- Evaluating virtual reality communication training in nursing and medical education: a multi-country cross-sectional studyPublication . Saab, Mohamad M.; O'Donovan, Mark; Koç, Irem; Kenny, Jennifer; Hrdlicka, Jan; Wild, Jirí; Zielina, Martin; Hrdlickova, Lucie; Rusinová, Katerina; Loucka, Martin; Skvortsova, Aleksandrina; Vliet, Liesbeth M. van; Medema, Madelief; Pieterse, Arianne; Bausewein, Claudia; Krauss, Sabine J.; Rosenbruch, Johannes; Stiel, Stephanie; Afshar, Kambiz; Klemmt, Malte; Alves, Paulo; Silva-Neves, Vasco; Pinho, Salomé; Monteiro, Ana Carolina; Payne, Cathy; Hartigan, IreneIntroduction: Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used in health professions education due to its rapid advancement and proven effectiveness in simulating clinical scenarios. It enhances theoretical knowledge, practical skills, communication, and emotional intelligence in a safe and immersive environment. VR also shows potential to improve communication skills among nursing and medical students, though large-scale research in this area remains limited. Objective: To evaluate VR communication training in nursing and medical education. Methods: A cross-sectional feasibility, usability, and acceptability study was conducted from November 2024 to May 2025. Nursing and medical students were recruited from six universities in five European countries using purposive and snowball sampling. Participants engaged with a VR scenario simulating challenging communication then completed a 35-item electronic survey. This included sociodemographic questions, the System Usability Scale, VR Feasibility Scale, satisfaction questionnaire, and open-ended items. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitative responses underwent content analysis. Results: A total of 268 students participated. Most (70%) had never used VR for education. The VR scenario was well received, with a mean usability score of 78.46/100 and feasibility score of 86.44/100. Satisfaction was high (94%). Nine percent reported issues, mostly visual or technical. Usability scores were higher for students who had used VR for leisure (+3.49 points, p =0.019) and lower for those who experienced symptoms including headache, eye strain, cybersickness, dizziness, emotional upset, and physical discomfort ( 7.37 points, p = 0.021). VR was viewed as a useful, engaging supplement to traditional communication training. Participants valued the immersive, realistic design and structured guidance. They suggested expanding VR with more scenarios and feedback, while noting it should complement real-life practice.

- Quality of life and therapeutic regimen management in onychomycosis patients and in vitro study of antiseptic solutionsPublication . Silva-Neves, Vasco; Hugo, Vitor; Alves, Paulo; Amado, João Costa; Pais-Vieira, Carla; Sousa, Fátima; Cerqueira, Fátima; Pinto, Eugénia; Pais-Vieira, MiguelOnychomycosis or tinea unguium (EE12.1) and Onychomycosis due to non-dermatophyte moulds (1F2D.5) (OM) is a fungal infection of the nail plates with a high prevalence that often affects vulnerable people with co-existing health problems. Gold standard pharmacological treatments for onychomycosis have been associated with low success rates and increasing antifungal resistance, suggesting that treatment outcome is dependent on multiple variables. Here, the prevalence of OM and quality of life were characterized in two vulnerable populations—Hospital patients and Homeless people. Comparing both groups, the most prevalent fungal species were identified in Hospital patients. Then, the in vitro fungicidal properties of the antiseptics povidone-iodine, polyhexamethylene biguanide-betaine, octenidine dihydrochloride, and a super-oxidized solution against two ATCC strains (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) and three clinical fungal isolates from Hospital patients (Candida parapsilosis, Trichophyton interdigitale, and Trichophyton rubrum) were tested. OM prevalence was high in both patient groups studied, who also reported a reduction in quality of life and concerns about the state of their feet. In addition, Hospital patients had a non-negligent therapeutic regimen management style. Antiseptics tested in vitro revealed antifungal properties. As antiseptics are low-cost and easy to apply and have few iatrogenic effects, the demonstration of fungicidal properties of these solutions suggests that they may constitute potential supportive therapeutics for OM.

- Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of quality of life scale in patients with onychomycosisPublication . Silva-Neves, Vasco; Caramelo, Ana; Alves, Paulo; Pais-Vieira, Carla; Minton, Alexandra Palmer; Rodríguez-Leboeuf, Ana María; Pais-Vieira, Miguel(1) Background: Onychomycosis (OM) is a fungal nail infection, considered a risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers. It is associated with changes in quality of life, in terms of pain, self-confidence and self-esteem. The aim was to translate and adapt the OM quality of life questionnaire “OnyCOE-t™–Quality Of Life Questionnaire Onychomycosis (Nail Fungal Condition)”. (2) Methods: This study followed the guidelines proposed by Beaton et al. (2000), where two English to Portuguese translations were performed and, after an expert consensus, a common version was obtained. This was followed by two back-translations. The expert committee achieved semantic equivalence, idioms and concepts. The pre-test was applied to 49 people. The final version and processed data were sent to the authors. (3) Results: We adapted terms semantically, modified statements syntactically, altering items from interrogative to affirmative. (4) Conclusions: The translated version of the “Quality of life–Onychomycosis” questionnaire suggested that it can be used for further studies to test validity and reliability in this population.
