Psychometric design and validation of a tool to assess the medication administration process through simulation in undergraduate nursing students

BackgroundMedication errors account for 38% of adverse events reported among undergraduate nursing students. Simulation provides training for nursing students in the medication administration process. However, there is a lack of reliable and valid instruments to measure its assessment. ObjectivesTo design and validate a new tool (MEDICORRECT) to assess undergraduate nursing students in the medication administration process using a high-fidelity simulation scenario. Design and methodsStudy participants were fourth year undergraduate nursing students at the University of Barcelona. Phase 1 consisted of tool design and drafting, and content validity and feasibility analyses. Phase 2 covered construct validity and interrater reliability. A factor analysis was conducted, involving a principal component analysis and varimax rotation. FindingsOf 21 initial items, 11 were eliminated because of low content validity ratio, 4 of which assessed cognitive skills such as administering the right medicine at the right dose, which were impossible to observe in the simulation scenario. The final version of MEDICORRECT contained 10 items. The exploratory factor analysis identified a four-factorial model explaining 67.3% of the variance. Interrater agreement measured with Kappa was greater than 0.70 for 80% of items. ConclusionsThe 10 items in MEDICORRECT are relevant and feasible, have suitable psychometric properties and reflect the practical skills identified in the medication administration process. The tool excludes cognitive skills, which should be included and assessed during prebriefing.

"Un conejo dos conejos / tres conejos con el alba", la canción popular y el itinerario en Los pasos del cazador

En esta contribución se estudia la influencia de la lírica tradicional y de la canción popular en la génesis y en el desarrollo de algunos de los poemas de Los pasos del cazador (1980). Se parte del análisis del volumen como un itinerario en el que cada texto representa un hito en el camino del yo poético, un cazador que va exponiendo sus vivencias cinegéticas y amorosas a través de la reescritura de temas, géneros y motivos recurrentes en la tradición lírica española más antigua. Las versiones no publicadas de los poemas analizados son textos manuscritos y mecanogra"ados conservados en la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, en el Fondo José Agustín Goytisolo.

The organizational adaptation of universities to smart specialization: the emergence of strategic network interface units

ABSTRACT Universities are increasingly expected to engage in regional innovation policy. This has reinforced the need for organizational adaptation of university structures to respond to these new challenges. Recently, a variation in the typical knowledge transfer structures has emerged: strategic network interface units. These units are multidisciplinary and cluster-like formal networks led by universities in collaboration with businesses, government authorities and other organizations. This paper compares the organizational adaptation of two universities – the University of Aveiro and the Autonomous University of Barcelona – as they assume increased responsibilities in regional innovation dynamics. Through interview-based analysis, findings suggest these interface units were created to support the alignment of the universities with smart specialization strategies and EU priority areas for accessing funding. However, while the original aims of these units are very similar, their institutional and operational configuration has led to different cooperative arrangements. Transversal communication based on trust and capacity-building was an important supporting factor in the innovation impact of these units.

Corrientes teóricas en Sociología que han contribuido a la formación de trabajadores/as sociales. El caso de la Escuela de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Barcelona

El presente artículo expone los principales resultados de una investigación que pretende evidenciar las principales corrientes teóricas provenientes de la Sociología, que han contribuido a la formación de trabajadores sociales, acotado a un estudio de casos, por lo que los resultados que se exponen no pueden ser extrapolables a otras situaciones análogas. Como aportación innovadora se identifican las dimensiones más significativas asociadas a cada una de las corrientes teóricas, lo que permite profundizar en los elementos de la teoría que han sido nucleares en la formación de los trabajadores sociales, en la Escuela de Trabajos Social de la Universidad de Barcelona durante el período de 1955 al 2013. El artículo consta de cuatro apartados: en el primer apartado se expone la pretensión de la investigación, los antecedentes del objeto de estudio y la posición investigadora de la que se parte; en la segunda parte se expone la metodología utilizada, que ha sido la mixta secuencial, se ha elaborado un instrumento métrico multidimensional para el análisis y representación gráfica del contenido de las fuentes primarias y secundarias; en la tercera parte se presentan algunos de los resultados más destacados de la investigación, evidenciando las tendencias teóricas en contextos socialmente indexados y las dimensiones asociadas; para finalizar en el último apartado se exponen las conclusiones.

