Abstract	Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine the usefulness of the Modified (10-item) Scale of Perceived Stress related to COVID-19 (EEP-10-C, for its acronym in Spanish) and to identify the levels of stress perceived by students of medical sciences in Cuba due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, with self-reported data of students from 14 Cuban universities of medical sciences (n=200), through an online survey. The EEP-10-C was used as an instrument to identify stress. Its validity was determined through a confirmatory factor analysis and its internal consistency and reliability was measured by the Cronbach's alpha. A cluster analysis was performed to establish as the cut-off point the centre of the cluster with the highest values of stress perceived by the scale. Results: The average age of the sample was 23.30± 1.91 years, with observed scores of the EEP-10-C between 0 and 29 points (13.25±5.404). When applying the cut-off point ≥25, only two students had high rates of perceived stress. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the validity of the instrument (α=0.755). The cut-off point ≥20 was proposed as a reference of high stress perceived for the study population, when applying this one, 14% of students presented high rates of stress. Conclusions: In Cuba, students of the medical sciences have participated in research and healthcare support, despite which they have presented low levels of stress. The main contribution of the research was the validation of the EEP-10-C for its use in assessing levels of stress in Cuban medical students, proposing the cut-off point ≥20 as a reference of high stress perceived.

Abstract	Introduction: The purpose of this study was to validate the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale (ITAS) in the Cuban population with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Material and methods: A cross-sectional, multicentre analytical study was performed in Cuba from February 2020 to April 2021; 199 patients were surveyed in a hospital institution and in primary healthcare. We used the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale, consisting of 20 items, with a minimum score of 20 points and a maximum of 100, where the higher the score, the worse the perception of insulin therapy. The validity of the instrument was determined by means of an exploratory factor analysis. The internal consistency and reliability of the scale were calculated by means of Cronbach's alpha coefficient. A K-means cluster analysis was performed to establish a cut-off point for poor perception of insulin therapy. Results: The exploratory factor analysis supported the validity of the instrument, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.747. There were statistically significant differences between patients under insulin and non-insulin treatment in terms of the answers given in all items of the scale. The total mean score obtained was 51.96 ± 10.78, and it was lower in insulin users compared to those who used other drugs (49.79 ± 10.07 vs 55.09 ± 11.12). A score ≥65 was proposed as a cut-off point for poor perception of insulin therapy. A positive relationship was found between the body mass index values and the total score of the scale. Being female and current treatment not involving insulin were factors associated with low perception of insulin therapy. Conclusions: The instrument proved to be valid for the population in which it was applied. Insulin users turned out to be the ones with the best perception about its use. A cut-off point of ≥65 points for poor perception of insulin treatment was proposed for evaluation and comparison in future studies in other patient populations.

Abstract	Aims: It is important to have valid and reliable measures to determine the psychological impact of COVID-19 in patients with diabetes; however, few instruments have been developed and validated for this population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to validate the Scale of Worry for Contagion of COVID-19 (PRE-COVID-19) in a sample of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and methods: A total of 219 patients (66.2% female, mean age 58.5 SD = 18.2) participated, selected through non-probabilistic sampling. The PRE-COVID-19 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-2 were applied. Reliability analysis was performed for internal consistency, structural equation modeling and item response theory modeling. Results: The results show that a unidimensional 5-item model presents satisfactory goodness-of-fit indices and excellent reliability values. Likewise, convergent validity between the PRE-COVID-19 and a measure of anxiety is evident. All items present adequate discrimination parameters, allowing for discerning between those patients with critical concern about COVID-19 contagion from those with severe concern. Conclusion: It is concluded that the PRE-COVID-19 is an instrument with adequate psychometric properties to measure concern about COVID-19 infection and the emotional impact in patients with DM.

Title translation	Acquiring and maintaining knowledge about cancer from a healthcare audit system in adolescents.
Abstract	Introduction: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in all ages. Promoting knowledge about the disease and its risk factors in adolescents can contribute to adopting healthy lifestyles in adulthood. Objective: To evaluate the acquisition of knowledge about cancer and its retention over time in a group of adolescents, after the implementation of a healthcare audit system. Materials and methods: A before and after, quasi-experimental study was carried out, in adolescents from an urban secondary school in Ciego de Ávila (Cuba), between September 2017 and July 2018. The study consisted of 145 students between 12 and 15 years of age. The study was carried out in three stages: diagnosis, design and intervention, and evaluation (immediate and at six months). At six months, participants were compared with 73 other adolescents (control group) that had not received the audit system. Results: More than two-thirds (69%) of adolescents reported not having received information about cancer or its risk factors, and a large majority (77.2%) considering the need to receive it. By applying the designed audit system, the mean score of the participating group increased (5.08±0.27 vs. 7.0±1.51; P<.01). At six months of evaluation, significant maintenance of the knowledge acquired was achieved (7.0±1.51 vs. 5.98±1.73; P<.01), despite the mean being lower than the first stage. Conclusions: The health audit system managed to satisfy learning needs and light maintenance of knowledge in students six months after its application, and is considered a tool for health promotion and its application is recommended in other settings and areas where conditions allow it.
