ResumenEl presente artículo se propone constatar la implicación femenina en los escenarios de la lucha, concretamente en episodios de verdadera amenaza como en el caso de los sitios, e intentar determinar hasta qué punto la necesidad de tomar partido en la defensa de sus ciudades, de sus familias, significó una mayor o menor ocupación de espacios propiamente masculinos por parte de ellas. Específicamente, se tratará de recuperar del olvido la acción femenina y su contribución en tres episodios bélicos de importancia como son la sublevación catalana de la Guerra dels Segadors, la Guerra de Sucesión y la Guerra de la Independencia. Tres ejemplos de conflicto en los que destaca sobremanera la acción de las mujeres asediadas.AbstractThis article was proposed to verify the involvement of women in the fight scenes, particularly in episodes of real threat as in the case of sieges, and to try determining to what extent the need to take a stand in defense of their cities, their families, meant a greater or lesser occupation of properly masculine spaces by them. Specifically, we try to retrieve from oblivion the women action and their contribution on three major military events such as the Catalan uprising known as Reapers' War, the War of Spanish Succession and the Peninsular War. Three examples of conflicts in which the action of women under siege tales special importance.

This article belongs to the Special Issue Nursing Research. ; [Background] In-hospital mortality is a key indicator of the quality of care. Studies so far have demonstrated the influence of patient and hospital-related factors on in-hospital mortality. Currently, new variables, such as nursing workload or the level of dependency, are being incorporated. We aimed to identify which individual, clinical and hospital characteristics are related to hospital mortality. ; [Methods] A multicentre prospective observational study design was used. Sampling was conducted between February 2015 and October 2017. Patients over 16 years, admitted to medical or surgical units at 11 public hospitals in Andalusia (Spain), with a foreseeable stay of at least 48 h were included. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to analyse the data. ; [Results] The sample consisted of 3821 assessments conducted in 1004 patients. The mean profile was that of a male (52%), mean age of 64.5 years old, admitted to a medical unit (56.5%), with an informal caregiver (60%). In-hospital mortality was 4%. The INICIARE (Inventario del Nivel de Cuidados Mediante Indicadores de Clasificación de Resultados de Enfermería) scale yielded an adjusted odds ratio [AOR] of 0.987 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.97–0.99) and the nurse staffing level (NSL) yielded an AOR of 1.197 (95% CI: 1.02–1.4). ; [Conclusion] Nursing care dependency measured by INICIARE and nurse staffing level was associated with in-hospital mortality. ; This research was funded by Health Ministry of the Andalusian Regional Government, grant number (PI-0045/2016).

Background: The increasing dependence care in patients hospitalized in acute hospitals around the world entails classification systems heeding the wide range of care dependency levels generated by the many different types of dependent patients. This article is a report of a study assessing the validity and reliability of a short-from version of the instrument (Inventario del NIvel de Cuidados mediante Indicadores de Resultados de Enfermería (INICIARE)) used to classify inpatients according to their care dependency level. Methods: The validation, carried out in a multicenter longitudinal study, included three different samples: the first sample of 1800 patients to evaluate the reliability and validity, a second of 762 patients for confirmatory factor analysis, and a third of 762 to test the short-form version. Patients over 16 years of age, admitted to medical or surgical units at 11 public hospitals, were included. Results: The final sample included 3605 patients. Patients had a mean age of 64.5 years, 60% were admitted to medical units, with severe dependency. The validation process yielded two versions of the instrument: a 40-item version, with eight factors with 83.6% of total variance explained and Cronbach's alpha values between 0.98 and 0.92, and a short-form with 26 items, with five factors and Cronbach's alpha values between 0.96 and 0.90. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded a good fit model to the 40-item version (Chi Square on Degrees of Freedom CMIN/DF) = 1.335; Normed Fit Index (NFI); Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI); Comparative Fit Index (CFI) > 0.90; Standardized Residual Root Mean Square (RMSEA) = 0.02; and Standardized Residual Root Mean Square (SRMR) = 0.027) and 26-item version (Chi Square on Degrees of Freedom CMIN/DF = 1.385; NFI = 0.998; CFI = 0.999; RMSEA = 0.02; and SRMR 0.02). Both INICIARE versions obtained a high correlation between them (r = 0.96; p < 0.001). Conclusion: INICIARE has proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of the level of care dependency of acutely hospitalized patients. ; This research was funded by Health Ministry of the Andalusian Regional Government, grant number (PI-0045/2016). ; Yes
