereas 34% accepted it. Of the students surveyed, 9% considered the law as a gesture of solidarity, 25% as an effective way of not wasting organs, 48% as an abuse of power, and 18% as offenses against the family. Those students who were in favor of LPC also had a more favorable attitude toward ODT (86% vs 76%; P < .001). Comparing groups, nursing students were less in favor of LPC than medical students (32% vs 36%; P < .000). Conclusion: Sixty-six percent of Spanish university medical and nursing students were against the LPC. The favorable attitude toward ODT is associated with considering the law as a gesture of solidarity or as an effective way of not wasting organs.

The knowledge acquired during university education about organ donation and transplantation (ODT) decisively influences the information future health professionals transmit. This is important in ODT where the participation of the general public is essential to obtain organs. Objective: To determine notions of Spanish medicine and nursing students on ODT and its relationship with attitude toward ODT. Methods and design: and design. We conducted a sociologic, multicenter, and observational study. The population for our study consisted of medical and nursing students in Spanish universities. Our database was the Collaborative International Donor Project, stratified by geographic area and academic course. A validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO-RIOS) was self-administered and completed anonymously. Our sample consisted of 9598 medical and 10,566 nursing students (99% confidence interval; precision of ±1%), stratified by geographic area and year of study. Results: The completion rate for our study was 90%. Only 20% (n=3640) of students thought their notions on ODT were good; 41% (n=7531) thought their notions were normal; 36% (n=6550) thought their notions were scarce. Comparing groups, there were differences between those who believed that their notions on ODT were good (44% nursing vs 56% medical students; P < .000), and those who believed it scarce (54% nursing vs 46% medical students; P < .000). Notions on ODT were related with attitude toward the donation of one's own organs: those who considered their notions were good were more in favor then those who considered it scarce (88% vs 72%; P < .000). Conclusion: Only 20% of Spanish medical and nursing students thought their notions on ODT were good. Having good knowledge is related to a favorable attitude towards ODT. Receiving specific information on the subject could improve their knowledge about ODT during their training.

Aim: To analyze the attitude of university nursing students at Spanish universities toward organ donation and transplantation and the factors affecting to their attitude. Background: The opinion of future nurses toward organ transplant donation could have an important influence on the population. Knowing that opinion and what factors influence it is important to improve the attitude towards organ donation and transplantation. Design: A multicenter, sociological, interdisciplinary and observational study including university nursing diploma students in a complete academic year. Methods: Selected and randomized sample was taken of students from 52 of the 111 faculties and nursing schools and faculties in Spain with teaching activity PARTICIPANTS: A sample of 10,566 students was selected stratified by geographical area and year. Measurement instrument: The instrument used was a validated questionnaire of attitude toward organ donation and transplantation, self-administered and completed anonymously. Results: Completion rate: 85 % (n = 9001). Of the students surveyed, 78 % (n = 7040) would donate their organs after dying. Variables related to a favourable attitude: (1) Interest in listening to a talk about organ donation and transplantation [Odds ratio 1.66, 95 % confidence interval 2.05-1.35]; (2) Family discussion [Odds ratio 2.30, 95 % confidence interval 2.79-1.90] or discussion with friends about organ donation and transplantation [Odds ratio 1.56, 95 % confidence interval 1.86-1.31]; (3) Knowing that one's father [Odds ratio 1.54, 95 % confidence interval 1.94-1.22], mother's [Odds ratio 1.44, 95 % confidence interval 1.82-1.13] or partner [Odds ratio 1.28, 95 % confidence interval 1.60-1.03] has a favourable opinion; (4) Having a good self-assessment of information about organ donation and transplantation [Odds ratio 2.94, 95 % confidence interval 4.90-1.78]; (5) Not being worried about possible mutilation of the body after donation [Odds ratio 2.73, 95 % confidence interval 3.36-1.72]. Conclusions: Nursing students in Spain tend to have a favourable attitude toward organ donation and transplantation although more than 20 % of those surveyed are not in favour. Tweetable abstract: To maintain a high rate of organ donation for organ transplantation, it is necessary to improve the social awareness of future generations of nurses towards organ donation.