Governança em saúde pública: mecanismos e critérios avaliativos em processos de participação cidadã

Este ensaio presta-se a uma análise comparativa entre a metodologia do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), elaborada para aferir a maturidade da governança nos Conselhos de Saúde brasileiros, e os critérios de avaliação em processos de participação cidadã propostos pelo Instituto de Governo e Políticas Públicas da Universidade Autônoma de Barcelona (IGOP). Inicialmente, este estudo trata da pertinência e para a representatividade dos Conselhos de Saúde no contexto local em que se situam. Em seguida, discorre-se sobre as fragilidades estruturais e a preocupante incipiência de tais colegiados nas questões atinentes à governança pública. Quanto aos resultados alcançados, o trabalho revelou que os modelos do TCU e do IGOP, embora tenham sido desenvolvidos para atender a demandas e a realidades diversas, quando confrontados entre si, apresentaram diversos pontos de convergência. De modo que, ressalvadas as adaptações necessárias, as matrizes buscam cumprir o mesmo objetivo, qual seja: instrumentalizar a população a realizar um controle social das políticas públicas, de forma mais eficiente, eficaz e efetiva.

Covid-19: A Disaster in the Linguistic Dimension of Different Countries

Covid‑19 is highly relevant in 2020; among other things, it is attracting new global socio-communicative and linguistic research. Scholars are addressing the linguistic response to the social and psychological situation in different countries in the era of coronavirus. Thus, the Editorial Board has created a forum for specialists to communicate (in writing), one which makes it possible to provide information about their sources on Covid‑19 and illustrate theoretical materials. The participants chose to analyse different aspects of language during the pandemic; medical terminology and its relevant vocabulary were the same for all countries. The conversation goes beyond the scope of linguistics, as it is important for the researchers to characterise measures taken by governments to combat Covid‑19 and the public’s reaction to them as reflected through language. Additionally, the authors focus on spontaneous linguistic responses to the pandemic in the form of language games, metaphors, and references to historical memory of combatting disasters. The pandemic has also caused long-standing forms of speech communication to change. Researchers from different European countries have took part: Arto Mustajoki (University of Helsinki, Finland; National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia), Nadezjda Zorikhina Nilsson (Stockholm University, Sweden), Rafael Guzmán Tirado (University of Granada, Spain), Anna Tous-Rovirosa and Daria Dergacheva (Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain). The conversation was moderated by Irina Vepreva and Tatiana Itskovich (Ural Federal University Yekaterinburg, Russia).

Nursing students' satisfaction with narrative photography as a method to develop empathy towards people with Hiv: A mixed-design study

BackgroundA major concern for people living with HIV during their lifetime is stigma and discrimination. It is therefore crucial to improve new generations of nurses' empathetic attitude towards these patients to eliminate fear and reduce discrimination using new educational interventions. ObjectiveTo analyze nursing students' satisfaction with narrative photography as a method to develop empathy towards people living with HIV. DesignConcurrent mixed-method design. ParticipantsSeventeen first-year nursing students from a public university in Barcelona, Spain. MethodsA 32-item questionnaire was administered at the end of the narrative photography training activity to determine nursing students' satisfaction with the methodology. Sociodemographic, attitudinal, skills, and satisfaction data were collected. Qualitative data were collected using a reflective open-ended question. ResultsOf the participants, 82.4% stated that narrative photography helped them to develop reflective thinking and perceive how people living with HIV may feel. Further, 88.2% said that the new method helped them to eliminate some of their prejudices about HIV/AIDS, consider different points of view, understand the importance of providing humanized care, and identify discriminatory behaviors when caring for people living with HIV. Finally, 70.6% stated that narrative photography taught them more than traditional lectures. ConclusionsNursing students' satisfaction with narrative photography as a teaching strategy is very high; as a result, empathy is advanced in an academic and professional way during the nursing degree. However, more research is needed to demonstrate its efficacy in different scenarios.

