Resumen

Introducción: La salud de lo pie suele ser descuidada en la atención sanitaria, a pesar de su importancia para los estudiantes de enfermería, quienes pasan largos períodos de pie y caminando.

Objetivo: Explorar la relación entre la salud de los pies, la calidad de vida y los conocimientos de los estudiantes de enfermería en el contexto de la enseñanza clínica.

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio exploratorio multimétodo secuencial con 54 estudiantes, seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional en bola de nieve. La evaluación se llevó a cabo en el mes 0 y el mes 5 para analizar cambios en la exposición clínica.

Resultados: Se identificaron cambios en la calidad de vida, especialmente en “dolor/malestar” y “ansiedad/depresión”. Los problemas en los pies fueron frecuentes, como pies fríos (57,4%) y callosidades (29,6%), con una conciencia limitada sobre deformidades estructurales. Destacaron correlaciones significativas, incluida una fuerte relación entre ampollas y “dolor/malestar” en el mes 0 (0,614; p < 0,05), que se redujo en el mes 5 (0,494; p < 0,01). El dolor en los dedos mostró una correlación muy fuerte con “dolor/malestar” (0,926; p < 0,01), y el dolor en el tobillo se asoció moderadamente con “problemas en la realización de actividades habituales” (0,520; p < 0,05).

Conclusión: El estudio destaca la relación entre la salud de los pies y la calidad de vida de los estudiantes de enfermería, recomendando intervenciones ergonómicas y mejoras en el calzado para promover el bienestar físico y mental.