La literatura, junto con todas las visiones que nos ofrece, supone una fuente de conocimiento y de enriquecimiento. Cuando se desvincula de la vida, se convierte en letra muerta, pero cuando sirve de alimento al espíritu, este sin duda se enriquece de forma insospechada. En este sentido, podemos afirmar, sin duda, que la literatura juega un papel importante como forma de expresión artística. Los relatos, además, encierran un valor pedagógico innegable. A lo largo de la historia, los textos literarios han sido utilizados para la educación y la formación personal, pues pueden aportar diversas posibilidades según la temática escogida y permiten estimular en el aula el desarrollo integral. La literatura siempre ha sido vehículo trasmisor de ideas, es una gran educadora. El alumnado puede reconocer en los personajes situaciones identificables con su propia vida. Cuentos tradicionales, fábulas y relatos varios encierran moralejas y han sido útiles para educar a la humanidad a lo largo de la historia. La educación moral y la formación de virtudes son elementos importantes en el desarrollo de individuos y ciudadanos éticamente responsables, que participan en la sociedad. Y es que la esencia final de la labor educativa no es solo la formación técnica del individuo, sino también cultivar la virtud, orientando al educando hacia la exploración del bien, la verdad y la belleza. Pues bien, con este planteamiento nace Educación, virtudes y relatos, que gira en torno a la idea del didactismo de lo literario, y lo hace desde la confluencia de dos perspectivas: por un lado, el virtuosismo y los valores que podemos encontrar reflejados en algunos personajes de la literatura universal; por otro, el uso y la aplicación que de estos ejemplos literarios podemos hacer en el aula.

This paper analyses the way in which traditional broadcasters are reorienting their strategy to reach young audiences. From this starting point, we analyse the three specific offers launched very recently by Spain's leading audio-visual groups for youth audiences. The online platforms constitute an attempt to compete with the new internet-distributed video offerings that are gaining increasing ground across the world. These platforms (Flooxer from Atresmedia, MTMAD from Mediaset and PLAYZ from TVE) have contributed to the adaptation of their company groups to the new environment in order to get closer to this hard-to-reach young audience.

Objective: Red-light filtering lenses represent an additional option to medication in photosensitive epilepsy. Blue lenses (Clarlet Z1 F133) can dramatically reduce seizure frequency, with a substantial restriction in luminance that can limit their applicability in daily life. We investigated the efficacy of 4 blue lenses with higher transmittance and reduced chromatic distortion in abolishing the photoparoxysmal EEG response (PPR) compared to the gold-standard Z1 lenses. Methods: We reviewed EEG data during photic-and pattern stimulation in 19 consecutive patients (6– 39 years) with photosensitivity (PS). Stimulation was performed at baseline and while wearing Z1 and the four new lenses. Lenses were tested in the same session by asking the patient to wear them in a sequentially randomized fashion while stimulating again with the most provocative photic/pattern stimuli. The primary outcome was the change in the initial PPR observed for each lens, categorized as no change, reduction, and abolition. Results: Photosensitivity was detected in 17 subjects (89.5%); pattern sensitivity (PtS) was identified in 14 patients (73.7%). The highest percentages of PPR abolition/reduction were observed with Z1, for both PS and PtS. Regarding the new lenses, B1 + G1 offered the best rates, followed by B1 + G2. B1 + G3 and B1 showed lower efficacy rates, particularly for PtS. In the comparative analysis, no significant differences in PPR suppression were detected between the five lenses for PS. For PtS, the capacity of Z1 for PPR abolition was significantly higher compared with B1 + G3 and B1. Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests efficacy of the new group of blue lenses with potentially greater tolerability, particularly in regions with fewer sunlight hours during winter. In linewith the current trend for personalized approach to treatment, this study suggests that insomepatients there might be scope in extending the testing to offer the lens with the higher transmittance effective in abolishing the PPR.
