Implementation of the nursing process in a health area: models and assessment structures used

Objective: to analyze what nursing models and nursing assessment structures have been used in the implementation of the nursing process at the public and private centers in the health area Gipuzkoa (Basque Country). Method: a retrospective study was undertaken, based on the analysis of the nursing records used at the 158 centers studied. Results: the Henderson model, Carpenito's bifocal structure, Gordon's assessment structure and the Resident Assessment Instrument Nursing Home 2.0 have been used as nursing models and assessment structures to implement the nursing process. At some centers, the selected model or assessment structure has varied over time. Conclusion: Henderson's model has been the most used to implement the nursing process. Furthermore, the trend is observed to complement or replace Henderson's model by nursing assessment structures.

A behavior model for blood donors and marketing strategies to retain and attract them

Objective: analyze and propose a theoretical model that describes blood donor decisions to help staff working in blood banks (nurses and others) in their efforts to capture and retain donors. Methods: analysis of several studies on the motivations to give blood in Spain over the last six years, as well as past literature on the topic, the authors' experiences in the last 25 years in over 15 Non Governmental Organizations with different levels of responsibilities, their experiences as blood donors and the informal interviews developed during those 25 years. Results: a model is proposed with different internal and external factors that influence blood donation, as well as the different stages of the decision-making process. Conclusion: the knowledge of the donation process permits the development of marketing strategies that help to increase donors and donations.

Sobre la productio ob caesuram de sílaba abierta en el hexámetro latino

[ES] La posibilidad de contar como larga una sílaba breve acabada en consonante y ante cesura es una licencia que, aunque utilizada parcamente por todos los poetas latinos de la Antigüedad, siempre ha sido reconocida como tal. No ocurre lo mismo con los casos de alargamiento en sílaba abierta: rodeados de problemas de diverso tipo, han sido vistos con frecuencia como un fenómeno distinto del anterior. A partir de los testimonios de algunos gramáticos antiguos, se postula la existencia de una estricta prohibición de tales alargamientos de sílabas abiertas a partir de mediados del siglo I d.C.

La retórica latino-cristiana: Agustín de Hipona

[EN] The "Christian Scientia" as it is presented in "De Doctrina Christiana" has two aspects: inventio, which corresponds to intellectio, to the understanding of the Holy Writings, and, on other hand, the exposition of the results obtained. These two sides are closely linked in his ideal of oratory: "dicere sapienter et eloquenter". On trying to acquire eloquence the main point is the "familiaritas" with the models, and these are the Writings and the Christian authors, the only models, as for content and form, that must be of any interest to the Christian orator. From this point of view the place left for standard rhetoric is very small.

Sobre la "productio ob caesuram" de sílaba abierta en el hexámetro latino

[ES] La posibilidad de contar como larga una sílaba breve acabada en consonante y ante cesura es una licencia que, aunque utilizada parcamente por los poetas latinos de la Antigüedad, era y es reconocida por todos los filólogos como tal licencia. No ocurre lo mismo con los casos de alargamiento en sílaba abierta: rodeados de problemas de diverso tipo, han sido vistos con frecuencia como un fenómeno distinto del anterior. El autor de este artículo propone una lectura de algunos testimonios de los gramáticos latinos antiguos que permite postular la existencia de una estricta prohibición de estos alargamientos de sílabas abiertas a partir de mediados del siglo I d.
