Validation of the Spanish Blood Donation Knowledge Questionnaire (BDKQ-Spain) Through University–School Partnerships Alonso Martínez, Laura; Serrano Gómez, Diego; Sánchez Gómez, Laura; Pascual Ocejo, Ángela; Toimil Septién, Lucía; Santamaría San Martín, Rubén; Zangiacomi Martinez, Edson Background/Objectives: Blood donation knowledge is increasingly recognised as a relevant construct in health education research due to its role in supporting voluntary donation and informing evidence-based strategies that promote preventive behaviours and civic engagement. This study aimed to develop and validate the Spanish version of the Blood Donation Knowledge Questionnaire (BDKQ22-Spain) through university–school partnerships. The BDKQ22-Spain consists of 22 multiple-choice items, each with a single correct answer, designed to assess knowledge about blood donation. Methods: Psychometric evaluation was conducted within a quasi-experimental study involving 228 responses from individuals aged 17 to 51 years (M = 24.12, SD = 7.75), comprising high school and university students enrolled in health and education programmes. Results: Factor analysis supported a two-factor structure for the BDKQ22-Spain, confirming its construct validity and reliability (KR-20 = 0.85) for measuring blood donation knowledge in Spanish. The results identified higher levels of knowledge among women, nursing students, and individuals with previous blood donation experience, while lower scores were observed among minors, future teachers, and therapy students. However, both minors and future teachers showed significant improvements following the intervention, reaching levels comparable to those of nursing students. These findings highlight specific knowledge gaps across sociodemographic and academic groups. Conclusions: The BDKQ22-Spain represents a valid and reliable tool for assessing blood donation knowledge, supporting its use in health and education settings to guide future research and targeted educational strategies

A Prospective Study of Cranial Deformity and Delayed Development in Children González Santos, Josefa; González Bernal, Jerónimo; Fuente Anuncibay, Raquel de la; Aguilar-Parra, José M.; Trigueros Ramos, Rubén; Soto Cámara, Raúl; López Liria, Remedios Plagiocephaly, the most common form of cranial deformity, has become more prevalent in recent years. Many authors have described a number of sequelae of poorly defined etiologies, although several gaps exist in their real scope. This study aimed to analyze the effects of physiotherapy treatments and cranial orthoses on the psychomotor development of infants with cranial deformities, complemented by protocolized postural exercises applied by the family. This prospective study on different developmental areas included a sample of 48 breastfeeding infants aged 6 to 18 months who presented with plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome). The Brunet–Lézine scale was used to perform three tests for assessing the psychomotor development of infants, thus offering a measure for global development. The results suggest that plagiocephaly is a marker for the risk of delayed development, particularly in motor and language areas. This delayed development could be improved with physiotherapy and orthopedic treatment, complemented by interventions by the infants´ relatives.

Design and Validation of an Instrument to Evaluate Cognitive-Physiological Repercussions and Coping Strategies in a Pandemic Situation Gallego Ausín, Noelia; Escolar Llamazares, María del Camino; Corral Puente, Sandra; González Alonso, María Yolanda; Serrano Gómez, Diego; Ortiz-González, Andrea-Liliana; Serrano Pintado, Isabel; Martínez Martín, María Ángeles The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected mental health worldwide, highlighting the need for reliable tools to assess emotional impact (cognitive-psysiological repercusiones) and coping strategies. To validate the psychometric properties of an evaluation instrument with an ad hoc design, called the Evaluation Inventory of Cognitive-Physiological Repercussions and Coping Strategies in a Pandemic Situation (EICPCP), which has two scales: “Cognitive and Physiological repercussions arising from the pandemic due to COVID-19” (RCFPC19-13) and “Coping strategies during the pandemic due to COVID-19” (EAPC19-15). A total of 1,629 participants (students, teachers, and healthcare professionals) from Spain and Colombia completed the instrument. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess their structure and reliability. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the five proposed dimensions: cognitive and physiological impacts on the RCFPC19-13 scale, and adaptation, support, and organization on the EAPC19-15 scale. In addition, satisfactory internal consistency, reliability indices, and temporal stability were obtained for both scales. The EICPCP is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the cognitive-physiological impact of the pandemic and coping strategies employed. This instrument provides valuable insights for clinical research and psychological interventions in pandemic-related mental-health studies..
