Objective: To adapt, validate and evaluate the factorial invariance of a scale that assess the quality of virtual courses (QVC) among health sciences students (HSS). Methods: Cross-sectional study developed with virtual surveys to HSS to assess the QVC of the 2020 academic year, as well as sociodemographic and educational characteristics. Content-based validity was estimated with VAiken. Validity based on internal structure was assessed with the Goodness of Fit Indices (GFI) in the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), considering adequate the comparative fit index (CFI) and the Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) greater than 0.90, as well as values of the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) less than 0.08. Factor invariance was considered adequate when the ΔCFI ≤ 0.010 and the ΔRMSEA ≤ 0.015 between models at different levels. Reli...

“Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally, becoming a long-lasting pandemic. Dengue is the most common arboviral disease in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. COVID-19 and dengue coinfections have been reported, associated with worse outcomes with significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aims to determine the epidemiological situation of COVID-19 and dengue coinfection in Latin America. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS, and BVS databases from January 1, 2020, to September 4, 2021. The key search terms used were ““dengue““ and ““COVID-19““. Results: Nineteen published articles were included. The studies were case reports with a detailed description of the coinfection’s cl...
