In the first phase of the project, the translation and adaptation to the Spanish reality of the CFQ questionnaire was carried out, as well as the piloting in the target population and the content validation by means of experts. In a second phase, a descriptive cross-sectional observational study with an analytical component was carried out in pregnant women captured by non-probabilistic convenience sampling at 16-42 weeks of gestation.
On the other hand, the project Never alone of volunteering of students of the Degree in Nursing of the School of Nursing of the University Hospital Nuestra Señora de Candelaria, integrated by Marta Rodríguez, Eduardo González, Gara Hernández, Jenifer Álvarez and María Begoña Sánchez, addresses the struggle against unwanted loneliness and social isolation for reasons of age. For this, elderly people at risk of loneliness and social isolation are offered comprehensive support: from the social point of view, where the elderly person enjoys company, and from the therapeutic perspective, where care needs are assessed and planned to each person.
The jury is made up of nurses and physiotherapists from different fields
