The "https://www.coib.cat/home.aspx" College of Nursing of Barcelona has granted two out of the nine aids of research to two predoctoral researchers of the Health Care research group, led by Dr. Carmen Fuentelsaz at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR). The nurse Esperanza Zuriguel leads the first project entitled “Evaluation of the critical thinking among nursing professionals, according to the Alfaro-LeFevre circular model”. The aim of her research, funded with 7,260 euros, is to elaborate a test to assess the critical thinking of the nursing staff, and to analyze its validity and reliability. The second project, called “Therapeutic adherence in adolescents, exploring opinions and experiences”, is led by the nurse Maria Luisa Cebrián and has been endowed with 2,601 euros. The objective of her study is to know the everyday experiences of adolescents who have underwent renal transplant, have diabetes or cystic fibrosis. She will also gather information about the vision of the young people concerning the medical and family attention received, as well as their proposals for improvement.
