Ruben Aragon Posadas

Ruben Aragon Posadas serves as Associate Professor in Nursing at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Burgos. His work integrates teaching, research, and community service, with a focus on elderly health and sexual education.

He earned his doctorate from the University of Burgos in 2022, with a thesis on the "SEXMA" program for elderly sexual education.

Dr. Posadas' primary research interests include gerontological nursing, sexual health education for the elderly, and health promotion. He has spearheaded the SEXMA program and the "Evalúa tu salud" initiative, evaluating non-pharmacological interventions for hypertension and caregiver support. His methodology often involves service-learning and community-based participatory research.

His publication record (2010-2023) shows a progression from hypertension management and caregiver syndrome to a concentrated focus on elderly sexual health, with the SEXMA program dominating recent work. This reflects a commitment to addressing understudied aspects of elderly care through practical, service-oriented research.

He has supervised doctoral students, including Belén Zurro García (2022). While specific grants are not detailed, his projects demonstrate active engagement in university-community partnerships for health improvement.

Dr. Posadas contributes to the University of Burgos Health Promotion Week, illustrating his dedication to applied public health initiatives.
