Pertsona gorrak osasun sisteman:paziente eta erizain arteko komunikazio eraginkorraren garrantzia

Zeinu Hizkuntza (ZH) da Gor kulturaren bereizgarri nagusiena, baita mundu entzulearekin komunikatzeko traba handiena suposatzen duena. Gorrek hainbat arazo aurkitzen dituzte Osasun Sisteman entzuleekin komunikatzeko, nahiz eta zerbitzu publikoek komunikazio erraztasunak ahalbidetu behar dizkietela araututa egon. Helburua: Gorren ezaugarri kulturalak ezagutu, Osasun Sisteman dituzten zailtasunak identifikatu eta erizainek Gorren beharrei erantzuteko estrategia eraginkorrak zehaztu. Metodologia: Errebisio bibliografiko honetan, PIO estruktura erabili da. Barneratze eta baztertze irizpideak finkatuta, Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud, PubMed eta Scopus-en burutu da bilaketa, 2005-2010 urte tarteko artikuluak aztertuz. Emaitzak: Gortasuna ikuspuntu medikotik bereizten du Gor kulturak, izan ere, beraien ezaugarri naturaltzat dute. Gorrek komunitate bat eratzen dute, beraien artean elkar identifikatu eta kulturaren garapenean laguntzen dutelarik. Hizkuntza ezberdina darabiltenez, Osasun Sisteman zailtasunak aurkitzen dituzte, honek ezaguera ezera eta gaixotasunak pairatzeko arrisku handiagora eramanez. Arrazoietako bat, profesionalek kultura hau ezezagun izatea da, heziketa gabeziagatik, batik bat. Gainera, ez dute pazientziarik, honek Gorretan konfiantza eza eta beldurra eraginez. Horrenbestez, funtsezkoa da erizainak Gor kulturaren inguruan heztea, pertsona hauekin eraginkorki komunikatzeko nahiz arreta kalitatea ahalik eta hoberena izateko. Halaber, ezinbestekoa da Gorrentzako informazioa egokitzea. Ondorioak: Osasun Sisteman komunikazio zailtasunak dituzte Gorrek eta ondorioz, osasun gaietan ezaguera baxuagoa dute, gaixotasunak pairatzeko arrisku handiagoarekin bat. Horregatik, sentikorra den informazioa ahalbidetu behar zaio biztanleria honi. Halaber, profesionalek Gor kulturaren inguruko heziketa jaso behar dute, baita komunikazio eraginkorrerako erraztasunak ahalbidetu ere.

Cooperative learning strategies to teach nutrition to geriatric nursing staff

[EN] The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that cooperative learning strategies will help to increase nutrition knowledge of nurses and nursing assistants caring for the elderly in different institutional communities of the Basque Country, Spain. The target population was a sample of volunteers, 16 nurses and 28 nursing assistants. Training consisted of 12 nutrition education sessions using cooperative strategies conducted over a period of 3 consecutive weeks. The assessment instruments included two pretest and two posttest questionnaires with questions selected in multiplechoice format. The first questionnaire was about general knowledge of applied nutrition (0-88 point scale) and the second one on geriatric nutrition knowledge (0-18 point scale). Data were analyzed using SPSS vs. 11.0. The outcomes indicated a significant increase in general nutrition knowledge (difference between the pre- and posttest mean score: 14.5±10.1; P<0.001) and in geriatric nutrition knowledge for all participants (difference between the pre- and post-test mean score: 4.6±4.6; P<0.001). So the results indicated that cooperative learning strategies could improve the nutrition knowledge of nursing staff. Additionally, the results of this study provide direction to continuing nutrition education program planners regarding appropriate content and methodology for programs.

Implementation of a nursing competency assessment system in public hospitals

Numerous problems are frequently observed when nursing competency assessment systems (NCAS) are implemented. How to effectively implement a nursing competency assessment system, according to academic and practical contributions, is poorly reported in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to present a set of recommendations for public hospitals and nursing management in order to facilitate the implementation of a NCAS. To achieve this objective we have revised the existing literature and conducted a Delphi study with nursing managers and human resource managers of the public hospitals of the Basque Health Service. The results are that the implementation of a NCAS requires a well-planned strategy that managers must consider before implementing any NCAS. This strategy must include, at minimum, the following aspects: communication, training, leadership, and content where the NCAS is concerned. The context of the organisations and the cultural dimensions may also influence the results of the application of the system.