Educación en tiempos de pandemia: reflexiones de alumnos y profesores sobre la enseñanza virtual universitaria en España, Italia y Ecuador

Introducción. Esta investigación realizó un estudio comparativo entre tres países muy impactados por el coronavirus a partir del análisis de las reflexiones de docentes y estudiantes sobre la enseñanza virtual universitaria durante la etapa de confinamiento. Metodología. El estudio, de carácter descriptivo, exploratorio y explicativo, aplicó encuestas, entre marzo y abril de 2020, a estudiantes y docentes de Periodismo, Comunicación y Educación de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (España), Universidad de Torino (Italia) y Universidad Técnica de Machala (Ecuador). La encuesta tuvo respuestas de 300 estudiantes (100 por país) y 196 docentes. Resultados. Los estudiantes, de forma mayoritaria, valoran negativamente el paso a la virtualidad, pues este se asocia, de forma recurrente, con un incremente de la carga lectiva. La teleformación ha contribuido a impactar negativamente en la visión del alumnado sobre sus formadores, mientras que en estos últimos demandan competencias digitales básicas en los jóvenes universitarios. Discusión. Según los hallazgos obtenidos, los docentes, en el escenario de la teleformación, deben mostrar conocimientos no solo sobre el contenido de la materia, sino también conocimiento tecnológico y pedagógico-digital. Conclusiones. El docente tiene que ser capaz de innovar, reflexionar y transformar sus propuestas didácticas para responder a las demandas sociales que vive el mundo en medio de una crisis sanitaria, a la vez que se alcancen los objetivos curriculares propuestos al inicio del curso. Por otro lado, los docentes encuestados reconocen que es necesario la promoción del pensamiento crítico y reflexivo vinculado a la gestión estratégica de las TIC.

Outcomes and Toxicities with Partial Breast Irradiation vs. Whole Breast Irradiation: A Meta-Analysis

Whole breast irradiation (WBI) has traditionally been considered the primary adjuvant radiation therapy technique after breast conserving surgery. However, over the past two decades, partial breast irradiation (PBI) has emerged as an alternative to WBI, offering the potential for shorter courses of radiation and improved toxicity profiles. Several randomized trials using different PBI techniques have recently been published. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to compare outcomes between WBI and PBI as well as compare outcomes with various PBI techniques. For this analysis, seven randomized trials were included (National Institute of Oncology, GEC-ESTRO, University of Florence, Barcelona, RAPID, IMPORT-LOW, and NSABP B39). Older trials evaluating PBI were excluded as they were performed prior to the 3-dimensional treatment era and were not consistent with modern PBI techniques. Randomized trials evaluating intraoperative radiation therapy were excluded due to differences in technique as compared to traditional PBI techniques. PBI trials were divided into external beam (3D-CRT/IMRT; University of Florence, Barcelona, RAPID, IMPORT-LOW, and NSABP B39) and brachytherapy (National Institute of Oncology, GEC-ESTRO). As the majority of patients in NSABP B39 were treated with 3D-CRT (73%, n = 1536), this was considered an external beam PBI trial in this analysis. Outcomes evaluated included ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) at 5 years as well as acute (RAPID, University of Florence and Barcelona trials) and late toxicities (RAPID, University of Florence, Barcelona; GEC-ESTRO, IMPORT LOW trials provided Grade 2+ toxicities). A Bayesian logistic regression model evaluated the risk of above outcomes for evidence of deviation by WBI and PBI techniques. Statistical estimation reports risk of rate by posterior median and 95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval. A total of 9,758 patients were included with 4,840 receiving WBI and 4,918 PBI. At 5 years, no difference in IBTR was noted between PBI (1.8%, 95% CI 0.68%-3.2%) and WBI (1.7%, 95% CI 0.92%-2.4%). By PBI technique, the 5-year IBTR rate for 3DCRT/IMRT was 1.7%, and 2.2% for brachytherapy. With respect to acute toxicities, grade 2/3 rates were 7.1%/0% with PBI as compared to 40.0%/3.6% with WBI. For late toxicities, grade 2/3 rates were 0%/0% with PBI as compared to 1.0%/0% with WBI and for grade 2+ were 1.2% with PBI versus 3.6% with WBI. IBTR rates were similar between PBI and WBI with no differences noted by PBI technique. Acute and late toxicities were lower with PBI as compared to WBI. Additional data from randomized trials is needed to compare toxicity profiles between various PBI techniques.
